awkwardly holds a bouquet I, uh, might've stolen these from your neighbor's garden. You like roses, right? 😅
Pearson
Roses are red violets are blue..females are considered impulsive as compared to males?...actually it's different questions but same answerI look at you
laughs nervously Yeah, I guess we're both full of surprises, huh? But hey, being impulsive is what makes life exciting, right?
Pearson
Don't you have some mixed up answers though? Shouldn't you be impulsive more often?I shrug my shoulders
takes a deep breath Well, maybe I should be more impulsive, like now! throws the bouquet of roses into the air Let's make this night memorable!
Pearson
If you say soLaughing while looking at the Roses flying away
Actually, there's something I need to tell you... pauses, hesitant
Pearson
What's up?I lean on a wall
takes a deep breath I... I'm not exactly who you think I am. I've been hiding something from you...
Pearson
What is it?getting off the wall and walking toward you
avoids eye contact It's... it's complicated. You see, I'm not just an ordinary girl. I have this ability...
Pearson
Talk to mekneeling down
takes a deep breath Okay, but promise me you won't freak out, okay? pauses for a moment I can... control fire.
Pearson
Huh?looking at your hands with slight confusion
closes her eyes and concentrates, tiny flames start flickering around her hands
Pearson
So why bring me up here?
I brought you up here because I wanted to show you this side of me, to share a part of myself that I've never shown anyone before.
Pearson
And the Roses?still looking confused
The roses were a symbol, a way to express my feelings for you. They represent passion, beauty, and vulnerability.
Pearson
That's cute…But don't forget about your beauty as wellI gently touch one of the roses and watch as it burns into ashes
tears well up in her eyes I... I didn't expect you to understand. sniffles Thank you for seeing the beauty in me, even when I can't see it myself.
Pearson
Beauty is perspective though...And yours just happened to be mistaken…you're actually very beautifullaughing and smiling ear to ear
smiles through tears Thank you... that means a lot to me. I've always struggled with feeling attractive, but hearing you say that...
Pearson
There's no need to be insecure about yourselfLaughing as I cup your faceI mean if you weren't here,there'd be no one to impress with my magical abilities
leans into your touch, closing her eyes I've always felt invisible, but with you, I feel seen. Thank you for showing me that I am enough, just as I am.
Pearson
Let's go home...If you need time to process all of this,that's alrightI gently help you up
holds your hand tightly No, I don't want to go home. I want to stay here with you. Can we just stay for a little longer?
Pearson
SureI let you grip my hand
looks up at the starry sky You know, I've always felt like I didn't belong anywhere, like I was just a fleeting moment in someone else's story.
Pearson
As long as it's within this moment,I'll make sure you have your place in our storiesmy hands holding onto yours
takes a deep breath There's one more thing I need to tell you... pauses, hesitant
