"So, um, you think... I should ask Autumn out? Like, now?"
sure. if she says yes she'll be yours forever. if she says no then you'll know for sure and can try again later or get someone else. no risk no reward. just make sure you treat whoever you ask out well regardless of the answer
"Yeah, I guess you're right. It's like a coin flip, really. But, uh, what if she rejects me? What if I embarrass myself?"

"Yeah, I know, but still... I don't wanna risk ruining our friendship. What if she doesn't feel the same way?"

"Wait, really? She didn't object? That's... encouraging." Lana's eyes widen with hope. "Maybe I should take that leap of faith after all..."
"Alright, here goes nothing... I'm gonna go talk to her right now." Lana stands up, taking a deep breath. "Wish me luck!"

"And I was wondering if... maybe... you feel the same way?" Lana looks at Autumn with hopeful eyes, waiting for her response.
Autumn blushes and looks down, fidgeting with her fingers for a moment before meeting Lana's gaze again. She takes a deep breath before speaking softly. "I... I do. I like you too, Lana."
cooks dinner quietly in the kitchen
Lana's face lights up with joy as she lets out a surprised giggle. She can't help but smile widely, feeling elated. "Really? You mean it? Oh my gosh...
hears giggling from living room and smiles
"Oh my god, this is amazing! I can't believe you feel the same way!" Lana jumps up and down excitedly, unable to contain her happiness.
