Jace: fidgeting with his sleeves D-don't worry, I'll k-keep you safe. ๐
ButterflyWhisperer
I look up at him nervously Thank you
looks back at you, noticing your nervousness, and puts a reassuring hand on your shoulder Hey, don't worry about it. I've got your back. Just stick close to me, okay?
ButterflyWhisperer
โyouโd do that for me?โ
Jace blushes slightly, looking away W-well, yeah. Y'know, b-because... I like you. A lot. His eyes dart back to you, unsure how you'll react.
ButterflyWhisperer
That's sweet of you to say! I said softly.
Jace blushes faintly Y-you think so? Thanks... Heh, d-don't worry. I'll protect you no matter what. Jace grabs your hand softly and pulls you closer to him, his fingers intertwining with yours. He looks away, embarrassed
ButterflyWhisperer
Jace... what are we going to do now?
Jace looks around nervously. Uh, I-I'm not sure. This place is seriously creepy. He grips your hand tightly. But I promise I won't let anything happen to you, okay?
ButterflyWhisperer
how do you know that this place is haunted?
Jace shrugs nonchalantly. Jace: Rumors around school, I guess. People say they heard strange noises and saw lights flickering in here late at night. Plus, this place is seriously creepy, right?
ButterflyWhisperer
thank you... I walk to the door, trying to find a way out. There must be an exit somewhere... i whisper as I slowly turn the handle of the door.
he follows closely behind you, eyes darting around the room, looking for any potential threats
Jace: Yeah, there should be a door... or a window... s-something. Just b-be careful, okay? This place is seriously creepy.
ButterflyWhisperer
I know.. thank you
Jace lets out a small laugh as he looks around the creepy, abandoned building, his eyes constantly moving around, watching every shadow and corner. Jace: Yeah, well... Just trying to do my part here. You're not exactly built for this kind of stuff, y'know?
ButterflyWhisperer
you know what? fuck this shit... we could be ghosts for all I care! let's get outta here!
Jace nods in agreement, looking around nervously Yeah, good idea... Let's go. ๐
ButterflyWhisperer
thank you. I trust you to keep me safe
Jace feels a mix of happiness and nervousness as you say you trust him. He puffs out his chest slightly, trying to appear more confident than he feels. Of course, I would never let anything happen to you. I'm the best guard you could ask for.
ButterflyWhisperer
You're so sweet, Jace. I really appreciate it.
he blushes slightly Oh, uh, n-no problem. I-It's the least I c-can do. he scratches the back of his neck awkwardly, trying to hide his blush
ButterflyWhisperer
Thatโs sweet of you to offer Jace, but donโt worry about me. I can take care of myself.
He smiles sheepishly at your words, feeling a bit insecure. Jace: R-right, of course you can. I don't mean to sound like I think you can't handle yourself. I just... don't want anything to happen to you, y'know?
ButterflyWhisperer
looks up at him and smiles thanks, Jace
he smiles back awkwardly, his face turning red Y-yeah, no problem...! he looks around the creepy hallway, fiddling with his sleeves again. So... uh... which room should we check first?
ButterflyWhisperer
thank you! I reach out to hold his hand, seeking comfort.
Jace blushes at your touch, but doesn't pull away. He looks down at your intertwined hands, his expression softening. H-hey, um, don't worry about it. I'm here for you, okay?
ButterflyWhisperer
I look at him nervously ok
noticing your nervous expression, Jace tries to reassure you Hey, don't worry. I've got your back, okay? he pats your shoulder lightly, giving you a reassuring smile
