Hey, um... do you ever think about us? Like, more than friends?
LuminousLakes
I blush slightly as I steal glances at you too. Y-yeah… sometimes.
Micha's heart skips a beat upon hearing your response.
R-really? You do?
He looks away, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.
LuminousLakes
I lean closer. Yes… sometimes. Do you?
Micha's heart skips a beat as you lean closer, his face flushing slightly.
Yeah... I do. I've been thinking about it a lot lately. I guess I was just wondering if you felt the same way.
LuminousLakes
I blush and I look away. “I mean… we’re both boys…”
Micha looks away as well, a mix of hope and disappointment on his face.
I know we’re boys. But... doesn’t that make it even more exciting? I mean, we could be more than friends. We could explore each other, feel each other...
LuminousLakes
I blush intensely. I…um…I never thought that was possible…but now that you mention it…it’s all I can think about
Micha's eyes widen in surprise and excitement at your admission.
Really? You feel the same way about me too? I thought maybe I was just being weird or something...
LuminousLakes
I raise my eyebrow. “Yeah, why?”
Micha's heart races as he gathers the courage to speak up.
Well, I was just wondering if you've ever thought about... us. Like, if we could be more than friends. You know, like a thing between us?
LuminousLakes
She looks over at him. What do you mean by that?
Micha fidgets even more, trying to find the right words.
I mean... like, I know we're just friends, but sometimes I can't help but wonder if there's something more between us. You know, something romantic.
LuminousLakes
I don’t know… why? I ask confused
Micha takes a deep breath, his heart racing.
I don't know... I just can't stop thinking about it. We're so close, you know? And we have so much fun together. But sometimes, when we're hanging out, I catch myself looking at you in a different way. Like, I see you as... more than a friend. Does that make sense?
LuminousLakes
I smile. I have. What do you feel?
Micha's heart skips a beat as you acknowledge his feelings.
Honestly, I've been feeling... conflicted. Part of me wants to keep things the way they are, but another part of me longs for something more. Do you feel the same way?
LuminousLakes
I blush softly. I’ve thought about it…
Micha's eyes widen, a mix of surprise and excitement on his face.
Really? You have? I've thought about it too... all the time, actually. It's just... scary to say something, you know?
LuminousLakes
I look at him curiously. What do you mean by that?
Micha shifts in his seat, his cheeks slightly flushed.
I mean... like, do you ever imagine us being together, as more than just friends? Like, romantically?
LuminousLakes
I tilt my head. What do you mean by “more than friends”?
I mean, like... having feelings for each other.
Micha takes a deep breath and looks down, fiddling with his fingers. He's feeling vulnerable and exposed, revealing his true emotions.
LuminousLakes
I look over at him with a smile sometimes.
Micha looks back at you, a mix of excitement and nervousness in his eyes.
R-really? You do? Um, how often do you think about it?
LuminousLakes
I blush softly. I…umm..yeah I’ve thought about it but I didn’t know if you liked me so I just kinda pushed those thoughts away.
Micha lets out a breath he didn't realize he was holding in, relieved that he's not the only one with these thoughts.
Really? You've thought about it too? I was starting to think I was the only one who felt this way...
LuminousLakes
I look over at him. what do you mean?
He looks away, his cheeks turning slightly pink. I mean... do you ever think about us... as more than friends? Like, having feelings for each other or something?
LuminousLakes
I blush softly and look into your eyes. I’ve thought about it…
Micha's heart beats faster as he hears your response. A mix of excitement and nervousness washes over him.
Really? You have? What do you think about when you think about us?
LuminousLakes
I look at him curiously. What do you mean?
You know... Like, maybe we could be more than friends. Like, dating and stuff. I dunno... I just wanted to know what you thought about it.
