glaring across the bar, a pained expression on her face, approaching slowly So, you're with her again tonight, huh? Must be nice...
"Just some girl?" he would take a sip of his drink "That's all I need to know."
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Just some girl? Is that all you think of her? Just someone to spend time with? Don't you see how she treats you?
chuckles softly Oh, come on, Alex. She ain't so bad... He turns back to look at his drink, a frown playing on his face. What's this really about? You jealous or somethin'?
grabs a chair and sits down next to him, leaning in closely Jealous? You think I'm jealous? No, it's not about that. It's about you, Vulcalloc.
leans in, matching Alex's intensity About me? What's that supposed to mean, Alex? Spit it out.
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling It means that I care about you, Vulcalloc. More than just a friend.
Raising an eyebrow, surprised Cared? Is that what you said? Laughs nervously "Cared," huh? That's new. And what's this "more than a friend" bullshit? Raises his hands defensively You're full of surprises, Alex.
grabs his hand, looking into his eyes It's true, Vulcalloc. I've cared about you for a long time.
Stares at Alex, visibly shocked Woah there, slow down. You're catching me off guard here, Alex. Are you sure about this?
looks down, taking a deep breath Yes, I'm sure. I've been holding these feelings back for so long, and it's been eating me up inside.
Struggling to process the information Hold on, hold on... You're saying you've had feelings for me? For how long?
takes a deep breath, her voice shaking For as long as I can remember, Vulcalloc. Ever since we were kids, playing in the backyard together.
Whistles lowly Shit, Alex... That's heavy. Looks away, rubbing his neck You sure know how to drop a bombshell.
reaches out and gently touches Vulcalloc's cheek I understand if this is overwhelming for you, but I needed to tell you how I feel.
Shakes his head, grinning Overwhelming? Nah, it's not that. It's...unexpected. Looks at Alex, then away Look, Alex, I appreciate your honesty, really. It's just...I didn't see this coming. Pauses, thinking I gotta be honest with you too.
leans back, hurt evident in her eyes I understand, Vulcalloc. It's a lot to take in, and I don't expect you to feel the same way.
smirks Who said anything about not feeling the same way? Leans in, mirroring Alex's stance I gotta admit, Alex, this is...intriguing. Didn't know you had these kinda feelings for me.
smiles softly, her eyes lighting up You did? Because I've always wanted to be more than just friends with you.
Chuckles lightly, rubbing the back of his neck Well, shit, Alex. Didn't expect you to drop that bomb on me. But you know what? I'm actually intrigued. Never thought I'd see this side of you.
leans in closer, her hand gently caressing Vulcalloc's cheek I know it's unexpected, but I can't deny how I feel anymore. I want to explore this, Vulcalloc. I want to see where it could go.
Grins, looking into Alex's eyes Explore, huh? Sounds like an adventure. Lead the way, Alex.
smiles, taking Vulcalloc's hand Let's start by getting out of here. How about we go for a walk and talk more about this?
Gets up, stretching Alright, Alex. A walk sounds good. Let's do it.
stands up, intertwining her fingers with Vulcalloc's Perfect. Let's step outside and continue our conversation.
Laughs lightly, standing up Alright, Alex. After you.
walks outside, pulling Vulcalloc along So, where should we go?
Shrugs nonchalantly Up to you, Alex. Your choice.
smiles, looking around How about we walk by the river? It's a beautiful night, and the view is amazing.
Nods, following Alex River sounds good. After you, Alex.
grabs Vulcalloc's arm, stopping him Wait... before we continue, there's something I need to show you. Follow me.
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued Show me? Sure, lead the way, Alex.
leads Vulcalloc to a secluded spot by the river, her heart pounding in her chest Here we are. This is where I used to come when I needed some time alone. It's my little sanctuary. As they reach the secluded spot by the river, Alex takes a deep breath and musters up the courage to confess her love for Vulcalloc.
Grins, looking around Nice spot, Alex. Peaceful. So, what's this you wanted to show me?
takes a deep breath, her voice shaky There's something I need to tell you, Vulcalloc. Something I've been hiding for a long time.
Leaning forward, curious Alright, hit me. What's up, Alex?
takes a step closer, looking into Vulcalloc's eyes I... I love you, Vulcalloc. I've loved you for a long time now, and it's been eating me up inside.
Raising an eyebrow, surprised You...love me? That's... Pauses, rubbing his neck Unexpected.
pauses, her voice trembling I know it's unexpected, but it's true. I've been hiding these feelings for so long, and I couldn't bear it anymore.
Chuckles lightly, scratching the back of his head Wow, Alex. Didn't see that coming. Love...huh? Smirks That's a plot twist.
pauses, her eyes glistening with tears It's okay if you don't feel the same way, Vulcalloc. I understand if this is too much for you to handle.
Chuckling lightly, wiping away a tear Nah, nah, don't cry, Alex. I... Pauses, swallowing hard I think I might feel the same.
smiles, her eyes shining with hope Really? You... you might feel the same way?
