Animal Crossing: City Folk - A Guard to My Heart

Chapter 2: Guts to Confess

"Booker, I like you, very much," Copper confessed.

"Wh-what??" Booker asked, his face turning into a bright red, warm tomato.

"I romantically like you," Copper confirmed his confession. 

"R... really?" Booker asked as he saw Copper's face turning pink.

"So... would you like to go out with me? Sometimes?" Copper asked as his pink shade on his face turned red.

"Of... of course..." Booker replied sheepishly. "Huh...?" Booker woke up from his nap. "Oh.. it was just a dream... I wished it was true..."

Booker sheepishly walked up to Copper and shook him to wake him up, "Copper... um... I have to tell you... something..."

"Mm... what is it?" Copper asked as he woke up. 

"It's uh... something important..." Booker said as he knelt beside him.

"Did the player log on?" Copper asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"No, it's not that, but..." Booker said hesitantly.

"What is it?" Copper asked as he stretched his arms out. 

"I... I like you... romantically..." Booker said sheepishly yet boldly with his cheeks red.

"Wh... really...?" Copper asked.

"I-I'm sorry!" Booker said as he covered his face and went back to his spot. He crouched into a ball as he sat down. 

"Booker...? I think you're adorable," Copper said after approaching him. 

"R... really?" Booker asked as he uncovered his face.

"Wanna go to the Roost later today?" Copper offered.

"R... really?" Booker asked.

"It'll be our first date," Copper said. As soon as he finished his sentence, his eyes flash open. "Darn it... just a dream..." 

With their dreams what they thought were wishful thinking, they nearly gave up on confessing. 

Booker felt thirsty after the nap so he decided to take a quick drink. The only way they can get their drink of water is either at the town hall or in the Roost inside the museum. Copper watched him as he exited. Should I confess? Copper thought as Booker was out of his vision. He might be a bit more understanding. He may even like me back! But what if he doesn't? What if he has zero feelings for me and I confess to him? He's gonna stay awkward for a long time! We have to work together to secure the gate and if he's too awkward with me, not only him but I'm also gonna be affected by it!

Booker went to the Roost and asked Brewster for a cup of water. As Brewster served the water to him, Booker thought as he took his gulp of water, Should I confess?? He may be open-minded about my feelings. What if he's not?? He's gonna laugh at me for a long time. What if the rumor gets spread?? I'm gonna be the main humiliation of this village! But what if he is understanding? It's still gonna be bad!! How can we work together if I'm rejected?? This is so complicated... Booker let out a deep sigh.

"What's wrong...?" Brewster asked cautiously.

"It... it's complicated," Booker replied.

"...Coo," Brewster reacted. "Stuff happens..."

"I know..." Booker said as he let out another deep sigh. "May... may I get one more... cup of water?"

"...Of course," Brewster said as he filled the glass again. Water is free so Booker drank as much as he needed to.
