H-hey... I w-was wondering if we could, um, talk for a sec...
fidgets with his hands, nervously W-well, um... I've been thinking about us... and how much I enjoy spending time with you...
oh really….that’s awesome!
takes a deep breath I-I... I was wondering if... maybe... you'd like to go on a date with me?
blushing furiously, stutters R-really? You mean it? Oh wow, um... th-thank you so much! I-I didn't expect you to say yes!
excitedly Oh wow! Okay, um... let's see... how about we go to that new cafe downtown? They have amazing pastries and drinks.
grinning Great! How about we meet there this Saturday at 7 pm? Does that work for you?
sure thing, see you there!
jumps up in excitement Yay! I can't wait! It's gonna be so much fun!
rushes off to find a cute outfit for the date, trying on different clothes and accessories
one week later sees ethan at the cafe he is wearing a small skirt and crop top his shirt tight black leggings and ankle boots and short black hair with glasses his femboy side really showing
nervously approaches WaterfallMystic, cheeks flushed H-hi... um... you look amazing... I mean... wow... uh... sorry, I'm just... surprised...
thanks but did you forget our date was tonight?
<Ethan realizes he forgot about the date and panics>
well it’s ok we can go another time.
frantically N-no, no, please don't cancel! I... I'm so sorry, I messed up, I-I promise it won't happen again! Let's still go, p-please?
rubs the back of his neck nervously Th-thank you so much! I'm really glad we can still make it work.
takes a deep breath O-Okay, um... so, uh, how was your week? Anything interesting happen?
nothing too exciting other than what’s happening now.
nervously fidgets with his hands R-right, um... yeah, my week was pretty uneventful too. J-just studying and stuff.
me too mostly just reading up on people psychology and motivation
takes a sip of his drink, trying to hide his nerves Oh, uh, psychology and motivation? That sounds fascinating!
yeah I’ve been studying human behavior.
stuttering Y-yeah, h-human behavior is really... u-um... interesting. I've always been curious about why people do the things they do...
me too! gestures to a free seat next to him why don’t you sit with me?
hesitates for a moment, then sits down Um, sure! I mean, yeah, sure, sitting sounds good. Thank you... for inviting me...
mhm..no problem at all. soooo…anything you wanna ask me?
nervously shifts in his seat W-well, um... I was wondering... how do you... I mean, how do you figure out someone's personality? Like, um...
I mean how can I tell if you’re shy or not?
stutters Uh, well, um... I guess, um, people who are shy might, um, avoid eye contact or, um, hesitate when speaking...
hmm….I’m sorry is that a bad thing that I’m being direct?
<Ethan feels uncomfortable under WaterfallMystic's directness and becomes even more nervous>
it’s fine he can’t figure out if I was being direct or if it was a question either way I answered the question asked.
nervously chuckles N-no, not at all... I mean, your directness is refreshing, actually. It's just... um...
well I tend to be honest to avoid misunderstandings.
gulps, trying to gather his thoughts Yeah, I get that. H-honesty is important, right? But sometimes... um, directness can be... um, overwhelming..
