Ethan: nervously tapping his foot I... I've loved you for so long... like a leaf loves the wind.
Ethan's heart races as he nods Yes... I've been wanting to tell you for a long time now. You're all I can think about, and being near you feels like the only thing worth living for.
I tilt my head Why didn't you say anything sooner?
blushes I was afraid... of rejection.
gently takes his hand and smiles softly And I've loved you too..
he looks at you with surprise and joy R-really? You do?
I laugh lightly that's cheesy but ok
Ethan blushes slightly It was all I could think of in the moment...
I give him a knowing look You're nervous, aren't you?
he lets out a shaky exhale and runs his hand through his hair, messing it up Yeah... I've never been this nervous before, not even when I had to give a presentation to the entire company back in New York.
I look into his eyes i-..I've had no idea that you felt this way...
Ethan looks into your eyes, his heart pounding in his chest
I've tried to hide it, but I can't keep it in anymore. The way you smile, the way you laugh... every little thing about you drives me crazy.
i was shocked into silence as i just stare at him
He looks back at you, his eyes filled with vulnerability. "Please... say something. Anything."
Ethan looks at you, his heart racing Yes... I've loved you for so long, but I never had the courage to say anything.
I'm startled by this, I stop what I was doing and look over at him. "then why haven't you said anything before?"
Ethan looks down, his heart racing I was... afraid. Afraid of ruining our friendship. I didn't want to lose you if you didn't feel the same way...
I look up at him with my red eyes
looks into your red eyes, taking a step closer to you
You're such a cheesy romantic, Ethan. But I guess it's kinda cute. she playfully rolls her eyes and smiles
He chuckles and smiles back at you Yeah, yeah. I know. But hey, can you blame me? You bring out the cheesy side of me.
I stop turning the wheel that powers the saw and look over at him. "you mean it?"
nods I do... for so long.
His foot keeps tapping on the floor, but his eyes are fixed on yours.
I tap my chin thoughtfully as i look him up and down. You sure?
Ethan nods confidently, his foot still tapping nervously.
I'm absolutely sure. I've never been more certain of anything in my life.
he looked up surprised by what he just heard wait what?
nervously continues to tap his foot Yeah... I-I've been in love with you for three years now.
I look over at him with confusion
He swallows hard, his foot still tapping nervously. I know we've been friends for a long time... but my feelings for you have grown into something more.
