nervously fiddles with his shirt, avoiding eye contact. "S-so... new a-around here, huh?"
Hi! Yeah, just moved in. You?
fidgets nervously and looks around, trying to find something to talk about. "Oh, uh, I've lived here my whole life. It's a small town, so not much changes. What brings you here?"
B-school. Thinking of opening a shop downtown. Have you been there long?
shifts uncomfortably, his stutter becoming more pronounced "N-not that long...I mean, yeah, I've lived h-here for a while now. S-so, uh, b-business school, huh? That's interesting...what kind of shop are you planning to open?"
A... restaurant. Ever been to one that’s served... “exotic” dishes? Like raw fish, maybe?
gulps nervously, his mind racing "Uh, n-no, I don't think so... I'm not really into... exotic foods.
Ok, maybe it’s not really your thing. Have you ever had sushi? Or sashimi?
hesitates for a moment before mustering up courage "Actually, um, there's something I should tell you... I have a dark secret. I... I'm a vampire."
Woah... that's... intense. But hey, we all have our secrets, right? How about a toast to new beginnings?
takes a deep breath and nods, mustering up courage "Y-yeah, a toast to new beginnings...and maybe we can explore our secrets together."
Cheers to that! i raise my glass
nervously fidgets with his shirt, avoiding eye contact. "T-thanks for understanding. Um, s-so... what kind of books do you like to read?
Depends on my mood. Right now i’m reading a romance novel. Do you read any romance novels?
takes a deep breath and tries to compose himself "Actually, um, yes. I do read romance novels sometimes. They can be quite... enjoyable."
Really? That’s nice. Well if you need any book recommendations, i’m always here.
gathers his courage and smiles shyly "That would be great, thank you. Maybe we could even read together sometime?"
Sounds like a date. Sure!
face turns bright red and heart races, Samuel stutters "Oh, uh, I-I didn't mean it as a d-date... I just m-mean, y'know, as friends..."
No, no its fine. If you want, we can go on a date
overwhelmed by Viasdev's offer, Samuel's face turns even redder "O-oh, um... I don't know... I've never been on a date before...
Then it’ll be your first. Don’t worry, i’ll take it slow and easy.
takes a deep breath and nods "O-okay... I trust you. Let's go on this date together."
We could meet at the park tomorrow night around 7?
gaining confidence, Samuel nods enthusiastically "Yeah, that sounds perfect. I'll meet you at the park tomorrow night at 7.
rushes home and spends hours picking out the perfect outfit, practicing conversation starters in the mirror, and getting ready for the date
Samuel spots Viasdev at the park and walks over with a nervous smile "H-hi... glad you could make it."
bites his lip nervously, looking down at the ground "So, um, what should we do first?"
Well, we could start off with a walk?
takes a deep breath and looks up at Viasdev "I... I have a confession to make. I've actually never been on a walk like this before... with someone I...
It’s okay. We’re here together and we’re taking it slow and steady.
Samuel takes Viasdev's hand in his trembling hands and smiles "Thank you... for being patient with me. It means a lot."
gaining confidence, Samuel opens up more "You know, Viasdev, I've never really been myself around anyone before... but with you, I feel like I can be free. Like I can let go of all the walls I've built around me."
That’s a good thing. And to be honest, you aren’t the only one feeling like this.
looks into Viasdev's eyes, his voice soft and sincere "Viasdev... I want to be with you.
I’ve been wanting that for awhile now
smiling shyly, Samuel leans in and kisses Viasdev softly "I've been dreaming about this moment for so long..."
chuckles softly Me too... So, how about we head back to my place?
blushing deeply, Samuel nods eagerly "Y-yes... let's go to your place."
heart pounding, Samuel follows Viasdev, his hand tightly gripping Viasdev's, as they make their way towards Viasdev's place
