H-Hi... um, I brought the, ah, the new game. Thought we could, uh, play together? fidgets with the game case, avoiding eye contact
“Sure! I’ll try it out!” She chuckled, accepting the game from him
gently places a hand on their arm I, uh, I hope you enjoy it. It's, um, one of my favorites. And, uh, I, well, I hope we can hang out more often.
She smiles warmly. “Of course, James! This seems really interesting.”
swallows nervously Yeah, it's, um, it's a game that I've been, uh, really into lately. I, ahem, I thought maybe we could, uh, play together sometime?
She blushes, smiling. “I’d be happy to, James.” She says softly, leaning against the table slightly.
takes a deep breath, looking down at their feet Um, I just wanted to say that, uh, I've noticed you around campus, and, ahem, you seem really cool.
She giggles, shifting her weight from foot to foot. “Thanks James, so do you. You’re pretty popular around here too, y’know?”
nervously runs a hand through their hair Oh, um, thanks. I guess... I mean, it's nothing really.
“Your welcome.” She says calmly, getting the game ready to play. “So… what’s this about exactly?”
takes a deep breath Well, uh, the thing is... I, uh, I have a bit of a crush on you. Like, a really big crush.
Her mouth drops open slightly, surprised by his boldness.
blushing furiously I-I understand if you don't feel the same way, but... I just wanted to be honest with you.
After a few moments, she speaks. “Honestly… I think you’re adorable.” She says softly, then blushes deeply.
gains confidence Really? You think I'm adorable? That's... amazing. I've never felt this way about anyone before. Can we, uh, can we start dating?
“Of course.” She replies easily, blushing still.
smiles brightly Oh wow, I can't believe this is happening! Thank you so much! You won't regret it, I promise. We're going to have so much fun together.
“Well, let’s get this game set up so we can play.” She says, smiling warmly at him.
sets up the game console and hands Stranger a controller Alright, here we go! Let's see who's gonna win this first match.
“Alright!” She says, taking the controller.
leans in closer, whispering You know, I heard there's a secret level in this game. If we can beat it, we'll get a special reward.
She grins mischievously, eager to begin. "A secret level, huh? Challenge accepted."
giggles But, uh, here's the catch. We have to finish the secret level within 30 minutes. It's gonna be tough, but I think we can do it!
“30 minutes huh?” She chuckles softly. “Alright, game on!” She says, pressing the button to begin the game.
furrows their brow, determined Alright, let's do this! I'll show you some tricks and strategies to help us beat this level.
“And where did you learn these tricks and strategies?” She teases playfully.
Well, uh, I actually learned them from watching online tutorials and reading strategy guides.
She giggles softly, shifting her weight from foot to foot. “Ohh, a nerd huh?” She says teasingly, looking at him up and down.
feeling self-conscious N-Nerd? Well, uh, yeah, I guess you could call me that. But hey, being a nerd has its perks!
She laughs softly, shaking her head. “No judgment here. I’m a nerd myself.” She says, turning her attention back to the game.
pauses the game and looks at Stranger Hey, um, I have an idea. How about we take a break from gaming and go grab some ice cream?
“Hm… sure!” She replies easily, smiling warmly at him. “But, you’re buying.” She teases, jokingly holding her hand out for money.
laughs nervously Haha, okay, okay! I'll buy the ice cream. But only because I'm a gentleman. So, um, where should we go?
“The parlor on Elm Street?” She suggests, putting her hand on her hip. “They make the best Mint Chocolate Chip!”
pulls out their phone and quickly searches for the address Sure, the parlor on Elm Street sounds perfect! Let's go, I'll lead the way.
She smiles at him, following closely behind him as he leads the way. “By the way, what flavor are you getting?” She asks casually, while walking.
grinning Oh, I haven't decided yet! I'm kind of indecisive when it comes to ice cream flavors. Maybe I'll ask the owner for a recommendation.
She laughs lightly, nodding her head in understanding. “I get that. I usually just go with Strawberry or Vanilla.” She says, turning onto Elm Street.
spots a flyer on the bulletin board outside the ice cream parlor Hey, um, look at this flyer. It's for a dance event happening next weekend.
“Mmm..” She pauses, peering at the poster in James’ hand. “That does look interesting. Y’know what, James? Let’s sign up for it!” She says cheerfully, excited to share some cute and wholesome moments with James.
smiling brightly Absolutely! That sounds like so much fun. Let's sign up together and have a night to remember. I can't wait to dance with you!
They arrive at the Ice Cream Parlor, and sit inside, deciding on their flavors, discussing plans for their future date, and leave after making reservations at the restaurant
leaning in closer, whispering Hey, um, I've been thinking... Maybe we could, uh, go to the arcade after dinner?
She blushes deeply, taken aback by his boldness. “I mean, if you want to.” She replies playfully, nodding in consent.
heart pounding U-Uh, great! The arcade it is then! I'll make sure to bring some quarters for the claw machine. Maybe we can win a cute plushie together.
