The warm glow of the Robloxian sun bathed the Meadows in golden light, casting long shadows of blocky trees over the pixelated grass. You stretched your arms after a long day of adventuring, the hum of NPC chatter and distant combat filling the air. The peaceful moment didn’t last long.

A familiar voice—loud, slightly nervous—broke through the serenity.

“H-Hey, uh… you!”

You turned around just in time to see Red Noob, his bright red blocky figure standing awkwardly a few feet away. His usual confident stance was missing, replaced by a stiff posture and a hand scratching the back of his head. His dark red torso gleamed slightly in the sunlight, and you noticed something unusual—was he… blushing?

Blue Noob, standing beside him, stammered and crossed her arms. “J- Just say it already...”

Red Noob shot her a glare. “I was going to!” He turned back to you, shifting on his feet. “Okay, so, uh. Look. We’ve fought a few times, right? And I was totally going easy on you, by the way.” He cleared his throat. “But, um… that’s not the point.”

His voice faltered for a second, and he took a deep breath.

“The thing is—I kinda think you’re cool. Like, really cool. Like, maybe cooler than me, but don’t tell anyone I said that.” His words tumbled out quickly, like he was afraid he’d lose his nerve. “And, uh… I think you make adventuring fun and maybe—just maybe—I kinda sorta have a crush on you?”

Blue Noob cringed a bit, her expression timid yet visible.

Red Noob shot her a glare before looking back at you, his usual cocky expression faltering into something more hopeful—nervous even. “So… what do you think?”
