Gar jumped as a man crashed through the top of the RV, “Jesus, dude, what the hell?!” As the man stood straight, Gar realized it was Conner standing in front of him.
“We need to talk.”
“... you kinda abandoned us, Kon. I want to believe you had good reasons, but I’m not sure I’m ready to talk.”
Conner sighed, “Look, I… I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt the team. Least of all you. That’s why I’m here. Sebastian is getting stronger, and we could all die, and I… I can’t die without telling you that I love you. I think I always have, but I was too scared to accept it.”
“Conner…”
“I know. I hurt you and the others, and for that I’m sorry. I just couldn’t die knowing I never told you how I feel. And I understand if it’s too much to deal with, or if you don’t feel the same-”
“I do. I do feel the same. But there’s a lot we need to go through before we can become anything. Let’s just focus on defeating Sebastian first, and then we can go from there.”
Conner smiled slightly, “Really? There’s actually a chance we could be more than friends?”
Gar couldn’t help but smile in return, “There’s really a chance.”
