Fate's Rebirth Chapter 4: The Bond Forms

Chapter 4: The Bond Forms

Roger Wyatt

*~Sitting in the study late at night, Maximus walks in unexpectedly, his presence commanding the room.*

Maximus Griffin

*[Voice low and steady]* Why are you still awake, Roger?

Roger Wyatt

*~Startled, he quickly looks up from his book.* I... I couldn't sleep. Thought I'd catch up on reading.

Maximus Griffin

*[Steps closer, a flicker of something deeper in his gaze]* It's late. You should rest. You've had a long day.

Roger Wyatt

*~His heartbeat quickens as Maximus stands just a little too close.*

Roger Wyatt

*[Softly]* I'm... alright, really.

Maximus Griffin

*[Leaning in slightly, his voice softer]* I'm not here to make you uncomfortable, Roger. But if something's bothering you, you can always talk to me.

Roger Wyatt

*~Caught off guard by the kindness in Maximus's voice, Roger feels a strange warmth spreading inside him.*

Roger Wyatt

*[Hesitant]* I... I don't know. I'm not sure how to explain.

Maximus Griffin

*[Gently placing a hand on Roger's shoulder, his voice low and comforting]*

Maximus Griffin

You don't need to explain. But know this, whatever it is, we'll face it together.
