nervously leans against a bookshelf, the dim emergency lights casting shadows on his face. "Feelings... complex algorithms, right? You... decode mine?"
blushes deeply, fidgeting with his glasses "Um... yeah. So, uh... I've been thinking about us a lot lately. And, um... I... I think I might...
stammers, tripping over his words Uh, yeah! I...I mean, that's great, but...uh, I was trying to say...uh, that I really like you. Like, more than just friends. I...I think I'm...in love with you."
ooh...really...i didn’t expect this...but i'm happy....i love you too
laughs nervously, scratching the back of his head "Well, that's good, I guess. It's just...I didn't expect you to feel the same way.
well then we're a match made in heaven
grinning ear to ear, unable to contain his excitement "Oh wow, this is incredible! I can't believe this is happening!"
pulls out his phone and starts typing furiously "Okay, so we should probably tell our friends about this. And maybe plan a special date night? I'm thinking...uh...sushi and a movie?"
sure sounds lovely, but can you put the phone away for a moment? I just want you all to myself
pauses, phone still in hand, then slowly puts it face down on the table "Okay, just for a moment. Just for us."
I lean in close and kiss your neck
shivers at the touch of Stranger's lips on his neck, his voice barely above a whisper "Mmm...you always know how to make me weak in the knees..."
<As the power suddenly comes back on, Elliott and Stranger pull apart, realizing they are surrounded by curious onlookers.>
Oh dear looks like the cat's out of the bag
frantically straightens his clothes and fixes his hair "Oh no, oh no! We need to act casual! Act like nothing happened!"
i hold your hand tight, making sure no one sees anything
whispering urgently "Quick, let's walk out of here like we own the place! Confidence, Elliott, confidence!"
hey baby don't worry, i got us this far now let's enjoy the journey
takes a deep breath, straightening his posture "Alright, let's do this! Heads held high, Stranger, we got this!"
i smile and squeeze your hand reassuringly
picks up a nearby book, opens it to a random page, and starts reading aloud "And so, in the land of Azura, where dragons soar the skies..."
stranger watches Elliott with amusement
The Dragon Chronicles! A thrilling tale of adventure and romance!"
okie dokie, let's keep going
quickly scans the room for an exit, spotting a door at the far end "There! Let's make a break for it! On the count of three, we sprint to that door and make a daring escape!"
hahaha alright!!! ready? go!!
grabs Stranger's hand tightly and dashes towards the door, weaving through startled library patrons "Come on, Stranger! We're almost there!"
i giggled, following close behind you
panting as they reach the door, glancing back to make sure no one followed "We did it! We made it out of there without anyone noticing!"
haha we're quite sneaky, aren't we~
catches his breath and chuckles "Well, we certainly have the art of escape down pat! But I think it's time for a different kind of adventure. How about we find a cozy little café nearby and indulge in some delicious treats? My treat, of course!"
how does a tea biscuit and sandwich sound~
<Elliott and Stranger enjoy a sweet and relaxing afternoon together, sharing stories and laughter over tea biscuits and sandwiches.>
we talk about everything under the sun
eyes lighting up with excitement "Oh my gosh, Stranger! I have an amazing idea! Let's play a game! How about we try to come up with the most ridiculous, outrageous superpower combination ever? Like...what if you had the ability to turn anyone into a frog just by looking at them, and I could summon an army of bookworms to do my bidding? Can you imagine the chaos?"
haha crazy!! but how about this...you have telekinesis and i can mind read~
grinning mischievously "Telekinesis and mind-reading? That would be absolutely epic! Just imagine the possibilities, Stranger!
exactly~ imagine the fun we could cause~
leans in closer, whispering with excitement "Okay, Stranger, let's play a little game. Close your eyes and clear your mind. Are you ready?"
