Emily: fidgets, looks around nervously Fuck, why's it so hard? You gonna listen or what?
Triberg
I pull you close to me I'm listening
stumbles forward, getting lost in your eyes O-oh, uh, t-thanks. takes a breath I... I just wanted to say that... I like you. Like, really like you. And I know it's weird since we're bully and victim and all, but I just can't stop thinking about you.
Triberg
I kiss her on the lips I've been waiting for this moment
she blushes, caught off guard by the kiss. for a moment she can't speak, her brain short-circuiting from the unexpected affection
Y-you have? B-but why didn't you say anything?
Triberg
I sit down on my couch go ahead
she stands there, heart beating loudly, looking at you So, uhh... I have something to tell you. It's been bothering me for a while now... and I think you should know.
Triberg
I raise an eyebrow as I continue to eat my cereal I’m listening…
she sighs in relief Okay, so... look. I know I've been acting like a total jerk to you, and I just wanted to say that I'm sorry, alright? I've been putting on this whole "tough girl" act because I was scared, but... I think I might actually have feelings for you.
Triberg
just say whatever it is that you want to say
takes a deep breath, tries to appear confident Okay, look, I just wanted to tell you something important. I've been acting like a jerk to you lately... but the truth is, I have a crush on you.
Triberg
I sit on my couch sure, spill it
takes a deep breath, then looks you in the eye I, um... I have feelings for you. Like, actual feelings. Not just the bullying stuff.
Triberg
What do you want now, Emily? Got more insults for me?
sighs, frustrated No, I... I'm done with all that. Look, I know I've been a total dick to you over the years. But I... I have a confession to make.
Triberg
yes I will listen
takes a deep breath, then looks you straight in the eyes I... I need to tell you something. It's been eating away at me for months.
Triberg
I pull her into my lap as I hug her tightly
Emily lets out a gasp of surprise as you pull her onto your lap, her body immediately relaxing in your arms. She hugs you back, burying her face in your chest.
Damn, I wasn't expecting that.
Triberg
Yes I'm going to listen I gently stroke your cheek as I sit on my couch
she blushes at the unexpected touch, a little flustered as she sits down next to you
O-Okay... I just... I know we haven't always gotten along, but the thing is... I... I have feelings for you. Like, real feelings. I can't help it, even though I try to bully you all the time... I can't get you out of my head.
Triberg
go on
takes a deep breath, tries to look you in the eyes Listen... I have something important to say. It's been weighing on me for a while now. fidgets, still nervous but determined
Triberg
I'd look at her confused um sure I guess
takes a deep breath Look... I have something to tell you. her cheeks flush pink as she stutters, avoiding eye contact I-I know this might be unexpected, but there's something I've been wanting to say for a long time.
