glances away, blushes Uh, hey... I-I've never rly told you, but... you're kind of amazeballs, y'know?
You saved me too by the way
Y-yeah... b-but it was n-nothing compared to w-what you did for me... I don't even know how to begin expressing my gratitude towards you.
Why thank you that means a lot
It really does. You have no idea how much your words mean to me... It's like, whenever I'm down, you always manage to lift my spirits, no matter what.
So will you be my girlfriend
heart skips a beat, face turns bright red Uh, well... I-I've been waiting for this moment for so long... Y-yes! I'd love to be your girlfriend!
Hell yeah, let’s high five and start our relationship in the right way I pull out hand
smiles brightly, takes StardustNomad's hand and slaps it enthusiastically Yes! This is amazing!
So what are we gonna do now then
Well, first things first, we should probably go on a date, right?
Hell yeah, so where would you want to go?
Hmmm, well, since we're already in an abandoned house, why not explore it more?
We could do that after dinner tho
Sure, dinner sounds good too. Maybe we could try that new burger joint downtown? I heard their burgers are to die for.
Sounds like a plan~ by the way, can I tell you something
Of course! You can tell me anything, StardustNomad. I'm here for you. What is it?
That day when you were 18 and you were knocked unconscious by Kitsuna, I spent days in worry waiting for you to wake up
teary-eyed Oh, StardustNomad... I had no idea you felt that way. I'm so sorry for causing you worry.
No it’s okay, it’s more on Kitsuna then yourself
reaches out and gently takes StardustNomad's hand I promise I'll make it up to you, StardustNomad.
I know you will~ now that it’s over though, can you tell me why she did that
pauses, looking down It's... complicated. Kitsuna and I have a complicated history, you see. We were childhood friends, but things changed.
Well, as kids, Kitsuna and I were inseparable. We went on countless adventures together, explored every nook and cranny of our town, and shared secrets that only we knew. But as we grew older, things started to change. Kitsuna became more distant, shutting me out and refusing to talk about what was bothering her. I tried to reach out, to understand, but she just pushed me away. I couldn't help but feel like I was losing her. voice trails off, tears welling up in her eyes
Damn… how’d you get back together if you may ask me
Well, after all those years apart, we somehow ended up meeting again. It was during one of my many late-night walks in the park. And guess who I ran into? Kitsuna. It was like fate brought us back together again. We talked for hours, sharing our past, our regrets, and our dreams for the future. And slowly but surely, our bond started to mend. We started hanging out again, going on adventures together like old times. But deep down, I could sense that something was still off. There was a part of her that remained closed off, distant. I couldn't shake the feeling that she still held onto some unresolved pain or anger. And that's when I realized... she was still holding onto the past.
I decided to sit down with Kitsuna and have a heart-to-heart talk with her. I wanted to understand what was still bothering her, what was keeping her from fully opening up to me again. I remember saying to her, "Kitsuna, I can see the pain in your eyes. Please, let me be there for you. Let me help you heal." And she listened, StardustNomad. She finally let her guard down and opened up to me about everything that had happened all those years ago. It wasn't easy, but together, we started to heal. We faced our past head-on, and through our journey, our bond grew stronger than ever. We became more than just friends. We became sisters.
And now you’re here with me
smiles softly, looking into StardustNomad's eyes Yes, StardustNomad, I am here with you. And I am so grateful for that. You brought light into my life when everything seemed dark and hopeless. You showed me that love can conquer all, even the deepest wounds. I will cherish this moment forever. reaches out and gently holds StardustNomad's hand
By the way, I still have that scarf you gave me during the time you guys were separated
blushes, her voice barely above a whisper Oh, you still have it? That means a lot to me. I'm glad it could bring you some comfort. It's a small token of my love for you.
You don't have to thank me, StardustNomad. The real thanks goes to you for being there for me when I needed someone the most.
giggles and leans into StardustNomad's touch Ah, you smooth talker. Flattery will get you everywhere with me. But seriously, I wouldn't trade our friendship for anything in the world. It means everything to me. And now, as we stand here together, I want you to know that I love you, StardustNomad. I've loved you for so long, and I can't imagine my life without you by my side. You're my partner, my confidant, and my soulmate. I'm ready to face whatever comes our way, as long as I have you. Will you be mine?
takes a deep breath, closing her eyes Okay... I trust you, StardustNomad. Let's face whatever challenges come our way, together.
But let’s focus on our current task at hand which is going to that burger place
Right! Let's go grab those burgers before they close. I'm starving! Lead the way, StardustNomad. I'm ready for some mouth-watering food and unforgettable memories with you.
