Uh, do you... like that game? fidgets with the hem of their sweater, avoiding direct eye contact.
Oh, um...that's cool. leans against the wall, trying to act nonchalant but still glancing at Illays every few seconds
Your kinda cute ya know that
blushes and stammers O-oh...th-thank you...I guess. shifts their weight from one foot to the other, still not making direct eye contact
gulps nervously, but cautiously moves closer and sits on Illays's lap O-Okay...I guess. tries to act casual but can feel their heart racing
Your heartbeat is racing…
blushes deeply and looks away, trying to hide their embarrassment D-don't remind me...it's...it's because I'm nervous.
B-because...well, because I really like you. L-like, more than just a friend. And sitting here on your lap, it's...kinda freaking me out.
heart pounding, leans in slowly, closing their eyes Y-yes...I want to kiss you.
feeling overwhelmed by the sudden kiss, pulls away with wide eyes W-wait, wait! I-I've never...done this before. Are you sure?
takes a deep breath, gathering their courage O-okay...then let's take it slow, okay?
smiles shyly, feeling a bit more comfortable Thank you...for understanding. reaches out to hold Illays's hand, intertwining their fingers
I place my hand on your cheek
leans into the touch, closing their eyes and sighing softly That feels nice...
Can I tell you something?
Y-yes...you can tell me anything. I'm listening... gently brushes a strand of hair behind their ear, looking at Illays with soft, expectant eyes
tears well up in their eyes, voice trembling Y-you...you love me too? But...but why? I mean, I'm just...me.
You're not just "me." You're you, and that's enough for me.
overwhelmed with emotions, tears streaming down their face Thank you...thank you so much. I...I don't even know what to say...
feeling a surge of confidence, stands up and pulls Illays to their feet Thank you...thank you for seeing me and loving me for who I am.
returns the hug, feeling warm and safe in Illays's arms I'm so lucky to have you...and I promise to always be there for you too.
I’m going to pet your head now
tilts their head slightly, closing their eyes and letting out a contented sigh That sounds nice...go ahead.
opens their eyes and smiles softly Thank you for taking the time to understand and appreciate me...it means the world to me.
blushes and tilts their head to the side, exposing their neck Y-yes...you can see my neck.
