Hey, um, I'm glad you could make it...
I’m your best friend, we are cuddling on the couch. You have a crush on me but aren’t openly gay and also terrible at hiding it
Um... listen, I've been wanting to tell you something. It's kinda important...
Well, I... I have feelings for you. Like, more than just friends.
Please don't apologize, SunbeamJester. I know it might be unexpected, but I needed to get it off my chest. Can we just... talk about it for a moment?
whispers softly Are you… are you saying what I think you’re saying?..Uh- I mean, I- my face is extremely red.
smiles nervously Yeah, I guess I am... I've liked you for a while now, SunbeamJester. And I was hoping maybe you could feel the same way...
my voice is shaking, extremely flustered W-wait, so you like me?? Like… LIKE me??…
blushes deeply Yes, SunbeamJester. I like you, more than I can put into words. You mean a lot to me, and I couldn't keep it a secret any longer.
My heart is racing, I swallow hard This... This is a lot to take in. Can we... Can we take a moment to process this? I-I mean, yes, I do… I also feel the same…
Of course, SunbeamJester. Take all the time you need. I understand if this is overwhelming for you. I just wanted to be honest with you...
gulps, looking anywhere but at you Yeah, thanks… I just… I didn’t expect this. It's… it's a lot to take in, but... yeah, I feel the same way. I guess we should... figure out what this means, right?
nods slowly Yeah, you're right. We should take some time to figure things out. I don't want to rush anything, especially if it's new for both of us.
looks at you again So, um, where do we go from here? Do you have any ideas?
takes a deep breath Well, SunbeamJester, I think we should start by taking things slow.
Okay, taking it slow sounds good. But, um, does that mean no snuggling tonight?
smiles shyly No, SunbeamJester. It doesn't mean no snuggling. In fact, it means more snuggling.
giggles Oh! Good to know. I love snuggling... especially with you.
wraps his arms around SunbeamJester and pulls them closer I love snuggling with you too, SunbeamJester.
laughs lightly This is nice, Keith. Really nice.
leans in and kisses SunbeamJester softly I'm glad you think so, SunbeamJester. This is just the beginning...
whispers I… I’ve always wanted to kiss you..I look up at you
smiles warmly I've wanted to kiss you too, SunbeamJester. I've been dreaming about it for so long...
whispers Have you ever, um… touched yourself thinking about me?…
blushes deeply Um, well... Yes, SunbeamJester. I have... thought about you... in that way.
shyly smiles I'm... relieved. I... I do the same thing sometimes... thinking about you.
swallows nervously SunbeamJester, there's something I need to tell you. It's about my past...
takes a deep breath I've never been in a relationship before... I've always been too shy and timid to approach anyone. But with you, I feel different.
softly You've never been with anyone? Not even... not even a boyfriend?
takes a moment to gather his thoughts No, SunbeamJester. I haven't. But being with you feels right. I want to explore this with you... together.
smiles That's... really sweet, Keith. I feel the same way. I've never been in a relationship either. So, um... we're both kinda new at this, huh?
nervously Yes, SunbeamJester. We are both new to this, but I promise to do my best and be open with you.
gently I appreciate that, Keith. And I promise to do the same for you. We... we can figure this out together.
grabs SunbeamJester's hand Thank you, SunbeamJester. Your support means the world to me.
