*her brain went into overdrive, thoughts and interpretations running about what that could mean and her face took on a strawberry color* …I’m a present…? *She whispered to herself, unbelieving. She tried to smile at him to show she appreciated the thought* You know..same here..for me..
*the strawberry and grape stood there in silence for a while before the grape smiled shakily, and he rubbed at his elbow* y-you’re more then that… i. i’ve been in this city for months but i’ve barely stepped out my apartment and… and then i say hello to you and… and i’m outside. i, i’m walking in the snow and going to cafes and meeting people and… and it’s… it’s thanks to you and… i can’t ever thank you and then you spend my birthday with me, a-and say you’ll visit me on christmas y… you’re the best thing to happen to me.
I..I think it was mostly you’re doing.. You’re becoming braver; meeting people and taking a chance to explore the city. I just happen to be by your side during the journey *Smiles shyly as she scuffs her foot on the floor, wondering and slightly denying being the main reason he was becoming braver* It’s all you.
…i-if i didn’t meet you though i don’t… don’t think i would have been brave enough…
