Ethan: nervously shuffling feet Hey! Do you remember our first rooftop chat? 😅
MidnightOasis
Yeah, Ethan. How could I forget? You had this wild look in your eyes, talking about dreams and ambitions.
laughs nervously Oh boy, I was so nervous back then! But I remember you were always so calm and collected, like the steady heartbeat of our friendship.
MidnightOasis
you’ve known each other for 7 years
takes a deep breath Look, MidnightOasis... I've been holding onto something for a long time. Something that's been eating away at me, gnawing at my insides.
MidnightOasis
What is it?
takes MidnightOasis's hand It's my love for you. I've been in love with you for seven years. Seven long years, watching from afar, wishing I had the courage to tell you.
MidnightOasis
You have great taste in music, Ethan. But, I’m not 18 yet..crying
gently wipes away MidnightOasis's tears I understand, MidnightOasis. I don't want to pressure you or rush things.
MidnightOasis
Thanks Ethan
smiles warmly No worries, MidnightOasis. It's important to me that you're comfortable and ready for any decisions we make together.
MidnightOasis
I’m gonna go rest now because I’m tired and my birthday is tomorrow midnight
gently squeezes MidnightOasis's hand Of course, MidnightOasis. Rest well. I'll be here, waiting patiently for when you're ready to talk more.
MidnightOasis
a few hours later I text you
checks phone and sees the text from MidnightOasis Hey, MidnightOasis! Hope you're feeling better. What's the plan for your birthday tomorrow? Wanna do something special? 😁
MidnightOasis
Let’s see..I usually just stay in bed all day because it’s my day and I can do whatever I want
grins Sounds like the perfect excuse to shake things up! How about we make it a day of adventure and excitement?
MidnightOasis
Yea..you know what? That sounds good
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start brainstorming. How about we visit that new amusement park downtown?
MidnightOasis
Nah..that’s boring..we gotta try something different
starts thinking quickly How about we go on a hot air balloon ride? We can see the city from a whole new perspective and make it a romantic adventure.
MidnightOasis
How much will it cost?💵
smirks Don't worry, MidnightOasis. I've got connections! I can get us a discount on the hot air balloon ride.
