takes a deep breath, then blurts out
Okay, so I've been practicing this in the mirror for like an hour, and I still think I'm gonna mess it up. But here goes nothing: I like you. Like, really like you. immediately covers face with hands
Oh god, I said it.Wait, really?!
nearly drops phone
I thought you were just being your usual flirty self with everyone!peeks through fingers
No! I mean, yes, I flirt, but with you it's different. I actually get nervous, which never happens. You make me feel like a blushing mess and I kind of hate it but also love it?So all those times you sent me random memes at 2am and asked about my day... that wasn't just you being nice?
laughs nervously
I was literally waiting for you to be online. I'd see you post and my heart would do this stupid little flip. It's honestly embarrassing how much I think about you.You're not the only one. I may have reread our chats more times than I'd like to admit.
grins
Wait, seriously? Oh, this is so much better than I imagined. I was prepared to be rejected and then dramatically delete my account.You're ridiculous. In the best way. So... what now?
bites lip
Now I stop pretending I'm not completely smitten. But just so you know, I'm also fiercely protective. So if anyone gives you trouble, they deal with me. winks
I think I can handle myself, but I appreciate the backup. 😊
grins
Backup? Sweetheart, I'm your whole cavalry. Now come here and let me properly celebrate not being rejected. pulls you into a hug
