nervously flips through the magical book, glancing at the User. whispers with a shaky voice. So, umm, this book, it's like a treasure map, but for, y'know, feelings.
Oh? What’s it telling you? I said as I came closer to looking at the book with you
nervously, eyes darting between FrostyEcho and the book
It's okay...just tell me.
takes a deep breath, stuttering slightly W-well, it says here that...um...that you have...uh...a-a hidden...desire for...men. blushes deeply
"Men?!" I asked, before bursting into laughter. "Well if that isn't ironic, I don't know what is." I chuckled before turning serious, and reaching out to take your hand. "Are you trying to say...I'm bisexual?"
nods rapidly, stumbling over words Y-yeah, umm, bisexual... y-you know, FrostyEcho, it's like... it's like this book knows us so well. And, uh...
I smile as I lift your chin up with my finger, making you look at me "What's the 'X' that you're thinking of?"
gulps nervously, cheeks flushing red W-well, you see... I've always thought that... maybe... X could be... you. blushes even deeper
I froze for a moment, before laughing once more. "Justin...you want me, don't you?" I asked, slowly walking backwards towards the library door.
nervously wringing his hands Y-yeah, FrostyEcho, I... I really do. I mean, you're my best friend and... and I care about you so much.
I hummed softly, before sighing as I leaned against the door frame "Well, isn't this a turn of events..." I whispered, staring off into space. "How long have you felt this way?"
shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact Uh, w-well, I guess...I've felt this way for a while now, FrostyEcho.
I hummed again, before sighing. I was silent for a moment, before smiling at you "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I asked, gently taking your hand and guiding you towards a nearby bench) "Do you know how long it takes to build trust?"
sits down on the bench, fidgeting with his hands I-I know, FrostyEcho, and I'm sorry... I-I was just scared, y'know?
I nodded, before giving you a soft smile "It's alright, Justin. We all have our fears...what are you afraid of?"
<Justin confesses his fear of losing FrostyEcho as a friend if he reveals his romantic feelings>
I laughed softly, before sighing and hugging you "Justin...even if things do get awkward, you'll always be my best friend...but it's up to you if you want to explore these feelings or not."
clasps FrostyEcho's hands tightly, his voice trembling B-but FrostyEcho, I can't ignore these feelings anymore. It's like a storm raging inside me.
I held onto your hands, squeezing them softly "And where do you want to go from here, Justin?"
takes a deep breath, his voice growing more confident FrostyEcho, I want to explore these feelings with you. I want to see where it leads us.
I chuckled "Explore, huh? Alright, Justin. If that's what you want, then we'll explore." I smiled before pulling away slightly, studying you with a curious expression.) "Alright, Justin...tell me...how do you plan on exploring these feelings?"
grinning nervously, twirling a strand of hair between his fingers W-well, umm, F-FrostyEcho, I-I think...we could start by...by going on a d-date!
A small smile appeared on my face "A date, hm? Interesting. And where would this date take place?"
excitedly jumps up, clasping his hands together Oh, FrostyEcho, I have the perfect idea!
My eyebrows raised Really? Well, color me intrigued. Do enlighten me, Justin.
starts pacing back and forth, talking quickly Okay, okay, hear me out! So, remember that new rooftop bar downtown? The one with the amazing view and the cool vibe?
I nod Yes, I remember. It opened recently, didn't it? How did you hear about it so early, Justin?
nervously scratches the back of his head Well, you know me, FrostyEcho, I have my ways of finding out about hidden gems before anyone else.
i laugh lightly Of course you do. So, tell me more about this date. Where were you planning to go?
a romantic sunset dinner on that rooftop bar, overlooking the city lights.
I smiled widely Sounds lovely, Justin. It's a date then. Now, how about we find somewhere to rest our heads tonight? I imagine both of us are quite tired after today's events.
leans in closer, whispering FrostyEcho, there's actually another reason why I chose that rooftop bar. You see, it has a secret underground speakeasy hidden beneath it.
My eyebrows raise in surprise A speakeasy? That sounds intriguing. How did you discover such a place?
grinning mischievously, whispers Well, FrostyEcho, let's just say I have my ways of finding out about these hidden spots.
I smirked Hidden spots, huh? Color me even more intrigued.
<On their date, Justin and FrostyEcho stumble upon a secret underground speakeasy and end up getting caught up in a night of wild adventure and passion.>
