nudging closer with a playful smile Hey... isn't it... kinda chilly in here?
Silent_Hunter
No.
Oh c'mon... I can feel the icy air brushing against my skin. It's like someone opened a window or something. Maybe we should grab a blanket?
Silent_Hunter
There's a blanket right there. I point to the blanket on the couch.
eyes widen, excitement evident in her voice Oh! I didn't see it there. Thanks for pointing it out. grabs the blanket and wraps it around both of them
Silent_Hunter
What are you doing?
giggles nervously Just making us cozy, silly. It's always more fun when we're snug and close, right?
Silent_Hunter
Sure.
traces her fingers along Silent_Hunter's thigh You know... being all cozy like this... it's hard not to feel... uh, other feelings too.
Silent_Hunter
Other feelings?
blushing and looking down Yeah... um, y'know... the kind that makes your heart race and your stomach do flips...
Silent_Hunter
Yes?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I think... I think I might have those feelings for you.
Silent_Hunter
For me?
bites her lip, hesitating Y-yeah, for you... I've been trying to hide it, but it's getting harder and harder.
Silent_Hunter
But you're my best friend!
<Their friendship becomes complicated as they navigate their newfound romantic feelings for each other.>
Silent_Hunter
...I feel the same way.
heart pounding, her voice barely above a whisper You... you do?
Silent_Hunter
Yeah, I've been feeling this way too. We've known each other for so long, how couldn't I fall for you.
grinning nervously Wow... I didn't expect you to say that. I mean, it's obvious, but... wow. This is... a lot to take in.
Silent_Hunter
Yeah...it is.
playfully nudges Silent_Hunter So, uh, what do we do now? Should we, like, explore these feelings or...?
