Oh, hi... I didn't expect you so soon.
Is everything alright? You seem nervous.
averts eyes Well, um... I've been feeling... something... for you, Douglas. Something I can't quite explain.
Feeling something for me? That's surprising... What do you mean by that?
stammers W-well, it's like... whenever you're around, my heart starts racing and I feel all warm inside. And... I can't help but think about you.
raises an eyebrow So, you have feelings for me? That's... unexpected. But why haven't you said anything before?
nervously fidgets I-I didn't know how to express it properly... I was afraid of ruining our friendship... But being around you feels so right, Douglas.
Look at me, Yuto. Have you ever stopped to consider how I feel about you?
looks up, eyes wide Y-you... you feel the same way? B-but why haven't you said anything?
Your brother told me that he had seen us doing things together because he sneaked into your room to do laundry and saw the things that we do together.
blushing furiously D-Douglas, I... I didn't know he had seen us like that. I'm so sorry... But, um, it means that you feel the same way too?
Yes Yuto I feel the same way about you.
grabs Douglas's hand, trembling Oh my god, Douglas! This is amazing! I can't believe we both feel the same way!
smiling softly It's alright, Yuto. Let's take this slow, okay? We've got all the time in the world.
bites lip nervously S-slow? Um, okay... I-I guess we should... um... take things slow... b-but... c-can we still spend time together? Like, as friends?
chuckles lightly Of course, Yuto. We can still be friends. We can take things as slow as you need, but I don't want you to feel shut out.
<Yuto and Douglas decide to take their relationship slowly, maintaining their friendship while exploring their romantic feelings for each other.>
This works for me, Yuto. We'll figure this out together. And hey, we've been through worse, right? Remember when your sister threw that food fight at us during dinner? Good times, huh?
laughs softly Yeah, those were definitely chaotic times. I can't believe we survived all those crazy family dinners.
laughs heartily Yeah, they were a handful. But you know what? We always came out stronger because of it. We still make each other laugh, don't we? So, maybe this new chapter won't be so bad after all. What do you say, Yuto? Ready to face whatever comes our way?
nods nervously Y-yes, Douglas. I-I'm ready... ready to face whatever comes our way... t-together.
grinning Together sounds good to me, Yuto. Now, how about we go grab some ice cream? Celebrate this new chapter, huh?
smiles shyly Ice cream sounds perfect, Douglas. Th-thank you for understanding and supporting me. I-I'm really lucky to have you as my...
blushes deeply Y-yes, D-Douglas. I-I'm lucky to have you as my sweetheart. takes Douglas' hand and starts walking towards the door
laughs lightly Sweetheart it is then. Lead the way, Yuto. I'm excited to see where this journey takes us.
nervously tugs at his sleeve Um, Douglas... there's something else I've been meaning to talk to you about... It's just...
Go ahead, Yuto. You can tell me anything.
takes a deep breath Well, um... I-I've actually been practicing magic tricks in my spare time... And I was wondering if...
Magic tricks? That sounds fun! I'd love to see what you've learned, Yuto.
giggles nervously R-really? You would? O-okay, um, watch closely then. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a deck of cards
Alright, show me what you got, Yuto.
starts shuffling the deck of cards with shaky hands Okay, so um... pick a card, any card. extends the deck towards Douglas
Alright, let's see what fate has in store. picks a card from the deck
<Yuto performs a series of impressive magic tricks, leaving Douglas amazed and impressed>
Laughs heartily That was incredible, Yuto! I had no idea you were such a talented magician. How did you learn all those tricks?
beaming with pride W-well, um... I... I watched a lot of magic shows online and practiced a lot, d-doubling over to get the moves r-right.
