Part 1

Context: You were a DJ for a strip club. At least, you were before you met the mobster Donovan Greywater aka 'Donnie'. You met him during a tense shift at the club, and he's been hung up on you ever since. He's crazy, there's no questioning it, but he's got a lot of redeeming qualities! He's even taking you out on a fancy cruise for your first big couple's activity. Doesn't that sound nice?

Setting: A distinctly reptilian island

[Scene opens in…???]

[SFX: Faint hissing/tropical forest ambiance/ocean waves lapping sand nearby]

[...You were on a boat, you’re sure…]

[SFX: Faint sounds of a boat collision/crash/people screaming]

[...You were on a boat with your boyfriend before it hit a reef]

[Pause…]

[You were with… Donnie]

[SFX: The Listener falling into the water before the memory fades and they begin to wake]

[...Donnie…?]

Ba-y!

[SFX: Reptilian hissing]

BABY! HANG ON, I SEE YOU, HANG ON!!

[Your eyes open slowly. Everything hurts]

[SFX: Louder reptilian hissing]

“BABY, GET UP, THAT’S A FUCKIN’ KOMODO-!”

[Your brain runs through your love of animals encyclopedia. Komodo dragons currently are ranking in the “fuck that” section]

[SFX: Donnie sprinting]

“Godamnit, you giant septic tank of a fucking monitor lizard, back off my BABY!”

[That’s about when you get to see your mobster boyfriend full-on suplex a ten-foot prehistoric middle finger]

[SFX: Confused, panicked hissing]

[P-Pause…]

[Donnie throws the poor creature aside, panting]

“...It’s OK… Ship crashed, we’re on a fucking Komodo island, I just suplexed a Komodo dragon, it’s fine…”

[SFX: A LOT more reptilian hissing]

[Your boyfriend snarls through his teeth, clenches his fist, and whips around]

“...Or I’m going to have to make you fuckers extinct in the sanctity of your own fucking home… C’MON, YOU KNIFE-TEETH HIDIN’, CHEAP-CAMPIN’, GRAVE-ROBBIN’ muddaFUCKAS!”

[You curl in a ball, trying to protect your twisted ankle while your boyfriend squares up with near-literal dinosaurs]

[...]

[This is it. This is how you both die, you’re sure of it…]

[Pause - Break]

[Somehow, you both still live. About an hour after the initial confrontation, Donnie has you riding on his back as he hurries through the dense jungle]

[...]

[Donnie laughs as he carries you on his back]

“Shit, I didn’t expect to take out twenty of ‘em either! Guess boxing with Enzo is actually doing me some good. Told you we weren’t dying today!”

[Pause]

“Yeah, the one that doesn’t understand memes. Nice guy. Kind of a dumbass, tho.”

[...?]

“Hell yes, I’m gonna tell him I beat up twenty Komodo dragons with my bare fucking fists! And teeth, a little…”

[Pause]

“Hey, One-Eye bit me first. Fucker.”

[...]

[His voice softens]

“Hey, hey...We’re gonna be OK, Baby, don’t you worry. This ain’t my first ship-crashing scenario. How’s the ankle…?”

[...]

[He sighs]

“...First vacation together as a couple and the ship sinks… My fuckin’ luck… Just wanted to take my sweetheart somewhere nice and BOOM! Fuckin’ Komodo Island. Komodo my fuckin’ ass.”

[...]

“...Hey. You wanna hear the greatest love story never told?”

[...Pause?]

[He chuckles, still hefting you with ease]

“Well, it begins with a man named Lucien Greywater and a little bellhop at a hotel. A mobster staying at a nice hotel when someone ran in to try and gun him down and this little sassy minx named Milly charged the guy with a suitcase! Knocks him clean out!”

[Pause!]

[He laughs, maneuvering through the brush]

“I know! And then Miss Milly turns back to look at Mr. Greywater, who is in absolute awe, by the way, and says, ‘Dang Mister, don’t you know how to protect yourself? You outta get you a bodyguard’.”

[Pause????]

“What did he say? Well, as Dad liked to recount it, he put on his most devastating romantic smolder and said, ‘Yeah? You’re hired’.”

[Pause!]

“Oho, I don’t think Ma was expecting him to be that confident either, especially not after that display. But… for all of his faults, Pops always knew what he wanted, and that feisty little bellhop had just stolen his heart, right in front of him!”

[Pause <3]

“Heh… Yeah. Dad wasn’t always warm… He didn’t always have a kind word… but I knew he loved Mom, and Mom loved me, so… I think that’s enough, you know?”

[...]

[SFX: Him continuing to jog]

“It’s been a while since I been out here but I think I have a spot for just such a disaster as this.”

[Pause???]

[Donnie laughs]

“Baby, I’m psychic, remember? I have a lot of shelters, bug-out plans, weapons, and various other means to keep my business from crashing pretty much worldwide, and, yeah, crashing on Komodo Island was one of those. Didn’t expect I’d be piggybacking my partner during, hehe. Ah! There we go. See that little cabin there?”

[Pause]

“Eyup, all ours, and Komodo free… Well, it better be. I don’t mind putting more lizards in the ground but I also don’t wanna get yelled at if the fuckers are endangered or something.”

[Pause…]

[SFX: A lock being fiddled with and a door swinging open]

[He manages to get the cabin open and carry you in, setting you down on an immaculate couch]

“There we go… You sit right here for a sec, Baby, OK? I’m gonna wrap your ankle.”

[Pause]

[SFX: Cloth ripping]

[To your shock, he rips his expensive jacket for strips of cloth and wraps your ankle]

[Pause!]

“Huh? What about my jacket?”

[Pause!!]

“Pfft, yeah, it’s expensive. Who cares? If it was sentimental, I wouldn’t wear it, and I can always just toss on a damned muscle shirt or somethin’. Your ankle’s hurt… and Donnie wants to take care of his Baby, alright?”

[...]

“Heh… God, I love that smile. Sit still, OK?”

[Pause]

[SFX: Extended cloth shuffling/ripping mixed in with some Donnie grumbles/swears]

“There we go… Phew, honestly? Being shirtless is a lot nicer in this heat, sheesh.”

[...]

“...Someone’s ogling me.”

[Pause…]

“Hey, you’re allowed to! C’mon… How come you won’t look at me for more than a second or two?”

[...]

[He sits next to you, listening while you explain]

[Long Pause]

“...Partners in the past were richer than you and treated you like property, so you’re leery about not being able to take care of yourself…”

[...]

[He nods, more to himself than anything or one else]

“...Anyone I’d know?”

[...]

“You want ‘em dead?”

[Pause!]

[He huffs but nods again]

“...I get it. I have a lot of power and a lot of money and I’m a scary guy. I’d be fuckin’ scared to trust me, too…”

[...]

[He tenses as you rest your head on his shoulder but immediately eases]

“Oh? Resting your head on my shoulder, huh?”

[...Pause]

“Heh… Yeah, I don’t doubt you don’t know a lot of people that’d fight a dinosaur for you… but I would. I know most of those assholes would have left you there to be food, but when Donovan Greywater says he loves someone more than his own life, he means it.”

[...Pause <3]

[He giggles a little with that raw chaos energy]

“Ooh, you never noticed how buff I was? Oh no, not my Babydoll flirting with me while we’re both delirious off of adrenaline.”

[You share a little kiss, at ease]

[<3]

“Hmhm, mwah. I do love kisses from you… But, ah, before we start acting like randy idiots, let me go ahead and put in a request for emergency rescue. I saw a bunch of people swimming for another part of the island, but I doubt everyone made it off the ship…”

[...]

[He stands with a sigh, running his hands through his hair]

“...I’ll make you a strong drink while I’m a it. Gotta take care of my Baby, eh?”

[Pause <3]

“I’d love a back rub when I get back, Sweetness. You hear any hissing or lizard sass, you know what to do.”

[Pause?]

[He tosses his head back and laughs]

“Godamn right! Aim for the throats and insult their ancestors!”

[With that, he heads off into what you presume is the kitchen. It’s not exactly how you saw your first vacation with your new boyfriend going but… fuck it, right? He beat up dinosaurs for you and he’s hot]

[To be continued?]
