[color=Pink]“Syl… I have a confession to make.”[/color]

A confession..? This was it; this was when he was going to tell her that he didn’t like her; that he wanted nothing more to do with her, and that he would rather her not go on the camping trip with them… She didn’t mind though; not that it wasn’t going to hurt… but even the smallest of moments- the smallest of memories gained from her being held so gently in his arms, from his hand holding so sweetly onto her own...from just being able to sit, and to talk to him without becoming a nervous puddle of pink hair and stutters…

[color=Pink]“I… I uh… I really like you.”[/color]

The very minute the words had left his lips, it was like the world around her stopped; slowing down to the extremities that they had in movies while her heart, instead, decided to lodge itself up into her throat as she did her best to wrap her mind around what it was he had just said, or, well confessed to her.

He-... He liked her..? G-Gage actually liked her..?

Lifting her head up so that she was able to glance over in the direction she could hear his soft voice… his gentle breathing… Syleste took a few more moments to herself, allowing time for the new information to actually sink in and settle within both her mind and body- this had to be a joke of some kind… a cruel and unusual joke that her mind had decided to play on her for some unknown reason. She was dreaming, she had to be; but then it couldn’t be right… she could [i]feel[/i] the warmth of his hand in her own… she could [i]hear[/i] the breath moving in and out of his lungs as though to bring him courage…

This was real… it was all so real…

[color=LightPink]“..G-Gage… I-I, uh…”[/color] Dropping her head down ever so slightly, she shut her eyes tightly, cursing herself internally as she forced herself to take yet another moment, though this time to calm her nerves and the rushed beating of her heart within her chest- argh..! Why was this so hard..? She liked him… a lot; and he had just gone out of his way, and told her outright that he liked her as well..! So why was it this hard to tell him just how she felt..?

Tightening her grip over his hand just that little bit more, she shifted over the backseat, her body straightening ever so slightly before she took in a deep breath through her nose, seeming to hold it in for a good five seconds or so before finally, she let it fall slowly out past her soft pink lips; the action repeating itself a couple more times before her eyes fluttered open, and her attention once more lifted up to where she could still feel him sitting beside her.

[color=LightPink]“..I-I like you too, Gage… like, like you… like [i]really[/i] like, like you…”[/color]
