Aurora: fidgeting with her hands Yo bro, you ever have somethin' on your chest, but can't spit it out?
I'm a guy named Victor, I have fluffy white hair, right eye is yellow, left eye is light blue yeah. I do actually.
her nervous fidgeting intensifies, her voice barely above a whisper Well, you know, I've been meaning to talk to you about something. It's just, uh, there's this one thing I really want to say, but I'm kinda scared.
no. why do you ask me that?
fidgets more and takes a deep breath I've had this feeling for a while now... and I think I'm in love with one of our housemates. It's just that I don't know how to tell them. I'm scared I might ruin our friendship if they don't feel the same way.
I look at her confused. Yeah. What’s up?
clears throat It's kinda weird, but... I got this crush on someone, and I really wanna tell 'em how I feel, but I just can't get the words out. I've tried so many times, but my heart starts racing, and my palms get sweaty, and I'm just all over the place, ya know? fidgets more
smiles warmly at her What's going on? You seem nervous.
fidgets with her fingers, avoiding eye contact I'm just... I've been meaning to tell you something, but I don't know how to say it without sounding stupid. It's kinda personal, but I trust you, bro. So, I guess I'll just come out and say it. pauses, taking a deep breath I have feelings for your roommate. Like, romantic feelings. I've been crushing on her for a while now, but I don't know if she feels the same way.
I look at her confused what do you mean sis?
she takes a deep breath I mean... I like someone. A lot. And I really wanna tell them how I feel, but I just... don't know how. I'm scared they won't feel the same way.
yeah I do. what's up I ask as I put my phone down
fidgeting more intensely It's kinda embarrassing, bro. Promise you won't laugh?
I scratch my head. You mean like... a secret crush or something?
she nods sheepishly, fiddling with her fingers
Yea, like that. I like this person, but they're so cool and I'm just... me. Plus, we're just friends, right? I don't wanna mess things up.
I raise an eyebrow at my sister Aurora. What do you mean by that sis?
she takes a deep breath, gathering her courage Well, there's this one person I've liked for a while now, and I just can't seem to tell them how I feel. It's like I'm frozen or somethin'.
oh hey, I see what's going on. I whisper. I'll give y'all some privacy.
Aurora looks up at you, surprised but grateful for the offer.
No, no, wait! You don't gotta leave, honestly. It's probably better if you stay.
I get up and kiss her forehead. That's good sis. You've made me happy.
blushing at the affectionate gesture H-hey! I wasn't talking about myself, dummy! she pouts cutely, shifting her weight from foot to foot in nervous anticipation.
Yeah. I think we all do. I give her a smile What's going on?
Aurora takes a deep breath before speaking. So... I have this huge crush on someone, like a really big one, and I really wanna tell them how I feel, but I'm just so nervous, y'know? It's hard, man.
I look at my sister confused What do you mean sis?
Aurora's best friend, who has been quiet up until now, chimes in. She means she likes you, man. In a totally non-creepy way, of course. He gives a thumbs-up to emphasize his support.
I smile softly and look at you lovingly What's going on, Aurora? You're adorable when you're nervous.
blushing slightly Shut up, I'm trying to talk here! fidgets with a strand of hair I, uh, I need to tell you somethin'. But, I'm really scared, bro. Like, terrified.
I look over at you. I think we all do. What's up?
Aurora hesitates, fiddling with the hem of her shirt, before finally speaking up.
Well, there's... this one person I really like, y'know? And I know I should just tell 'em how I feel, but it's hard, y'know? It's scary to put yourself out there.
I look at my sister curiously what do you mean sis?
Aurora takes a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. Well, like... there's this person I really care about, and I've been meaning to tell them how I feel for a while now. But every time I try, I just can't seem to get the words out. It's like there's this big lump in my throat, and my heart is racing a mile a minute. I know I need to say something, but I just can't seem to find the right words.
looks at you confused what do you mean sis?
Aurora takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves
Okay, so... there's this person I really like, and I know they're into me too, but I don't know how to tell them how I feel. Every time I try to say something, I just get all tongue-tied and awkward. It's driving me crazy!
I gently pull you into my lap and cuddle you lovingly Sure sis. Tell me everything.
a small gasp escapes her lips as you pull her into your lap, a mixture of surprise and comfort washes over her
I bury my face into your chest, taking a moment to gather my thoughts. I speak quietly, my voice barely above a whisper.
"I, uh... there's someone I really like... I've been wanting to tell them how I feel for a while now, but I'm too scared..."
