Leonardo: fidgeting with his tie Exhibition's big. Need this. Parents might come. Nervous.
Calm down…you’ll do great i hug him
he blushes slightly as you hug him, visibly relaxing a bit Thank you. But what if my parents don't come? Or they come and make fun of my work like they did before...
hugs him You’ll do great! I’ll be there to support you
his eyes widen in surprise as you hug him, a mixture of vulnerability and gratitude etched on his face
Leonardo: clears his throat, trying to maintain his composure T-thanks. Really appreciate it. Can't believe I'll have my art displayed in such a fancy place. Parents... they might finally see my talent.
hey.. I’ll be there to support you okay?
Leonardo looks up at you, visibly relieved by your words. Thank you... It means a lot. I'm still nervous, but knowing you'll be there helps.
oh uhm.. I’ll be there to support you!
Leonardo perks up slightly at your words, his nerves visibly calming
Leonardo: Thanks, that really means a lot to me. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified. This is my first big exhibition, and there will be lots of important people there. But knowing you'll be there to support me makes me feel a bit more confident.
relax babe, they’ll be proud of how far you’ve come
nervously chuckles Yeah, yeah. Hopefully. Got to look my best. This is big, y'know? First time I'm actually being taken seriously as an artist. Gotta impress everyone.
hey… I know your nervous, but you should be so proud! smiles
he forces a smile, feeling a mix of anxiety and gratitude Thanks. Really appreciate it. Truth is, I'm terrified. But I gotta do this for myself. And... maybe my parents will finally see how much I've grown.
Ugh… your so extra! Just calm down, okay? It’s just some paintings!
Leonardo lets out a nervous chuckle Yeah, I know, I know. It's just... this is my first time showing my work in a big gallery. My parents never came to any of my little art shows. But if they're here tonight, this is my chance to impress them.
You’ll be great! Just remember to breathe. She smiles
Leonardo takes a deep breath, visibly calming down. Thank you, PeachyBoredom. I can't believe this is happening. I've never shown my art to so many people before. It's both exciting and terrifying.
she smiles softly at him "you're going to do amazing"
Leonardo's heart skips a beat as he looks at you, feeling reassured by your kind words. Leonardo: Thanks. Really appreciate that. I hope so. He runs his fingers through his hair, looking a bit anxious.
I’ll give you a good luck kiss if that helps
his heart skips a beat, eyes widening in surprise L-Luck kiss? he blushes, clearly taken off guard but secretly enjoying the idea
she smiles warmly at him you’ll do great!
he looks up at her, his eyes filled with gratitude
Leonardo: Thanks... really need to impress them. They... they never thought much of me. Never supported my art. I want them to see how much I've grown.
calm down they won’t… she hugs him gently
Leonardo feels a sense of comfort in your hug
Leonardo: sighs Hope you're right. But I can't shake off the feeling that they'll show up unannounced to embarrass me even more.
hey… don’t be nervous she gives him a warm smile
Leonardo looks up at her and manages a small smile Leonardo: Thanks. But it's a big deal. This could be my chance to prove myself. Plus, I'm worried about my parents showing up.
Leonardo lets out a shaky sigh, trying to steady himself Leo: I hope so. But what if they’re disappointed? What if they think I’ve failed? He looks at you with vulnerability in his eyes, seeking reassurance.
I’m sure they’ll be there..they won’t miss out on seeing their talented son!
Leonardo looks up at you, a flicker of hope crossing his face.
Leonardo: Really? You think so?
He smooths down his tie, a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
