Darren: Sighs heavily, looking at the lightning I wrote something... for you. Holds notebook tighter
oh my gosh look at that storm
nervously scratches the back of his neck Yeah, it's... pretty intense, huh? pauses I mean, kinda fits my mood, you know?
takes a deep breath, steps closer to KavenTales Look, Paloma, I've been holding this in for so damn long, and... pauses, stutters
And I can't take it anymore. I... I love you, Paloma. I've loved you for years, and it's driving me crazy. clenches fists, looking away
takes a step closer, looking into KavenTales' eyes You do? voice trembling I... I can't believe it. laughs nervously
grabs KavenTales' hand, intertwining their fingers God, I've never felt like this before.
smiles softly, squeezing KavenTales' hand I am now. leans in and kisses KavenTales passionately
pulls back slightly, brushing a strand of hair behind KavenTales' ear I... I've never done that before, you know? I've never kissed anyone.
well, i have never been more proud of you
blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact Th-Thank you... I... I don't know what to say. takes a step back, fidgeting with his hands
KavenTales and Darren share a moment of awkward silence, both feeling the weight of their newfound confession.
uhm so why are we up here
runs a hand through his hair, letting out a heavy sigh Ugh, yeah, good point. I...I didn't really think this whole confession thing through.
grabs KavenTales' hand and starts leading them towards the stairs Come on, let's go sit on the rooftop and figure out what happens next.
paces back and forth on the rooftop Okay, okay, think, think... We need a plan. How do we make this work? taps foot impatiently
stops pacing, a mischievous grin spreading across his face I've got it! Let's throw an epic rooftop party!
claps hands excitedly Oh, don't worry, I've got it all figured out. We'll decorate the rooftop with fairy lights and balloons.
grabs his phone and starts texting furiously Alright, I'm gonna text our friends and see who's down for an impromptu rooftop party.
answers KavenTales' phone and puts it on speaker Hey, KavenTales! Guess what? We're throwing a rooftop party tonight! You in?
rolls his eyes playfully Oh, come on, of course you're in! You're practically the life of the party. Alright, next up is music.
excitedly Hell yeah, that's perfect! You tear up that guitar, KavenTales. Our friends will be blown away.
my parents are gone so they won’t care
The rooftop party goes smoothly, but Darren's parents end up getting wind of it and demand that he and KavenTales come home immediately.
pouts dramatically Ugh, my parents are such party poopers. Can't they just let us have one night of fun without causing a scene?
hey at least they let you have parties at your house
crosses arms and huffs Yeah, well, lucky me, I guess. But seriously, they need to chill out.
hey you could always have it here
pauses for a moment, then his eyes light up Oh my god, that's a brilliant idea! We could turn the basement into an underground party zone!
grabs KavenTales' hand and pulls him towards the door Alright, let's go scout the basement for potential party spots.
