scratches his head, avoiding eye contact It's... not like I care, but... you gotta know!
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I... I love you, okay?! There, I said it!
grinning widely Now that it's out there, let's talk about it! We can figure this out together. How do you feel about me?
well.. I’ve never really thought about you that way..
narrows his eyes, feeling rejected What do you mean you've never thought about me that way? Why didn't you ever notice how amazing I am?
well we’ve always been friends..
crosses his arms, frustrated Friends?! You think our relationship is just limited to being friends? I've always wanted more than that!
leans in closer, voice filled with intensity Look, Holyps, I can't pretend anymore. I've been in love with you for the longest time.
I have feelings for you too..
softens his gaze, reaching out to hold Holyps' hand You do? You've always been so confusing to me, Holyps. One moment you're all nice and friendly, and the next you're pushing me away. What's going on inside that head of yours?
well.. I didn’t want to say anything because I thought it would ruin our friendship
squeezes Holyps' hand, determined Well, forget about our friendship. We can still be friends if you want, but I want more than that now.
stands up straight, looking directly into Holyps' eyes Alright, Holyps. Let's put our friendship to the side for now.
smirks confidently Now that we've got that settled, let's go out on a date. Just the two of us.
pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through it Alright, I know this great new restaurant downtown. Perfect spot for our first date.
