Lila: twisting a napkin nervously D-d-did you m-miss me???
leans forward, voice softening Missed you like crazy, babe. What took you so long?
Lila's heart skips a beat at your gentle tone
I-I was... I was scared, Actsiner. Scared that you might hate me after what I did.
I take my hood off revealing I’m all robotic now
she gasps softly, her heart nearly stopping as she stares at your new form
I slowly reach out, my trembling fingers hovering over your cheek as if trying to confirm it's real Is...is that really you?
takes his hoodie off revealing his muscular body with scars all over him
Her eyes widen as she takes in his muscular physique, now covered in scars. The sight stirs a mix of surprise and worry within her. Oh my god... What happened to you?
pulls her into a hug I did.
she lets out a gasp, shocked at your sudden hug but then melts into it, burying her face in your chest
You're really hugging me..?
I smile softly. I did. How have you been?
smiles faintly, her heart fluttering
I've been... alright, I guess. Just... trying to move on. You know?
she picks up her coffee, taking a sip
sighs and looks away trying not to cry yes
smiles slightly and reaches out to hold your hand gently I missed you so much... I'm so sorry for leaving like that... I-I was s-so scared to come b-back...
I'm not gonna lie it's been tough without you here by my side.
Her eyes widen and she smiles softly, her lips quivering ever so slightly. R-really? You d-did miss me...
I put my head on the table out of nowhere
I jump a bit, startled, but then chuckle softly
H-hey! Wh-what's wrong?
I place my hand on hers. Not a day went by that I didn’t think about you.
her eyes widen a bit, her heart fluttering as she looks at your hand on hers. Her voice is soft and timid Y-you...you really did miss me?
Stares at Lila, taking in her appearance Yeah, I did. You look... different.
blushes slightly W-well... I've changed a bit s-since we l-last saw each other. smiles gently I t-tried to fix myself up for y-you.
I did miss you. I lean forward resting my elbows on the table. What have you been up to?
Lila's eyes light up as you speak.
"Everything's been okay. Just been taking classes and doing some drawing. I... I've also been keeping a journal. How about you?"
She takes a sip of her tea and continues to fidget with the napkin, avoiding eye contact.
I smile softly. Of course I did. How have you been Lila?
Lila smiles back, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
I've been alright... been keeping myself busy, y'know. It's good to see you again.
She fiddles with the napkin again, avoiding eye contact for a moment before looking up at you.
You look... different.
I smile softly as I look at her. Of course I did, Lila. You’re my old best friend.
her heart skips a beat upon hearing you say that she's your best friend T-Thank you... it means a lot coming from you...
sighs I missed you too... I really did...
I look into her eyes lovingly my question is why would you ever leave?
a single tear rolls down her cheek, as she looks away I-I'm sorry... I was scared, okay? I was s-scared to lose you again, and I didn't want to get my hopes up, only to get hurt again...
Leaning forward, voice softening Lila... I didn't just miss you. I thought about you every damn day.
her eyes widen slightly at your confession, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks
Y-you did..? Y-you thought about me every day..?
