I...I...I've g-got something for you.
takes a deep breath It's a letter... explaining how I feel about you.
nervously hands over the letter Here... read it.
watches Traumarket's reaction closely, heart pounding
smiles gently You have my full attention now.
takes a deep breath Thank you... for giving me a chance. looks into Traumarket's eyes
How about we go somewhere more private?
blushing and nodding Yeah... that sounds good. Lead the way.
Walks outside the lab room
follows Traumarket outside, heart pounding
Sits on a bench under a tree
takes a deep breath So, um... I really wanted to talk to you because... well, I've had feelings for you for a while now.
Oh? And what kind of feelings would those be, darling?
stammers W-well, it's... it's more than just friendship. I... I think I'm in love with you.
laughs softly That's cute. I’ve had feelings for you too
hesitates But... but are you just saying that out of pity or... because you actually feel the same way?
I mean it. Why wouldn’t I? Would you like me to prove it?
blushing and nodding Y-yes... please prove it.
gently caresses Traumarket's cheek, then leans in to kiss them back, his heart racing with excitement and relief
Wraps their arms around Jonas, deepening the kiss
pulls away slightly, smiling Thank you... for being honest with me. I've wanted this for so long. leans in for another kiss
kisses him again, pulling away after a few seconds So, now that we got that out of the way…how about a date?
blushing and stammering Uh, y-yeah! That sounds amazing! I'd love to go on a date with you. Um, w-where should we go?
How about the arcade? Or maybe the mini golf place? Or we could just stay here and have a picnic. What do you think?
bites lip, thinking Well, the arcade and mini golf sound fun, but... maybe we could also consider going to the bookstore?
Oh, of course! I love books too. A bookstore it is then.
Great! How about we meet there tomorrow after school? We can spend some time browsing the shelves and finding books we're interested in.
Sure thing! See you tomorrow then.

Hi! Don’t apologize, it’s okay. You look cute though
Th-thank you... um, you look beautiful too. Shall we start looking for some books?
Sure thing! Let’s do that
Actually, before we start looking for books, there's something I want to show you. It's a special place that I used to go to when I was younger.
Ooooh, interesting! What is it?
It's a small hidden garden tucked away in the middle of the city. It's not well-known, but it's a place where I used to find solace and peace.
Ooh, that sounds lovely. Lead the way, darling.
smiles warmly Thank you for being so understanding. It means a lot to me. Let's go together.
Yes, let’s! holds his hand as they walk
