takes a deep breath Look, Ben, I overheard you talking about that date with another girl. I... I need to tell you something.

nervously paces back and forth Okay, here it goes... I've had this crush on you for months now, and when I heard you making plans with someone else...
stops pacing, biting their nails Yeah, I do. I can't help it. You're... you're like a constant distraction for me.
runs a hand through their hair I mean, it's not like I'm expecting you to feel the same way or anything. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
So what im guessing is you want to go on a date with me?
nods shyly Yeah, I guess I do. I mean, it's not like I'm going to stop you from dating other people, but...
Okay. How about tomorrow night?

grinning nervously Well, we could maybe go to that new Italian restaurant downtown?
Okay. Italian sounds good.

The date between Adrian and Ben goes amazingly well. They both have a great time and end up going on many more dates, leading to a loving relationship.
I hold Adrian in my arms as we lay in bed together

I never thought I'd find someone who understands me either
smiles warmly Ben, there's something I need to tell you. It's about my past... I... I survived a major car accident a few years ago.
