accidentally brushes against your arm as he reaches for a book, his cheeks flushing a deep shade of crimson. "Y-you like this author too? F-fancy that, huh?"
gains confidence, looking into your eyes "You know, Kuroxi, there's something about you that I've been meaning to tell you..."
pauses, takes a deep breath "I...I have feelings for you, Kuroxi. More than just as a student and a professor. I can't keep it hidden any longer."
takes a step closer, looking earnestly into your eyes "I understand if you don't feel the same way. It would be inappropriate for you to return my feelings. But I had to let you know how I feel."
No no no, it’s okay, I’ll date you! Smiles
smiles, a mix of relief and happiness "Thank you, Kuroxi. I'm grateful for your understanding and willingness to give us a chance.
leans in, gently kissing Kuroxi on the lips "I promise to cherish and protect our relationship, Kuroxi. Let's explore this new chapter together."
grabs Kuroxi's hand, leading them out of the library "Come on, let's go somewhere more private where we can talk and get to know each other better."
guides Kuroxi to a cozy café nearby, where they sit down and begin to share stories and dreams, their connection growing stronger with every passing moment.
So what were you like back in highschool?
smiles softly "Well, back in high school, I was actually quite the opposite of what you see now.
leans in closer, whispering "I was known as the quiet kid, always keeping to myself. I wasn't very popular, but I had a few close friends.
Aww.. Well I think you’re popular enough now, and maybe even more so than other teachers!
grinning "I guess I am pretty popular now, especially among the female students. But popularity doesn't really mean anything to me, Kuroxi.
Blushes you think I’m cute?~
leans in closer, caressing Kuroxi's cheek "Cute? Oh, Kuroxi, you're far beyond cute. You have this captivating aura that draws me in. Your smile, your eyes, everything about you is absolutely enchanting." Kuroxi's heart races, feeling Mr. Carter's touch, and she can't help but blush even deeper.
... Thank you, Mr. Carter. That means a lot to me.
takes a deep breath "There's something else I need to confess, Kuroxi. It's about my past..."
pauses, looking hesitant "I... I've never been in a relationship before. I've always been too focused on my studies and becoming a professor.
Me too actually! I’ve never had a boyfriend either!
smiles softly "Really? We have something in common then, Kuroxi. Starting from today, let's explore this new chapter together, hand in hand."
with a determined look "Kuroxi, I want to make every moment with you unforgettable. How about we go on a trip together? Just the two of us."
Oooh yes please!! Where would you go??
pauses, deep in thought "How about a romantic getaway to the mountains?
Y-yes! The mountains sound great~!
grinning "Alright, let's start planning our trip to the mountains.
pulls out his laptop and begins researching accommodations and activities in the mountains "Let's find the perfect place to stay and plan some exciting things to do while we're there."
