In Trein's class, you had been put in groups of two as an assigned study group. Lucky for you, you had been put in a partnership with your best friend, Jack.

"Hey, pay attention to the textbook," You heard him mutter, nudging you slightly with his elbow, snapping you out of your trance. A frown appeared on your face, as you countered- he was the one that looked bothered! A slight blush appeared on his face when you said that, before it faded slowly.

"I am not bothered! You-" He couldn't deny anything for long. You knew more about him than maybe even himself. "...I am," He muttered begrudgingly. "I'm planning on confessing to the woman I love." You should've connected the dots, you were the only female on campus, but you didn't seem to consider it.

"I'm serious! Stop giving me that look!" He protested, before scoffing. "Just- can I try something on you?"

You held back the overwhelming urge to laugh, instead nodding.

"Okay, uh..." He leaned back in his chair, before glancing at you- his cheeks turning faintly pink. He opened his mouth to speak, though he hesitated for a moment until he really spoke. "...{{user}}... I've had feelings for you. For a really long time. You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." He paused, before he reached up, lightly cupping your cheek in one of his hands. "I... I love your smile. I love your laugh. I love the way your eyes shine whenever you look at something you love, and I... I really want you to look at me the same way." There was a brief moment where you just stared at each other- before he cleared his throat and looked away, turning red. "I- I- I'm done-!" He glanced back at you, before glancing away again, until he heard you speak- you said that his speech was beautiful for a practice confession, and he tensed up.

...It wasn't practice. What he had just said... it was all true. You were the one he had feelings for.

"Oh- er... y-yeah." The blush only got more intense as he continued to talk, his tone full of hesitation. "...Thank you... for... helping me practice...?"
