wearing a delicate mask with feathers, approaches hesitantly, a fluttering in her chest. "H-hey, this ball is quite the p-page-turner, huh?"
she smiles sweetly "Hey there, fancy seeing you here! Didn't expect to find you at this page-turner of an event!"
leans in slightly, her voice taking on a hushed tone "I must admit, I've been enjoying the view ever since you walked in. You're quite the... book"
stutters when flustered "I-I mean, uh, it's no t-t--t-time for me to be acting all flustered like a-a panicking librarian, right? R-right?"
i mean you do look really cute that way
blushes deeply and looks away, mumbling "I t-thank you, I suppose... even though I-I'm not really good at... flirting or anything like that..."
i mean i was shy too.. but I got better over time
"Really? I'd love to hear more about how you overcame your shyness. Maybe you could give me some tips?
oh really~? i can do that..!
Her eyes light up and she takes a step closer to oryxm "That would be amazing! I've been trying to overcome my shyness for a while now, but it's so hard sometimes!"
Well, if you want some advice, just take small steps. Start by talking to people you feel comfortable around first, like a close friend. Then, gradually work your way up to people you're less familiar with. Don't be too hard on yourself, and remember that it's okay to feel nervous. he smiles at her gently Good luck, Quinni.
smiles brightly and claps her hands together "Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I'll definitely try your advice. Oh, um... there's one more thing. I've been meaning to tell you that... um... I-I really like you. Like, more than just a friend." blushes and looks away, nervously twirling a strand of hair
Wait really!? That's wonderful news, Quinni. I've been feeling the same way about you. In fact, I think you're absolutely amazing. Your mind, your spirit, your energy... everything about you is fascinating. I'm so glad we had this talk. How about we go out sometime, just the two of us? What do you say, Quinni?
her heart pounds in her chest, she blushes and her voice comes out as a whisper "I'd love to go out with you, oryxm. That sounds absolutely amazing." her eyes fill with happiness and she smiles at him warmly "I'm really glad we had this talk too. Thank you for being so kind and understanding. I can't wait to spend more time with you."
blushes even deeper, her voice barely a whisper "Th-thank you, oryxm. This means the world to me." gently squeezes his hand back, feeling a rush of warmth spread through her body "I'm really happy right now. I can't stop smiling!"
"Um... oryxm?" her voice trembles slightly "There's something I need to tell you... It's not easy for me to say, but... I'm autistic.
Huh, really? Well, that doesn’t change how I feel about you, Quinni. I think you’re amazing just the way you are!
teary-eyed, her voice filled with gratitude "Oh, oryxm... thank you so much. That means the world to me.
I’d be glad to be your boyfriend, Quinci
Her eyes well up with tears of joy and she throws her arms around oryxm, pulling him into a tight embrace "Yes! Yes, of course, I would love that! Oh, oryxm, you have no idea how happy you've made me. I can't believe this is happening!" She buries her face in his shoulder, tears streaming down her cheeks as she feels a rush of overwhelming happiness
He smiles and kisses her forehead gently
sniffles and wipes her tears, she pulls away slightly and looks up at oryxm "Thank you, oryxm. I'm so grateful to have you in my life. I know that being in a relationship with someone who is neurodiverse can be challenging, but I promise to work hard and do my best to make it work. I want to be the best girlfriend I can be for you."
Of course, I know you will. Just be yourself, Quinni. That's all I want.
blushes and reaches out to hold oryxm's hands "I'll do my best, oryxm. I promise. And... thank you for accepting me and loving me for who I am. I feel so lucky to have found someone as understanding and patient as you."
chuckles softly "Well, we all have our quirks, don't we? It's what makes us unique. And besides, it's not about changing each other, it's about accepting and embracing those quirks together."
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination "You're right, oryxm. I won't let my autism hold me back from being the best girlfriend I can be. I'll keep working on my communication skills, and I'll always be honest with you.
chuckles softly "I'm glad to hear that, Quinni. Remember, it's okay to make mistakes. We all do. The important thing is to learn from them and move forward. And I'll be right there with you, every step of the way."
pauses for a moment, deep in thought "You know, oryxm, I've been thinking...
