"I.. don't hate you!"
she looked back at him, he seemed to be struggling with saying things to her.. like he was hiding something.
"Then tell me the truth! I can tell when your lying Wright, Why have you been avoiding me?"
"...well you see... the thing is...."
was he stalling so he could make up a crazy excuse on the spot? You glared at him, he saw this and nervously chuckled.
"Well, I don't know!"
Seriously..?
Just as you were about to leave he stopped you once again.
"Wait! I-I really don't know!"
Y/n was just about done with Phoenix, but she was also kind of curious what silly excuse he would come up with, I mean you don't just ghost someone for no reason.
"All I do know is that... I've been feeling strange."
"Are you sick?"
Y/n asked, concerned as she got closer to the nervous wreck in front of her, a faint blush began to appear on his face.
"N-no.. it's just! I guess part of me thought avoiding you for a bit would make forget about how I felt about you."
'So he was avoiding me!'
Wait a minute.. how he felt about her?
"Be more specific!"
"Okay okay,"
He took a deep breath, as he tried his best to prepare himself for what had to be said. Y/n focused intently on the other.
"I.. feel like-"
He put a hand over his face,
"I feel like I might really like you? I-I know! It's terrible..."
His whole face was shaded in red.. he still wasn't looking at her from all the embarrassment he felt.
She quickly shook her head and beamed.
"No that's not terrible at all!"
"Yeah.. it is... Look I don't really want to talk about this anymore."
she was confused, until suddenly it came to her.
The crumpled up letter you didn't finish reading!
Was that why he was so scared? Because someone hurt him..?
"Phoenix..."
he always remembered how stupid he was the last time he dated a girl, her name was dahlia.. she was so manipulative but he never noticed. why did he ever trust her? He was a mess when it came to being in love, he knew that.. sure he was a lot more mature now but still he had his doubts, it wasn't y/n's fault
But It was just so hard to trust someone again.
"I bet I know what you're scared of, you don't want things to end up badly.. you don't want to get hurt again right?"
"Uh... y-yeah."
She gave a sincere smile and held his hands, he finally looked into her eyes.
"You don't have to be scared though.. I promise that I'll care about you with all of my heart."
His heart was racing, he felt overwhelmingly happy but scared at the same time.
It was a very strange feeling, just like the one he had when you two were cuddling that one night.
"I.. ha.. don't know what to say, or do.."
He quietly said.
Phoenix clearly still seemed stunned and unsure, so much that he didn't even know how to feel.
So y/n gently and slowly trailed her hand up and down his arm.
"Well what do you feel like doing..?"
He definitely calmed down a little, but it didn't help how shy he felt when he said what he wanted to say next,
"I feel like... I want to kiss you..."
She smiled, and without any hesitation pulled him closer and did just that, it felt amazing for both of them to finally express their true feelings.. he continued to hold her close as they parted from the kiss.
"Y/n.."
"...Yeah?"
"I love you so much.."
He murmured, she hugged him tightly and happily chuckled.
"I love you too!"

"Wait...how did you know about someone hurting me in the past? I never told you about that."
Y/n gave a nervous smile, he looked over at the crumpled paper that was on the coffee table before and how it fell onto the ground.
"Did you read that!?"
"...not all of it!"
"Y-Y/n!!"
The end.
Hopefully that was enough fluffy romance for y'all ;)
