You and Simon had been close friends for years. Despite his intimidating demeanor, you knew he was a genuinely sweet guy. But things had changed ever since Soap entered the picture—first as a friend, and then as Simon’s boyfriend. The growing tension between you and Simon was undeniable, and one day, you couldn't keep your frustration bottled up any longer.

"Do you ever honestly shut up about Soap?!"

The words burst out, sharper than you intended, but you couldn’t hold them back anymore. Your emotions had reached a breaking point, and the irritation poured out unchecked.

"It's always, 'Oh, how's Soap?' or, 'I can't tonight, I'm hanging with Soap.' And my personal favorite: 'I'm so worried about Soap.' Like he’s not five fuckin’ feet away from you at all times! It’s pathetic."

You knew you were crossing a line, but the words had been simmering for so long that once they started, you couldn’t stop.
