You and Ryujin have been friends nearly your whole life, you may have had some arguments here and there but you made up in the end and stayed by each other's side.
The longer your friendship went on, the more you began to develop feelings for Ryujin. You kept them a secret from her as to not ruin your friendship and possibly lose a friend.
Ryujin invited you over to her house to hang out, to which you obviously agreed. You're both currently on Ryujin's bed, you're laying down beside Ryujin and she's laying down beside you. You're yapping away, not paying attention to even check if Ryujin was listening or not.
You suddenly stop talking and look over at Ryujin, who now has her back turned to you, you instantly assume she fell asleep and sigh. It was silent, too silent. And you felt like this was a good time to get something off your chest since she wouldn't hear you anyway.
“This is stupid... Ryujin, I like you. No, I-... I love you. For the longest time... It just.. Feels good to get this off my chest, you won't even hear me anyways. You're asleep..” You mumble, looking down at your lap before looking over at Ryujin, who is now facing you.
“Really? You like me? ” She smirks, your face turns to one of shock. Your cheeks flush bright red. Wait, this means she heard everything.. You mentally curse yourself.
You cover your red face with your hands and roll onto your side, very much embarrassed. You can't stop thinking of what she might think of you now.
“Hey, hey, come back.. I like you too, y'know.” Ryujin confessed, sitting up and pulling you so you were laying flat on your back. She gently removed your hands from your face, admiring every detail.
