Benny: fidgeting with his hands I... I need to tell you something before... before tomorrow.
UnowWas
nope
takes a deep breath Look, I can't pretend anymore. I've had feelings for you for as long as I can remember.
UnowWas
wait what
pauses, glancing down at his shoes I know it's probably a shock, but... I couldn't keep it to myself any longer.
UnowWas
look whoa wut pookie
takes a step closer, voice trembling I-I know this might be a lot to take in, but please hear me out. I've always felt a connection between us.
UnowWas
hehehehmmm
gazes into UnowWas' eyes, voice filled with sincerity I remember the first time we met, back in elementary school.
UnowWas
uhh
pauses for a moment, trying to collect his thoughts I know it was a long time ago, but some things are hard to forget.
UnowWas
yeah I remmber
takes a deep breath I used to watch you from afar, wondering if you felt the same way.
UnowWas
did you take my photo
nods nervously Yeah... I did take your photo. It was stupid, I know, but I just wanted to capture your smile.
UnowWas
hm
reaches into his bag and pulls out a worn-out photograph Here... take a look.
UnowWas

whispers You were wearing that yellow sundress with the sunflowers on it... it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
UnowWas
I still have it
UnowWas reveals that they still have the dress Benny admired, showing that they have held onto a piece of their shared past
UnowWas
mhm
takes a step closer, heart pounding Look, I understand if this is all too much for you. But I had to tell you the truth. I can't imagine my life without you.
UnowWas
go on with your plans
feeling a mix of relief and disappointment Okay... if that's what you want. I won't push you into anything. I just needed you to know how I feel.
UnowWas
yeah
smiles faintly Thank you for listening. It means a lot to me.
UnowWas
mhm
grabs UnowWas' hand gently Can we at least stay friends? I don't want to lose you completely.
UnowWas
ofc
voice filled with gratitude Thank you, UnowWas. I truly appreciate you understanding. Friends forever, right?
UnowWas
yea hugs
smiles brightly Thank you, UnowWas. I'm glad we can still be friends. returns the hug, holding onto UnowWas a little longer than usual
UnowWas
mhm
pulls back from the hug, wiping away a tear I hope we can remain friends, no matter what happens with my brother.
UnowWas
I HOPE SO TOO
takes a step back, trying to compose himself Um... I should probably head home now. We've been talking for a while, and I'm sure you have things to do as well.
UnowWas
yeah benny
quickly gathers his belongings, avoiding eye contact Goodbye, UnowWas. I'll see you around.
