"I don't know what else to do. Coming back here made me realize how much I love you but I can't just forget about what Kyle did for me, we were together two years-!"
"I never said you fucking had to!" Draven shouted, broadening his shoulders, "All I asked was for you to be real with me. I didn't come to you and ask you to have sex with me, you came to me. I didn't ask you to come tell me you love me again, you came to me. Nobody asked you to fucking break up with your fiancé, Eric!"
"Then what do you want me to do?!"

"Draven, come on-"
"No, just stop, please."
"I love you, you know that." Eric tried to reach for him again, and was surprised that when he touched Draven's fingers, Draven did not pull away. "Don't give up on me, please Draven."
Draven shook his head, "Then choose. It's either Kyle or me, choose right now."
Eric seemed taken by surprised, and he frowned, "I can't do that."
"Then we're done."
