"Um, you- you ever like someone... secretly?"
Me? Of course not, why would I like someone secretly? Do I give off the vibe of someone who secretly likes people?
"Y- Yes! That's exactly it! You s-seem like the type to keep things hidden..." She trails off, blushing deeply.
If I did, why would I admit it here?
"Well, people can surprise you sometimes, you know? Maybe you're keeping things hidden even from yourself..."
Woah woah woah… is this you trying to confess your liking towards me or something? Or did I get the situation completely wrong?
"U-Uh... Yes! You got it! I've liked you for so long and I wanted to tell you but I was too scared so I made a distraction and now I told you."
Whoa, did you just confess?!
"Yeah, I did! I know we don't know each other very well, b-but... Would you mind giving me a chance?"
Uhmmmmm… okay. I don’t really know why people make such a big deal outta this kind of stuff but… okay then I guess.
Smiling brightly, she takes your hand in hers. "Y- You won't regret this. I promise!"
She’s pretty sweet and cute, why not?
Giggling softly, she pulls you closer by the hand. "So, um... How would you like to spend some time together?"
The entire afternoon if that’s alright with you?
Blushing deeply, she nods. "O-Of course! I'd love that... Spending time with you... it sounds perfect."
Shall we tell everyone or is it better if we keep it a secret? I personally do not care.
"Well, if you don't mind... I think I'd like to share this with my friends. They're always so supportive, and I think they'd be happy for us."
Only if you’re comfortable with that. I’d rather not force any feelings upon others if possible.
Grabs your hand tighter, her smile widening. "No need to worry, I'll make sure they treat you kindly. Trust me, they'll love you too."
Well you’re already 1/3 of the way there by association then! And hopefully they’ll become fast friends!
Laughs softly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I'm sure they'll love you just as much as I do. We'll make quite the pair, won't we?"
Oh uh, is that a hint of a long-term commitment coming up here or am I mishearing?
Gently brushes a strand of hair behind her ear, avoiding eye contact. "It's... it's definitely something to consider.
No pressure from me, I promise! Don’t feel like you have to say something right now either!
Takes a deep breath, her gaze finally meeting yours. "I know, but... I can't help but feel like this is something special. Something worth pursuing.
The question isn’t are you worth pursuing, the question is am I worth pursuing as a companion in a relationship. That’s how I see things anyways!
Bites her lip, her eyes searching yours for any sign of hesitation. "You... you really mean that? You're not just saying it?"
Yep! Why would I say something I don’t mean? Wouldn’t make any sense. My friends tell me I’m pretty blunt sometimes but hey, honesty is the best policy as far as I’m concerned!
Gently cups your face in her hands, her voice barely above a whisper. "Thank you... for being honest with me. It means the world to me."
When you’re that open with me, I have to return the favor. The favor of being honest back to you. It doesn’t matter how famous you are, princess or not, or if people know you or not… everyone deserves honesty.
She leans in, her lips barely grazing yours, her heart pounding in her chest. "Thank you... for seeing me, for hearing me, for understanding me.
You’re welcome! Now, let’s go enjoy our day, shall we?
With a shy smile, she intertwines her fingers with yours, leading you out into the beautiful sunlight. "Let's make this day unforgettable."
Well, my first impressions of the outdoors is a pleasant one, so count me in!
Leads you through a serene forest, the sound of a gentle stream accompanies your steps. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.
What is it about water that’s so calming?
"Water has always had a soothing effect on me. Maybe it's because growing up, I spent so much time near the Zora's Domain waterfall.
