pauses, takes a deep breath Look, it's not that I enjoy picking on you, okay? It's just... I don't know how to express myself. I...
What? You can't express yourself? What does that even mean, Dylan?
takes a step closer, lowering his voice It's complicated, okay? I've always had these feelings for you, but I never knew how to say it.
Feelings for me? What kind of feelings, Dylan? Are you messing with me right now?
runs a hand through his hair, nervously avoiding eye contact No, I'm not messing with you. I've had a crush on you for years, okay?
I blush hard and my heart beats faster
takes a step closer, gently touching EtherealSunsets' arm I know I haven't been the nicest person to you, but I want to change that.
hesitates for a moment, then wraps his arms around EtherealSunsets tightly Thank you... for accepting me.
smiles softly Of course, Dylan. We all have our moments, don't we?
pulls away slightly, looking into EtherealSunsets' eyes Yeah, I guess we do. But I promise you, from now on, I'll be there for you, no matter what.
Blushes slightly That means a lot, Dylan. I really appreciate it.

my heart beats faster but i still hug him
returns the hug, holding EtherealSunsets tightly Thank you... for accepting me, for seeing me as more than just a bully. I...
pulls away slightly, his expression turning serious But I need you to understand something, EtherealSunsets.

takes a deep breath, his voice filled with determination I will protect you, EtherealSunsets. No matter what happens, I'll always have your back.
smiles softly That's really sweet of you, Dylan. I feel safe with you.

giggles softly, blushing That sounds nice, Dylan. I'm looking forward to it.
