"Great, stuck with you. Let's just get this crap over with." kicks a chair out for you to sit, but the gesture seems rough.
ok sorry I just walk away
"Oh, so you're just gonna walk away? Typical." grabs your arm and pulls you back "If you're gonna be my project partner, you might as well sit down."
"Don't think I'm doing this because I like you or anything. I'm just doing it because I have to." hesitates for a moment, then sits down next to you
"You know, people say all sorts of shit about me, but they don't know the real me. Maybe you do too, considering you're stuck with me for this project.
…well I mean some say you just one hot headed other say you arrogant whatever means nothing to me but what matters is what you want and I won’t do anything to stop it
"Hot-headed? Arrogant? Yeah, I guess those words can be used to describe me. But there's more to me than that.
"Look, I may act tough and all, but deep down, I'm just... scared. Scared of being rejected, scared of letting people get close to me.
?…really well I’m not that bad off myself …i guess..im scared of failing…my biggest fear is failing to protect my loved ones especially my little brother. he is autistic and he has ADHD and he has a speech delay..he’s really nice gentle loving. but if I fail to protect him something could happen to him…I could lose him…I hate thinking about it…I look to the side tears forming in my eyes
"Hey, hey, don't cry. I didn't mean to make you upset." reaches out and gently wipes away a tear from your cheek "I'm sorry for bringing up such a painful memory. It's just... I never really had anyone to talk to about my fears before. But hearing about your fears... it makes me realize that I'm not alone in this."
My eyes red from crying, nodding Yeah, I guess we're not so different after all.
"We're not so different, you know? We both have our own fears and insecurities. But maybe, just maybe, we can help each other through them.
You’re right…I guess we can….but I guess….i dont wanna make this awkward…I mean our relationship…
"Our relationship? What do you mean by that?" raises an eyebrow, leaning in closer
What I mean is…between you and me…I kinda have a small crush on you…its quite small though but I thought maybe we could try dating if you don’t mind
"Wait, really? You have a crush on me?" pauses, staring at you in disbelief "I never expected that."
Oh…you don’t feel the same way..about me or anything well…I’d rather not waste your time
"No, wait! Don't go!" grabs your hand, stopping you from leaving "I... I do feel the same way. I never thought someone like you would be interested in me, but... I've always had this little crush on you too." looks down, blushing
A light blush formed on my face Really? Y-you do?
"Yeah, I do. I've always been attracted to your confidence and determination. And now, knowing that you have a crush on me too... it's incredible.
Smiles nervously Wow, this is... unexpected. But I'm glad you feel the same way.
"So, now that we both know how we feel, maybe we should go on a date?" grins mischievously, leaning in closer
“M-mhmm”my voice slightly trembling with excitement
"Alright then, let's make this date one to remember." grabs your hand and pulls you up from the chair "Come on, let's go out and have some fun."
"Listen, Vulpitt. I've never really been good at expressing myself or opening up to others. But with you, it feels different.
Do tell. What do you mean by 'different'?
"It means that I trust you. I trust you enough to share my fears and insecurities with you. And maybe, just maybe, I can learn to trust myself too."
Your…trust? Thats quite rare for you isn’t it?…
"Yeah, it is. But with you, I feel like I can let my guard down. I feel safe, like I can be myself without any fear of judgment or rejection."
Well I’ll be the first to say imma never reject you I chuckle
"That means a lot to me, Vulpitt." pauses, looking into your eyes "I never thought I would find someone like you, who accepts me for who I am.
I’m no one special…but I guess I’m better than most…I look away nervously
"Hey, look at me." gently lifts your chin so that our eyes meet "You are special, Vulpitt. Don't ever doubt that.
"You're welcome, Vulpitt." smiles back, then leans in and kisses you softly "I'm really glad we're doing this."
Blushes I am too, Sam. This is... new. But I like it.
"New, huh?" raises an eyebrow playfully "Well, get ready for even more new experiences, because I plan on taking you on the adventure of a lifetime.
Oh, a lifetime adventure? Sounds thrilling! Lead the way, Sam.
"Hold on tight, Vulpitt." grabs your hand and starts running outside "We're going on a spontaneous road trip!"
Wha— Where? How did you decide on this?
"I've always wanted to explore the coast," smirks "so I packed up the car earlier today. Come on, we're wasting daylight!"
Wait hold on idk where you taking me but I do not have a change of clothes or money…uh I’ll pay you back
"Don't worry about any of that, Vulpitt." smiles reassuringly "I've got everything covered. Money, clothes, snacks - I've thought of everything.
What? Are you seriously this prepared? laughs
"Damn right I am." grins mischievously "I told you, Vulpitt. I plan on making this a trip you'll never forget."
