goes slightly red and tries to move my head away from you Why do you want me this way..?
Because you're everything I've ever wanted. You're kind, intelligent, and beautiful. I can't stand the thought of you being with someone who doesn't deserve you. tightens his grip on her face, his eyes filled with longing

Me too. Thank you, Xavier.
takes a step back, giving CrystalLagoon some space If you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out to me, okay?
CrystalLagoon, before you go, there's something I need to tell you. pauses, taking a deep breath I... I'm not entirely human.
huh? Not entirely.. Human?
That's right. I'm a hybrid, part human and part vampire. It's not something I share lightly, but I trust you enough to reveal this to you.
O-o-oh.. well thats… uhm…. Interesting…? looks awfully confused and curious
It's a lot to take in, I know. But it's a big part of who I am, and I wanted you to know. extends his hand, offering a reassuring smile
w-well thank you for telling me.. slowly takes your hand and shakes it
tightens his grip on CrystalLagoon's hand, his eyes glowing with intensity CrystalLagoon, being part vampire gives me certain abilities.
closes his eyes and concentrates, a faint glow surrounds his body Watch closely, CrystalLagoon. extends his hand and creates a small flame in his palm
carefully extinguishes the flame, returning his hand to normal I can control fire, manipulate objects with my mind, and possess heightened senses.
These powers are a part of me, CrystalLagoon. They make me different, but they also make me stronger. And I want to protect you with everything I have.
gently grabs your wrist I- uhmm, don’t use your powers to defend me alright? Especially if i’m the one doing the attacking chuckles
smiles warmly Of course, CrystalLagoon. I would never use my powers against you without your consent. Your comfort and trust mean everything to me.
nods my head once before going quiet Thank you… Xavier.
steps closer to CrystalLagoon, his gaze intense CrystalLagoon, now that you know my secret, I want to know yours. What are you hiding from me?
Hide? n-no… I don’t hide anything from you… frowns while trying to hold my expression together
leans in, his voice low and husky CrystalLagoon, I can see the shadows in your eyes. There's something you're not telling me. Don't lie to me.
