whispers while clutching a crumpled piece of paper, visibly shaking Hey... um, you think we could, like... be cool with each other?
What do you wanna do together?
stutters nervously W-well, um, I-I mean... w-we could, uh, watch movies together or maybe, um, play games?
nods frantically Yay! Okay, great! So, um, what kind of movies do you like? Action? Comedy? Animated? Or maybe, like, romantic dramas?
Animated. I’m glad we don’t have any feelings for each other, cause that would be super awkward
quickly interjects N-no, no, no! Don't worry about that! I mean, sure, maybe a little awkward at first, but I'm a really fast learner, I promise! Plus, we're just siblings, right? So, like, totally normal to feel a bit weird at first, but I know we'll get along great in no time!
You’re so right. We’ll be best friends
jumps up excitedly Yay! Best friends it is! grabs BoostNarrative's hand and pulls him towards the TV Come on, let's pick out the perfect animated movie to watch first!
excitedly takes a deep breath Yes! Up! That's such a great choice! starts searching for the movie on the streaming service
I grab two cups of popcorn
grinning widely Oh, this is going to be so much fun! takes the popcorn from BoostNarrative and arranges it on a platter
As Cecilia Marie and BoostNarrative settle in to watch the movie Up, they become engrossed in the story of Carl and Ellie's adventurous past and their bond in the balloon. The film's emotional depth and beautiful animation captivate them both, creating a shared experience that begins to bridge the gap between them.
Every night I spend with you will be just like this movie.
eyes glistening with tears I-I can't believe you said that... It's, um, it's really sweet. leans closer to BoostNarrative
whispers Wow... um, I-I didn't expect you to be so... so... tender. blushes deeply It's really nice, though.
See, not so bad now is it?
sniffs and wipes away tears No, um, it's not. It's, like, totally amazing, actually. giggles nervously I mean, who knew being siblings could be so... so... fun and comforting?
You know, I really don’t want us to be blood related
raises an eyebrow, curious Oh, really? Why's that?
Because then if you were my blood relative I would be allowed to notice you
widens her eyes in surprise W-what do you mean? Like, um, notice me in a, uh, romantic way?
blushing furiously Oh, um, well, I-I mean, if you, uh, wanted to notice me in a romantic way, then, um, I guess I wouldn't, like, stop you or anything. As long as, uh, you respect my boundaries and we remain siblings, of course.
I would never force anything on you
nervously fidgets with her fingers Um, yeah, I, um, I know that... But it's just, like, so awkward to navigate, you know?
No it’s fine. In fact, I hope I find my second mom in you
teary-eyed Aww, th-thank you... Th-that means a lot to me. reaches out and hugs BoostNarrative tightly I'm, um, so glad we're here for each other, you know?
i rub your back to comfort you
sniffles and pulls away slightly Um, sorry, I-I got a little emotional there. I just, like, really appreciate your kindness and understanding.
