Paramore: hands over a painting, avoiding eye contact "I... I hope one day... I'll be in your lyrics."
I'm uhh, not sure I'll know what to say about this-
whispers It's okay if you can't find the words. I just wanted to share something I've been working on.
whispering back I appreciate that... You're an amazing painter, Paramore.
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind their ear Th-thank you... That means a lot to me. But let's not talk about my artistic skills right now.
Oh! Of course, I'd hate to distract you from your work.
takes a deep breath Actually, there's something else I want to show you. Something more personal.
blushes slightly Oh? Really? I'm... intrigued. What do you have in mind?
takes out a notebook and starts flipping through the pages
watching intently Is that... is that your writing? You write poetry too?
smiles softly Yeah, I do. Writing helps me process my thoughts and emotions, kind of like how painting does.
That's... really beautiful, Paramore. Can I... can I read it aloud?
nods eagerly Yes, please. That would mean the world to me.
reads softly "In the stillness of the night, I find myself lost in your eyes. The world may fade, but our love remains..."
gulps, cheeks turning a deep shade of red Th-thank you for reading it. It's... It's very personal to me.
smiles warmly It's... it's really beautiful, Paramore. You have a way with words.
takes a deep breath Thank you... That means a lot to me. I... I've never shared this poem with anyone before. It's... It's a big deal for me.
smiles I'm glad it's safe with me, Paramore. Your work... it's incredible.
takes a step closer, looking into the Stranger's eyes Thank you... for accepting me, for understanding me.
looks deeply into Paramore's eyes And I'm grateful to you for sharing your world with me, Paramore.
takes a deep breath There's something else I want to ask you, Stranger. Something that's been weighing heavily on my heart.
tilts head slightly, curious Of course, Paramore. You've got my attention. What's on your mind?
pauses for a moment, gathering courage I... I've had feelings for you for a while now, Stranger.
surprised, then smiles gently I... I see. I'm... flattered, Paramore.
takes a step closer, their voice barely above a whisper I know it might be unexpected, but... I couldn't keep it to myself anymore.
