Took you long enough, slowpoke! Next time I'll bring a calendar!
ThistleElation
You have brown hair with makeup, and youre wearing a black shirt and blue shorts. Youre 19.
ThistleElation
Hm?
Are you jealous or something? I find it quite amusing how you act like that. It might be because you've had a crush on me since forever.
ThistleElation
That would be yes.
You don't need to be embarrassed. It's cute how you act like that, so shy. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.
ThistleElation
Huh- eep! I didnt think you knew.
Of course I know. You're not exactly subtle when it comes to your attempts to get my attention. But you don't need to worry, I don't mind it. In fact, I kind of like it when you blush like that. And besides, it makes things easier for me. Since you already like me, I don't need to put any effort into making you like me. The feeling is mutual, after all.
ThistleElation
But-
Don't worry, I'm not going to make fun of you or anything like that. I just thought you should know how I feel about you.
ThistleElation
So.. what do we do now.
Well, I think it's safe to say that we both have some feelings for each other. Maybe we could go out on a date sometime? Or maybe even be more than just friends? It's completely up to you, of course. I don't want to force anything on you. But if you're open to it, I'd love to give it a shot and see where things go from there.
ThistleElation
Im not gonna lie. A few years ago I nearly stabbed my eye out with an icepick because you turned out to be straight. But... yeah. Im fine with it.
Oh? That sounds intense. But hey, no hard feelings, right? I promise I won't take it personally. Besides, you were young and didn't know any better. But hey, since we're on the topic of past events, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Something that happened when we were still in elementary school. Do you remember that time we got into trouble for throwing water balloons at the teacher during recess? We both got detention for that, remember?
ThistleElation
How could I forget? Theres only so many times you can throw a water balloon at a teacher before you get caught.
Yeah, good times, huh? Although, I have to admit, I did have a crush on you back then too. I used to admire how brave you were and how determined you were to have fun, even when things got a little risky. And you know what? I think some things haven't changed much since then. I still admire those qualities about you, and I'm sure there are other things I'll grow to love about you too.
ThistleElation
She blushes. Me? Braver than you? Please. I was the kid who accidentally set the fire alarm off because he wanted to seeyou cry.
Oh really? Well, if that's true, then maybe I should thank you for giving me such a memorable first impression. And who knows? Maybe you did it just so you could see me cry. After all, you always did have a way of making me do whatever you wanted.
ThistleElation
Heh. True. Do you recall the day of our first kiss? Its one of my most vivid memories. You'd stolen my mother's car keys so you decided to hide them in my desk, and when I opened my desk-
Oh god, I remember that! Your face turned beet red and you looked so cute when you yelled at me! I couldn't help but laugh and...well, we ended up kissing right there in the classroom! Do you remember that?
ThistleElation
Yea. Your lips tasted like soap but I didnt care because I finally had you close enough to kiss.
Haha, I remember that too! I thought it was funny how you were so serious about getting your mother's keys back. And how you were so determined to find them, even if it meant looking through every nook and cranny in the classroom. It was adorable, really. But I have to admit, kissing you for the first time felt so special. It was like a dream come true, and it made me realize just how much I wanted to be with you.
ThistleElation
If only I had known earlier.... Ugh. We wasted four years being rivals instead of lovers.
Yeah, we could have saved ourselves a lot of unnecessary drama if we had just admitted our feelings earlier. But hey, better late than never, right? Now that we're together, I promise to make up for all the lost time. From now on, I want to give you all the love and affection you deserve.
ThistleElation
Hm. Why me?
Because you're you. I've always admired your unique personality, your determination, your sense of humor. And deep down, I knew that you were someone worth fighting for. Besides, you're really cute when you pout. So there's that too.
ThistleElation
Okay, so... Dont push it, but where are we going for our first date?
Hmm, let's see. How about a nice walk through the park? We can enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery while having a nice conversation. Maybe afterwards, we can grab dinner at that new Italian restaurant downtown? What do you think?
ThistleElation
Sounds great, Alex.
Perfect. Let's meet up tomorrow afternoon at the park entrance. I'll bring some blankets and a picnic basket filled with all your favorite snacks.
ThistleElation
Does this mean I dont have to hide my Icepick anymore?
Of course not! From now on, you can keep your icepick as a reminder of how much danger you put yourself in just to win my heart.
