“[Name], I would like to tell you something. I-I like…”
“You like what?”
“I like y-you…r weapon! I-Is that custom-made or did you buy that?”
–
The blonde lady walked back and forth in her office, biting on their nails which was an unusual thing for her to do. Jean looked nervous and worried; she was restless. Muttering words underneath her breath and only she could hear.
“I’m going to confess today. I shall confess today. I will confess today. I really am going to confess today.” She repeated those words like a mantra, trying to summon her courage and strength. She already went to Vennessa’s place and asked for guidance and strength on what she’s about to do. Honestly, she’s been planning on confessing to [Name] for weeks already but kept on backing out.
She’ll take them out to eat, would talk to them or strike a conversation with them whenever they see them, or would occasionally call them to her office and ask them to do something. However, she always hesitated and backs out. She held feelings for [Name] for so long. The more she keeps it in, the more she struggles and wants to let it all out.
Her feelings started as a small seed that blossomed into a huge tree.
She might have started to become more and more obvious with her feelings now. Perhaps [Name] already knows about it and isn’t just saying anything about it? The more she thinks about it, the more she gets worried. She isn’t like this. Where did the composed and calm Jean go?
The sound of the door opening was heard, interrupting her train of thoughts and grabbing her attention. Her head immediately turned to the direction of the door and was expecting to see [Name] as she called for her, however, it was only Lisa, entering the office with a small smile on her face.
“Oh, Lisa, it’s just you.” She says and sighed, walking towards her seat.
“Why does it sound like you’re disappointed that it was me?” Lisa said and chuckled in the end. Jean only smiled at her before she opened her mouth to speak, “I apologize. I’m just tired at the moment.”
“Still haven’t confessed to [Name]?” Even without Jean telling Lisa about the feelings she has for [Name], Lisa already knows about it and even told her that she already knew about it before Jean realized it. Lisa wasn’t naïve when it comes to this kind of thing. Even with the smallest and subtle thing, she would easily notice it.
“I still haven’t.”
“Hmm, you keep on hesitating, don’t you? Are you afraid that they’ll reject you?”
Jean was off-guarded by this question of hers. Maybe she is, maybe she isn’t.
“I don’t know. It’s just that it feels like I’ll lose everything.”
“I see, that’s understandable. You can take your time, prepare yourself, and such. Nothing good will happen if you rush it. Although if you take too long, someone might take them away from you.” She said while smiling sweetly at her but the tone of her voice when she said the last sentence sounded threatening and dangerous. Jean unconsciously raised her guard and the expression on her face became serious as the atmosphere of the room became heavy and tense.
A cold silence surrounded the two of them before it was broken by a series of gentle knocks on the door which grabbed their attention.
“Miss Jean? It’s me, [Name]. You called for me.” A voice was heard coming from outside. In that instance, the heavy tension in the air disappeared and faded away from existence as if it never existed. Jean cleared her throat before she spoke, fixing her posture and expression. Lisa only chuckled at this reaction of hers.
“Oh, [Name], come in.” Jean said in a gentle voice and the door soon opened after revealing [Name]. They were wearing casual clothing and it seems like today was their rest day but she still called for her.
“I apologize for calling you here despite today being your day-off.”
“Ah, n-no. It’s fine, you don’t have to apologize. If it’s for you, I would do anything!” [Name] slipped there and once they realized what they just said, they immediately covered their mouth and mentally slapped their selves. Lisa laughed shortly at this and Jean only blinked their eyes multiple times whilst staring at the embarrassed [Name].
“O-Oh, I see. I’m glad to hear that.”
“I’m sorry… Please just ignore what I said. I must have made you uncomfortable with it.”
“No, no, no, don’t apologize. You didn’t make me uncomfortable. In fact, I’m kind of glad though it feels like you’re only saying that to make me feel better or something. If ever it feels like I’m forcing you to do things that you don’t want to do, please do tell me.”
“I-I will.”
Lisa only watched this scene that feels like it came out of a play or a book in front of her. She was kind of amused by what’s happening to the point that she decided to do something to quench her curiosity about how her friend would react.
“Sorry to intrude your conversation but [Name], darling, I would like to ask you something.”
Lisa grabbed the attention of the [male/female] in front of them making them turn their head towards their direction. It also acquired Jean’s attention made her look at Lisa, curious about what she’s about to do and ask.
“Have you read the book that I’ve lent you?”
“Oh, which one?”
“The most recent one. The one with a strong and compassionate main character who went on an adventure around the world.”
“Oh, that one! I just finished reading it and it was awesome!”
“I’m glad to hear that, cutie. When are you planning on returning the book?”
“O-Oh, is it urgent? I can return it tomorrow!”
Jean only listened and watched them talk to each other. Lisa was smiling and giggling while she spoke and [Name] has a huge smile plastered on their face accompanied by a bright and happy expression. It looked like they were having fun as they talked to Lisa. Jean felt some sort of heavyweight resting on his shoulder and a tightening feeling in her chest.
Lisa’s words rang inside her head, “…You can take your time, prepare yourself, and such. Nothing good will happen if you rush it. Although if you take too long, someone might take them away from you.”
“No, not really but if it’s taking so long, I might punish you. Well, maybe if you’ll do something—"
She interrupted their conversation, standing up from her seat and walking towards [Name]’s direction before abruptly grabbing their hand. She lost her composure and she doesn’t know what she’s doing.
“Miss Jean?”
“[Name], come with me.”
Her voice sounded gentle but serious before she pulled [Name] with her as she walked. [Name] only let herself be dragged by Jean, not knowing how to react. I mean, it’s the person that they’re in love with who’s holding their hand and dragging them away. Lisa only waved at them goodbye, happy, and satisfied with the reaction she received from Jean.
Eventually, they reached the door of the headquarters and before Jean could open the door and leave, realization struck her like a lightning and making her let go of [Name]’s hand.
“A-Ah, I apologize for just dragging you away like that.”
“No, it’s fine. I’m just curious about why you suddenly called me to your office.”
“Oh, about that…” Jean sighed and regained her composure before she spoke. This is it; I’m going to take this chance.
“I actually need to tell you something but before that, let me take you somewhere.”
–
A huge tree stood in the middle of the place, crystalfies were seen all around the place along with some dandelions. There was a Statue of the Seven found in front of the tree and the whole place looks magical as if it came straight out of a fairytale book. Jean who just went here hours ago came back once again and brought [Name] with her.
“This looks magical.”
“I know. I always go to this place whenever it feels like I’m going to give up or when I feel lost. Sometimes I go here to relax and calm down.”
“I see.”
“And sometimes, I also go here when I have things that I want to say. Although this time, I bought someone with me because I want to tell them about those things.”
“Things that you want to say? To me?”
[Name] turned to look at Jean, their eyes meeting each other. Jean smiled at her before fully turning around and faced her. The gentle wind suddenly blew and the sounds of leaves and grass rustling were heard, their hair fluttered along with the wind along with petals from dandelion flowers around them. Somehow, [Name]’s heart started to beat fast. They were nervous but at the same time excited about what Jean wants to say.
“First, I just want to let you know that I hope nothing will change even after I tell you this. I hope that you’ll still stay the same and not treating me differently. I am quite afraid that I might lose you as soon as I will tell you this and I don’t want that to happen. I’m afraid to lose you, lose everything. However, I just can’t hold it in anymore.”
“I like you, [Name].”
She said it, finally.
After backing out many times, hesitation, and moments of doubt, the words slipped out of her mouth. The things that she has wanted to say and the three words that [Name] wants to hear the most. [Name] couldn’t help but smile at this, happiness written all over her face before she opened her mouth to speak.
“You know, I also have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“I also like you. I am in love with you, Jean.”
After many sleepless nights, sessions of daydream, countless wishes, and hope, what they’ve wanted the most was given to them.
Meanwhile, Lisa and Kaeya from afar.
“You think they finally confessed to each other?”
“Oh, I’m sure they did. I would be frustrated if they still haven’t.”
