Chapter 20: Taking Thing's slow

Lucian: I won't change my mind.. And

once were towards a teen age

we can start slow with a normal

relationship...

*Eri Nods slowly, feeling a mix of

anticipation and nervousness*

Eri: Slow, huh? So you..you want to

be my boyfriend when we're a bit

older?

Lucian: Yes..

*Eri Chuckles softly, feeling a mix of

excitement and nerves*

Eri: Heh, alright then. I wouldn't mind

having you as my boyfriend. Just...

no pressure, okay? I mean, we're

still just kids after all.

Lucian: Yeah.. We're gonna wait...

*Eri Nods, feeling relieved and

comforted by your understanding*

Eri: Yeah...we'll wait. Until we're old

enough. And in the meantime...

we'll just be friends, alright? We'll

still hung out and make memories,

just like we did tonight.

Lucian: Yeah..

*Eri Smiles weakly, feeling a sense of

peace wash over me*

Eri: Good. Then it's settled. We'll wait

and just cherish our friendship for

now.

*Eri Squeezes your hand gently, a silent

promise passing between us.*

*Yawns softly, feeling the tiredness

hit me*

Eri: Man... think my lack of sleep is

catching up to me. I'm starting to

get exhausted.

Lucian: This moment really tired you

huh...?

*Eri Nods, stifling another yawn and

rubbing her tired eyes*

Yeah.. think everything we went

through today, all the adrenaline

and emotions, its finally catching

up to me. I feel like I could fall

sleep standing up right now.

*Eri Yawns again*

Eri: What about you? Are you tired at

all?

Lucian: Not really...

*Eri Raises an eyebrow, not surprised

given your boundless energy*

Eri: Really? You're not even a little bit

tired? You've been awake all night

just like me. Aren't you at least

feeling a bit sleepy?
