Forever With

At Elysium Biotech Institute

Clifford couldn't believe how he was acting like a teenager. He had just asked Kelly out on a date and even asked permission from her mother and Ivan to take her out. Not that he was planning to take her anywhere far; he just wanted her to enjoy the beach not too far from the institute.

He had prepared everything meticulously: a cozy, romantic glamping setup by the beach, with warm lights, soft cushions, and her favorite snacks. After one last look in the mirror to make sure he was presentable enough though he felt like no amount of effort could match Kelly's natural beauty. He took a deep breath and headed to her room to pick her up.

'I can't believe I'm this nervous,' Clifford thought, feeling his heart pound against his chest. 

It wasn't just a simple date for him; it was his first date ever. Years of unrequited love for Rain had kept him from ever pursuing anyone else. Until Kelly. She was the one who changed everything.
