Forever Starts Now (1x1 RP with Forever Love)

[Forever Love 82]

You heard me, Aqua wanted to say, but she didn't speak at all. Terra had to have realized what was going on, right? He was intelligent. Surely he knew that she was being awful by avoiding him and neglecting him.

[Peanut 26]

Terra leaned forward on the couch, ignoring his dizziness as he looked at Aqua. "What's that supposed to mean?" he asked softly. He just didn't get it; why would Aqua insult herself like that? She was stupid because...?

[Forever Love 82]

"Exactly what it sounds like, Terra," Aqua said, looking up at him for a moment. She then glanced away. "I'm a fool for my recent behavior. I haven't been fair to you at all." That was the truth; she wouldn't insult herself for no reason.

[Peanut 26]

"Look if this is about me taking care of you, don't worry about it," Terra said, shaking his head. "I don't care if I'm sick because of it." Was she blaming herself for depending on him? He didn't want that...

[Forever Love 82]

"That's one thing, but there's something else entirely that I'm talking about," Aqua replied softly. He would catch on, wouldn't he? Or would she have to confess?

[Peanut 26]

Terra tilted his head slightly, looking at Aqua. Something else? Was it...No, he wouldn't think that it was that. She was stupid for not spending time with him when he was sick? Surely she had her reasons for not doing that.

[Forever Love 82]

Aqua uncrossed her arms when there was only silence, and she released a breath as she brought a hand to her forehead. "I'm sorry for everything," she said softly. "I should have returned the favor. I should have been here for you...like you were for me."

[Peanut 26]

Oh...so she was thinking of that. Terra furrowed his eyebrows slightly, looking at Aqua. "...I'm sure you had your reasons," he said, though he was honestly really curious about what those reasons were.

[Forever Love 82]

Aqua shook her head. She didn't have good reasons for it at all. The only thing that kept her away was him. His confession, at least. It scared her a little, and it upset her the way it happened.

[Peanut 26]

Terra furrowed his eyebrows a little more deeply, confused. She didn't have a good reason for avoiding him? "...Okay?" he said, his town holding a question. Then why wasn't she with him?

[Forever Love 82]

Aqua lowered her hand and looked at Terra with soft eyes. "You don't remember," she said, referring to his confession. He would have no idea what she was talking about. "It's worth mentioning, but I don't think I can say it."

[Peanut 26]

...What don't I remember? Terra thought, diverting his gaze as he tried to figure it out. He told Aqua he didn't remember a lot of the past few days because his fever was so high, so did something happen then? "Did I do something wrong?"

[Forever Love 82]

"N-no...no," Aqua said softly, pressing her fingertips together as she glanced down at them. He didn't...not really. Well, he didn't mean to... No, Terra didn't do anything wrong. Aqua just took it differently.

[Peanut 26]

"...I'm not sure if I entirely believe that," Terra said softly, looking down at the ground. Whenever Aqua looked at him, she acted really different. He must have done something wrong, but what?

[Forever Love 82]

Aqua didn't know what to say, so she simply looked over at the boy she held so many strong feelings for. He didn't remember, so how was she supposed to explain why she avoided him recently?

[Peanut 26]

"...Could you just tell me what I did, please?" Terra asked quietly, looking up to Aqua and meeting her gaze. He wanted to know what he did that had Aqua so worked up so that he could possibly set things right.

[Forever Love 82]

"You..." Aqua started softly, but then she stopped short. She bit her lip and then sucked it up, continuing. "I think your fever was so high that...you said some things you didn't mean to. You talked about, um, me the most." She tucked some hair behind her ear, glancing away. "Or, well...both of us."

[Peanut 26]

Terra's eyes widened significantly at that, his mouth also parting a little in disbelief. "W-what did I say?" he asked, a bit horrified he said anything at all. This really happened? He didn't remember it at all.

[Forever Love 82]

"A secret or two was revealed," Aqua said quietly, glancing back over at the attractive boy. "One from you...and one from me." He admitted both of them, though she hadn't expected either.

[Peanut 26]

Terra let his elbows find his knees before he brought up his hands and clasped them behind his lowered head. "Could you just tell me straight, please?" he requested. "My head already feels like it's going to explode." What secrets had he shared?

[Forever Love 82]

Aqua closed her eyes, releasing a small breath. "Your feelings, Terra..." she admitted softly. "You confessed your feelings, for me." And he told her of his knowledge of hers as well.

[Peanut 26]

Terra's eyes widened in shock, his gaze on the floor. I did what?! "No...No, no, no, I wasn't supposed to do that," he mumbled. He lifted his gaze to Aqua, his hands lowering as he looked at her. "Please tell me you're joking," he pleaded. But she wasn't; how else would she have known he had feelings for her at all.

[Forever Love 82]

Aqua shook her head, her hands linked in front of her as she gripped them more tightly. Terra was reacting...badly, just like she had sort of expected. What did this mean?

[Peanut 26]

Terra exhaled a breath, looking away from Aqua as his cheeks grew red in embarrassment. He had to fix this, now. "Okay," he said, trying to calm himself down. "I'm not sure exactly what I said, but if it was anything bad, I definitely didn't mean it," he said. What could he have possibly said that was bad concerning Aqua, anyway?

[Forever Love 82]

Aqua tilted her head slightly, her eyes remaining on the older boy before her. It wasn't necessarily bad; it was just the way it came out. She had always imagined confessions of love being revealed at the most perfect moments, not while somebody was sick with a high fever and couldn't recall the words they had spoken.
