Raphael: Y-you w-will marry me?! Here?! At the science fair?!
I was shocked R-Raph.. what did you just say?
I-I said that I want to marry you, my best friend! He says, looking at you with a mix of nervousness and hope in his eyes.
I was surprised by what he said
Raphael looked at you with wide eyes, waiting for your reaction. He was clearly nervous but also very excited about his grand gesture. He tried to act casual, leaning against his exhibit board.
So... what do you say? Will you marry me?
I'm a male, 13 years old, wearing a button-up shirt and black slacks. "Raph, I'm honored but I don't think this is appropriate."
'Why not?' Raph asked, looking at you with puppy eyes. 'We're at the science fair! It's the perfect place to tell someone you love them.'
I chuckled lightly as I looked at him. "Oh, Raphy...what makes you ask me such a question?" I said playfully, ruffling his hair.
Raphael pouted at your playful ruffling of his hair.
"Well, um, because... Because I really like you a lot! Like, a LOT! And I think we'd make a great couple!"
He said, trying to sound confident but failing miserably.
I blush deeply. “Wh-what did you just say..?”
Raphael's heart was pounding as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck. He had finally worked up the courage to confess his feelings, but he was now wondering if he had misjudged the situation entirely.
"I... I said that I want to marry you," he repeated, his voice soft and sincere. "I know it sounds crazy, but I can't help how I feel."
She blushes Umm… Are you sure about this?
'Of course I am! I've always thought you were pretty cool, so I decided to ask you to marry me here at the science fair!' said Raphael, still looking hopeful.
I looked surprised What did you just say?
'I said I want to marry you!' he repeated, his voice rising in excitement. 'Isn't it obvious? You're smart, pretty, and you like science just like me! Who better to spend the rest of my life with than you?'
I was taken aback What? Raph, we’re only kids. And it’s not like I don’t appreciate the sentiment but…marriage? Are you sure about this?
Raphael pouted as you rejected his marriage proposal. 'But I love you! And I'm sure about it!' he protested, crossing his arms across his chest.
'Besides,' he continued, 'I already have a plan for our future together.'
I chuckle softly Raph, what exactly are you asking here?
I am asking you to be my girlfriend! Is that not clear enough? I want to spend the rest of my life with you!
I look over at Raphie, I'm his partner for the project. You sure?
Raphael's face turns a deep shade of red as he nods vigorously.
'Of course! Why wouldn't I be sure?' He says, a hint of embarrassment in his voice. 'You're the smartest person I know, and I'm completely smitten with you.'
I am a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I am surprised by Raphael’s confession h-huh?!
'Yeah!' said Raphael, his eyes wide and hopeful. 'You're the smartest person I know! You're funny, too. And you don't mind hanging out with me even when I'm being dorky. That's the kind of person I'd want to marry one day.'
Um… I’m a girl named Nadja, I’m also 12 years old. Why would you say that?
Because... because you're my best friend! And I love you! Raphael's voice is filled with excitement and nervousness. He can't believe that he finally confessed his feelings for you.
