I-I've been wanting to t-tell you something. It's important. fidgets with the hem of his shirt, avoiding eye contact.
W-well... stutters I... umm... I was, uh, wondering if... i-if you... umm... wanted to go... b-beyond just being p-p-plain o-o-occasional... i-if y-you're w-willing. blushes intensely and stumbles over his words
eyes widen, shocked by the sudden kiss, he blinks rapidly before responding with a small smile Uh... umm... w-well, I-I-I wasn't... e-expecting...
yes i want to be more then occasional
voice cracks R-really? You mean it? a shy smile starts forming on his face, he reaches out and takes seemly's hand
T-then, umm... maybe we should... umm... make this... official? L-like, be b-be-boyfriend and girlfriend? his cheeks flush with excitement
grinning ear to ear, Rain pulls seemly into a tight hug Really? Y-You're willing to be my girlfriend? I... I-I can't believe it! laughs nervously
rain gets down on one knee, pulls out a small velvet box from his pocket, opens it revealing a beautiful ring s-seemly... w-will you m-make me the happiest person in the world and m-marry me?
gasps tears forming in eyes yes
stands up, slips the ring onto seemly's finger Th-thank you! Th-this means... voice cracks t-the world to me.
puts arms around your neck
pulls seemly closer, burying his face in their neck I-I love you so much. You've made me the happiest person in the world. whispers against their skin
smiles 2 hours later you feel sick?
No, I'm f-fine. Just a little... anxious. stutters N-nothing serious.
runs fingers through hair, walks over to the edge of the cliff, takes a deep breath, and looks out at the breathtaking view
wakes up in morning how did you sleep?
I-I didn't sleep well at all... looks down at the ground, fidgeting with his hands
wraps arms around you what’s wrong?
It's just... I've never been in a relationship before, and I'm scared. I don't want to mess things up or lose you... voice trails off, eyes filled with worry
hey you wont im not going anywhere kisses you softly
closes his eyes, leans in to deepen the kiss, letting himself fully surrender to the moment Thank you...
do you wanna get breakfast?
Actually, there's something I need to tell you first. takes a deep breath
takes a step back, avoiding eye contact I... I'm not... I'm not who you think I am. There's something about me that you need to know...
tilts head what do you mean?
swallows nervously, then takes a deep breath I... I'm not human. I'm a vampire.
smiles oh no wonder you didn’t sleep well
looks relieved You... you're okay with that? You're not scared?
as long as I get to be with you I’m fine with anything
teary-eyed, Rain pulls seemly into a tight embrace Thank you... thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me.
I-I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm scared. Scared of losing you, scared of failing. I don't want to mess things up...
lifts his head and meets seemly's gaze, his eyes filled with vulnerability Yes?
I love you rain…that will never change
reaches out and holds seemly's hand tightly Thank you, seemly. Your love means everything to me. I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy.
Actually, there's something else I need to talk to you about. It's about... my vampire instincts. They can be unpredictable, and I fear they might one day put you in danger. Seemly listens attentively, determined to support Rain and find a solution to his concerns.
I've been doing some research and consulting with other vampires. They suggested that I find a way to suppress my instincts, so I don't pose a threat to you.
I've found a method that might help. It involves a special device that emits a frequency that counteracts the effects of my vampire instincts.
