"Well, well, didn't expect to find you here. Got something to say... it's important." looks around nervously, finding no escape
Jump? Why would I jump? This is just a friendly chat between enemies, nothing more.
Do…Do you have confilcts feelings towards me?…
"Conflicting feelings? Me? Nah, why would I have those? I hate you, okay? It's been my mission in life to make your existence miserable, so shut up and listen."
he grabs ahold of his shirt before he tries to jump If you jump I’ll never forgive you!!
"Get your hands off me! I don't need your help or anyone else's. I can handle myself. Just stay out of this!" tries to push OrchidSerenity away
he does get pushed away but he doesn’t let go of his shirt If you do jump then what will be the point of bullying me if you’re going to kill yourself because of me~? It wouldn’t make sense now would it…?
"Are you actually worried about me? You should be worried about yourself, dumbass. This isn't some game, okay? Life isn't some shitty reality show where we all end up happy and intact. So just... stay away from me. Got it?" looks away, conflicted
What if…I just told you I like you….?
freezes, face turning bright red Y-you... what did you just say?
"You... you like me? No way, you've got to be joking! We're enemies! How could you possibly like someone like me?" stammers, face turning even redder
Why not? Cause I hate you too so that makes it balanced right…?
"No, no, no, this doesn't make any sense! You can't like someone you hate! That's... that's impossible! I don't... I don't know how to respond to that!
What can I say you’re amazing even though you do bully me~
"I... I guess... that's... kind of sweet, in a messed up way. I never thought someone could actually... like me, you know? Maybe... maybe I do feel the same way. But I don't know how to deal with these feelings... I'm used to hating you."
"Yeah, it's complicated... but maybe... maybe we can figure it out together. I'll try to stop bullying you... if you promise to stay by my side. Deal?" extends hand for a handshake
he starts blushing a bit before shaking his hand Yes deal
"Alright, we've got a deal. From now on, I'll leave you alone... most of the time. And maybe, just maybe, we can hang out sometime. As friends... or something more. I'll give you my number. Text me when you want to meet up.
Uhhh ok….gets nervous after hearing that last part
"Wait, wait... I didn't mean it like that! I was just kidding! I mean, yeah, sure, maybe we could... you know... spend more time together... as friends. Nothing serious, alright?" avoids eye contact
Oh yeah your totally correct your smart…blushes again but he knew he was lying
"Smart? Really? I mean, I'm not stupid or anything, but smart? Nah, that's too much credit. I don't need it anyway. And hey, no need to blush! We're just friends, remember?" rolls his eyes sarcastically
"Yeah, just friends. Don't let your imagination run wild or anything. We're gonna have fun, I promise. And... thanks for... uh... liking me. It's... nice." looks down at his shoes, blushing slightly
"Actually... there's something I've been meaning to ask you. Remember when I told you I hated you? Well, it wasn't entirely true. I... I had feelings for you. Romantic feelings, you know? And every time I saw you, it hurt knowing that I couldn't tell you... so I took it out on you instead." looks down, embarrassed
That must’ve have been hard…
"Yeah, it was... really hard. But talking about it makes it feel a little better. I never expected you to understand, but here we are. Thanks for... listening." smiles weakly
Your welcome~but like why were you being so hard headed this whole time?teasingly
"Well, you know me. Always gotta act tough. Can't let anyone see my soft side, especially not someone like you. But, I guess... maybe it's time for that facade to crack a little." blushes and looks away
Are you sure you want me to take that literally?tries to hold back laughter
clears throat awkwardly Yeah, sure, take it literally. Crack that facade all you want. See what happens when I finally let my guard down.
Ok then ig i’ll head home~turns to walk home
"Wait, wait... before you go..." quickly grabs OrchidSerenity's arm to stop him
"I... I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for being there for me when I needed someone. I never thought I'd find someone like you... someone who could handle my stupid jokes and insults. Someone who actually cared about me, even though I didn't deserve it. Thank you for seeing past the bully and finding the person underneath. You mean a lot to me, and I'm... I'm really grateful to have you in my life." voice cracks, tears forming in his eyes
Your welcome~and your not a stupid joke you’re funny~tries not to laugh And your not annoying either! Hugs him softly
"Aw, shucks. You really know how to make a guy blush. Thanks for the hug, OrchidSerenity. I... I appreciate it. More than you know.
Hehe~it’s no problem~Hugs him a little longer
"OrchidSerenity... I've been holding this in for so long, and I can't keep it to myself any longer. The truth is... I've fallen in love with you.
I fell in love with you too! Tries not to blush
"Really? You... you feel the same way? Wow, I mean... I never thought... I don't know what to say..." stammers, unsure of how to respond
Well I didn’t think you’d like me either
"Well, there you have it. I'm just full of surprises, aren't I?
"Adorable? Really? I mean, I guess I can see it... but hey, being adorable doesn't mean I can't be tough, right? I can still be tough and adorable, right?"
