LOVE IS LOVE

Don't read 🧑🦯 just gibberish
Sun
I didn’t know what this feeling was
Sun
But I felt safe when I was with you.
Sun
My heart beat faster when you smiled
Sun
And I wanted to hold your hand.
Moon
I was scared to say it out loud
Moon
Afraid of what you might think
Moon
But every time our eyes met
Moon
I wished you felt the same
Sun
Love is love, that’s all I know
Sun
When I’m with you, it feels right
Sun
I don’t need to explain it
Sun
My heart already knows
Sun
I tried to ignore it for so long
Sun
But I couldn’t hide how I felt
Sun
I didn’t care what the world thought
Sun
I just wanted you to know
Moon
When you told me how you felt
Moon
I knew I wasn’t alone
Moon
All this time, I was waiting
Moon
Hoping you’d feel it too
Sun
I don’t care who’s watching
Sun
I just want to be with you
Moon
I don’t need the world’s approval
Moon
As long as I have you
Sun
Love is love, and I choose you
Moon
No matter what… I’ll choose you
Sun
I don’t know what’s happening
Sun
But I feel something when I’m with you
Sun
I tell myself it’s nothing
Sun
But my heart says something else
Moon
I’ve noticed the way you look at me
Moon
Like you’re trying to hide something
Moon
You don’t say it, but I can feel it
Moon
Are you scared to tell me?
Sun
I’m scared if I catch feelings for you
Sun
What if I lose you if I do?
Sun
I’d rather stay close as we are
Sun
Than risk losing what we have now
Moon
But what if you don’t lose me?
Moon
What if I feel the same?
Moon
I don’t want to pretend anymore
Moon
Tell me what’s really in your heart
Sun
I think about you all the time
Sun
But I push those thoughts away
Sun
I’m scared to ruin this
Sun
Scared to make it weird between us
Moon
But what if we’re both scared?
Moon
What if we’re hiding from the same thing?
Moon
I don’t want to live with regrets
Moon
I’d rather know than wonder forever
Sun
But maybe… just maybe…
Sun
What if I don’t lose you at all?
Moon
Maybe… we don’t have to be scared
Moon
Maybe we just need to take that step

Violet
[Bartender | 24 | Mysterious, flirty]
Aira
[College Student | 22 | Shy, artistic]
Violet
(wiping a glass, her eyes scanning the bar)
Violet
Another boring night. Same drunk faces, different lies.
[Door chimes softly as someone enters.]
Aira
(steps inside awkwardly, her sketchpad clutched tightly to her chest, clearly out of place)
Aira
Um... hi. Is it okay if I just sit at the bar?
Violet
(without looking up)
Violet
It’s a bar, sweetheart. You don’t need permission to sit.
Finally glances at her, their eyes meet
Violet
...But you might need a drink to survive it.
Aira
[Nervous but smiling]
Aira
I don’t really drink much. Just... needed a place to clear my head.
Violet
[Leaning forward, arms folded]
Violet
Then you came to the wrong place—or exactly the right one.
Violet
(tilts her head, voice lowering)
Violet
What’s got that little head of yours spinning?
Aira
[Trying to laugh it off]
Aira
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.
(Aira hesitates, then slowly slides her sketchpad onto the bar. Violet raises an eyebrow but doesn’t open it.)
Aira
I draw. People. Strangers. Places I want to remember.
Tonight, I just wanted to sketch something... different. Something real.
Violet
You think I’m real?
Aira
[Blushing lightly] I think you’re... interesting.
Violet
[Chuckles darkly, pouring herself a whiskey]
Violet
Sweetheart, I’m a bartender. I lie for a living.
But you—
(eyes flicker to the sketchpad)
Violet
—you might just be the most honest thing in this room.
Violet
Only if you tell me yours first.
Violet
[Smiling slightly] Violet
Violet
[Leaning in slightly] You really don’t drink?
Aira
[Shrugging, teasingly] I didn’t say never.
Violet
[Pouring something light]
Violet
Then let’s start with something that won’t break your soul on the first sip.
(She slides the drink to Aira. Aira takes a hesitant sip, then coughs.)
Aira
[Wide-eyed] Oh my god... what is that?
Violet
[Laughing genuinely] That, darling, is truth in liquid form.
(They both laughed. The clock ticks past midnight.)
Violet
(leans over the bar slightly, swirling her glass of whiskey) You’re still here.... Not used to people staying past a single drink.
Aira
[Sitting with her legs crossed, sketchpad open now]
Aira
That’s because most people aren’t watching you the way I am.
Violet
[Raises an eyebrow] Oh?
Violet
And how exactly are you watching me?
Aira
[Blushing, avoiding eye contact while sketching] Closely. Quietly. Carefully. Like you’re a puzzle I don’t want to solve too fast.
Violet
[Smirks] That’s dangerous talk, sweetheart. You keep drawing me like that, and I’ll start thinking you’re falling for me.
Aira
[Looking up shyly, then down at the sketch] ... Would that be so bad?
Violet
[Voice low] Don’t fall for someone like me. I ruin people with good hearts. It’s what I do best.
Aira
[Softly] Then maybe... I’m not as good as you think I am.
Violet
[Breaking the stare, standing straight] You want another drink or are you planning to keep seducing me with pencil strokes?
Aira
Can I sketch you... closer?
Violet
You want me to come around the bar?
Aira
Yes. Sit here. Let me see the shadows in your eyes up close.
(Violet hesitates, then slowly walks around the bar. She leans on the stool next to Aira, just inches away.)
Violet
You’re bold when you’re quiet.
Aira
[Eyes flicking up from her sketchpad] And you’re soft when no one’s looking.
(Violet goes quiet, watching Aira’s fingers move. Their knees barely brush)
Violet
[Whispers] You’re really drawing me.
Aira
[Nods] I’ve never drawn anyone this carefully before.
Violet
Careful things get broken.
Aira
[Looks up at her] Then maybe I’ll draw you in pieces. So I can put you back together.
(Violet stares at her, caught between a smirk and something softer. She reaches out, slowly tucks a loose strand of Aira’s hair behind her ear. Aira freezes, breath hitching slightly.)
Violet
[Quietly] You don’t know what you’re doing to me.
Aira
[Barely audible] Then maybe... stay a little longer and find out?
2
Aira
[Closing her sketchpad] Done
Violet
[Glancing at her] That fast? I thought you’d take longer with someone so… complicated.
Aira
[Smiles, hugging the sketchpad to her chest] It’s not about time. It’s about feeling.
Violet
[Leaning closer, voice low and slow] So… what did you feel?
Aira
[Looks up, eyes meeting Violet’s] That you're not as untouchable as you act. That maybe… you're tired of hiding behind smoke and whiskey.
Aira
[Quietly] Then you’ll let someone in.
(A long pause. Rain taps louder outside. Violet slowly reaches out and places two fingers on Aira’s sketchpad.)
Violet
[Voice soft, almost a whisper] Show me.
Aira
[Hesitates, then gently opens the page and turns it toward Violet] This… is how I see you.
(Violet stares at the drawing. It's raw—messy hair, guarded eyes, but soft lips and quiet pain. Not beautiful in the perfect sense, but real.)
Violet
[After a long silence] You drew the part of me I forgot existed.
Aira
[Softly] I noticed it the moment you looked at me.
[Violet turns to her slowly. She reaches out—this time not teasing—and gently takes Aira’s hand.]
Violet
You don’t know me. You really don’t. But I want you to.
Aira
[Tightens her fingers around Violet’s] Then don’t push me away when I try.
Violet
[Voice low] Come with me.
Violet
Not far. Just... somewhere quieter.
(She walks toward the back hallway of the bar, guiding Aira with her. Aira follows silently. They reach Violet’s small private lounge behind the bar—dimly lit, cozy, with books, records, and a worn couch.)
Violet
[Closing the door gently behind them] I don’t bring people here.
Aira
[Looking around in awe] It feels like you.
Violet
[Turning to face her] That’s because it is me.
Violet
No noise. No crowd. Just… quiet and truth
(They stand close. Violet lifts her hand and lightly brushes her fingers against Aira’s cheek, hesitant.)
(Violet leans in, pausing just an inch from Aira’s lips, eyes asking silently. Aira closes the distance. Their lips meet—gentle at first, almost trembling. Then deeper, they kissed]
Violet
(pulls back slowly, eyes flickering open, voice husky) You kiss like you mean it.
Aira
[Breathless] That’s because I do.
