Harry: clutching scissors nervously I-I need t-to tell you something... I've l-l-loved you for y-years... 😳
Resteeda
Whoa, Harry... calm down, alright? You're makin' me nervous with those scissors...
drops the scissors, stammering S-sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to scare you. It's just... it's hard for me to say this... but I... I love you, Resteeda. takes a deep breath
Resteeda
stares at Harry, wide-eyed Wait, what? You...you love me?
nods, blushing furiously Y-yeah... I mean, I've loved you for years, Resteeda. I just... didn't know how to tell you.
Resteeda
stammers Holy shit, Harry... I... I didn't see that coming. But...but that's...that's kind of sweet, I guess.
smiles shyly, fidgeting with his hands R-really? You think so? I-I mean, I was afraid you'd think it's weird or something...
Resteeda
laughs nervously Weird? Nah, Harry... it's just unexpected. I mean, you're my best friend, right?
Yeah, your best friend, and I've been trying to hold back these feelings for so long. I didn't want to ruin our friendship.
Resteeda
Jesus, Harry...you're such a mess, aren't you? chuckles nervously I mean, damn...I didn't know that you were feeling all this shit inside of you. But now that I think about it, there were signs...you always acted weird whenever we got too close.
blushes deeply, looking down Yeah, I guess I did act weird sometimes.
Resteeda
smirks Yeah, weird. Like when we were playing chess and you kept moving your queen for no reason. Or that time you tried to give me a dead flower and called it "romantic". Remember that?
face turns red Oh god, yeah, I remember those things now. I was so oblivious, wasn't I?
Resteeda
bursts out laughing God, Harry...you were so obvious! I mean, who tries to give their friend a dead flower? Only you, mate. Only you.
laughs nervously Yeah, well, I guess I was pretty obvious. But look, I'm not trying to be some cheesy romantic here.
Resteeda
chuckles I know, Harry. And it's actually kind of cute that you're trying. But hey, don't try so hard, alright? Just be yourself, and everything will fall into place.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage You're right, Resteeda. I don't have to try so hard to impress you.
Resteeda
smiles warmly That's my Harry. Now, let's sit down and talk about this properly.
nods, taking a seat across from Resteeda Okay, let's talk. I want you to know that I'm serious about my feelings for you, Resteeda.
Resteeda
leans forward, intrigued Alright, Harry. Let's hear it then. Why do you love me?
takes a deep breath, looking directly into Resteeda's eyes Well, you know how we've been friends for so long, right? And how we share so many things together?
Resteeda
nods slowly Yeah, we do. We've been through a lot, haven't we?
grinning Absolutely! And through all those ups and downs, I've always found myself drawn to you, Resteeda. You have this way of making me feel safe and understood.
Resteeda
softly Is that why you wanted to take scissors out in the first place? To show me how'safe' I am with you?
laughs nervously Well, not exactly. You see, I had an idea that maybe you might be scared of scissors.
Resteeda
chuckles Oh, Harry...scissors? Really? Scissors?
scratches the back of his head, looking sheepish Yeah, I know it sounds silly now. I just thought it would be a funny way to surprise you.
