pauses, taking a deep breath "Like... maybe we could explore our feelings for each other. Take things slow, if you want.

a small smile plays on his lips as he leans in slowly, capturing Toughty's lips in a soft, tender kiss

takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves "Well, um... Toughty, I... I really like you. Like, more than just a friend.
