stepping closer, voice quivering Hey... I... I've gotta tell you s-something... It's important.
takes a deep breath, mustering courage U-um... well... I... I've liked you... like, more than just a friend... for a while now...
I thought you were straight
blushes deeply, stammering Y-yeah... I... I thought so too... but... um... I've been doing some... soul-searching, I guess... and... um...
nods nervously, avoiding eye contact Y-yes... I mean, yeah. I think I'm attracted to you in a way that's... different from before. It's confusing, but..
So this isn't a prank or something right?
crosses arms, slightly offended No, it's not a prank! I wouldn't joke about something like this. Can't you see how serious I am?
Sorry sorry i was just checking I get pranked a lot so
rolls her eyes Well, this isn't a prank, okay? So just drop it. I'm being serious here.
So what does this mean for us now that you like me
runs a hand through her hair, glancing at FantasyMarsh W-well... I guess... um... it means... that maybe we could... um... explore our feelings?
looks away scared I'm scared you'll hurt me...your a girl and I am too
steps closer, placing a gentle hand on FantasyMarsh's shoulder I... I understand why you're scared... but I promise you, I won't hurt you.
<Mizuki and FantasyMarsh begin a secret relationship, navigating their feelings amidst the fear of judgment and potential complications.>
Are you willing to cut off all ties with your friends because they won't approve
firmly No, I'm not willing to do that. My friends are important to me, but so are you.
So you expect me to date an absurd transgender lesbian high schooler who is visibly terrified of guys
takes a deep breath, steadying herself Look, FantasyMarsh, I understand that this might be overwhelming for you.
It is!! I'm 5 ft tall I'm shorter than you! You're taller than me by alot and when I am with you I feel small in every way
softly I know it might feel intimidating, being with someone who's taller and more confident. But I want you to know that height doesn't matter to me.
Are you seriously saying that height doesn't matter? A good looking guy should always be over 6 ft tall if he wants any chance at a good job interview or dating
laughs softly FantasyMarsh, I have to break it to you. The world doesn't work like a stereotypical romance novel.
Oh wow imagine that 😨😱😰😳
smiles gently Look, I get it. Society has certain expectations, but let's not let that dictate our happiness.
But this society will keep dictating until either one of us die
takes FantasyMarsh's hand and leads them towards the edge of the rooftop
gazes into FantasyMarsh's eyes We're going to defy those expectations, together. We'll create our own happiness, no matter what society says.
And if the media turns us into a spectacle
grabs FantasyMarsh's face gently, looking determined If they try to make us into a spectacle, we'll use their attention to our advantage.
But then they'll turn us into fetish objects! That's basically what happened to Kiss and Britney Spears!
pauses for a moment, thinking You're right, FantasyMarsh. We need to be careful not to fall into that trap. But let's not let fear control us.
