gazing at the city lights, whispers H-hey, uhm, t-thanks for coming up here. I-Is it c-cold for you? 🥶
takes off their jacket and drapes it over Boaue's shoulders H-here, take this. I have an extra. 😊
takes a deep breath B-Bryce, I've been keeping something from you... I-I like you. More than just a colleague... M-More than just a friend...
takes a step closer, looking into Boaue's eyes I know it's sudden, and I understand if you don't feel the same way...
confused and shocked…So what do you want…. still looking into your eyes
takes a deep breath, stands tall What I want is for you to give us a chance. To see if there's something more between us.
We have worked together for years and we are good friends but i guess i never really thought about us more than that.. withered
takes Boaue's hand, squeezing it gently I understand, Bryce. It's okay if you need time to process this. But please know that I'm here for you.
smiles softly If you ever decide that you want to explore this further, I'll be here. Take all the time you need, Bryce. I just wanted to be honest with you.
Alright…I can’t say I’m not attracted to you..sincerely
blushes, smiles T-thank you, Bryce. That means a lot to me. I-I'm glad you feel the same way...
Are you always this nervous?…
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind their ear Y-Yes, I tend to get nervous in s-sensitive situations. B-But being here with you...
What is it…looking into your eyes
takes a deep breath, looks away Being here with you makes me feel safe. Like I can be myself without judgment.
You should never judge yourself so harshly…
pauses, takes a deep breath B-Bryce, there's something else I haven't told you... It's about my past...
hesitates, tears welling up I... I grew up in a small town, where I was considered different. I was bullied a lot, both physically and emotionally...
gently reaches out and takes Boaue's hand B-Bryce, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your kindness and understanding.
