❛  i can't stop thinking about you even when i try.  ❜ ❛  every time i see you, it's like my heart skips a beat.  ❜ ❛  i never realized how much i needed you until you weren't there.  ❜ ❛  do you ever feel like there's something missing ... like a piece of your heart is somewhere else?  ❜ ❛  i wish i had the courage to tell you how i feel.  ❜ ❛  if only you knew how much you truly mean to me.  ❜ ❛  do you ever wonder what it would be like if things were different between us?  ❜ ❛  sometimes i wonder if you ever think about me the way i think about you.  ❜ ❛  i had a lot of dreams about you recently.  ❜ ❛  somehow, you're always on my mind.  ❜ ❛  i think i've been in love with you since the day we met - scratch that, i know i've been in love with you since the day we met.  ❜ ❛  my biggest wish is to hold you close and never let you go.  ❜ ❛  all my life i've felt like a part of me was missing, but with you i've finally found it.  ❜ ❛  you deserve better than who i am right now, but i'm gonna keep trying to become someone you do deserve.  ❜ ❛  every time you smile at me, i get this flutter in my chest.  ❜ ❛  do you think i'll ever be worthy of your love?  ❜ ❛  i want to be the person to make you happy. the one person you can always come to with whatever you need.  ❜ ❛  will we ever get another chance together?  ❜ ❛  you were the best thing that's ever happened to me.  ❜ ❛  my biggest regret is ever letting you go.  ❜ ❛  i'm still in love with you ... and i honestly never stopped.  ❜ ❛  when i wake up in the morning, you're the first person i want to see.  ❜ ❛  every time i wake up, i check if you wrote me another message.  ❜ ❛  i wish i could be as important to you as you are to me.  ❜ ❛  it hurts when you don't talk to me like you used to.  ❜ ❛  i miss everything about you, your touch, your laugh, your smile. i wish i could have that back.  ❜ ❛  i want to fall asleep wrapped in your arms.  ❜ ❛  hold me closer; i always feel safer when you're with me.  ❜ ❛  there's so much i wish i was able to tell you.  ❜ ❛  i know things aren't easy right now, but i want to remain a fixture in your life. after all, you're one in mine.  ❜ ❛  i miss the way you always made me smile.  ❜ ❛  you're the reason i keep holding on.  ❜ ❛  maybe we're supposed so to remain a case of 'right person, wrong time' forever.  ❜ ❛  if only you knew how i feel about you.  ❜ ❛  i'm yearning to hold your hand in mine.  ❜ ❛  i think you are the one for me, and i hope one day i'll be the one for you, too.  ❜ ❛  do you think i'll ever become more than a friend to you?  ❜ ❛  my heart belongs to you, always and forever.  ❜ ❛  my first instinct is to protect you, no matter the cost.  ❜ ❛  i've been thinking about us a lot lately.  ❜

          “ edwin ! ”  niko  chirps  as  her  eyes  look  up  from  her  manga,  letting  the  book  flip  closed  and  setting  it  over  on  her  nightstand  as  edwin  approaches.  she  listens,  watching  with  interest,  eyes  flickering  from  his  face  to  what  he  holds  in  his  hands,  and  nods.

          taking  the  box  from  him,  she  scoots  over  on  her  bed  to  make  room,  patting  the  spot  beside  her.  her  bright  gaze  studies  the  plastic  box  a  few  moments  more  before  she  says,  “ it’s  okay,  i’m  actually  somewhat  of  an  expert  when  it  comes  to  crafts. ”  she  dares  not  to  think  back  to  the  mishap  with  jenny  and  her  stalker,  much  less  speak  it  out  loud.

          ridding  her  mind  of  the  thought,  she  instead  beams  at  edwin.  “ i  didn’t  know  you  liked  friendship  bracelets !  that’s  so  cute !  who  are  we  making  one  for ? ”  she  has  a  few  ideas  of  a  few  certain  people  who  would  probably  love  to  receive  a  bracelet  from  edwin,  but  she  keeps  the  thought  to  herself…for  now.

          carefully,  she  opens  the  box  and  sorts  the  supplies,  gaze  flitting  to  edwin  momentarily  as  she  asks,  “ or  let  me  rephrase—who  are  we  making  one  for  first ? ”

"hello, niko," edwin announces as he phases through her door, a small box tucked underneath his arm. "i have somewhat of a proposition for you, if you'll be so inclined to indulge me for a moment? i was introduced to the concept of friendship bracelets, and after doing some research, i inquired crystal to purchase one for me. it, uh- took a bit of persuading, but... here." 

he extends the clear plastic box towards her; a bracelet making kit, containing the essentials of multicolored beads, string and assembly tools inside. a pensive look crosses his features, suddenly shy and consciously out of his element.

"i am... quite unfamiliar with the mechanics of constructing such accessories, and, well... i was hoping perhaps you would assist me...?"
