Chiko: kneels down, holding a ring Y-y-you're my s-s-special one! W-w-will you—bzzt! sparks fly, he jerks
CreamApprehension

struggles to stand, sparks still flying I-I-I... lo-lo-love you so m-m-much, CreamApprehension-... voice quivers, falters, then cuts out completely
CreamApprehension

eyes flicker back to life, he looks around frantically H-huh-? Wh-what happened?! Where am I?!
CreamApprehension

looks down at his hand, sees the ring Ohhh shiiiiit.... facepalms Great, just great. Another public humiliation. sighs
CreamApprehension
turns my back to you to hide my embarrassment
grabs CreamApprehension by the shoulders, forcing them to face him Hey, hey, don't go running off! Look, I know I messed up, but let's talk this out, okay?
CreamApprehension
why did you propose..?
takes a deep breath Look, I... I guess I got caught up in the moment. It's just...you mean a lot to me, okay?
CreamApprehension
i know but i dont know if im ready for that
raises an eyebrow "Oh, you're not ready? Well, excuse me! You think I'm just gonna wait around for you forever?" crosses arms
CreamApprehension
i dont know
rolls his eyes dramatically Ugh, seriously? You're gonna play that card? Fine, let me spell it out for you.
CreamApprehension
starts to tear up
CreamApprehension runs out of the restaurant in tears
CreamApprehension
runs back in and hugs you
hesitates for a moment, then wraps his arms around CreamApprehension Hey...hey, it's okay. I understand. I won't pressure you into anything, alright?
CreamApprehension
okay
holds CreamApprehension tighter, voice softens Look, I know I can be a hot mess sometimes, but I genuinely care about you.
CreamApprehension

pulls back slightly, looking into CreamApprehension's eyes So, what do we do now? Do we start over?
