[soon, the time has come for them to go on boat ride. There were a few more couples both gay n straight, some even already married, joining the ride]
Dominator: [showed their tickets to the boatman]
Boatman: (cheks them) (nod) Welcome aboard.
Dominator: (smile) Thank u [led Sylvia] After u, milady
Sylvia: :$ (got on first)
Dominator: [joined her aftr, sitting nxt to her]
Captain: [thru the PA system] Welcome to Sunset Dream, this is ur captain speaking. We'll be heading out soon, so just relax, sit bk n enjoy the ride
Sylvia: :) (watched the view)
Dominator: [watched it as well, leaning bk to relax]
Sylvia: ... So...how about you?
Dominator: Huh? Wat abt me?
Sylvia: Do you...have any family...?
Dominator: Ehh, none whatsoever. My dad was an abusive prick with anger issues and my mom was a drunk, n he often takes it out on me bcoz he knws my mom would be too batshit drunk to feel his smacks, then wen he found out I bought myself a birthday present with money I secretly earned selling his booze n cigarettes, he beat the shit out of me n took away my birthday present. I blew up my family home with my good-for-nothing parents in them n had been on my own evr since
Sylvia: :O ... :( Sorry...
Dominator: [shrugged nonchalantly] Ehh, its fine. Don't feel sorry for me. I stopped feeling sorry for myself yrs ago, n I'm better for it
Sylvia: Hm... (looked back to watch the view)
Dominator: Wat abt u? Got any family?
Sylvia: I hear from my brothers once in a while. Mom...not so much.
Dominator: Brothers? How many do u hv?
Sylvia: Three of them. I'm basically the youngest but they make me feel like I'm the older sibling. (giggle)
Dominator: Ah, men. They'll always be boys somehow (giggle) U said u dont hear frm ur mom a lot? Wat happened btwn u?
Sylvia: If you must know, after me coming out of the closet... she can hardly refer to me as her daughter... :(
Dominator: Ah, I see. Glad I don't exactly hv tht problem, bt...well, sorry for u hving to go thru tht. Wat abt ur dad? Is he OK with u being out?
Sylvia: He's... in a better place, actually.
Dominator: Oh, sorry to hear that
Sylvia: It's okay, really... :( (hugged herself)
Dominator: Sorry, did I bring back old wounds or something? I didn't mean to :(
Sylvia: He was just... a really great dad... we were pretty close... (felt Dominator's arm wrap around her)
Dominator: [she indeed wrapped an arm ard her, while being sorta all macho abt it, her eyes not reli looking at her, bt her gesture seemed to allow her to relax n let her rest her head on her shoulder]
Sylvia: (leaned against the other woman) ... :$
Dominator: ...At least u had a parent tht loved u, n if he were still alive, I bet he'd be right behind u 100% if u came out, loving u just the same, so fuck ur mom, her loss for not appreciating u
Sylvia: ... Thanks, Dee.
Dominator: Wat abt ur bros? They cool with u being out?
Sylvia: (nod) Yeah, they are.
Dominator: At least one of ur living family members didnt ditch u for it [hears a bunch of amazed gasps frm the other passengers] Wat...? [turns to see where they were looking]
Sylvia: (looked also) :O Whoa...
[the scenery showed the galactic water fish, its translucent body shimmered under the rays of the sunset as they jumped n leaped n swam abt, cooing at each other in schools]
Dominator: Wow... Reminds me of the dolphins on Planet Earth at the 3rd galaxy... :)
Sylvia: :) They look amazing...
Dominator: They reli do... :) [smiled a genuine smile she hadn't had in a long, long time]
Sylvia: (glanced) :$ (looked back at the fish)
Dominator: Too bad ur buddy is missing out. I bet he would've loved to look at this sight
Sylvia: He really would.
Dominator: Maybe someday, if he n Bones become a thing, we can introduce him to come here n give this a shot
Sylvia: Heh, yeah. :)
[the duo continued their ride on the boat, enjoying the view n watching the fishes leap by, taking in the romantic relaxing vibe going on the boat]
Sylvia: :)
Dominator: :)
