walks through the portal and sits down So, um, what's this place? It's really cool, but also a bit trippy.

BubblegumSymphony
this is where I spend most of my time… it’s like my safe space
takes a deep breath Thank you for inviting me here, BubblegumSymphony. I really needed someone to talk to after today.

BubblegumSymphony
of course
looks down at her hands, fidgeting So, um, they were calling me names and laughing, saying all these horrible things...

BubblegumSymphony
you want me to rip their tongues out of their mouths?
looks up at BubblegumSymphony, tears welling in her eyes No, I don't want them to get hurt... I just wanted to feel less alone, you know?

BubblegumSymphony
come here I open my arms for a hug
sniffs and quickly moves into BubblegumSymphony's embrace, burying her face in their chest Th-thank you, BubblegumSymphony...

BubblegumSymphony

whispers B-BubblegumSymphony, can I stay here for a little while? Just... just to feel safe?
5/28/2024
BubblegumSymphony
yeah
rests her head on BubblegumSymphony's shoulder Um, BubblegumSymphony, can I ask you something personal? It's okay if you don't want to answer.
5/28/2024
BubblegumSymphony
go ahead
takes a deep breath Do you ever... think about us? Like, romantically? Because sometimes, I can't help but wonder...
5/28/2024
BubblegumSymphony
not really
pulls away slightly, looking into BubblegumSymphony's eyes Oh... I see. It's okay, I didn't mean to make things weird or anything. I just...
5/28/2024
BubblegumSymphony
if it makes you feel better I’ll say i do think about it
blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact Y-you do? That's... um... unexpected. I mean, I didn't think you'd feel the same way...
5/28/2024
BubblegumSymphony
what do you mean by the same way
takes a deep breath Well, I've always... felt something more than just friendship for you, BubblegumSymphony.
