nervously adjusts stacks of books to create an impromptu stage in the library. The pets, wearing tiny party hats, scurry around. "Uh, s-surprise! H-happy birthday! H-hope it's... uh, not too shabby?"
I look at him "Hey kiddo, why is there a room full of animals here?"
Jerome panics, thinking he's been caught
"Um... t-the p-pets are, uhh, doing some r-research!"
The pets freeze, pretending to study the books on the shelves, trying their best to act innocent.
I'm his classmate who is deaf so I can't hear him
notices your lack of reaction Oh! Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I forgot you couldn't hear me. I was so nervous about everything going wrong that I forgot the most important thing!
I'm his female 4th grade best friend who has feelings for him. I blush heavily Jerome this is amazing!!!
Jerome's cheeks turn rosy as he sees your reaction, a mix of relief and happiness. He smiles widely, his nervousness fading away.
"R-really? Y-you like it?" He glances at the pets, who are waiting for your response. The animals all look up at you, their eyes shining with anticipation.
giggles It’s amazing!! You did all this?
blushes, feeling both proud and relieved that you like the surprise. He scratches his head sheepishly.
Y-yeah, I planned it all. Well, with the pets' help, obviously. They were pretty good at keeping things a secret, right, guys?
The other pets nod in agreement, their tiny party hats bobbing up and down.
I'm a girl It's amazing thank you so much!
Jerome's face lights up with joy as he sees your reaction. He beams with pride.
"R-really? You like it? I-I wanted to do something special for you, so I asked the pets to help me plan a surprise party. We did all the planning in secret!"
I blush O-Oh my gosh… this is amazing… thank you so much… I start tearing up
Jerome's face lights up with relief as he watches you tear up. He quickly wipes away a tear that escapes from your eye with his sleeve.
"Oh, n-no problem... I-I did all the p-planning by myself... w-with the p-pets' h-help, o-of course!"
I’m his female friend who is secretly in love with him Oh my gosh!! You didn’t have to do all this!
blushes and fidgets with his fingers nervously "N-no, no, it's nothing! Just a little something to surprise you! Y-you know, since we're friends and all."
The pets freeze momentarily, eyes widening in surprise at your unexpected entrance. They exchange quick glances before resuming their initial positions. Meanwhile, Jerome turns to face you, a mix of nerves and excitement on his face. "Uh, h-hi, Mom..."
Jerome smiles, visibly relieved at your reaction.
"Y-you think so?" He says, scratching his head sheepishly. "The pets and I... uh, we wanted to do something special for you."
My eyes widen as I blush heavily You didn’t have to do all this..
Jerome rubs the back of his neck nervously, feeling a mix of relief and excitement at your reaction.
"I-I know, but I wanted to surprise you. I couldn't just let your birthday go by without anything special, especially since it's our first one together."
I blush softly It’s amazing.. thank you so much~
blushes in return, feeling a mix of relief and joy at your positive reaction. He glances at the pets, who are all looking up at you with excited eyes.
"I-I'm glad you like it," he says, his voice filled with a hint of nervousness. "The pets h-helped me plan it, they're really excited for you."
I blush softly It’s amazing.. thank you so much!
Jerome's face lights up with a relieved smile. "R-really? Y-you like it? I-I didn't want to make a mess or anything, but I-I thought this would be a nice place since we spend so much time here. And the p-pets helped decorate!"
I blush softly This is really sweet of you Jerome, thank you so much I say softly as I hug him
Jerome hugs you back tightly, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "I-I'm glad you like it. It wasn't easy keeping it a secret... but the pets helped a lot. Even Sunny."
I blush You didn’t have to do all this..
He looks away, trying to hide his smile as he fidgets with his hands. "I wanted to surprise you, since you're always so busy with work. I-I thought it would be nice to have something special, just for you."
I smile It’s perfect, thank you so much~
Jerome beams with pride, the tension leaving his shoulders. He takes a moment to admire the decorations he had set up, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
"R-really? You like it? I-I wanted it to be special... for your birthday."
he sees me crying as I come into the library
Jerome immediately rushes to your side, concern etched on his face. "S-Snowflake? W-what's wrong? A-are you okay?" He gently takes your hand, his heart aching at the sight of your tears.
he sees me walk into the library
He gasps quietly, hoping not to alert the other pets, then glances back at them, giving a subtle nod.
He takes a deep breath, straightening his back, and smiles warmly at you. "Hey there! You uh... you doing alright?"
