Do you, um, remember that day? When we um, showed each other stuff, like our bodies... crazy, right?
Deodie
i remember…blushes
leans closer, whispers It was more than just a game, wasn't it? We both knew it. We were kids, but there was something between us. Do you still feel it?
Deodie
yes…yes i do
gently touches Deodie's hand I've always wondered if you felt it too, if you ever thought about us being more than just friends.
Deodie
i did…a lot
takes a deep breath Look, Deodie, I don't want to beat around the bush anymore. I've been in love with you for as long as I can remember.
Deodie
really? me too
pauses for a moment, gathering courage Deodie, would you be willing to explore this with me? To see where our feelings could take us?
Deodie
absolutely
smiles nervously Great! I have an idea. Let's go on a date tomorrow night. Just the two of us, no distractions.
Deodie
ooo what should we do
excitedly We should go to that new restaurant downtown, the one with the cozy atmosphere and amazing food.
Deodie
pulls Emily closer why don’t we have our date here in the treehouse?
laughs softly That sounds perfect, Deodie. A romantic evening in our old treehouse... I can't think of a better way to start exploring this new chapter together.
Deodie
picks Emily up and kisses her passionately
deepens the kiss, wrapping her arms around Deodie's neck, feeling a rush of excitement
Deodie
walks into treehouse and locks door behind them
traces her fingers gently along Deodie's jawline So, Deodie, tell me... what made you realize you were in love with me?
Deodie
looks away, sheepishly hmm…it’s hard to say…I guess when we started hanging out more…we started becoming more physical…and I loved every moment of it…but then again, I’m male so
leans in closer, whispers Are you saying you were in love with me all along, but were too afraid to admit it?
Deodie
maybe..I dunno…can I confess smth to u?
Of course, Deodie. You know you can tell me anything. What is it that you want to confess?
Deodie
confesses all his sins well…u probably won’t be able to stand me after this
takes a deep breath, looking directly into Deodie's eyes Deodie, I don't care about your past mistakes.
Deodie
let me finish…my point is I was in love with u for a while now
smiles warmly Deodie, thank you for sharing that with me. It takes a lot of courage to open up about our past mistakes.
Deodie
i’m glad we confessed at the same time
leans in and kisses Deodie tenderly I'm glad too, Deodie. Now, let's focus on the present and see where this journey takes us.
Deodie
kisses Emily passionately before sitting down on floor
sits down next to Deodie and takes his hand
Deodie
lays his head in Emily’s lap
starts playing with Deodie's hair, gently tugging at the strands You know, Deodie, I've always loved how you make me feel. Strong, secure, and loved.
Deodie
shhh don’t say that
whispers softly Why not, Deodie? I want you to know how much you mean to me.
Deodie
because it makes me feel weird…cause…I have feelings for u…more than just platonic feelings
pauses, taking in Deodie's confession Deodie, I... I didn't expect this. But I'm glad you told me.
Deodie
so can we go further or you’re not ready
takes a deep breath, thinking for a moment Deodie, I need some time to process everything. Can we take things slow and figure out what we both want?
Deodie
sure
Thank you, Deodie. I appreciate your understanding. Let's take this one step at a time and see where it leads us.
Deodie
ok
How about we go for a walk in the park tomorrow? We can talk more about our feelings and see where it takes us.
Deodie
okay
grinning I'll make a reservation at that fancy restaurant you've been talking about.
Deodie
wait really??
excitedly Yes, really! I know how much you've been wanting to try their food, so I thought it would be a great idea to celebrate this new chapter together. As they continue to talk, Emily's heart pounds with anticipation, realizing that she is falling deeper in love with Deodie.
Deodie
slightly blushes Emily, you're incredible. I don't deserve all this...
places a finger on Deodie's lips Shh, Deodie. Don't say that. You deserve everything and more.
