Very awkwardly taking her hand, trying to force their face to look...not nervous.
"W-Well, I know a nice and quiet spot where I usually go to practice my dancing. Or we could get something to eat, o-or watch a movie..."
They're really trying here.
( ok, now she's letting out a small chuckle upon the others sudden realization.. )
sounds fun, how about you decide where we go, hm ?
( holding a hand out. )
"You better. I get the student council stuff is important, but you really need a break every now and then."
...
Wait for it.
...
"O-Oh! Well, I don't really have anything going on so we could hang-er-go on a date?"
( ... holding back a chuckle, stepping forward to get closer to the other. )
i've been busy, student council business has me quite tied up lately ... but, i have some free time now
( hinting, hinting.. )
"I mean, obviously I can't just understand what you're going through, and I'm not exactly great with feelings. But, talk to me about it sometimes, I can at least listen."
"Well, I'm willing to trust you if you can't do it for yourself. If I can do that for someone who tried to take everything from me, then I can surely do it for you."
Sighing.

me trusting is ... different compared to me .. practically losing it.
i'm growing still, from all the encounters i've faced.
i don't, want to be bad.

"Even after that, I still couldn't help with what you were going through. I can't act like I don't have feelings for you, but...I want to be someone you can trust enough to help you. But if you can't then...I don't know."
"Don't you think I would've done that already...?"
Trying to contain their voice with shaky breaths.
"I don't want to move on and pretend like I didn't love you. You were going through something because I wanted to be a good person and messed everything up."
+
you're not, honestly. i'm not necessarily here for you to forgive me. maybe just ... explanation. then you'll do what you want with the information.
it's true, you disappeared for a week, i watched that happen...
but i watched you ruin the town building up to that.
โฃ
"Of course you aren't..."
Balling up their hands.
"I would've been there if you need someone, even after you almost attacked me. All I wanted to do was help you after I screwed up and thought it'd be a good idea to save Pirlo, which apparently made me disappear for a week!"

ใ hands into his pocket, he visibly looked anxious. no time was enough to prepare, but he couldn't keep stalling. ใ
yeah .. i know. i already got my earful from them.
but you know i'm .. not really here because of them.
it's you.
Well, they definitely found them. Felice is staring at him with the gifts in their arm, a blank, but torn and upset look in their face.
Pushing up their glasses as they stay silent.
"Topa was worried about you."
ใ this is always difficult , just leaving gifts for felice.
his own attempt at sewing, some flowers and just a note. ใ
what will i do if they come .. ? apologize of course but ...
