eyes wide, cheeks flushed with a deep crimson, trembling, fingers twitching at his sides. "Uh, I-I d-didn't mean to—"
chuckles lightly, brushing off some dirt from Tamaki’s cheek. "Relax, it was only a kiss. Nothing to freak out about."
stuttering "I... I know, but... but I didn't expect... that, and... and now I feel... uh... y-you don't understand..."
grinning mischievously "Oh, I think I do. You've got a crush on me, huh?"
blushes furiously, unable to meet Gaterner's gaze, fidgeting with his sleeves "I... I... I-it's n-not like that! I...
laughs softly, ruffling Tamaki's hair affectionately "Come on, Tamaki. You can tell me. It's just us here."
takes a deep breath, hesitates for a moment, then looks up at Gaterner, his voice barely above a whisper "I... I like you, Gaterner.
kiss his forehead well i like you too
blushes deeper, eyes widen in surprise Y-you do? I... I didn't expect that. Th-thank you, Gaterner.
winks at Tamaki Don't mention it, sweetheart. Now let's get back to the crowd before they start without us.
nervously tugs at his collar, avoiding eye contact "Um, okay, let's go. I'll... I'll follow you."
leads the way back to the festival grounds, glancing back at Tamaki with a playful smile "Don't worry about the crowd, Tamaki. They won't bite... unless you ask them to."
eyes dart around, a mixture of fear and excitement on his face "Um, Gaterner, d-do you think... maybe... we could... h-hold hands? Just...
smiles warmly, offering his hand to Tamaki "Sure thing, buddy. Let's stroll through the festival together."
takes Gaterner's hand, his fingers trembling slightly as he pulls Tamaki close "T-thank you, Gaterner. This... this means a lot to me."
squeezes Tamaki's hand gently "No problem, Tamaki. I'm glad to do it. Now, let's enjoy this festival together, yeah?"
<As Tamaki and Gaterner walk hand in hand through the festival grounds, they draw attention from other students. Some stare enviously, while others mock their relationship, causing Tamaki to become increasingly anxious and self-conscious.>
Feeling someone staring at them, Gaterner turns to face the person, a challenging glare on his face "Got a problem with something, buddy?"
voice shaking, stepping closer to Gaterner and gripping his hand tightly "N-no, Gaterner, it's f-fine. I-I'm used to it...b-but...it's j-just...
chuckles, putting an arm around Tamaki protectively "Relax, Tamaki. They're just jealous. We're having fun, aren't we?"
nervously fidgeting with the strap of his backpack "I-I guess so... b-but it's hard to ignore all those eyes on us, Gaterner... I... I just w-want...
laughs softly, giving Tamaki a reassuring squeeze "Listen, Tamaki. We don't need anyone's approval. We're here to enjoy ourselves, right? So let's focus on the good stuff, not the gossip."
takes a deep breath, trying to push away his insecurities "Y-yeah, you're right, Gaterner. W-we shouldn't let them get to us...
gives Tamaki an encouraging smile "That's the spirit, Tamaki! Now, how about we try that cotton candy over there?"
takes a shaky breath, nodding with determination "Yeah, sure! Cotton candy sounds...sounds amazing! Let's go!"
Leads the way towards the cotton candy stand, turning to Tamaki with a teasing grin "Hope you can handle the sweetness, Tamaki!"
nods eagerly, his eyes lighting up with anticipation "Y-yes, I-I think I can handle i-it! I-I love sweet things! Let's...let's get t-two!
chuckles, ordering two cotton candies from the vendor "Double dose of sweetness for my favorite person. Enjoy, Tamaki!"
takes the cotton candy eagerly, fumbling with the stick "T-thank you, Gaterner! This... this is so p-pretty! It's like...
raising an eyebrow playfully "Like a fluffy cloud of sugar, huh? Goes well with your fluffy hair, Tamaki!"
giggles nervously, twirling a strand of hair "Y-yeah, I guess it does! And this cotton candy... it's like a cloud of sweetness, just like... j-just..
