The Boy I Fell In Love With
The Leap of Trust
Serenity
Nathan, can I ask you something?
Nathan
Anything. You know that.
Serenity
What if… What if we were never meant to be more than friends?
Nathan
You’re asking me that now? After everything?
Serenity
I’m just scared. Scared that if we get too close, things will change, and I’ll lose you.
Nathan
You’re not going to lose me. Not ever.
But the truth is… I’ve always wanted more than just friendship.
I’ve always wanted you.
Serenity
But what if I ruin it?
Serenity
What if I fall short?
Nathan
You can’t ruin something that’s already ours.
And you don’t have to be perfect. I’m not perfect either.
We’re both just figuring this out.
Serenity
It feels like it’s too big. Too overwhelming.
Nathan
Love is always bigger than we expect.
But it doesn’t scare me, Serenity. You don’t scare me.
Serenity
I’m still trying to figure out if I’m ready for this.
I don’t even know how to let someone in this much.
Nathan
You don’t have to figure it all out at once.
One step at a time, right?
I’ll walk with you through all of it, no matter how slow.
Serenity
I don’t want to hurt you, Nathan.
Nathan
You won’t.
But if you ever do, I’ll be right here, waiting to fix things with you.
Because no matter what, we’re in this together.
Serenity
You make it sound so easy. But I’m scared. I’ve never felt like this before.
Nathan
I know. And it’s okay to be scared.
But it’s also okay to be happy. To trust me.
I’ll never hurt you. Promise.
Serenity
I want to believe that.
Nathan
Then you don’t have to believe it all at once.
Just trust me today.
Trust that I’m not going anywhere.
Serenity
Okay… I think I can do that.
Nathan
Good. And no matter what happens, we’ll figure this out. Together.
“I always thought love was something that should be perfect, but with Nathan, I realize it doesn’t need to be. It just needs to be real. And maybe that’s enough.”
