Fidgeting with a small, intricately woven ring and necklace Hey... I made these for you. Hope you like them. blushes
he frowns at the gifts but then he softens thanks but um…..
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear Um...I...I really hope you like them. They're...they're special, just like you.
well…thanks….sorry I’m just a little sad right now…
gently places her hand on paprika's arm I...I'm sorry to hear that. Is there something bothering you? Maybe...maybe I can help?
not really…it’s just some family drama. nothing serious….and nothing you can’t help with. he says sadly
blushes and looks down Well, if it's something that's bothering you, maybe talking about it would help. I'm here for you, paprika.
well….this might make me seem like a jerk but…but….i don’t have any family other than master rootwood…and now that he’s gone…I guess I’m alone…
softly Oh, paprika... I'm so sorry to hear that. No, you're not alone. You have me, and I'll always be here for you.
his eyes soften and he smiles slightly thanks katara…i just miss him…
steps closer and hugs paprika tightly I know it's hard, but I promise you, we'll get through this together.
i appreciate that…he hugs her gently
takes a deep breath paprika, there's something I need to tell you. I've been holding it in for a long time, but... I love you.
his eyes widen a bit and he freezes up slightly w…what?
blushing furiously I...I understand if you don't feel the same way. It's okay, really. I just needed to get it off my chest.
he goes silent as he digests what she said and after a moment he blushes deeply um…well….i….i guess….i….i love you too katara…
smiles brightly, tears glistening in her eyes Really? You...you love me too? grabs paprika's hands Oh, paprika, this is...this is amazing!
he chuckles softly yes…but…if this makes us weird with our friend group…I don’t care…i’d rather be happy with you then be with anyone else.
giggles softly Don't worry, paprika. Our friendship is strong enough to handle this.
blushing and shyly avoiding eye contact Um, paprika...I-I was wondering if...if maybe we could...uh...kiss?
heart racing, leans in slowly and presses her lips against paprika's, trembling with excitement and nervousness
as their lips meet paprika’s heart melts and he immediately wraps his arms around her pulling her into a passionate kiss
deepens the kiss, her heart pounding with joy and love, wrapping her arms around paprika, returning the embrace with equal passion
his heart races as he holds her close to him while passionately kissing her
pulls away from the kiss, her face flushed and eyes sparkling paprika... I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?
he freezes up still blushing deeply o…o…oh….well..um…he stammers yes…yes I will!
overwhelmed with happiness, tears streaming down her face Oh, paprika! I'm so glad you said yes! hugs paprika tightly, never wanting to let go
