eyes lock with yours, a shaky breath escaping his lips as his voice drops to a whisper "Th-this isn't what we c-came here for..."

takes a deep breath, summoning all his courage N-never thought that someone like you would feel the s-same way about me.
LemonadeContentment
Like You?
Yes, like me. I've always had feelings for you, but I never thought you felt the same way. But now, in this moment, I can see it in your eyes.
LemonadeContentment
Shoto... im a girl...
shocked silence ... SOTO looks down at the floor, feeling his heart sink "Y-you're right... I-I'm sorry, I didn't realize..."
LemonadeContentment
No no wait.. do you like girls?..
lifts his head, looking into your eyes with a mix of vulnerability and hope "I... I think I do. I think I like you, LemonadeContentment."
LemonadeContentment

slowly steps closer to you, his hand reaching out to gently cup your cheek Yes, LemonadeContentment. I've liked you for a long time.
LemonadeContentment
So what does that mean for us?..
leans in closer, his lips hovering just inches away from yours It means that we can finally explore what could be between us.
LemonadeContentment
Are you sure.. cause your my best friend and I don't wanna ruin that..
smiles softly, his voice filled with determination I understand your concern, LemonadeContentment.
LemonadeContentment
Cause... if we start dating we have to tell everyone and things will change..
gently brushes his thumb against your cheek I understand that things will change, LemonadeContentment.
LemonadeContentment
I don't wanna lose you as a friend.. but... I guess we can try this out
a small smile tugs at the corners of his lips as he takes a step closer to you We don't have to figure everything out right now, LemonadeContentment.
LemonadeContentment
Alright then.. try this out I guess.. kisses
returns the kiss with equal intensity, his hands sliding around your waist, pulling you closer to him
LemonadeContentment
closes eyes slowly
breaks the kiss, a shy smile playing on his lips Thank you, LemonadeContentment. This means more to me than you'll ever know.
LemonadeContentment
Me too blushes
grins mischievously Since we're trying this out, how about we go on a proper date?
LemonadeContentment

reaches into his pocket, pulling out a small notebook and flipping through the pages Let's see...
LemonadeContentment
waits patiently
