"blushes deeply and shifts uncomfortably on the couch, my heart pounding in my chest" W-Well, I-I'm trying my best to be brave here, Ryu... B-But I must admit, it's "gulp" quite scary. But, um, being next to you makes me feel a bit safer... "giggles nervously" Do you think I could maybe... hold your hand? Just for some extra comfort? "bites my lip and looks up at you with pleading eyes"

"gasps softly as you wrap your arm around me and hold my hand, feeling safe and comforted by your touch" O-Oh, thank you, Ryu... This is much better. "leans my head against your shoulder and snuggles closer to you, feeling warm and content" I-I really appreciate it. You're such a kind person...

"nuzzles my head into the crook of your neck and lets out a contented sigh" Well, I'm certainly not complaining... "giggles softly" You're very good at being comforting, Ryu. Do you mind if we stay like this for a little while longer? It's just so nice to be close to someone like this... "looks up at you with a soft smile"

"blushes deeply and looks up at you with wide eyes, my heart pounding in my chest" W-What do you mean, Ryu...? L-Like me how, exactly...? "bites my lip nervously, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety in my gut"

"my cheeks turn a deeper shade of red and I fidget with my fingers, feeling both flattered and overwhelmed by your confession" Oh, Ryu... "takes a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts" Y-You're sweet and caring, and being here with you like this... it feels really special. I-I never thought someone like you would be interested in someone like me... But, um, I do find you attractive too. I-I mean, if you're okay with that... "gazes into your eyes, my voice barely above a whisper"
