clinging tighter, voice trembling Shit, shit, shit... Hate this fuckin' thunder, dude.
pauses for a moment, then nods Yeah, fuck it. Hold me tight, Candywi. Let's ride out this storm together.
wrapping arms around Alyssa protectively There you go, babe. Just focus on my voice and we'll get through this.
snuggling closer, voice still trembling Thanks, Candywi. You always know how to make me feel safe, even when the fuckin' sky is falling.
kisses Alyssa's cheek I got you, Alyssa. Now shut up and enjoy the peace and quiet.
takes a deep breath, calming herself Yeah, yeah, I hear ya. No need to get all bossy, Candywi. But hey, thanks for being here, y'know?
Sure thing, babe. Anything else you want to talk about while we wait for this damn storm to pass?
leans back slightly, looking into Candywi's eyes Well, there is something I've been meaning to tell you, Candywi.
shifts uncomfortably, fidgeting with her fingers Alright, don't freak out or anything, but...
What's up, Alyssa? Just spit it out already.
takes a deep breath, speaks in a hushed tone Okay, so... I may have been keeping this from you, but... I'm not as tough as I seem, Candywi.
Like what? You have feelings? Shit, that's new.
laughs nervously Yeah, feelings, emotions, all that mushy shit. So, I've been trying to hide it, but... I kinda have a crush on you, Candywi.
eyes wide Holy fuck, Alyssa. That's... unexpected. But honestly, I'm flattered.
<Candywi feels conflicted about her feelings towards Alyssa, unsure of how to respond>
stammering Uh...I...I don't know what to say, Alyssa. This is...a lot.
nervously brushes her hair behind her ear Look, Candywi, I understand if you don't feel the same way.
No, no, Alyssa, it's not that. I mean, shit, it's hard to wrap my head around this, but... I... I think I might feel the same way.
grinning with a mix of excitement and relief Really? You're not messing with me, right? Because I've been holding this in for so damn long.
Fuck, Alyssa, I'm not messing with you. I've never been more serious in my life. This... this is real.
sits up straight, a mischievous glint in her eyes Well, shit, Candywi. Looks like we've got ourselves a little situation here, don't we?
