Story Script
Luke's Bedroom
Luke: Open your mouth. Ahhhh.
You: Ahhhh...
Luke feeds you a spoonful of cake. The taste of the sweet whipped cream and the slightly tart fruits fill your taste buds...
Luke looks at you in contentment, the smile on his lips growing bigger than ever.
You: My turn now. Open your mouth.
Luke said he wanted to try your cake, but given the fact that you're both terrible chefs...
You two made a compromise— feeding each other cake.
Luke: Ahhhh...
Luke opens his mouth, waiting for you to feed him.
His eyes are closed and he has let his guard down. Seeing this, you feel a little mischievous...
Instead of doing what he wants, you pick up some cream and smear it on his face.
You: Hahahaha, you are officially a cat now!
Luke: ...!
Before you know it, your face is covered in cream, too.
Luke: Now there are two cats.
You: !!!
Luke: Just one side won't do. Cats have whiskers on both sides of their face!
Luke scoops more cream from the plate and goes for a triumphant strike.
Realizing the situation, you wave your hand to signal a truce.
You: Stop. Let's not waste food. We didn't order the cake just to play around with it.
Luke: You aren't tricking me. Who knows what will happen if I stop.
You: You were the one who ambushed me!
After reaching a truce, you and Luke wipe the cream off each other's faces with wet wipes.
He holds the corner of the tissue and carefully wipes your cheeks.
You start with his fingers and work your way up.
When you are done, you two look each other in the eye. You both laugh when you recall the scene from earlier.
You: (We should take a picture to commemorate this.)
Luke: Hold on.
You: ...?
Luke lifts your left hand and lowers his head.
You then feel a warm, wet touch on your knuckle...
You: Ah!
The tip of his tongue gently traces your skin. The subtle licking tingles.
Your brain abruptly draws a blank. You meet his watery, puppy-like eyes...
You can feel the temperature of your cheeks rise, but you don't know what to do.
Luke: Um... It's whipped cream... It got on your hand, so I just...
You: ...
Before you can do anything, Luke has already slipped away to the sink.
He has his back to you, but you can still see his reddened ears.
Luke: Um... I need to wash my face!
You: O-okay.
The warm and wet lick of his... has left traces on your skin...
Your palms begin to burn as you recall the scene.
Your heart pounds and your mind is flooded with nervous anticipation.
You: (Should I wash my face too...?)
Luke's Bedroom
Night has arrived. The warm lights in the house create a cozy and sweet atmosphere.
You: Happy birthday, Luke!
Luke: Thank you, [Player].
Standing face to face with Luke, you carefully take out the gift you prepared from your pocket.
He unwraps the gift box and there is a pair of red bracelets laid out inside.
The gold beads are braided with snake knots on both sides. The red and golden threads are intertwined to form a perfectly symmetrical pattern.
This is the best pair you've braided after many attempts...
Luke: Did you make them?
After seeing the red bracelets, Luke's gaze grows extra soft.
He slowly strokes the edges of the bracelet, as if admiring a world-renowned treasure.
You: (How did he know that I made them...?)
You: Yeah... It took me some time.
You: The red bracelet blesses one with safety. Since your profession is so unique, you definitely need one.
Luke: ...
Luke takes your hand into his palm and holds it gently.
Luke: I know it also means...
Luke: A lifelong commitment.
You: ...
You: How did you know?
Luke scratches his head awkwardly as his face reddens.
Luke: I thought about getting something for you as a souvenir of our love...
Luke: I guess we came up with the same idea.
Luke: [Player], are you willing to make a lifelong commitment with me?
Luke picks up one of the red bracelets and puts it on for you.
There is tenderness in his eyes, through which you can see his determination.
You: Yes...
The red bracelet seems to carry Luke's body heat, causing the temperature to rise where it touches your skin.
Under Luke's expectant gaze, you pick up the other red bracelet and slowly put it on for him...
You: You are my one and only.
You: Take care of yourself for me.
You: This birthday is not only to commemorate the past, and record the present, but also to look into the future.
You: We'll be here for each other, always and forever...
Maybe it's because Luke cares too much about you, or maybe it's because he's been through too much danger...
He always tries to protect you and keeps all the bad parts to himself...
But you don't want to be the one being protected all the time... You want to stand by his side and walk alongside him.
You are partners and lovers who should support each other and be there for each other till the end of time.
You look straight into his eyes. He freezes, utterly dumbfounded.
Luke: You are truly...
His hand gently brushes your cheek.
His voice gets deeper and he leans closer to you.
Luke: My Watson... My love...
Luke: You are my future...
You close your eyes and wrap your arms around his waist just like what your frantically beating heart is telling you to do.
In the next second, his soft, cool, and moist lips are on yours...
He holds you even tighter and his burning body heat ignites the fire in your heart.
The red bracelets you both wear will protect the relationship...
And ensure that you two will never part...
