Time: 5:05 pm, Location: ER room( survivors side of the manor)
Joseph: ....hhhh....
Aesop: J-Joseph!
Joseph: ..Huh?
Aesop: You're awake!
Joseph:....where am I?
Aesop: you're in the ER room.
Joseph: oh I see....
Joseph: ....so I'm guessing you-
Aesop: why did you do that?
Joseph:.......I have my reasons.
Aesop: And What sort of dumb reason would that be? You could've died Joseph don't you understand.
Joseph: maybe I wanted to die. *smiles* If that were the case then what would you do?
Aesop: I....
Joseph:......Never mind-
Aesop: I would've tried to stop you!
Joseph: *shocked* .....eh?
Aesop: I would've.....tried to stop you from doing that......
Joseph: ......*laughs*
Aesop: *blushes UwU* W-What's so funny? This is a matter of life and death!
Joseph: I know I know, it's just that....I would have never imaged that Aesop Carl, the man who always wanted to die so badly, say all of those words, to a hopeless human being like me
Aesop: Joseph... don't say that
Joseph: then what else am I suppose to say? Pathetic? Useless?
Aesop: No! None of that!
Joseph: But it's the truth-
Aesop: Stop saying that!
Aesop: You're not useless neither are you pathetic! You're a hardworking individual who I respect and care about.......you're everything I've always wanted to be...
Joseph: Really? Are you sure about that? Are you aware that you're speaking to a person who killed his own Brother? Do you want to become a murderer like me?
Aesop: ......
Joseph: See? You're afraid of me aren't you? After learning that-
Aesop: Not really, Antonio already told us all about it. Plus I don't really think it was you who killed him.
Joseph: you're wrong, I was the one who killed him. I was the one who gave him the poisoned tea.....If only I had been more cautious....then maybe he wouldn't have.... *cries*
Aesop: *hugs Joseph* it's not your fault. It wasn't your fault at all. you did nothing wrong.
Joseph: *hic* but I-
Aesop: *lets go* Joseph, Do you think that your Brother would want you take all the blame? Would want you to suffer like this?
Joseph: .......
Aesop: Please stop this....don't make your Brother sad...
Joseph: ......
Joseph: why should you care? You're just an outsider aren't you? Don't meddle around with other people's businesses-
Aesop: Oh my god can you just open your eyes for once! Can't you see that people are actually worried for you? Can't you see that I'm worried for you? If I don't give shits about the person then I won't interfere Nor care about their life. You should know this by now. I don't care if I'm an outsider or not, if it concerns someone that I care about then I will make sure that they are safe and happy before dropping it completely.
Joseph: .....why....do you care about me then? I'm....not worthy of anyone's-
Aesop: It's because I love you!
Joseph: .....what?
Aesop: *blushes* I. Like. You. I don't care whether you think you're worthy of someone's love or not. I love you and thats that. If I like them then I like them. Turns out that them is you.
Joseph: ....you're not lying?
Aesop: why would I be lying about something like this?
Joseph: ....*laughs* but why do you like me? Hm~?
Aesop: *blushes even more OwO* D-Do I need a reason?
Joseph: Haha! I'm just kidding...come closer for a Sec.
Aesop: *confused* okay....?
Joseph: *pecks Aesop on thy lips or..mask Idk skndks*
Aesop: *Blushes* *covers his mouth* W-Wha....?
Joseph: that's my answer~
Aesop: at least give me a head up before you do that! Don't ever do that again!
Joseph: No promises~
Aesop: *smiles* Don't ever do that again okay? I don't want to worry like that anymore...
Joseph: Yeah, I know
Aesop: Good....
