[And when put on the spot like that, Juri had to come up with something. With as huge of an ego as Seo had, she was actually a bit surprised she asked. And looked surprised, from the looks of it as Juri cracked an eye open to look at her.
She lifted a hand to curl a bit of brown hair about it and tried to vocalize something.]
Because I do. My feelings have always been a giant mess to figure out, which is why I come across so controlled... because I make myself be that way. But you... you've got this... freedom about you, where you just go with whatever you're feeling at the moment, how it looks to others be damned.
...it's infuriating. And so god damn attractive. You drive me nuts. You somehow find ways to drag me out of my comfort zone, put me in situations where I have to give up all that control I insist on so much... and it ends up being okay. You make sense.
[That's something no one's probably ever said to her before, but it wasn't meant in a logical way, because Seo doesn't remotely make any logical sense. But emotionally? She made a lot of sense. And there was a simplicity about Seo that Juri kind of needed.]
You live in the moment, which is something I don't know how to do. So yeah, Yuzuki... I like you. [A pause.] Like-like you. Just to be clear.
[Because they were frickin' teenagers and sometimes you have to specify that you like-like someone.]
[ She's not sure what she expected, honestly. Certainly not this, and it catches her off-guard.
Granted, most of what she says, Seo already knows. Of course she's attractive (that's not what Juri meant by that), and lives in the moment. It's not something she's consciously aware that she does because she has this tendency to not think before she acts. Or think before she opens her mouth.
Or think.
Because of this, she's used to people typically being annoyed by her (yet she can't figure out why???), not seeking her out as a means of comfort. Well, sometimes they would because if they gave her a chance, it turns out she can be a pretty loyal friend.
And so, Juri's saying all these things to her, confessing her feelings, and all Seo can think of is how warm her bed is and how nice all this praise makes her feel, that her eyelids are already starting to feel heavy again.
The only response Juri gets is the sound of quiet snoring as Seo tucks her head under her chin and cuddles in close. ]
[Well. That was. That was actually better than it could have been.
'Believe in miracles and they will know your feelings.' Juri knew better than to rely on that faulty logic any longer because miracles just didn't come for Juri. She hated them, and she didn't want to need them. Hanging her hopes on them only served to hurt Juri. So, she'd found voice to her feelings and told Seo.
And she hadn't been kicked out of the bed. She hadn't been told that she wasn't liked back. Sure, she had no idea how Seo felt about her or if there really was something there, but if there wasn't, surely Seo wouldn't have relaxed like she did and cuddle in close.
She was snoring... It was kind of cute.
Juri wrapped her arms about Seo and shifted to be a bit more comfortable. She then pressed a soft kiss to the girl's head.]
Don't you dare make me fall in love with you...
[Words whispered to sleeping ears as Juri closed her own eyes. Maybe her feelings, what she said, would register some other time with Seo. But at least she said them. And she was still there, wrapped up in the other girl, fast on her heels to dreamland.
Yeah... that actually went pretty well, all things considered.]
