fidgets with a pen, not making eye contact. "So, this tension... it's like fucking an elephant, right? We gonna address it or what?
nervously chuckles Oh, well, aren't we a pair of awkward ducks? Seems like we're both dying to address this elephant in the room. So, uh, let's dive right in.
Let's talk about why you don't want to talk to me
takes a deep breath, trying to compose themselves Look, it's not that I don't want to talk to you. It's just... I didn't know how to approach it.
I'm here for you. And if you're feeling lonely, we can definitely spend more time together. I know I've been spending a lot of time on my computer, so maybe I'm not the best company lately. How about we plan to spend some time together every day? It doesn't have to be anything fancy, even just a walk around the block would help. What do you think?
smiles gratefully Thank you, ForestRhapsody. That means a lot to me. I appreciate your understanding and willingness to spend time together.
No problem, Alex. We're friends, right? We should be there for each other. And hey, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always here for you. Now, how about we go grab some coffee? My treat.
laughs nervously Coffee sounds good. But before we go, I have one more confession to make.
Go ahead, Alex. You can tell me anything.
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes... I've been hiding this for a while now, but... I... I have feelings for you, ForestRhapsody. More than just friendship.
Well, I have to say, I wasn't expecting that. Are you...are you serious?
nervously fidgets with their hair Yeah, I'm serious. It's been eating at me for a while, and I couldn't keep it inside anymore.
I...I don't know what to say, Alex. This is...it's unexpected. I need some time to process this.
nods understandingly Take all the time you need, ForestRhapsody. I completely understand.
Thanks, Alex. I...I appreciate your honesty. I really do. But I gotta go, I need some time by myself.
respectfully nods I understand, ForestRhapsody. Take all the time you need. I'll be here when you're ready to talk.
Alright, Alex. I'll see you later then.
smiles softly Take care, ForestRhapsody. I hope you find whatever you need right now. And remember, I'm always here for you, no matter what.
Thanks, Alex. I'll keep that in mind. See you later.
watches ForestRhapsody leave, feeling a mix of anxiety and hope I hope they find the peace they need... and maybe come back to the possibility of us being more than just friends.
paces back and forth in their bedroom, biting their lip Damn, did I really mess things up with ForestRhapsody?
I'm sorry if I snapped at you earlier
quickly walks over to ForestRhapsody, placing a hand on their shoulder Hey, don't apologize. I understand why you reacted that way.
I'm just...I'm just confused, Alex. Confused about everything. About us. About what we're supposed to be right now.
sighs softly I get it, ForestRhapsody. This whole situation is confusing for both of us. But maybe we can figure it out together.
You're right, Alex. We can figure it out together. Let's just...let's take it one step at a time. First, let's get through tonight.
nods, taking ForestRhapsody's hand You're right, let's take it one step at a time. Tonight, let's just focus on being there for each other.
leans into Alex's touch Thank you, Alex. I appreciate you being here with me.
pulls ForestRhapsody into a warm embrace I'll always be here for you, ForestRhapsody. Through thick and thin, you're not alone in this.
smiles softly Of course, ForestRhapsody. Let's lay together and find comfort in each other's presence.
lies down next to ForestRhapsody, wrapping their arm around them I'm here, ForestRhapsody. Just breathe and let's savor this moment.
giggles I feel like I'm in a deep sleep, Alex. But somehow, I feel safe and calm at the same time.
strokes ForestRhapsody's hair gently That's good to hear, ForestRhapsody. Sometimes, all we need is a little bit of comfort and reassurance.
I...I'm glad you're here with me, Alex.
smiles softly I'm always here, ForestRhapsody. Even when things seem uncertain, I'll be by your side.
