That Bit Extra—Feeling Optimistic... (Patreon)

CHOICE:  Smile. "Definitely. I'm looking forward to tonight."

A smile catches me at the thought. "Definitely. It's been too long since we've had a chance to spend any real time together."

If Optimist

"You and your optimism," Mason/Morgan grunts, turning to stare out of the window.

I purse my lips. "Is there something wrong with me being positive?"

"Only if you infect me with it."

I can't help but smile as I nudge him/her. "Don't worry. I'll be sure to be optimistic enough for the both of us."

A smile almost catches his/her lips before he/she bites it back with a shake of his/her head. "Let's just get this over with."

If not Optimist

"And your real time together will be under the watchful eye of his husband," Mason/Morgan reminds me.

Some of my enthusiasm deflates before I shrug. "But you'll be there as well."

"Yes, though I'm still unsure why I'm here."

I smile. "Because you want to help me get my friendship back on track?"

He/She arches a brow before a smirk slides across his/her lips. "Or I just hope they'll be some benefit for me later for helping you out."

If Bold

"Then you'll have to make sure and stick out the night to find out," I purr, leaning closer before pulling away when his/her gaze drops to my lips.

He/She scoffs out a breath. "Let's just get this over with."

If Shy

"Benefit? I don't—Oh…." My voice catches in my throat the same second realisation hits me. 

His/Her smile only grows at my fumbling. "Come on. Let's just get this over with so as I can find out."

-

If Neither/Balanced

I roll my eyes. "You're as selfless as always."

"Selflessness isn't my style, sweetheart/handsome." He/She sighs. "Come on. Let's just get this over with."
