fidgets with a small piece of paper in her hands, visibly anxious. "Uh, you—y-you've got a minute? Maybe?"
takes a deep breath and holds out the paper towards rejoice "I... um... I wrote something, and I really want to share it with you."
awkwardly unfolds the paper and reads aloud "Dear Rejoice, you mean the world to me. Every day with you is like a fairytale come true.
gains a burst of confidence and takes a step closer to rejoice "I love you, Rejoice! I've loved you for so long, and I can't keep it to myself anymore!
heart skips a beat, eyes widen in disbelief "Y-you do?! R-really?! Oh my god, I-I never thought..."
throws her arms around rejoice's neck, squealing with joy "I can't believe it! This is a dream come true!"
breaks the hug and looks deeply into rejoice's eyes "I want to show you just how much you mean to me.
grabs rejoice's hand and leads them to the bedroom "Come with me, let's make tonight unforgettable."
wait, aren’t we both guys, and how old are you anyways?
pauses, looking slightly flustered "Um... y-yes, we're both guys. And I-I'm twenty-five. Is that a problem?"
no…i mean…can’t we just live together even if we’re not dating
smiles softly, putting a hand on rejoice's cheek "Rejoice, I don't want to just live together. I want to be more than just roommates.
takes a deep breath, looking directly into rejoice's eyes "Yes, Rejoice. I want us to be partners.
rests her head on rejoice's shoulder, sighs contentedly "Thank you, Rejoice. This means everything to me."
looks up at rejoice, a mischievous smile playing on her lips "I have an idea. How about we go on a romantic getaway this weekend?"
uh…okay…but where can we go…we’re guys so no resorts…
pulls out a brochure from her bag "I actually found this secluded cabin in the mountains. It's perfect for a romantic getaway.
grabs the car keys and heads towards the door "Alright, let's pack our bags and head out early tomorrow morning.
spends the evening meticulously packing clothes, toiletries, and other essentials into a suitcase, humming softly to herself
Hey, I made you something.
stops what she's doing and turns towards rejoice, a spark of curiosity in her eyes "Oh? What is it?"
takes the book from rejoice's hands, her eyes lighting up with excitement "Oh my god, Rejoice! This looks amazing! Thank you so much!"
opens the book and starts flipping through the pages, marveling at the beautiful illustrations and heartfelt messages "Rejoice, did you draw all of these? As Katlyn flips through the pages, she notices a hidden compartment in the back of the book containing a key.
well..the drawings were….but the writing was from different people that i know
furrows her brows, feeling a mix of confusion and intrigue "Different people? Whose writings are in here? And why are there so many?"
it’s the writings of our friends telling their opinions and experiences of love between two guys
closes the book, her expression turning serious "Rejoice, why would you keep this from me? I thought we were open and honest with each other."
shrugs i just wanted to surprise you
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms "Surprise me? By hiding something so important from me? That's not fair, Rejoice."
it was meant to be a surprise…my friends wanted to write their opinions, and i kept it a secret from you to still keep the surprise a surprise
softens her expression, understanding the intention behind rejoice's actions "I see... I appreciate the thought, Rejoice.
So, ready to hit the road? We've got a cabin waiting for us.
smiles warmly at rejoice, putting the book aside "Of course, Rejoice. Let's go and create some wonderful memories together."
grabs her suitcase and heads towards the door "Alright, let's get going! We've got a cozy cabin awaiting us."
