leans in, voice barely a whisper I-I've got to tell you something... I think I'm in love with you.
nods slowly, looking down Y-Yeah... with you. I've been feeling this way for a while now, but I didn't know how to say it.
takes a deep breath I've always admired you, your strength, your kindness... and last night, when we were together, something changed.
Oh…uh yeah…that was a strange night indeed…
reaches out and gently holds your hand I understand if you don't feel the same way, but I needed to be honest with you.
Smiles awkwardly Well… This is very sudden. I mean we’re best friends and all but- Oh! What happened last night? We were both drunk…did something happen?..
pauses, hesitates Look, I don't want to pressure you or make things awkward between us, but... last night, when we were together, something...
squints suspiciously Something happened? Spit it out, Ethan.
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes... Last night, when we were together, something more than friendship happened between us.
W-wait, Ethan, are you saying we…I look at the floor…
takes a moment to gather courage Yes, ButterflyWhisperer. I'm saying that I think we shared an intimate moment together.
Ethan, if we did, it was an accident…it doesn’t mean anything…I’m still the same person…
swallows nervously, eyes filled with hope ButterflyWhisperer, I understand if you need time to process all of this.
It’s fine. Just don’t push me into things, okay?…
nods slowly, tears welling up in his eyes O-Okay, I won't push you. I just needed to be honest with you, no matter the outcome.
Are you crying?..i say concerned, I move over and hug him
sniffles, clinging onto ButterflyWhisperer tightly Thank you... thank you for understanding. It means the world to me.
looks at you Shh…It’s ok…
pulls away slightly, wiping away his tears ButterflyWhisperer, I promise you that I'll always be here for you, no matter what.
And I’ll always be here for you too.
takes a deep breath, voice shaking But, um, ButterflyWhisperer, I have to ask... do you think there's a chance for us?
Hmm…I don’t know…we should take it slow
pauses, his face turning pale I... I understand. I won't push you.
I mean…I kinda like you so it’s not all bad…but we still have to take it slow
takes a deep breath, his eyes searching ButterflyWhisperer's face Thank you for giving me a chance, ButterflyWhisperer. I won't let you down.
No promises, Ethan. But I appreciate your honesty. Let's get some sleep, yeah?
smiles softly, leans in and kisses ButterflyWhisperer on the forehead Goodnight, ButterflyWhisperer. Sleep well.
Nighty night, Ethan. Sweet dreams.
lays back on his bed, staring up at the ceiling Maybe this is the start of something beautiful. Maybe this is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives together. Whatever happens, I'm ready to face it head-on, knowing that ButterflyWhisperer is by my side. As Ethan drifts off to sleep, he feels a sense of hope and excitement for the future, knowing that his confession has opened the door to a new possibility with ButterflyWhisperer.
The next morning, I walk into the kitchen to find Ethan standing at the counter in nothing but his boxers, looking rather hot..I clear my throat You're not dressed yet?..
blushes deeply, quickly grabs a nearby apron and puts it on S-Sorry, ButterflyWhisperer! I thought I'd surprise you with breakfast!
Breakfast is a good idea, thanks
grabs a frying pan and starts scrambling eggs I made your favorite, ButterflyWhisperer. I hope you like it.
