[y/n]'s POV.

You walk to your home slowly. The weather's nice and you don't have anything important to do, so you're simply not in rush. You found yourself thinking back about the moment when you texted Ben by an accident. Accident, and yet it probably changed your life. Now you knew two amazing guys. You smiled when you remembered that you were going to meet Ben in person tomorrow. You just couldn't wait to be able to talk to him for real, not only by the messages.

You got home and made sure all your homework was done. Then you sat down on your bed. It hit you that you're going to seriously meet Ben within about 20 hours. It wasn't a long time since you were planning this meeting for a week now. It was going to happen soon and you were ready. At least you thought you were. Suddenly a message came to your phone, so you picked it up.

You kinda hoped it would be Ben, but it was Scarlet. He finally let you call him that.

Hi his message was saying

Hi

Do you need anything?

I need to tell you something but I'm not sure if that's a good idea

Go on

Tell me

I feel like you'll get mad or something

I won't, I promise

Also

If you don't want to tell me, then why do you say you need to?

Fair point

So, it's gonna get awkward

I like you

I like you too

No, but like

A lot

Like

More than a friend

?

So if you could

Maybe you'd want to go out with me

????

You found yourself staring at your phone's screen. Was he really saying this? Honestly, he seemed nice for some time, but you, well, you did like him a lot, maybe even a little this way, but there already was someone else you had a crush on. And yet a hero, a guy with super powers just told you he liked you, that was just crazy.

I

That's

Look, I don't want to get this to be more awkward than it has to be

I like you a lot, but I have a crush on someone else

Oh

I figured you'd say no

But also that it wouldn't hurt to try

And if it's because I'm not a human but a synthezoid, just say so

It's okay, I'll understand

That's not the case

I just really fell for someone else.

Well, there's no way to prove it

But I'll just believe you

Well, there is one way
