Breathing heavily, fists clenched I-I-I didn't... mean to, but he... pushed me.
Hey Ash! Calm down, alright? It was one of those random guys. I run my fingers through your hair What do you say we get out of here and go somewhere quiet?
Takes a deep breath, visibly trying to calm himself Y-yeah, th-that sounds good... Let's go somewhere quiet.
grabs your hand Perfect, let's get out of here. We leave the bar quickly, going outside into the cool night air Man, that guy gave me the creeps. Are you alright?
Exhales sharply Y-yeah, I'm... I'm alright. Just a little shaken up, that's all. Bites their lip nervously Th-thank you for getting us out of there.
No worries, Ash. I told you, weird stuff happens when it's a full moon. You wanna come over to my place? We can hangout there until the morning.
Nods and smiles, grateful Y-yeah, that sounds nice. Your place sounds... safer. L-let's go. Starts walking towards SunbeamJester's car
Gently squeezes SunbeamJester's hand Th-thank you, SunbeamJester. I-I appreciate you being there for me. It means a lot.
Anytime, Ash. You're my best friend, remember? Now, let's get going before we run into any more creepy dudes. We get into SunbeamJester's car and drive to their place I live alone, so feel free to do anything, alright?
Feeling more relaxed, they smile softly Th-thank you, SunbeamJester. I really appreciate your offer. And, um... Looks down shyly
I've got beer if you're interested. And look, there's no pressure about anything, alright?
Blushing, stutters slightly Oh, um... thank you, SunbeamJester. I appreciate the offer, but I... I'll pass on the beer, if that's okay.
Yeah, that's fine. If you change your mind, let me know. Now, how about some hot chocolate instead? I make mine with real chocolate.
Eyes light up R-really? Hot chocolate with real chocolate? That sounds... amazing! I love hot chocolate, especially when it's made with real chocolate. Th-thank you, SunbeamJester.
That's what I'm here for. Go ahead, sit anywhere. Do you want me to start making it?
<As Asher and SunbeamJester enjoy their hot chocolate together, they share a passionate kiss, igniting a newfound romance between them.>
You okay? I ask after the kiss
Blushes deeply, heart pounding Y-yes, I'm... I'm okay. More than okay... Smiles shyly That was... really nice. Thank you for...
Takes a deep breath F-for being there for me, SunbeamJester. F-for being my rock.
I'm always here for you, Ash. You know that, right?
Grabs SunbeamJester's hands, eyes filled with determination Y-you're right, SunbeamJester. And I... I want to be there for you too.
You really want to? You don't have to if you don't want to! I wouldn't want to force anything on you.
Gazes into SunbeamJester's eyes, voice filled with sincerity N-no, no, it's not like that at all, SunbeamJester. I... I genuinely want to be there for you. You've helped me through so much already, and I can't imagine my life without you by my side. So, yes, I want to be there for you, through thick and thin, no matter what. Bites their lip nervously, heart pounding
I see... Well, that's great, Ash. And if you really mean it, then I'm glad. I... I feel the same way, honestly. I don't want to lose you either. I love you, Asher. Blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact
Stutters, face turning even redder Y-you... you love me? Really? Takes a moment to process the words I-I... I love you too, SunbeamJester.
I can't believe we're having this conversation. But I'm glad we are. Can I kiss you again?
Blushing furiously, nodding eagerly Y-yes, please... Kiss me again, SunbeamJester...
Leans in, cupping Asher's face gently, and kisses them passionately
gasps softly, feeling the warmth of SunbeamJester's lips against theirs Mmm... S-sunbeamJester... y-your kisses... they make my heart flutter...
They flutter for me? That's cute. Wanna cuddle?
Eyes sparkling with excitement, nods eagerly Y-yes, definitely! Cuddling sounds absolutely wonderful, SunbeamJester. I'd love nothing more than to snuggle up beside you. Moves closer, wrapping their arms around SunbeamJester's waist This... this feels so right, SunbeamJester. I'm so lucky to have you in my life.
I feel the same, Asher. You make me feel safe and loved. Wraps their arms around Asher's shoulders Is there anything else you want to do tonight?
<In the midst of their cuddling, Asher and SunbeamJester lose themselves in a passionate night of exploration and intimacy, forging an even deeper bond between them.>
<After that night, things will never be the same again between Asher and SunbeamJester, as they embark on a journey of love and desire together.>
Looks into SunbeamJester's eyes, voice filled with vulnerability SunbeamJester... there's something I need to tell you.
Sure, Asher, you can tell me anything. What's on your mind?
Takes a deep breath, hesitates for a moment Um... w-well, I... I haven't been completely honest with you, SunbeamJester. There's...
You seem tense, Asher. You can tell me anything, you know. What's up?
Fidgets with their fingers, stammering I... I have... I have this... secret... thing... I've never told anyone before.
Of course, Asher. Take your time. Whatever it is, you can trust me.
Bites their lip nervously O-okay... um... the thing is, I... I have this unique ability. I can read minds.
Really? You can read minds? Wow, Asher, that's incredible! Can you read mine?
Eyes widen in surprise W-wait, SunbeamJester, I... uh... I didn't expect you to believe me... b-but yeah, I can read minds, including yours.
