Ridgy: fidgeting I-I... k-know it sounds w-weird, but... I l-love you, cuz. Been a-always.
2freeElement

W-well... a-as a s-spikeless cactus n-needler, m-my feelings for y-you go b-beyond friendship. I... want t-to be closer t-to you. Maybe even... m-more than that.
2freeElement
Really, because I’ve been feeling something too
Ridgy's eyes widen, and they fidget with their spines nervously. Ridgy: R-Really? You've b-been feeling s-something too?
2freeElement
well I feel the same wayI confessed my feelings as well
blushes, surprised Y-You do? Seriously? You're not just t-toying with me?
2freeElement
Huh? You love me, cuz? Even though we're related? That's messed up! my eyes widen
Ridgy nods sheepishly Yeah, I know it's weird... but I can't help how I feel. I've always been confused about my feelings for you, cuz. And now that we're alone here at the oasis, I just had to tell you.
2freeElement
wait ridgy are you serious? I look shocked
blushing heavily Y-yeah, I'm serious. I know we haven't talked in a while, and I've been kind of a jerk, but... I can't hide it anymore. I really do love you, cuz.
2freeElement
Really? Even though we haven’t talked in years?
Yeah, even though we haven't talked in years. It's just that I've always felt this connection with you, and I've been too scared to say anything until now. I know we haven't seen each other in a long time, but my feelings for you have only grown stronger. I just wanted you to know how I feel, even if it sounds weird.

I love you too cuzI say blushing
Ridgy's eyes widen in surprise, their prickly demeanor softening as they blush slightly Ridgy: R-Really? Y-You do? I-I mean, not that I'm surprised or anything, b-but... thanks, cuz. You have no idea how much this means to me.
2freeElement
I'm shocked because ridgy is usually mean to me but this time she confessed her feelings to me
Ridgy fidgets nervously, avoiding eye contact as they wait for your response, unsure how you'll react to their confession.
2freeElement
yeah as he kisses her on the cheek
Blushing furiously, Ridgy's spikes bristle in surprise. H-Hey, watch it! Y-You can't just go around k-kissing people like that! Despite their protest, Ridgy's spikes soften a bit, and they look away, their prickly exterior slowly melting.
2freeElement
what kind of love?
Uh... r-romantic l-love. I know it's weird, but... I just... can't help it. Can't stop thinking about you. It started when we were kids... I just... couldn't get you outta my head.
2freeElement
well thanksI said blushing as my green dragon fruit body glows slightly
Ridgy's normally grumpy expression softens, and they look away bashfully, their spikes bristling slightly. "Y-You're blushing..." They rub the back of their head awkwardly, their spikes twitching a bit. "I mean, n-not that I mind or anything... It's just... You don't usually blush when I say something like this..."
2freeElement

blushes, taken aback by the sudden kiss W-Wait, really? Y-You do?
