Context: You had a high school bully that you had a rather odd dynamic with. He was a big, muscular brute, per usual, but you sort of liked his attention. His need to constantly be around. When you began dating, things made a lot more sense. He worked on himself. You worked on yourself. But he was still obsessed, at the best of times, and you finally had to break it off, despite how much the two of you cared for one another, in your own odd way. It's been a year since the break-up and he wants to meet up. Why? Who knows with that man...

Setting: Howell Park

[Scene opens in a city park]

[SFX: City ambiance/the Listener walking]

[You meander through the city park early one Saturday morning. Your phone is in hand, still showing messages from your ex:]

[Note: This should be read out in the Speaker’s voice still but recommend an effect/reverb on it to differentiate from normal speech]

Hey, it’s me… Could we meet up and talk, please? I know it’s been a year since the break-up, but I’d really appreciate your time…

[Pause…]

Great! I’ll meet you at Howell Park over by our old spot. Thank you, truly, I super appreciate it

[...]

[SFX: The Listener continuing to walk/city park ambiance]

[It doesn’t take long before you see him. It’s odd to see him so many months later. He’s still ripped, eyes still dark and clouded… but they brighten when he sees you]

“Hey! You made it!”

[Pause]

“Here, let me get the chair for you…”

[SFX: Him standing and scooting out the chair]

[...]

“...I’m not gonna yank it out from under you… I promise. Geeze.”

[...Pause]

[You sit. He sits. It’s all terribly awkward]

“...So, um… How have you been…?”

[...Pause]

“Yeah? I’m glad… I’m glad school worked out and you found a job you liked.”

[Pause?]

“Me? Enh… I buried myself in work and working out, same as usual… I miss you… A lot…”

[Pause…]

[He sighs deeply and reaches into his jacket]

“...Look, I don’t want to hurt you, again. It’s been a year since we broke up, and I just… I wrote this to try and get my feelings out. Is it OK if I read it to you? Then you can burn it and I’ll stay away.”

[...]

“Thank you…”

[He sighs again, looking solemnly down at the very crumpled paper in his hands]

[SFX: The paper rustling]

“To the patient, geeky angel that used to love me… I am sorry.”

[...?]

“When we met in high school, I was mean to you. Now that I am in therapy, I realize it is because I had a lot of control and anger issues. I was always angry, and you seemed to understand that…You were nice to me, even though I was mean to you, and when we started dating… I still wasn’t kind to you nearly as much as I should have been… even though you let me explore who and what I was in a safe, supportive manner…”

[Pause…?]

[SFX: The paper shaking a little]

[He sighs heavily and manages to meet your gaze]

“...Listen… we both know I’m a sadist, at heart. Our love language was one only we understood… I didn’t understand the need for so many boundaries and rules and such, because I was obsessed. I was proud. Thinking I had conquered you, somehow… That you’d love me just as much because I demanded it… What I didn’t realize was how much trust you were putting in me by surrendering control. How… special that was…”

[Pause…]

“Baby, for however good of a boyfriend I was outside of the bedroom, I still broke your trust… And the disappointment in your eyes, that look… I’ve never forgotten it…”

[Pause??]

[He gestures angrily, though it is a tired gesture]

“It doesn’t matter if it wasn’t abuse, or even that bad! I’d worked hard to be better, for YEARS, and you were so fucking patient with me… And I made you feel like the only reason I wanted you was for what you offered me…”

[...]

[He scoffs, but does smile]

“I know, right? Talking that therapy talk… She said that you were really good for me… I told her you’d dumped my ass and she clucked her tongue and said, ‘Mmh, what a shame’. And… that’s where the idea for this letter came from… I told her I regret hurting you every single second of every single day and she said, ‘Maybe you should tell that to them, hm? Might make them feel better to hear that you care’... She can be kind of a dick, hmhm.”

[Pause <3]

[His smile turns sad]

“Yeah, well… Let me finish the stupid letter…”

[SFX: Paper rustling]

“Throughout this ‘journey’, I’ve thought a lot about how you made me feel. How happy, strong and appreciated. How sexy and wanted… You made me feel like I had a direction, but the fact that our relationship started with abuse and obsession has been burning me for years. I wanted to make it up to you… Show you that, maybe, trusting me wasn’t the worst choice… That I could be more than the muscular asshole that couldn’t let you go… and I let us both down.”

[...]

“...I think you’re the greatest person I’ve ever met, no matter what my stupid mouth ever said. You’re smart, you’re driven, and you know what you want. You’re smoking fucking hot, and I want to deck anyone that looks at you when we’re out, but… Somehow, you managed to help me get over that jealousy. Those control issues, possessiveness, and… cruelty. Enough that I’ve finally learned that… I had my chance, and I fucked it up, but I genuinely hope you find peace and happiness. Even if it’s not with me.”

[...]

[SFX:Fill-in the tension with city park ambiance]

[...]

[He sighs and crumples the paper up in one hand]

[SFX: Paper being crumpled]

“...That’s it. I just wanted to apologize in person. You’re owed that respect, bare minimum.”

[...]

“...Sorry… I just… I am genuinely so sorry for all the harm I did. Even when you wanted it.”

[Pause…]

[He chuckles]

“...We definitely had some wild nights, didn’t we? Heh… Here’s hoping you can find someone who will be what you need both in and out of the bedroom… Fuck, I made myself mad thinking about it… NOW I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT, UGH!”

[You laugh. Even now, he’s still a big, muscular drama queen]

[Pause!]

“Pfft, you hush… Rome wasn’t built in a day, or… fucking whatever…”

[Pause <3]

“...It’s nice to see you smile again… Nerd.”

[Pause <3]

[He grins at you with that fanged smile that had you the first time you met him]

“I’ll let you get back to it… Thanks for meeting with me, even if it was just for a little bit. It’s… painful as Hell, but nice. I was beginning to forget your smile…”

[Pause…]

[He lingers. You linger… It’s so hard to let go]

“Wait… What did you ask?”

[Pause…?]

[His eyebrows fly up slightly]

“Do… I want to hang out sometime…? Seriously? You’d… r-really…?”

[Pause!]

[He studies you for a moment. Still so imposing, so completely in control]

“...Yeah. Text me some time and we’ll come up with a plan, OK? Same number, fortunately.”

[Pause <3]

[He smiles. Genuinely]

“Yeah… Thanks, Bowtie.”

[Pause!]

[He laughs]

“Oh, no no no no. You NEVER get to live down wearing a bowtie to prom. Sorry… Nerd~”.

[Pause <3]

[He winks at you and a shiver runs down your spine]

“...Careful, don’t melt over one wink at you, you goofball… I might get the notion you’re still into me or something.”

[...]

“Heh… Later, Bowtie.”

[With that and one of his odd little salutes, he leaves you there to try and cope with your current feelings]

[SFX: Fade out on his heavy boots clonking on away]

[To be continued?]

Note: His name is Shane. He is one of my few himbos that falls on the Dom/Sado side harder than the Sub/Maso side. Interpret that how you will.

Second note: There is an NSFW for these two, and there will be more down the line.
