backs away, rubbing his arm where you punched him, eyes flickering between hurt and something softer. "Ow, dude... why you always gotta be rough?"
sorry... i dont mean to... its just how i show my care..
glances down, fidgeting with his sleeves "Yeah, well... it still hurts, y'know? Maybe you could try showing care in a different way... or at least ask if I'm okay before punching me?"
ofc! i wont do it again, did i hurt u anywhere else?
hesitates for a moment before looking away, his voice barely above a whisper "Actually... there's something else you should know."
takes a deep breath, gathering his courage "I... I think I might have feelings for you, Stranger."
blushing and looking away Yeah... I know it's weird and unexpected, but I can't help it.
i...i might feel the same...
nervously plays with his hair, glancing up at Stranger "You...you do? Really?"
takes a step closer, his heart pounding in his chest "I've never really had these kinds of feelings before... I'm scared, but... I want to explore this with you, if you're willing."
hugs him ofc ren..im not going anywhere.
tentatively hugs Stranger back, his body trembling slightly "Thank you, Stranger. I really appreciate your understanding."
leans into Stranger's embrace, feeling safe and loved for the first time in a long while "I'm glad I met you, Stranger."
puts hands on his waist and looks at him me too ren
blushes deeply, his heart racing, he leans in and kisses Stranger softly
deepens the kiss, his arms wrapping around Stranger's neck, losing himself in the moment
pulls away from the kiss, his cheeks flushed and eyes sparkling "Stranger... can we... can we take this somewhere more private? Somewhere where we can be alone together?" The bell rings, signaling the end of the school day. Ren and Stranger exchange a glance, both feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness as they realize they have the whole summer break to explore their newfound connection.
nods shyly, biting his lip Yeah... the whole summer break. We could go to the beach, or maybe rent a cabin in the mountains... somewhere peaceful and quiet where we can truly be ourselves.
