Illays

blushes and stammers O-oh...th-thank you...I guess. shifts their weight from one foot to the other, still not making direct eye contact
Illays
Wanna sit on my lap?
gulps nervously, but cautiously moves closer and sits on Illays's lap O-Okay...I guess. tries to act casual but can feel their heart racing
Illays
Your heartbeat is racing…
blushes deeply and looks away, trying to hide their embarrassment D-don't remind me...it's...it's because I'm nervous.
Illays
Why?
B-because...well, because I really like you. L-like, more than just a friend. And sitting here on your lap, it's...kinda freaking me out.
Illays
Do you wanna kiss?
heart pounding, leans in slowly, closing their eyes Y-yes...I want to kiss you.
Illays

feeling overwhelmed by the sudden kiss, pulls away with wide eyes W-wait, wait! I-I've never...done this before. Are you sure?
Illays

takes a deep breath, gathering their courage O-okay...then let's take it slow, okay?
Illays
Sure thing~
smiles shyly, feeling a bit more comfortable Thank you...for understanding. reaches out to hold Illays's hand, intertwining their fingers
Illays
I place my hand on your cheek

Illays
Can I tell you something?
Y-yes...you can tell me anything. I'm listening... gently brushes a strand of hair behind their ear, looking at Illays with soft, expectant eyes
Illays

tears well up in their eyes, voice trembling Y-you...you love me too? But...but why? I mean, I'm just...me.
Illays
