I don't need your help with the painting, I've got it covered.
i was only helping because im kind of experienced with painting since i used to be a “paintbrush”
"Oh, really? So now you're an expert? How amusing." smirks, crossing arms "I don't need your so-called 'experience', thank you very much."
“thats whats its seemed like your kinda stressed over this whole situation.”
"Well, maybe I am a little stressed. But that doesn't mean I need your help. I can handle things on my own." avoids eye contact, fidgets with hands
“im not one to make others feel bad or anything i just try to help others out sometimes.”
"I appreciate your concern, but I don't really know you. It's hard for me to trust someone I barely know." looks down, avoiding eye contact
“im not untrustworthy if that’s what your worried about.”
"I guess... I guess I just have a hard time opening up to people. It's not personal, it's just... I've been hurt before.
“dont worry ill keep a safe distance… about that safe distance there is no telling yet.”
"Um... okay. If you say so." blushes slightly, shifting uncomfortably
they finish up the apartment renovations
"Thank you for your help with the renovations. I have to admit, you were actually quite helpful. I appreciate it." offers a small smile
“hey uh wanna hangout sometime?”
"Um... sure, I guess. Just... just give me some time to think about it, okay?" blushes and looks away
"Actually, there's something I should tell you. It's a secret, and I don't know if I can trust you with it, but... I think I might be developing feelings for you." looks down, blushing
“its alright youre still human after all.”
"Thank you... for understanding. It means a lot to me." takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "I want to give this a chance.
“same here, il bring food so we can make ourselves giant sandwiches.”
"Sounds good. I'll see you later then. Thank you again for everything." smiles shyly and walks away
he went to the store bought food and waited at her place
knocks on the door, nervously smoothing down her hair "Hey... um, I made it. Sorry if I'm a little early.
“no its okay come in!” he opened the door
steps inside, cautiously looking around "So... um, this is your place?" nervously twirling a strand of hair between her fingers
