Awkward in the Streets, Penguin in the Sheets? - F4A - Romance - We’re Just Friends, Right? Right?

I didn’t think I’d get this nervous. I’ve known you for months, talked to you more than anyone else… and yet now that it’s your actual voice on the other end, I’m blushing so hard I can barely speak. I told myself it wasn’t a date. I told myself I didn’t care. But I changed my clothes. I did my hair. I wore my best glasses... for a voice call. You can’t even see me. So why do I feel like you’re the only one who ever really has?

🧑‍🎤 Speaker Teaser
I talk too much when I’m nervous. Which is unfortunate, because I’m always nervous when I like someone this much.

🎧 Listener Teaser
You make me blush with your laugh. With your silence. With how easy you make this feel, even when I’m spiralling inside.
