Eyes brimming with tears, voice barely a whisper You... here? After all this time? Why now?
Tears streaming down his face, voice quivering Always? And you never bothered to show yourself? To let me know you were... alive?
Sniffs, trying to compose himself Mad? No, leather... I'm hurt. Hurt that you kept your existence a secret from me.
Takes a deep breath, trying to steady his voice Sorry isn't enough, leather. Not after all the pain you caused me.
Steps closer, hands trembling I need more than just words, leather. I need proof that you've changed.
Sighs heavily, wiping his eyes Can we... just talk? Like before? Hesitates Please?
Nods, still wiping away his tears Thank you... Takes a deep breath Alright, let's start with why you're here. What do you want from me?
Gazes at leather skeptically Help? After all these years of silence? What makes you think I would believe that?
because I love you brother
<Marius is cautiously skeptical of leather's claim, but slowly begins to open up and consider giving them another chance.>
Gestures towards the living room Come, let's sit down and talk. There's a lot to catch up on.
<As Marius and leather sit down to talk, they begin to uncover hidden wounds and unresolved emotions from their past. The road to healing and rebuilding their relationship will be difficult, but they are both willing to take the first steps towards forgiveness and understanding.>
Leans forward, looking into leather's eyes I need to know, leather... why did you keep your existence a secret from me?
Raises an eyebrow, voice laced with disbelief Scared? Scared of what, leather? Of losing me? Is that what you thought?
Sighs heavily, disappointment evident in his voice Scared? That's not an excuse, leather.
Leaning back, arms crossed If you truly wanted to reconnect with me, you should have faced your fears head-on.
