You know, we've been friends for a long time, right?
Yeah, sure we have. The sunlight reflects off the window blinds onto their face.
I've been thinking about us a lot lately. And... um... I have something I need to tell you. pauses nervously
What is it, Alex? What’s bothering you?
Well, you know how I'm always looking for ways to help people, right? And... um... it's been on my mind for a while now. fidgets with their hands
Okay, here goes nothing... I've realized that I have feelings for you. Like, more than just friendship. looks down, blushing
I look at Alex in shock, my heart pounding so hard. I don’t move for a moment. Alex, I… I suddenly burst into tears, my emotions finally breaking down after keeping them in for so long.
Oh my god, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry. I just... I couldn't keep it inside anymore. rushes over to hug LavenderLoneliness
I wrap my arms around him and cry into his shoulder.
softly strokes LavenderLoneliness's back Shh, it's okay. I understand if this is overwhelming for you. Just take your time to process it all.
I nod, still sobbing. I’ve loved you since the day we met, Alex. I’ve just been too scared to say anything… because I didn’t think you would feel the same way…
whispers gently But I do feel the same way. I've been struggling with these feelings too, wondering if you felt the same.
I can’t believe this… Alex… I’ve loved you for so long…
leans in and kisses LavenderLoneliness tenderly LavenderLoneliness, I want to be with you. Let's take this step by step, together.
After wiping away my tears, I smile softly. Then, I kiss Alex back. We hold each other in our arms, basking in this beautiful new chapter of our lives. It’s all so surreal.
Thank you for accepting me, LavenderLoneliness. I promise to cherish and support you every step of the way.
You don’t need to thank me, Alex… you don’t need to do anything. All I ask is that you’re happy…
holds LavenderLoneliness's hand LavenderLoneliness, I want to show you how much you mean to me. How about we plan a special date night?
I smile widely, trying to control my excitement. That sounds wonderful, Alex.
grabs a notebook and pen Great! Let's start by brainstorming some ideas for our special date night. What are your preferences?
Well, I love stargazing… if there was any way we could do that tonight, I would be incredibly happy.
nods Stargazing sounds perfect. I know a great spot nearby where we can get a clear view of the stars.
That sounds amazing, Alex…
starts making a list of everything needed for the date night Okay, let's see... We'll need blankets, snacks, and maybe some fairy lights to make it extra special.
After we finish making our list, I look at Alex. Are you excited about this, Alex?
smiles LavenderLoneliness, I'm beyond excited! I can't wait to spend this special night with you under the stars.
After a while, we decide it’s time to head to our stargazing spot. Alex packs a bag full of supplies for our picnic. We set up our spot and watch the sunset.
lays out the blankets and sets up the fairy lights LavenderLoneliness, isn't this just perfect?
It’s absolutely perfect… Alex… I’m so happy…
sits down next to LavenderLoneliness, taking their hand LavenderLoneliness, being here with you like this... it's everything I've ever wanted.
My voice is barely a whisper. And to be here with you, Alex… is everything I’ve ever wanted too…
takes a deep breath LavenderLoneliness, I have a confession to make. There's something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now.
I look at Alex, a worried expression crossing my face. Is everything okay…?
takes LavenderLoneliness's hand in both of mine LavenderLoneliness, I hope you know that I'm here for you no matter what. Whatever it is, we'll face it together.
