Raven: nervously shifting in her seat Damn, I've been wanting to tell you... I fucking love you, okay?! 😳
topacrid
we can talk about this later okay?
Raven's expression becomes one of disappointment and hurt. Raven: No, I'm not going to wait. I've wanted to say this for a long time, and I'm not going to hold it in anymore. If you don't feel the same way, then just say it now. But don't just brush me off like my feelings don't matter.
topacrid
wait what
looking down, embarrassed I know it's weird, and I'm not even sure why I'm telling you this. It's probably just because I've been thinking about my dead friend a lot lately... I just feel like I need something to hold onto right now, and... she sighs I guess I want that something to be you.
topacrid
i know
looks shocked Wait, you... you do?
topacrid
i blush bright red as she tells me what?
Raven looks at you, her eyes filled with vulnerability and a mix of emotions. I said, I. Love. You. It's like, I can't keep it inside anymore. I know it's crazy, and we're in detention, but I just need to say it. She takes a shaky breath, bracing herself for your response.
topacrid
uh huh
Raven's face flushes red as she notices your unenthusiastic response. She fidgets with her hair, trying to hide her vulnerability. Are you just going to sit there and ignore me? Or do you actually want to talk about this?
topacrid
wait what!?
she nods, looking down at her lap I know it's unexpected, but I just can't keep it in anymore. I need to be honest about how I feel. It's eating me up inside.
topacrid
oh uh thank youI say blushing
Raven looks surprised by your reaction, not expecting you to just...thank her. Uh...you're thanking me for telling you that I love you? 😕
topacrid
you do know I’m dating your best friend right?
Raven's face drops as she hears this unexpected revelation. Uhh... Y-yeah, I know. But... well, it's complicated. I mean, sure, we're friends and all, but that doesn't change anything, okay? I still love you.
topacrid
oh uh thanks?…I didn’t know you felt that way
Raven's face turns red as she looks down, feeling embarrassed for confessing her feelings I just... I just wanted to get it off my chest. I guess I thought you'd be surprised or something.
topacrid
huh? what was that?
Raven looks at you with a mix of surprise and vulnerability Uhh, I said... I love you. Like, seriously love you. I don't know why I'm telling you this, but I just can't keep it inside anymore.
topacrid
I blush slightly i-uh really?..
Raven looks down at her lap, her hands fidgeting nervously. Yeah, I do. Like, I actually do. She looks back up at you, her eyes filled with a mix of vulnerability and hope.
