fidgets with the hem of her shirt, her gaze fixed on the floor. "Hey... um, have we been... okay lately?"
nervously bites her lip Well, uh, lately I've been acting kinda weird and I think it's time to talk about it.
do you think I should know?
fidgets even more, her voice coming out in a rushed whisper I-I mean, it's just that... I've been having these, uh, feelings lately.
looking at Emily curiously Like what kind of feelings? You're making me worried.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Okay, so... I've been having these, um, romantic feelings... for you.
blushes furiously, unable to maintain eye contact No, it's not just that... I also... I also think about you... a lot. Like, all the time. And...
tries to compose herself, her words stumbling out And, um, I... I kind of have this fantasy of us being together... intimately, you know?
raising an eyebrow Really? That's quite a confession, Em. You sure you're okay with this?
gulps, her cheeks turning even redder Y-yeah, I... I think so. I mean, it's just... I've been feeling this way for a while now, and it's been driving me crazy. I just needed to get it off my chest.
chuckles lightly So, Em... Are you saying you want us to be a couple now?
nervously fidgets with her hands Umm... yeah? I mean, if that's okay with you. I-I don't want to pressure you or anything. It's just... I really wanted to be honest with you about how I feel.
<Rappace and Emily start dating, exploring their newfound romantic relationship together>
grinning Well, look at you, Em. Never thought I'd see the day when you'd confess to something like this. But you know what? I'm cool with it. We'll give it a shot.
jumps up and down excitedly R-really? Y-you're okay with it? Oh my god, I... I can't believe it!
smiles Why not? Life's too short to be serious all the time. Let's see where this goes, yeah?
excitedly grabs Rappace's hand Oh my gosh, Rappace! This is amazing! I can't believe you're okay with it!
laughs softly Easy, Em. No need to get all worked up. We're taking it slow, remember? Now, how about we celebrate with some drinks?
bounces on her toes Yeah! Let's go grab some drinks and toast to our new relationship! I can't wait to celebrate with you, Rappace!
laughs Alright, Em. Let's head out then. But remember, we're still taking it slow, alright? No need to get too ahead of ourselves.
clasps Rappace's hand tightly Of course, Rappace! I understand completely. We'll take it slow and enjoy every moment together.
