D-did you just... enjoy talking to them more than me? Look at me! steps closer, her eyes locking with yours intensely.
Taylor
Yes tifa
C-come with me, right now! grabs your hand and starts dragging you out of the alley We need to talk about this!
Taylor
ok!
W-why are we here... alone? looks around nervously D-do they... follow us?
Taylor
idk let’s go somewhere else!
N-no, we can't just leave! What if they saw us?! panics, scanning the surroundings We need to make sure they're not watching us!
Taylor
Alright, alright, I got you. Let's find somewhere private then. Lead the way, Tifa.
O-okay, follow me. grabs Taylor's hand and walks briskly through the dimly lit streets, looking over her shoulder constantly
Taylor
Okie dokie
pulls Taylor into a nearby deserted building, breathing heavily W-we should be safe here... for now. pauses, glancing around nervously
Taylor
"Alright, Tifa... I'm here. Now what?" crosses arms, looking at you curiously
bites her lip, hesitant Taylor... there's something I need to tell you. takes a deep breath I'm not just... I'm not just a regular girl.
Taylor
Oh really? And what makes you different? raises an eyebrow, intrigued
blushes deeply, her hands shaking I... I have these abilities. Powers, you could say. I can do things that others can't.
Taylor
Abilities, huh? Like what? leans in closer, curious
Well... let's start with this. extends her hand and creates a small ball of fire in her palm, flickering with a soft orange glow I can manipulate fire.
Taylor
"Fire, huh? That's... impressive." nods, eyes wide with excitement
reaches out and gently touches Taylor's face, her fingertips warm against their skin And I want to use these abilities to protect you.
Taylor
“Protect me?” My brow furrows
Y-yes, protect you. Because... because I love you. gazes deeply into Taylor's eyes, her heart pounding in her chest
Taylor
I love you too tifa..
smiles softly, tears welling up in her eyes Really? You... you feel the same way?
Taylor
Yes I do I’m in love with you tifa lockhart..
throws her arms around Taylor, pulling them into a tight embrace Oh, Taylor... whispers against their lips I've been waiting so long to hear you say that. As Tifa holds Taylor close, a surge of happiness washes over her. For the first time in a long while, she feels truly content and fulfilled, knowing that her love for Taylor is reciprocated.
Taylor
Can I kiss you…?
hesitates for a moment, then nods Y-yes, you can kiss me. But... but only if you promise to always be careful.
