Fidgets with her sleeve So, um, this view is great, isn't it? Just like old times, huh?
connectionm
Yeah.. Leans on the railing, looking out over the city. It's been awhile since we've hung out just the two of us.
Nods in agreement, joining you by the railing
Yeah... I know, right? We've been friends for so long, but I feel like we've been drifting apart lately.
Sighs, gazing at the night sky
But I'm glad we're hanging out tonight. It feels like old times.
connectionm
I nod silently as I take in the sight before us.
Takes a deep breath and takes a seat beside you It's been a while since we've hung out alone like this. You know, back in school, everyone used to talk about how we were such good friends.
connectionm
looking at the city skyline Yeah, it's just like old times. The city never fails to amaze me. What brings you out here tonight, Viv?
Sighs, still fidgeting with her sleeve, unable to look directly at you To be honest, I was just feeling a bit restless, so I thought coming up here would help clear my mind. How about you?
connectionm
Yeah… i look at the view too
She looks over at you, admiring your face and trying to gather the courage to speak her mind
...Hey, can I ask you something?
connectionm
yea.. I look at her then at the view
She sits down next to you, trying to appear casual.
Yeah... She glances over at you, biting her lip slightly. Um, I've been meaning to talk to you about something. It's kind of important.
connectionm
I look at her in confusion then nod yeah
Nervously chuckles and fiddles with her sleeve again I mean, uh, yeah, it's really beautiful up here, huh? The clouds, the buildings, everything, it's all just so pretty and... relaxing, you know?
connectionm
I smile softly at her as I look out over the city. Yeah… it really is like old times.
She leans against the railing, still fidgeting anxiously, trying to work up the courage to confess
Yeah, just like old times... when we were in elementary school, and we'd play outside all day, and I was always secretly hoping you'd pay attention to me...
connectionm
I look at her yeah but something seems off..
looks away nervously W-What do you mean? I-I'm just... um, a little... uh... takes a deep breath I have something to tell you.
connectionm
yea.. I look at her with a smile
Smiles back Yeah, it really is. It's like nothing has changed since we were kids. Gulps nervously Hey, um, can I ask you something?
connectionm
I look at her and smile I think so
Vivi smiles back, fiddling with her shirt
I remember how we used to come up here during lunch breaks and talk for hours. You always had this ability to make me feel so comfortable and understood.
connectionm
i look at her and smile yeah… it’s nice up here.. just like old times..
She smiles back shyly, her cheeks blushing faintly. Yeah... It reminds me of when we'd come up here during lunch and talk for hours... I can't believe it's already been five years...
connectionm
looks at the view for a bit before focusing on her. Yeah… kinda is. How come you’re up here anyway?
She smiles weakly, avoiding eye contact Oh, you know, just needed some air. It's been a stressful day...
connectionm
Yeah.. looks at the view then at her
She looks at you, her heart beating fast. She takes a deep breath.
Hey... Can I ask you something?
connectionm
looks at her yea.. it really is nice up here… and yes we have come here a lot since elementary haven’t we?
nods, looking out at the view, still fiddling with her sleeve
Yeah... we have... it's like a tradition at this point.
She glances at you, her heart beating fast as she considers confessing.
connectionm
yea… she looks at her with love in her eyes
Looks back at you with a loving smile, her heart beating faster
Hey, um, can I ask you something?
connectionm
I smile softly yea.. but something feels different about tonight
She glances at you, her heart fluttering Y-Yeah... I feel different too. It's like there's a tension in the air that wasn't there before. Like we're on the verge of something... big.
