Did they say they wanted more from you?

nah she didnt
this ones all me

Then in this case, you seem to be doing this more for your own guilt than for her. You should focus on improving yourself, so you do not make the same mistakes again.

You cannot change the past. You can change what you do going forward, and that effort will be more meaningful that any attempt to make up for what you did.

[Unfortunately, Beat and guilt were quite well-acquainted with one another. Each time something goes wrong, he had been eaten up by the guilt for something he feels he's done, whether it be true or not. This is something he did time and time again. A cycle he doesn't know how to break. Reading it being said to him felt like salt being rubbed on a fresh wound.]

aint that what im doing?
i wanna do something for her so she know im in it for real

Once more, she did not ask you to, and repeated attempts to make it up to her will hinge on her forgiveness rather than your commitment to change. Will you blackmail her with your favors and guilt until you are satisfied with her forgiveness?

I've already said that she is not obligated to forgive you. That is for her to decide not you.

If you must prove you're serious, state what you did wrong, how you will avoid doing that again in the future, and then follow through regardless of obtaining her forgiveness or not.

[ Is it obvious that this hits on something for Sherlock? ]

im hella serious yo!
and i aint gonna use whatever i do against her!
shes already forgiven me but i just wanna do more

[Unfortunately, it's not obvious to Beat. If anything, the repetition only frustrates him. But fine, he can answer that.]

i forgot that my girlfriend WAS my girlfriend
and when i remembered her and everything before i got here i pretended that i didnt
cause i thought she deserved better than a loser like me who forgot about her
but i aint gonna go lying no more just cause i think its the right thing to do
if imma protect her imma do it another way
imma do it the right way!

[ Wait, what? ]

If you have her forgiveness and have decided how you will prevent yourself from making the same mistake, then why are you doing all this? Do you not trust her or her decision?

i hella trust her yo!
but i just wanna do more for her
the shit i pulled made her cry and i just wanna see her smile instead
i want her to be happy

I may not have extensive knowledge or experience in this area, but could you not simply do what friends and lovers do?

huh? whatchu talking about?

Could you not share a meal or a concert? A game of chess or reading the newspaper together?

[While the first two sound fun and something they would both do, the other two seem like a totally snooze-fest. Thankfully this was over text because boy is his grimacing at the screen right now.]

i mean yeah sure
but i wanna do something or get something on toppa all that
something that shes really gonna like

[ Sherlock has to read that message multiple times because he has learned that people are far too eager to overshare certain private details in this world and the alternate usage of certain words. He doesn't know this person to make a judgement on them personally, just the evidence he sees and has seen.

It was only a matter of time that he tried to look too much into the pattern and saw things that weren't there. (Not the first time he's done that) ]

Then ask her if that's what she wants or her preference? A number of problems would be solved if couples simply talked to each other.

[Now it's Beat's turn to stare at the message that popped up, not really sure what they mean by that. He's not that smart but this one actually stumps him.]

hold up yo whatchu talking about?
her preference for what

What are you talking about?

im talking about getting her something she likes
or doing something for her
aint that what i said

[ Christ, Sherlock. Stop being so bad at this. Why can't he figure this out? ]

I am beginning to wonder if the magic that allows us to understand each other regularly breaks for me.

huh? its workin for me
yous typing fine but i aint getting whatchu saying

[Do you though? Really?]

just spit it out yo

[ And what's worse is that Sherlock thinks Jon would somehow understand all of this, but he's gone and left Sherlock without a damn clue. ]

There is no spitting involved.

I once bought a newly married couple a pair of spinning tops only to learn that when I heard of one of them wanting to top, it meant something far more private involving romantic couples.

It would appear I have misunderstood you but in the opposite direction this time.

[Someone wanting to top? What did he mean by that...]

[Oh.]

[Oh.]

YO!
