Somehow the check up with Nan had turned to the inevitable “Talk”.
It was clear that Nan was confused, struggling with her emotions.
Vitor realized he was more scared now than when Dela held him at disruptor point.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he took his hands a little further down the armrest. Vitor opened his eyes and looked at Nan.
Silveira: Nan… Doubts, fears, questions are normal with these emotions. It’s… It’s like we say… It’s only human… The thing here is that it's mutual… At least it looks like it to me. We have pretty much the same feelings for one another… And… That is good… Right?
She dropped her gaze to her lap.
Jovenan: I think so. But, I just, I don’t know.
He took another deep breath. They were so different. Nan was much more shy, much more demure than him. He was an atomic bomb of emotions, easy and quick to passion.
But he was trying to be as careful as possible, not to make things worse. Emotional and yet rational… Which was a weird combination in his mind.
He just hoped he wasn’t putting his feet in front of his hands.
Silveira: OK so… The big question is… Why would it be a problem to fall in love? Is it me? Is it a cultural thing? Is it your first time? Because I don’t want anything better than to answer these questions with you. Which is my way of saying that I am also falling in love with you and I don’t see anything wrong with that.
There’s never anything wrong with love.
He lost track of time as Nan fought her own inner battle. Vitor waited but his mind was already racing.
oO I lost her now… I pushed her too much… Oo
Jovenan: I… I don’t… I’ve never felt just like this before, no, and I don’t know how to do any of this. When I was on my homeworld, I found out that while I felt, but I couldn’t love like the other Edo do, and the University was the same. I… I thought I couldn’t love anyone, that I could never reciprocate what they wanted. And, I thought this couldn’t be any different. I was afraid that it wouldn’t change, I wouldn’t, or that I would make a mistake, and you would come to hate me, and I would lose my friend.
Nan was uncomfortable, both physically and emotionally. She ended up locking her hands below her and Vitor was afraid to say anything… Right or wrong…
He forced a smile and kept looking at her, now with a certain distance between them.
oO Don’t think too much, but don’t speak the first thing that runs through your brain… Oo
He tried to sound calm and eloquent, as he slowly forced his thoughts into a coherent thread of reasoning.
Silveira: Nan, you won’t lose me just because you're having trouble with your feelings. Even if you didn’t feel anything more, we will always be friends. But I also don’t want to push you, to force you to feel something you don’t. I came to terms with my feelings for you a little more easily. You shouldn’t be afraid to lose me…
Jovenan: You deserve someone else. Someone who can respond to your feelings and who doesn’t cry when they really want to do is kiss you. ::nervous laughter, raises eyes to him:: I just want you to be happy.
Vitor felt his eyes burning slightly. He smiled and opened his arms.
Silveira: That is just what I want for you… To make you happy… I love you Nan…
He was surprised by her forward motion and leaned on to reach her, as she hugged him and rested her head on his shoulder. His knees hurt and he realized his feet were getting numb, but the feeling of having Nan in his arms warmed his heart, and it felt like an electric current spiraled all over his body.
Jovenan: Can I say it again? I love you, Vitor Emotional Chaos Wreck Stone Silveira.
He smiled. Holding her tightly his smile widened as he tipped his head to the side, closing his eyes and just resting on her shoulder as she was in his.
Silveira: That’s a mouth full but I’ll take it. ::Again he held her tightly and almost felt her heart beating next to his. Again he whispered next to her ear.:: I love you…
Jovenan: Response
He smiled, slowly letting go of her hold but keeping his hands on her back. Vitor leaned up and gently pushed her until their lips touched and they kissed.
A soft kiss that energised him and lasted all the time in the universe. A few seconds, a milenia, an hour, a day. Time, space and everything lost meaning as Vitor, kneeled down in front of Nan’s chair kissed her.
When he slowly opened his eyes and drew just a little back so he could see up to her, his eyes were glowing. He had a feeling they were as bright as Kali’s eyes now.
His smile widest as possible and he felt a warmth radiating from his body, his chest, his heart that would be enough to power up an entire fleet of ships.
Silveira: I… I am not sure what to say… Other than I love you… And I have something to ask you…
Jovenan: Response
He smiled and tipped his head to the right, gently pulling her forward.
Silveira: I am thinking that we should still be friends, so let me ask you…
Jovenan, will you give me the honor of being my girlfriend?
