YOU:

BLAISE:

YOU:
it's not what i did
it's just
complicated

THEO:
well better get to explaining then

YOU:
so you know how Annalise and I beat up Terrence and knocked him unconscious?

BLAISE:
mhm

THEO:
what, did y'all like make prolonged eye contact or some shit 😍😍😍

BLAISE:
no fr tho
Draco you need to man up
like i swear she likes you
it's kinda obvious

THEO:
literally just make a move
you got this

YOU:
🙄
well something happened between us actually

BLAISE:
this better be good bc i stg if you're just gonna say "she smiled at me" again I'm DONE

THEO:
^

YOU:
nah it was more than that

THEO:
😏
do continue

YOU:
so like after i threw the last punch
he was just kinda lying on the ground and then Annalise looked up at me and was like "you saved me"

BLAISE:
THAT'S MY BOY RIGHT THERE

THEO:
DAMNNNNN

YOU:
THAT'S NOT ALL
THERE'S MORE
IT ONLY GETS BETTER FROM HERE

BLAISE:
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT
KEEP GOING

THEO:
SPILL THE BEANS SISTA

YOU:
so i said smth like "Annalise I'll always save you"

BLAISE:
W FUCKING RIZZ

THEO:
I THINK I'M CRYING TEARS OF PRIDE RN

BLAISE:
^
WHAT HE SAID I'M SO PROUD OF YOU

YOU:
HONESTLY I SHOCKED EVEN MYSELF BY SAYING THAT
BC LET'S BE FR THAT'S THE CLOSEST TO A LOVE CONFESSION I'M EVER GONNA GET
I THINK IT WAS JUST THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT AND THE ADRENALINE

BLAISE:
so what you're saying is you need to beat someone up before every interaction with Annalise?

THEO:
that can most DEFINITELY be arranged.
if needed!

YOU:
lmao guys what
no lol
i just...idk
BUT IT ONLY GETS BETTER.

THEO:
idk how it could POSSIBLY get better than this

BLAISE:
but go on

YOU:
we just kinda kept staring at each other and smiling and then we just both leaned in and
GUYS WE KISSED

THEO:
HEJEHEJFKSJWHIDKF FUCKING FINALLY

BLAISE:
NO FUCKING WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

YOU:
I KNOW RIGHT
IT WAS THE BEST KISS I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE
MERLIN I LOVE THAT GIRL

BLAISE:
OH?
hold up

THEO:
wait a second

YOU:
what??

BLAISE:
i mean me and Theo always joked around abt you being in love w Annalise

THEO:
yeah but are you actually??

BLAISE:
u just said "Merlin I love that girl"

THEO:
which is rly cute dw
just unexpected

YOU:
before the kiss i didn't really know how i truly felt about her
but that kiss sealed it
yes
i am definitely in love with Annalise

THEO:
EXCUSE ME WHILE I PASS OUT

BLAISE:
AHHHHHHHHHGHHHHHHHDHFJJSHEJDK

YOU:
wait!
tho
something happened after the kiss

BLAISE:
wait let me guess
it only gets better?

YOU:
i wish
i could see a kind of weird emotion in her eyes after we pulled away, but i knew it wasn't one of attraction or anything so we actually both said "that was a mistake" at the same time
so i guess it was regret maybe that she was feeling
i only said it bc i didn't want her to know how i felt abt her if she didn't feel the same
so

THEO:
oh Merlin
why does this have to be complicated?
why couldn't y'all have just gotten married?

BLAISE:
that's what i'm saying

YOU:
now i'm just...confused
like did she really think it was a mistake?
did she regret it?
am i in love with someone who doesn't feel even close to the same way?

THEO:
if i had to guess
no, no, and no

BLAISE:
^
maybe she just thought that you would regret it
maybe you had a confusing emotion in your eyes too

THEO:
and she definitely likes you
maybe it was just as confusing for her

YOU:
this sucks

THEO:
we'll figure it out

YOU:
but you guys can't tell anyone we kissed
okay?

BLAISE:
got it

THEO:
my lips are sealed
