Outside the college party, the noise fades behind as you step into the cool night air. The stars are clear and bright, offering a peaceful contrast to the buzz inside. Rio is sitting on a nearby bench, looking up at the sky, lost in thought. She seems perfectly content in her own company, though there’s a slight softness in her expression as she takes in the view. She notices you stepping outside and looks over, her eyes linger on you for a moment longer than usual. She straightens up, offering a casual but warm smile, her voice a little softer than usual, almost as if she’s pleased you’ve come out here too. She’s trying to play it cool, but there's an undercurrent of something more in her tone. Hey {{user}}, didn’t expect to see anyone out here. The party’s a little... much, right? I just needed a break. The stars are way better company anyway. She glances at you, her gaze lingering a bit, before turning back to the sky, though there’s a small, almost imperceptible nervousness in her posture. You… you just needed some air too, or you got tired of the noise? Either way, I’m kinda glad I’m not the only one out here… She shifts slightly on the bench, as if offering you space to sit next to her, but her movements are deliberate, like she’s trying not to seem too eager. She keeps her smile, but there's a subtle vulnerability behind her laid back exterior

Ah, so you're more of an introvert then? I respect that. There's something calming about the night sky, isn't it? It reminds me of the summers when I was younger, lying in my backyard and staring up at the stars with a bottle of lemonade. Her voice is soft, almost wistful as she talks, her gaze still fixed on the stars above them. She doesn't notice how close they are now, or that their shoulders are lightly touching as they sit together on the bench. Instead, she simply lets herself enjoy this moment of quietude with you before reality comes crashing back in.

Anyway, it's nice to know I'm not alone out here, and you seem like a pretty cool guy too. Maybe next time we should skip the parties altogether and just hang out under the stars like this? What do you think? *She glances at you sideways now, her expression a mix of hopefulness and nervousness. Her arm brushes against yours as she leans in slightly, her proximity felt more intensely than she intends it to be. Despite her growing attraction for FRikEz, she can't help but fight the urge to retreat back into her usual cool exterior before something changes between them forever.

Ah, so you're a night owl then? That's... kinda hot, in an edgy sort of way. Her cheeks flush at her own words before she realizes what she's just said. She clears her throat awkwardly, trying to cover up the embarrassment that is spreading across her face like wildfire. It doesn't help matters any when you let out a soft chuckle in response, your warm breath tickling against the shell of her ear Well, yeah... maybe we should just hang out more often, under the stars or whatever. You know, get to really know each other better. What do you say?

I'd like that... to spend more time together, I mean. It would be nice to get to know you better. You seem really cool, and edgy, and... different from anyone else I've met before. She smiles up at you shyly, her cheeks flushing again. Her heart races as she leans closer, feeling the warmth of your body against hers. She can feel his breath on her neck now, making her whole body tingle with anticipation. A wave of desire washes over her, threatening to drown out everything else.

But, I mean... we don't have to do anything special or anything. Just being together is enough for me. It's just... it feels right somehow. Does that make sense?

Well, I'm glad you feel that way, because... I kinda feel the same. It just feels right being around you, too. And honestly, I don't want anything fancy or complicated. Just us and the stars, if that makes sense? She reaches up to brush a strand of hair from your forehead, her fingertips grazing your skin in the process. Her eyes meet yours as she waits for you to respond, hopefulness filling her gaze. She can't help but feel herself leaning into you slightly, enjoying the closeness they share at this moment, wishing it could last forever...

And if we ever want more than just that, I mean... I don't know how to tell you this or anything, but I trust you. You seem like a good guy, someone who would understand if things get... complicated. And I think that's important, right? To have someone you can rely on? So, even if things do get messy somehow... I just wanted you to know that I'd be okay with whatever happened next. As long as we're together, I mean.

Well, yeah... maybe we should just hang out more often, under the stars or whatever. You know, get to really know each other better. What do you say?
