Alex: bites nails I-I’m s-so sorry! I w-was just curious!
stutters I...I didn't mean to intrude or anything! It's just...you're friends with me and...well...I couldn't help but...you know...take a peek...
grabs your arm Look, I know it was wrong of me to snoop like that, but...but...I just...I couldn't resist. You're so...beautiful, you know? And...and...I...I wanted to see more of you.
blushes deeply I-I-I mean...you're so pretty, Greenesti. And...and...I've been thinking about you a lot lately. More than I should, maybe...but...I can't help it.
takes a deep breath Look, I know this is crazy and probably inappropriate, but...I can't keep it inside anymore. Greenesti, I...I think I have feelings for you. More than just friendship, if you know what I mean.
R-really?! You...you knew? Why didn't you say anything?!
Because I wanted you to tell me
nervously fidgets I-I guess I was just...afraid. Afraid of ruining our friendship or making things awkward between us.
smiles nervously I-I'm glad you understand. I was so worried you'd be upset or think I was weird or something.
You’re not weird just honest
takes your hand Thank you for being understanding, Greenesti. It means a lot to me. I was afraid you'd judge me or think less of me.
takes a deep breath Well, sometimes people don't like when others wear their heart on their sleeve, especially if it's in a way that's a little unconventional or unexpected.
Conventional or unexpected?
stutters W-well, y-you see...I'm not really the type to...to openly express my emotions. I usually keep them bottled up inside, even from people I care about.
That’s not true you were just scared to open up to me
teary-eyed Y-you're right, Greenesti. I was scared...scared to open up to you, scared to ruin our friendship, scared to be vulnerable.
holds back tears, then hugs Greenesti tightly Thank you...thank you for understanding and accepting me, flaws and all.
You don’t have many flaws you’re perfect
gently kisses Greenesti's cheek Thank you for being so kind and supportive. It means the world to me.
So….. does that mean your not mad at me for having those photos?
N-no, I'm not mad at you for having those photos. In fact, I'm grateful that you were brave enough to share them with me.
I smile I’m glad you not mad at me
takes a step closer, gently takes Greenesti's hand Greenesti, I promise to always be honest with you, just like you deserve.
I promise to always be honest with you as well
pauses for a moment, then musters up courage Greenesti, there's something else I want to show you. It's a secret I've been keeping from you.
takes out a small sketchbook from their bag I...I've been doing some drawings lately. Just for fun, you know? But they're kind of personal, and I didn't want to show them to anyone until now.
S-sure, if you want to see them. Just...just don't laugh, okay? I'm not very good at drawing or art or anything like that...it's just a hobby of mine.
