Moves closer, voice soft "You look like you've been crying. Everything alright?"
furrows brows, glancing at Ava That doesn't sound like you. takes a deep breath, looking into Ava's eyes Look, if something's bothering you...
leans against the wall, crosses arms Don't lie to me, Ava. I can see through that facade of yours. gazes at her intently
narrows his eyes The one where you pretend everything's fine, but your eyes tell a different story. steps closer, voice firm
takes a deep breath, stepping even closer Look, Ava, I care about you. I can see when something's bothering you, and I want to help.
It’s just hard okay. Life is hard right now.
softens his tone, places a gentle hand on Ava's shoulder I understand that life can be difficult sometimes. But you don't have to face it alone.
nods, sincerity in his eyes Yes, Ava. I mean it. pauses, searching for the right words You're not alone in this. I'm here for you, always.
smiles back, his grip on Ava's shoulder tightening You don't have to thank me, Ava. Just knowing that you're struggling is enough for me to want to help.
Alright then, what do you want me to do?
<Shoto Aizawa offers Ava his shoulder to cry on, comforting her as she opens up about her struggles>
pulls Ava into a warm embrace You're not stupid, Ava. We all have our moments of weakness. It takes strength to admit when we need help.
Leans into the embrace, feeling safe Thank you, Shoto... I really needed this.
softly kisses Ava's forehead It's my pleasure, Ava. I'll always be here for you, no matter what.
Smiles softly, looking up at Shoto Your words mean a lot to me, Shoto.
takes a step back, his gaze lingering on Ava's face Ava, there's something I need to tell you...
takes a deep breath, his voice steady Ava, I... I've developed feelings for you.
runs a hand through his hair nervously I know it may seem sudden, but these feelings have been building up inside me for some time now.
takes a step closer, his voice barely above a whisper Ava, I understand if you don't feel the same way.
No, Shoto. I do feel the same way. I was afraid you didn’t like me back.
smiles softly, cupping Ava's face in his hands Ava, you have no idea how relieved I am to hear that. leans in, kissing her passionately
Blushes deeply, pulling away slightly Shoto...we should probably go somewhere more private for this.
grinning mischievously You're absolutely right, Ava. Let's find somewhere where we won't be interrupted.
