My muse confesses their love to yours.
The words seem to hang in the air for a moment, Kyungsoo's brain taking its sweet time in understanding, and when it does his face turns all shades of red in record time as his mind goes completely blank. He opens and closes his mouth a number of times with no words or sound coming out, perfecting his fish impersonation.
Leave it to Kyungsoo to make a fool of himself right after someone's confession.
Kyungsoo avoids eye contact lest his face explodes from how red it was (he can feel his ears burning), but he figures she needed an answer of some sort, but how do you respond to something like this exactly? And now that he thinks about it, he wasn't sure what he's fussing about. She's younger so he should have been able to deal with this smoothly and shouldn't be freaking out like he is, but it doesn't stop him from doing just that, getting shy and more awkward than he already is. He never did know how to handle things like this before.
"You okay?" she asks after a while and Kyungsoo jumps slightly from surprise, much to his dismay and embarrassment. He gives her a nod though, albeit a shy one and lifts his head a bit to look at her, but before he could say anything else she beats him to it, "You don't have to answer right away you know. We can start by being friends."
Kyungsoo visibly relaxes at that. "Friends... friends sounds nice," he finally replies and she smiles, which he returns slightly that earned him a friendly hair ruffling. He internally whines because he's older, dammit, but with the way his brain is detached from everything else he would probably end up saying something weird so he kept silent and enjoys the small shower of affection instead.
