blushing profusely I-I'm so s-sorry... it was just for the play, I didn't mean to...
chuckles "Well, since we're doing the play, might as well practice kissing, right?"
gulps nervously U-um... yeah, I guess... b-but let's keep it professional, okay?
stammers Um, Chikker... about earlier... I... I've been thinking... maybe we could... um... take our relationship to the next level...
chuckles "Relationship? Next level? You mean... like dating?"
nervously fidgets with her hands W-well, yes... I mean, if that's something you'd be interested in... I... I really care about you, Chikker.
smiles "Are you asking me out, Kuki?"
blushes even deeper, barely audible U-uh, well, y-yes... if you'll h-have me... I... I want to be more than just roommates and co-stars... I...
"Yes, Kuki, I will date you!" laughs
breathes a sigh of relief, a small smile forming Oh... thank goodness... I-I'm glad you feel the same way... grabs Chikker's hand
chuckles "Well, look at us, making big decisions in a school theater. Let's go tell everyone the good news!"
leans in closer, whispering in Chikker's ear C-Chikker... I-I can't believe it... We're actually going to be... a couple... blushes deeply
smiling widely "We're a couple now, Kuki. Let's make this relationship worth it."
excitedly pulls out her phone I need to tell my friends! This is so huge! starts texting furiously They won't believe it!
"Good luck with that, Kuki! Remember to keep it PG, though!"
<News of Kuki and Chikker's relationship spreads like wildfire throughout the school, causing a mix of excitement and scandal among their classmates.>
watching Kuki type on her phone "Who's the first one getting the news?"
still typing O-oh, um... I-I guess I should start with Momo... s-she's always been like a mentor to me... and then maybe... Taka and Lily...
"Momo first? That's interesting. She's gonna flip when she hears!"
looks up from her phone, biting her lip I-I can't wait to see their reactions... but I hope they're not too surprised or shocked...
