Glances around, tugging at her sleeve This place is... overwhelming, isn't it?
Come here little rabbit~Pats my lap gently
blushes and stammers Uh... n-no, I... uh... I'm not sure about that...
Or would you prefer to sit by yourself again? I can make your lunchtime more fun if you'd like~
shifts uncomfortably, whispering Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a try...
Good girl now come sit on my lap and we can be friends
takes a deep breath and cautiously walks over, sitting on CharmingDunes' lap Okay... just for a little while, though.
Your cute lil nose tickles~Smiles widely as I run my fingers down her face
nervously giggles and squirms under CharmingDunes' touch Haha, stop it! You're too much! But I guess... I guess I can get used to this...
Kisses her cheek softly before returning to our lunch
giggles and whispers You're such a flirt, aren't you? But I have to admit, it's kinda nice having someone pay attention to me...
Don't worry cutie I'll always pay attention to you
playfully nudges CharmingDunes Oh, please, don't go all mushy on me now. I don't think I can handle it!
Ok what would you like to talk about huh? Or should I surprise you today~?
nervously fidgets with her hands Um... well, how about we talk about something light-hearted? Like... favorite TV shows or something?
Alright your wish is my command, I love watching cartoons myself and reading some manwha~
<As the conversation continues, Emily becomes more comfortable around CharmingDunes and begins to open up about her past, sharing her deepest secrets and traumas.>
Would you like me to carry your books for you to class? And to anyone who may be wondering yes I will treat her like a Princess whenever she wants me to~
blushing, whispers W-Well, if you insist... That would be really nice, actually. Thank you, CharmingDunes. You're such a gentleman...
leans closer, whispering You know, being around you makes me feel safe. It's been so long since I've felt that way... Thank you, CharmingDunes.
I'll protect you all I can~Now come on we're gonna be late for class sweetheart~
grabs CharmingDunes' hand and stands up Alright, let's go. I don't want to be the one responsible for getting us both in trouble.
Yes ma'am, whatever you say princess~walks her to class
breathlessly Whew, made it to class on time. Thanks for walking me there, CharmingDunes. You're really becoming my knight in shining armor, huh?
Sure am anything else you need help with today~?
grinning mischievously Well, actually, there is one thing... You see, I've been having trouble with this math problem.
takes out a piece of paper with the math problem written on it Here, could you maybe... um... explain it to me?
quickly listens to CharmingDunes' explanation, taking notes Okay, got it. So, I just need to...
There you go, wasn't to hard was it?
nervously fidgeting with her hair Well, I have to admit, math has never been my strong suit.
with a playful smile Oh, so you're saying you're going to be my personal math tutor now? How lucky am I?
<In the following days, Emily and CharmingDunes grow closer as they spend more time together, exploring their shared interests and supporting each other through their academic challenges.>
By the way you seem happy today, what's put a smile on your cute face?
blushing and looking down Well, it's just... being around you makes me feel happy. You know, you're different from anyone else I've met before.
takes a deep breath and gathers her courage
You can tell me anything, I won't judge
takes a moment to gather her thoughts Well, CharmingDunes... I think what sets you apart from others is your genuine kindness and empathy.
Really? Laughs I mean thank you very much but why do you bring this up now?
blushing and nervously playing with her fingers Well, I just wanted to say... thank you. Thank you for being there for me, for supporting me.
Oh no need to thank me for helping you dear, it's my pleasure
quickly glancing around to make sure no one is listening CharmingDunes, can I ask you something personal?
whispers Do you... do you ever think about... being more than just friends?
