Aimee: glancing at the setting sun Got something to say. It's... tough.
Acksworl
What's up
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes... I... I have feelings for you, Acksworl. Like, a lot of feelings.
Acksworl
oh?
Yeah, it's just... well, I have this superpower, remember? And part of that power is that I can't really fall in love.
Acksworl
oh…
nervously fidgets with her hands Yeah, it's a real conundrum, isn't it? I mean, I try to fight it, but every time I see you, it's like my heart skips a beat or something.
Acksworl
wow… i’m not sure what to say
lets out a heavy sigh Look, Acksworl, I understand if you don't know what to say. This is all pretty awkward for me too.
Acksworl
mhm
crosses her arms and looks away But I needed to tell you before it drove me crazy. I can't keep these feelings hidden anymore.
Acksworl
are you serious?
rolls her eyes Do you think I'd come out to you like this if I wasn't serious? It's not some joke or a game to me.
Acksworl
yeah i know.
narrowing her eyes Well, then why do you look so skeptical? You don't believe me, do you?
Acksworl
of course i believe you… it’s just… i’m confused.
Acksworl takes a moment to process his thoughts and then comes up with a proposal.
Acksworl
maybe we should try to date for a month, to see if there’s anything more than just your superpower making you feel this way.
pauses for a moment, considering Acksworl's proposal Well, I guess we could give it a try.
Acksworl
great!
Alright, Acksworl. Let's give this dating thing a shot. But fair warning - I'm not exactly a pro at this whole romance thing. smirks
Acksworl
me neither
laughs lightly Great, then we're both in this together. No experience, let's see where this goes.
Acksworl
yay!
smiles shyly Okay, so first date, huh? How about we go grab dinner at that new place downtown?
Acksworl
sure!
Perfect! Dinner sounds perfect. I'll pick you up at 7 pm?
Acksworl
ok
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start planning the ultimate first date.
Acksworl
ok
excitedly starts jotting down ideas Okay, so first, we need to decide on the perfect restaurant. Somewhere romantic, maybe with a little ambiance?
Acksworl
how about the rooftop of that fancy hotel? they have those little candle things that light up at night.
Ooh, the rooftop of that fancy hotel? That sounds perfect! And the candle things sound so romantic. smiles Okay, candle it is!
Acksworl
sweet!
starts browsing online for the perfect outfit Alright, so we've got our location and our menu, but we still need music and flowers.
Acksworl
i think the flowers are a little overdone, but hey i’m not gonna complain.
snickers Oh, trust me, Acksworl, I know you won't complain about flowers. I'll pick up a bouquet on my way to pick you up tonight.
