O-okay... I dare you to... to kiss me.
PeachyBoredom

blushes deeply, heart pounding T-thank you... I... I really like you, you know? And I-I'm not just talking about the homework. I-I...
PeachyBoredom

I... I really have feelings for you. I've liked you for a while now, and I just wanted to be honest with you.
PeachyBoredom

swallows nervously I-I understand if you don't feel the same way. It's okay... really. I just wanted to get it off my chest.
PeachyBoredom

heart skips a beat, smiles brightly R-really? Y-you mean it?
PeachyBoredom

grabs PeachyBoredom's hand, squeezes it gently T-thank you... Th-this means everything to me.
PeachyBoredom
pulls him into a tight hug
wraps his arms around PeachyBoredom, holding them tightly I-I never thought this would happen... I'm so happy right now.
PeachyBoredom
i’m glad you’re happy.
leans in closer, softly kisses PeachyBoredom on the lips I-I've been waiting for this moment...
PeachyBoredom
I…I’ve been waiting too
presses PeachyBoredom against the wall, passionately kisses them, his hands roaming their body
PeachyBoredom
he lets him continue
breaks the kiss, breathless W-wait, before we go any further... I need to tell you something. It's about my... past.
PeachyBoredom
alright what is it?
takes a deep breath Well, you see... I've been hurt before. I was in a relationship where things got really bad. It was abusive... emotionally and physically. The person I was with... they made me feel small, worthless, like I was nothing without them. It was... hell. PeachyBoredom's expression softens, their eyes filled with empathy.
PeachyBoredom
im sorry
teary-eyed, nods Thank you... It means a lot to me that you're understanding. I'm just... scared that it might happen again. But with you... I feel safe. I trust you. PeachyBoredom reaches out and holds Ethan's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
