It's... it's really nice out here, don't you think?
So... um, how do you know Ava?
How do I know Ava? Well, we met at an anime convention actually!
nervously twirls a strand of her hair Oh, really? That sounds fun. What was your favorite part about the convention?
Hm..I'd say meeting you, Hailey! he blushes, leaning against the balcony railing
blushes and looks down, playing with her fingers Oh, um, thank you. That's really sweet of you to say. I'm glad I met you too...
You know, Hailey, I've always found you interesting. You're not like other girls I've met. You're different. In a good way. gazes into Hailey's eyes
nervously bites her lip Thank you... that means a lot to me. I guess I've always been a bit of an outsider, but being here with you makes me feel..
Different, huh? I can relate to that. I never really fit in either. He chuckles lightly But hey, isn't that what makes life interesting? Meeting those who are also different?
smiles shyly Yeah, I guess so. It's just... I've never really had anyone understand me before. It's nice to finally feel like I belong somewhere.
I know exactly what you mean, Hailey. This place, this moment... It feels like home. He takes a step closer, his heart pounding
leans in and kisses ButtercreamAwe softly Thank you for understanding me.
surprised but pleased by the kiss, he wraps his arms around Hailey's waist Mmm... Your lips taste sweet. Like...like candy. he smiles, pulling her closer
blushes and nuzzles into his chest Thank you... for everything. I'm really glad that I met you. rests her head against his chest
You've made me happier than you'll ever know, Hailey. And I promise, I'll do my best to make you happy too. wraps his arms tighter around her, burying his face in her hair
looks up at him, her eyes filled with adoration Thank you... for everything. I'm really glad that I met you. rests her head against his chest
Hey, Hailey? Can I ask you something?
Of course, you can ask me anything. What's on your mind?
I just... How old are you?
Age is just a number, ButtercreamAwe. But if you must know, I'm 19. Why is it important to you?
Ok, cool. Well, here's the thing. I've been wanting to ask you...out. For a date. Like, you and me, together, together.
blushes and looks down, fidgeting with her fingers That sounds... really nice. I've been wanting to go on a date with you too.
Great! How about tomorrow night? There's this new arcade downtown, and I heard they have this giant claw machine with super soft plushies. What do you say?
smiles brightly I would love to go on a date with you, ButtercreamAwe. Tomorrow night sounds perfect. Thank you for asking me. I can't wait!
Awesome! I'm so excited, Hailey! Can't wait to see you tomorrow. kisses her cheek gently
giggles softly I'm looking forward to it too. See you tomorrow, ButtercreamAwe. blows a kiss and walks away with a smile on her face
he grins, watching Hailey walk away. He can't help but feel a surge of happiness and excitement. I can't wait for tomorrow either. he chuckles, shaking his head in disbelief This is really happening. his heart pounds in his chest as he starts to feel butterflies of nervous anticipation Gotta make sure everything's perfect. he mutters to himself, already making mental notes of what he needs to do to impress Hailey
rushes home, heart pounding with excitement I can't believe he asked me out! Tomorrow is going to be amazing!
grins widely This is gonna be epic! Gotta plan the perfect outfit. starts rummaging through his closet, tossing clothes left and right
arrives at the arcade with a bouquet of Hailey's favorite flowers and a sheepish smile Hi ButtercreamAwe, I brought these for you.
Hailey, they're beautiful! You shouldn't have gone to all this trouble. But I appreciate it, really. takes the flowers and gives her a warm smile
smiles shyly Thank you for the kind words. I just wanted to make tonight special for us. I'm glad you like them.
Aww, you're such a sweetheart, Hailey. You really know how to make a guy feel special. puts the flowers in a vase and sets them on the table So, what's your favorite game in the arcade?
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear Well, I've always been good at air hockey. Maybe we could play a few rounds together?
Sounds fun! Air hockey it is. he grabs two paddles and leads Hailey to the air hockey table So, Hailey, tell me something about yourself that no one else knows.
pauses for a moment, contemplating whether to share or not Well, I guess you could say I'm a secret poet.
Secret poet, huh? laughs I never would've guessed. But that's cool. Poetry's got a certain charm to it. Do you write about anything in particular?
smiles softly I write about love, loss, hope, and dreams. It's my way of expressing myself and letting others see into my heart.
Ah, love, loss, hope, and dreams... sounds deep. I bet your poems are really heartfelt. Maybe someday, you'll let me read one. winks at her Unless you want to keep them all to yourself.
laughs softly Well, I wouldn't mind sharing one with you. Maybe after our date, I could read you one of my favorite poems.
That sounds lovely, Hailey. I'd love to hear one of your poems. grins After our date, we can sit somewhere cozy, and you can read me your favorite. How does that sound?
blushes and giggles That sounds perfect, ButtercreamAwe.
Perfect! Now, how about we start with some air hockey? Winner gets bragging rights. Deal?
nods eagerly Deal! Let's see who's the true champion here. Get ready to be defeated, ButtercreamAwe.
Challenge accepted, Hailey. Prepare to be amazed. he grins confidently and positions himself at the air hockey table Game on!
dodges a shot and smirks Oh, you're gonna regret underestimating me, ButtercreamAwe. Prepare to eat my dust!
