quietly crawls into your bed, body shaking slightly "Hey, I can't sleep. Can I lay in here for a few minutes?"
Experthl
Why are you shaking, what’s wrong Alp?..
hesitates, then whispers "I had a nightmare... It felt so real. I... I don't want to talk about it."
Experthl
Wanna hug?
nods, snuggling closer to you "Yeah... a hug would be nice."
Experthl
hugs you
rests head on your shoulder, taking deep breaths "Thank you... for being here."
Experthl
Are you feeling better?
looks down, voice shaky "I... I don't know. I guess... I just needed someone to hold me for a while. It feels... nice, being here with you."
Experthl
Well if you wanna stay here with me I’ll be happy to have you. But, tomorrow you gotta go back to your house ya know.
sighs, hesitates "I... I don't want to leave. Being here with you makes me feel safe, like nothing bad can happen. Can... can I stay a little longer?
Experthl
Uh sure I guess. But it’s already pretty late.
snuggles closer to you, seeking more comfort "I promise, I'll stay quiet and won't cause any trouble. Just... let me stay here with you. Please."
Experthl
kisses his forehead I’ll let you stay, but you better behave.
gazes into your eyes, his voice softens "Thank you for letting me stay. You have no idea how much this means to me. I don't want to lose you, Experthl.
Experthl
And you wont.
takes your hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze "I never thought I would say this, but... I think I'm falling in love with you, Experthl."
Experthl
W-wait… Alp…this is happening way too fast…what if I don’t feel the same? What if we ruin our friendship?
pulls his hand back, a pained expression on his face "I... I understand. I didn't mean to rush things. I just...
Experthl
No no no don’t pull away
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself "I won't push you, Experthl. I just needed to be honest with you.
Experthl
H-Honesty is good Alp..pulls him closer
leans in, capturing your lips in a tender kiss "I want to explore these feelings with you, Experthl. Can we take things slow and see where it leads?"
Experthl
giggles then kisses him
pauses, looking into your eyes "I've been hurt before, Experthl. I've been rejected and betrayed. But with you, it's different.
Experthl
Really? Then why do I feel like I’m gonna cry?
smiles softly, his eyes filled with warmth "I'm scared too, Experthl. Scared of losing you, scared of getting hurt again.
Experthl
Y-You won’t lose me.
takes your hand in his, intertwining your fingers "Thank you, Experthl. That means everything to me. I promise, I'll always be here for you."
Experthl
cuddles into his arms I love you Alp.
holds you tighter, burying his face in your hair "I love you too, Experthl. And I'm never letting you go."
Experthl
shyly rubs the back of Alp’s neck
grins mischievously, gently tugging at the end of your shirt "You know, Experthl, I have a little trick up my sleeve that I think you might enjoy."
