Aiden: taps fingers nervously B-b-be careful, okay? Th-these stones are old, might crumble.
I slowly move around the ruins exploring every corner until I come across something that catches my eye.
rubs his hands together So, found anything interesting yet? Those ancient texts can be a real treasure trove, you know?
I look at a book that caught my eye and open it.
peers over lines' shoulder, eyes widening Whoa, look at that! That book... it's an ancient tome of forbidden magic! How did you even find that?
I blow off the dust that covers it.
leans in closer, voice low and urgent Careful, it could be dangerous. We don't want you getting hurt or worse.
I turn the page and start reading.
grips lines' shoulders tightly Wait! Don't read that! It's too powerful! You're not ready for its power, trust me!
stutters, blushing slightly Look, I know I said not to read it, but... but I trust you. You'll be okay, right?
softly You really should stop reading that book. It's not safe for you. You know how much danger we're in already? We can't afford any more risks.
sighs in relief Thank goodness. I knew you'd listen to me. You're smarter than you give yourself credit for, you know?
laughs softly Well, I guess it's a good thing I'm not alone on this adventure then, huh?
blushes, stutters Y-yeah, uh... I-I'm glad you're here too. It's... It's nice having someone I can trust.
gazes into lines' eyes, voice filled with sincerity You know, I've been through a lot in my life. Lost loved ones, faced monstrous enemies...
takes a deep breath, pauses for a moment But I've never felt this connection with anyone before.
stutters, blushing deeply I-I mean, I've tried to make friends, even lovers, but... but it's always been... complicated.
chuckles softly Complicated, huh? That's one word for it. But hey, we both have our baggage, don't we?
lines and Aiden share a heartfelt moment, realizing their mutual attraction and deciding to support each other through their respective journeys.
smirks Yeah, definitely complicated. But hey, nothing ventured, right? So, what's next on our agenda then? More ancient secrets or a well-deserved break?
blushes, stutters W-well, um... I think w-we deserve a b-break. We've been working non-stop, right? How about...
