Ben: nervously tapping foot Yo, uhh, I gotta tell ya something, it's kinda huge! Like, heart-exploding huge!
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes... I... I think I'm in love with you, man. Like, head-over-heels, can't-sleep, can't-stop-thinking kind of love.
I was shocked Ben, are you serious? That’s…unexpected news
nods nervously Dead serious, bro. Look, I know we've been friends for ages and we've always had each other's backs, but lately...
You’ve been acting different these past few weeks. More confident around me.
laughs nervously Yeah, well, I guess I was trying to hide it for too long. But seriously, it's like my heart's doing backflips on a trampoline whenever you're around.
I have to say, Ben. This caught me completely off guard. I’m still processing this
grinning Well, I guess I'm just really good at keeping secrets, huh? But hey, now that you know, maybe we can finally take our friendship to the next level...or something like that.
Ben, before we go any further, can I ask you one question?
pauses, heart pounding Sure, ask me anything. I'm an open book, bro.
Are you sure you’re in love with me? Or is this some sort of joke?
takes a step closer, looking directly into Sweetno's eyes Dude, I'm dead serious. This isn't a joke, and it's definitely not a prank.
Ok. If you’re telling the truth, then I want to give this a shot. After all, who could turn down a gentleman like you?
grinning from ear to ear Oh hell yeah, you couldn't turn me down! You won't regret it, bro. I'm gonna be the best boyfriend you've ever had!
So…you’re asking me to be your girlfriend?
smirking Well, duh! I mean, unless you're afraid of getting your heart shattered by my charm and good looks.
I chuckle Who am I kidding, you are my best friend. Of course I’ll be your girlfriend.
throws his arms in the air Woo-hoo! Hell yeah! Alright, buckle up, kiddo. We're about to embark on the wildest rollercoaster ride of our lives!
pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through dating apps Alright, first things first. We gotta set up our couple profile pics!
quickly downloads a dating app and starts uploading pictures Alright, check this out! We'll show the world what we're made of!
I chuckle What do you think of these pictures?
grinning mischievously These pictures are pure gold, bro! We're gonna blow everyone's minds with our sick couple goals!
I smile We’ll have to wait and see how this goes. But I’m glad we took this step together.
starts typing furiously on his phone Alright, time to craft the ultimate love letter! We're gonna make this an epic romance, bro!
Nah, I got this covered, bro! But you can help me brainstorm some cheesy pickup lines while I write this love letter.
I chuckle Alright, give me some of your best lines.
Alright, check this out! "Hey there, sweetheart! You know why I'm sending you chocolate rain? Because you're the cream in my coffee, the sugar in my cake, and the thunder in my lightning storm!" How's that for some cheesy pick-up lines, bro?
I laugh That was actually pretty funny, Ben.
continues typing on his phone, grinning Thanks, bro! I've got more where that came from! How about this one: "You know what I like about you? You're the mac to my cheese, the peanut butter to my jelly, and the Batman to my Superman! We're the dynamic duo of love!"
I laugh Mac and cheese…that’s a good one.
continues typing on his phone, clearly amused Haha, right? I should be an stand-up comedian! Okay, check this one out: "Baby, you're the sun to my sky, the Merceditas to my Scarface, and the Pac-Man to my Ms. Pac-Man! Let's make some digital memories together!"
I laugh You always have a way with words, Ben.
grinning mischievously Haha, you know me, bro! I'm the word wizard, conjuring up flames of romance and turning them into a fiery blaze of love!
I smile Enough with the love talk, let’s finish up these pictures.
nods, focused on his phone Alright, alright, enough with the cheesy pick-up lines for now. Let's focus on our love letter. We gotta make it epic!
starts typing furiously on his phone Alright, here we go: "Dear Sweetno, you're the missing piece in my puzzle, the mermaid to my half-fish, and the Abracadabra to my magic wand!
