Twinkle in the Night
Holly
She suppressed a frown as he refused to look at her after, but she didn't blame him. "All done." She looked down at her paws, feeling more confused now than ever. It had been an incredibly awkward moment for the both of them, and she knew he was an awkward guy to begin with. She didn't get to finish what she was saying, but truth was...she didn't even know what she had wanted to say to begin with let alone how to say it. Yeah he had joined Lirim not too long ago, and they were considered friends now...right? Initially, she thought the feelings she had were because of that forming friendship. But the feelings continued to grow stronger the more time she spent with him, then she chalked it up to some sort of feeling you got when you made a best friend. Were they considered that? Even so, she doubted this was a 'best friend' type of feeling. She knew what a best friend was, even if she never truly had one before. No, this was something...more. She had never been in love before nor felt this way about someone before him, and yet...here she was feeling those things that she knew nothing about. Despite his more reserved nature, he was unintentionally showing her what it felt like to really, really like someone.
"We...I...should go." She still hadn't managed to find her voice. How to redirect the situation they were in. So she nodded and moved to follow him, but stopped after a few steps. Did...he want to be alone now? Her heart pounded against her chest as she thought it over. Doubts started to claw at her mind like a savage beast trying to rip through its prey. The uncertainty she was starting to feel made her almost turn around and run away. But she didn't want things ruined between them because of her hesitation. She had always been the type to just go for it. So why was she hesitating now? Sighing, she continued walking ahead, even passing him by with her eyes on the ground. "I'm going to check out the prize booth, you're welcome to come if you want but you don't have to. I know it's been a long day," There. An invitation if he so chose to accept or deny. Would she be hurt if he decided to leave? Probably. But she would hide that fact away if she could. Problem was, she was too much of an open book to hide things even if she wanted to. Her thoughts spun around in her head so fast, she didn't think it was possible to think as fast as she was. She wanted to say things, but she couldn't find the words. Swallowing back her indecision and doubts, she kept walking whether he decided to follow or not.
