She probably could have worded that better. Wynn had been mulling over whether or not to bring this up though, warring with the decision over in her head to the point where her anxiety was through the roof - and Seto had noticed, of course. It wasn’t like she was very good at hiding it in the first place.
Her nervousness certainly hadn’t helped when it came to her blurting out the statement though, and now there was no taking it back - not when her boyfriend suddenly looked as pale as a ghost. Immediately, she felt guilty for having brought it up - but wouldn’t they have to talk about this eventually? Even just to make sure that they were on the same page?
“I-I’m--” She might have flinched at his harsh demand a little, eyes dropping to where her hands fidgeted in her lap, “I’m not... j-joking.”
Maybe he wanted her to lie, but Wynn wouldn’t do that. They owed it to each other to be honest with their conversations, even if the other party didn’t like the topic. Drawing in a breath to steady herself and clearing her throat, the girl gathered her words as she peeked up timidly towards the young man across from her.
“B-But I-- I meant eventually, n-not-- not n-necessarily now.” They were young, after all, and had plenty of time - but Seto’s reaction had her stomach twisting anxiously, the memory of when she’d first professed loving him slipping into her head unbidden. He hadn’t taken that well, the first time she’d said it, and she had to wonder if this was going to be a repeat of that.
God, she hoped not.
“Do... D-Do you hate the idea that much... ?” she asked quietly, trying to keep her voice steady in the face of his obvious distress.
