Confession Session

Confession scene with Chiyo and Aeryn.

-

This is a dangerous situation! Or wait. Perhaps it isn't, but can I really walk away from this situation and still call myself a man?! I've decided that today I'm going to confess my undying love to Aeryn. So I've come to the library and she sits before me. Unconscious. No, it wasn't me. Daydreams are unecessarily seperated from reality, alas.

Aeryn sits with her head rested on her arms. Her messy bangs partially obscure her face, but behind her askew glasses are her closed eyes. For a while I just stand there listening to her breathing and it occurs to me I've never seen her sleeping. Even with all the days she's come to school in the afternoon half-crazed from sleep-deprivation or complaining about having to write tests in the morning, never once have I seen her fall asleep in class or even during lunch break. I would've expected her to be leaning back in her chair and snoring loudly, but dozing peacefully like this is definitely many times cuter.

I'd feel somewhat bad for awakening her. I'd have to face her wrath too. Well, if I confess to her that should distract her! Wait wait, when I confess to her, not if I confess. What's this Chiyo? Rare opportunities like this exist so you can take advantage of them! You can't let your youth go to waste because of a little cold feet. Whether she says yes or says no, your pure and manly heart demands action! Yes, in fact you shouldn't just wake her, you should kiss her! So the pep talk in my head goes but even the great Me gets butterflies in the stomach. Think Chiaki Yosano, what do you do?

--

[  ] Ravish her. With your lips. (results in a very embarassed Aeryn knocking you out cold. You can try to confess later but it'll be even harder to get a good result)

'''[ X ] Wake her up normally. Ravish her after.'''

[  ] You should never bother sleeping beasts. Just back away slowly and hope she doesn't wake up. (bad end. you don't work up the nerve now, and if you try later she rejects you differently depending on affection variable.)

"Hey Aeryn, wake up." I gently shake her shoulder. She groans and stirs, rubbing her eyes and looking up at me with unfocused eyes.

"Chiyo? Why'djou wake m'up?" Oh my. Her half-asleep talk is adorable.

"Aeryn I-" I choke up a little bit as I rethink the most gentlemanly way to do this. Maybe not in the library? There's already two girls looking over here and giggling. I can see Aeryn getting embarassed and causing a scene. Or maybe I'd be causing the scene. In either case, The Librarian is terrifying and disturbing the peace of her Library Kingdom is not something you want to do.

"There's something I wish to speak to you about, but is it alright if we go somewhere more private?"

"Nn...do I have to?" But she stands and grabs her bookbag, albeit rather lethargically.

We walk to the staircase in the northwest wing. It's our usual meeting place since it's almost always empty.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Aeryn asks.

"Aeryn, I like you! Please go out with me!"

She turns to stare at me. Her head tilts sideways very slightly and I' be able to appreciate the cuteness of it except that she hasn't said anything and is wearing a freakishly well maintained poker face. A few agonizing seconds pass.

"A-Aeryn please say something or I might start crying. Ahaha..." I joke about it but damn it isn't at least partially true.

"O-oh, okay. You're serious. Sorry, I uhm...I wasn't sure." She looks away, blushing, and raises a hand to rub the back of her head awkwardly.

"You haven't answered my question."

"We-well it's uh kinda a surprise a-and I-" she stops herself to take a deep breath before continuing, "L-look, before I can answer it, you have to answer my question. Chiyo, why do you like me?"

ending here because I don't actually know how Chiyo would answer. pl0x help?
