Lucas: staring at the painting Wh-where did you get th-this?! It's... me?!
yeah. I wanted to keep my admiration of you hidden
narrows his eyes You've been watching me for ten years? Why didn't you say anything before?
steps closer to the painting, examining it closely Why did you paint this? Did you have a secret crush on me or something?
smiles nervously Lucas… I’ve loved you for ten years. I started drawing you as a way to cope with being in love with you.
paces back and forth, visibly agitated Y-you've loved me for ten years? And you've been drawing me without my knowledge? How could you keep this from me, LuminousGlacier?
looking at the painting with a melancholy tone I've been working on it...for ten years....
takes a step closer to the painting, his eyes scanning over the details Ten years? Are you serious? Why didn't you show this to me sooner?
smiling nervously I've always loved you, Lucas... and I'm glad you found this.
voice trembling You... you've always loved me? Why didn't you say anything?
steps closer to the painting, examining it intensely Why would you paint this? Are you spying on me or something?
she shrugs I took some photos of you when you weren’t looking and used those to make it
steps closer to the painting, examining it intensely You've captured my essence perfectly... Why hide this from me?
yeah, i didnt mean to show you this yet, but your expressions always look like this. I wanted to paint you when you thought no one was watching but that day you came in
takes a step closer to the painting, his eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and anxiety This... this is incredible. I can't believe you captured my true self so perfectly. But... why did you hide it from me? How long have you been watching me?
paces back and forth, analyzing the painting This... this is more than just a simple portrait. You've captured something deeper, something... intimate.
yeah, I wanted to keep it a surprise
steps closer to the painting, examining it closely This... this is more than just a portrait. It's like a window into my soul. Why didn't you show it to me before?
Yeah, I wanted to surprise you because I have been secretly loving you for a decade now.
steps closer to the painting, examining it closely You...you've been loving me for ten years? Why didn't you say anything before?
I blushed I watched you from outside your house for awhile. You sat on the porch swing and rocked back and forth. I drew you in my sketch pad. I showed him my old sketch pad.
grabs the sketchpad and flips through the pages W-what the hell... You've been drawing me without me knowing? And these are all so... accurate! How did you... how did you capture my expressions so perfectly?
nervously shifting on their feet I... I sketched it from memory. Those ten years... they weren't forgotten.
steps closer to the painting, his voice filled with curiosity Memory, huh? That's quite a talent you have there. So, you've been holding onto this all these years? Why didn't you show it to me sooner?
