so what your saying is that you have been in love with me as our friendship grew?
nods, tears welling up in their eyes Yes, Musefall. I've loved you for so long, and I can't keep it a secret anymore.
stutters, cheeks turning red Well, um, I mean... if you want to, we could definitely give it a try.

tears up It's beautiful, Alex. Thank you.
whispers You're welcome, Musefall. Now, let's go somewhere special. grabs Musefall's hand and leads them to their favorite secret spot in the park

ok then i guess we can eat
excitedly Great! Come on, let's sit down and enjoy our dinner. takes Musefall's hand and guides them to the blanket

gratefully Thank you, Musefall. takes the jacket and puts it on, feeling the warmth and comfort
after dinner they sit by the fire they made
gazing into the fire, voice filled with sincerity Musefall, I never imagined that our friendship would turn into something more. But now, I can't imagine my life without you.
takes Musefall's hand and looks into their eyes Musefall, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?
