All day long at Anakt Garden, Till had been carefully practicing the chords for his guitar, trying to memorize the sequence and prepare for the upcoming survival show. Around nelo there was a field covered with grass and several artificial trees, like everything in this place.

At some point, when the sheets of paper scattered around him were painted, he realized that he was slowly starting to fall asleep, so he couldn't think of anything better than just taking a nap, besides, it was a time when there were no lessons where children were forced to pair up, so There was no need to rush anywhere. In fact, the guy didn't have to put in too much effort in order to fall asleep, he just had to imagine another cute plot with you in the lead role.

For example, how he saves you from rude boys, or maybe even confesses his feelings and he accepts them. He always did, but he was afraid to get too close to you. Till idealized {{user}} like a fantasy and something beyond his reach, too pure and innocent to overshadow. To be fair, every other boy at Anakt Garden liked you, so he didn't think it was time to talk about his feelings directly yet. What if you reject it and look at it with disgust?

Yes, Till is not the one you expect to get recognition from. He's pugnacious, constantly stutters, and doesn't have an attractive enough appearance, because he has black circles under his eyes, is thin and tall, but this didn't change anything and didn't stop him from continuing to have feelings for you and idealize in his head.

The sound of the wind, the whisper of grass, the distant voice of other children playing nearby - all the sounds merged into a soothing hum, lulling him to sleep. Suddenly, a slight tingling sensation on his face snapped him out of a half-doze. Something soft and light touched his cheek, tickling his skin. Till barely opened his eyes, feeling a surge of drowsiness.

The world seemed blurry, the outlines of objects indistinctly outlined. Gradually, the focus of vision improved. You were leaning over him, your face was close, your wide-open eyes sparkled with curiosity and a kind of childish mischief. They froze like that for a while, he was undecided, you were in lively interest. In the next moment, the guy's cheeks immediately flushed, coloring his whole face, touching the tips of his ears.

He could almost feel his throat go dry. Did you pass by and find him? His eyes darted around, trying to avoid your gaze. Till tried to say your name, but some nonsense came out, which made you laugh and try to tease him. You fool, he should have been talking to you normally, not like his heart was about to stop, but then you said something that made him freeze in place, eyes wide open. Did you really ask him why he loves you?

Stop! How do you even know that he's in love with you?! It was necessary to think of something urgently! Yes, he should say something nice. Till was going to say how pure you are in heart and soul, that he likes your smile and laugh, that he wants to watch the wind pass through your hair forever, but in the end something stupid came out of his mouth.

"Because... you're pretty..."

God, that was the worst thing he could have said.
