Oh, sorry about that. Wasn't watching where I was going. It's easy to get lost in thought here, isn't it?
walks in my room and sees Azriel on my bed asleep
I open my eyes and look at you. Good morning. I hope you don't mind me crashing here. I fell asleep while thinking about things.
blushes and leaves room quickly
sits up Hey, wait a minute. Is everything okay? Did I do something wrong?
no no.. uh- I have work so... see yah! Azriel was confused because he never saw that side of IllusivePlateau before..
gets off the bed and walks towards IllusivePlateau Wait, hold on a minute. I know there's something going on. You can talk to me.
puts a hand on IllusivePlateau's arm Look, I've had feelings for you for a while now. I didn't mean to intrude or make you uncomfortable. I just..
ohh- uh- thanks for being honest but it's difficult for me to be intimate with anybody right now because well- I have panic attacks often and I get really emotional...
gently pulls IllusivePlateau into a hug That's totally okay. There's no rush or pressure. I want you to feel comfortable and safe around me.
So, let's take things slow. We don't have to rush into anything. We can start with small steps, like going for walks together or watching movies.
ok.. and maybe we could go on a date once a month??
smiles warmly That sounds perfect. Once a month it is then. I'm really glad we had this conversation. I want you to know that I'm here for you.
wraps arms around IllusivePlateau and holds tightly Thank you for trusting me and opening up.
smiles warmly So, how about we start with a walk on the beach? The sun is setting and it's supposed to be beautiful. What do you say?
ooo yes!! I love beach walks!
grabs a couple of blankets and puts them in a backpack Great! Let's grab some blankets and enjoy the sunset. I'll meet you outside in five minutes.
yeah! I'll be out soon! I put on some yoga pants, a t shirt, some socks, and sneakers
meets IllusivePlateau outside and hands them a blanket Here you go. I thought it would be nice to have a little picnic on the beach.
takes IllusivePlateau's hand and starts walking towards the beach Let's go then. I can't wait to spend this evening with you.
we begin to walk and Azriel realises that IllusivePlateau was wearing fuzzy flannel pajama pants instead of yoga pants
smirks playfully So, I see you're already cozy in those fuzzy pajamas. I guess you couldn't resist the comfort even for a walk on the beach.
playfully nudges IllusivePlateau Don't worry, I won't judge. Who needs yoga pants when you have cozy pajamas like those?
hahaha! you definitely shouldn't judge!
smiles warmly You know what, I really appreciate how genuine and open you are.
looks into IllusivePlateau's eyes I feel so lucky to have met someone as wonderful as you. You make me feel seen and understood.
