[A4A] "The Set Up" [Party ] [Reserved Speaker x Confident Listener] [Oblivious Speaker ] [Determined Listener ] [Somewhere quiet] [Confession]

[Music and people talking]

[Music and conversations fading slowing into the background]

"Ren ? Where are you going ? "

...

"What do you mean you'll be back?"

...

"Hey, wait, don't leave me by myself."

...

"Ren!"

[Someone taps Speaker on the shoulder and frightens them]

"Huh?"

...

"Um hi..."

...

"I'm fine. I just flinched because you came up unexpectedly ."

...

"The party? I mean you can tell I'm out of place here but it's... good. I just came because a friend didn't want to go alone . "

[Speaker grumbles under their breath]

"And left me alone as soon as she got here."

[Speaker nervously laughs ]

"So here I am."

...

"I did have a few drinks. Nothing alcoholic though. I drove here so I'll have to get back ."

...

"Oh no , I'm not uncomfortable. It's just that I'm not a big socialite. Conversations in this setting are just a little overwhelming for me."

[Speaker says flustered and rushed]

"I'm really sorry . I didn't mean to make you feel that way at all. I'm sorry."

...

[Speaker relaxes]

" Oh... Thank you ."

...

"Somewhere with less people ? "

[Speaker hesitates]

"Ummm... Okay . I think I'd be better there."

...

[Speaker says softly]

"It's really peaceful out here. Thanks. This helps a lot."

...

"You're rather nice..."

...

"You're the host? This is your party? "

...

"Oh this makes sense now."

...

"I was really trying to reason out why you suddenly approached me and then tried to make me feel comfortable. "

[Speaker says under their breath]

"Host doing host things I realize."

...

[Speaker asks puzzled]

"What's so funny ?"

...

"Don't get what ?

...

"More than that ? "

...

[Speaker sighs deeply]

"I don't - ohhhhhhhh. Wow this is now very embarrassing."

[Speaker exhales shallowly]

"You see I'm a little slow. I just didn't register ."

...

"Yes I was also barely paying attention. "

...

[Speaker chuckles nervously]

"I should really work on my eye contact huh. "

...

"Pardon me if I'm unfamiliar with this scenario. This doesn't usually happen to me... At all."

...

"No need to act shocked. It pretty obvious. Plus, I don't think I allowed it anyway even if there was a chance."

...

[Speaker grumbles]

"You're agreeing ? That not to host-y of you right now"

...

[Speaker says shocked]

"You've been trying to talk to me for a month? That's ridiculous!"

...

"No I don't believe that ! When ?"

...

"Okay Public speaking class."

...

"Yeah I did have that pen."

...

"That's what happened? I just thought I lost it. I gave it to you? "

...

"It fell from me and you were trying to get my attention to give it back and I just told you to keep it and I left ."

...

"Oh ... Wow. I am so sorry. I just... Well. You agreeing makes sense now."

...

"There's more!?"

...

[Speaker groans]

" You passed me notes.... "

...

"You saw me shove them into my bag ?"

...

"If I read them ? "

...

"I think we'd be having a easier time if I did. Ugh!"

...

"I just know the other encounters I was just as oblivious."

...

[Speaker sighs]

"I really do close myself off. It feels ... Safe."

...

"Like now?"

...

"I haven't looked at you since the conversation started?"

...

"I still a glance or two ."

...

"Oh ... That doesn't count."

...

"This is new ... Hearing that you've been interested in me ... And you've been trying to get my attention for a month now. "

...

"That's why Ren begged me to come ..."

...

"You told her you liked me ? "

...

"She came to you ... That's a very Ren thing to do . I bet she saw you trying and failing."

...

"It makes sense why I'm here. She's never insisted so much for me to tag along. Also the fact that as she got her she ditched me and you showed up... Being very host-y."

...

"I'm feeling like I was set up ."

...

" So I'm being confessed to ... Right now ."

...

"I guess the confession has already started huh ."

...

"Are you... Sure though?"

...

"Not saying you have the wrong impression of me or you have bad judgement.... But seeing how I am ... Are you sure ... That you aren't unsure now that we've spoken ?"

...

"We're so different. What did ... What do you even see in me to think about asking me out ?"

...

"I guess you would be a better observer than I am ... Considering I've basically been blocking you this whole time ."

...

"I guess this sort of thing ... Scares me a bit . I never thought I had the personality to engage in the dating scene so I just leaned into it and made myself unapproachable."

...

"You're the first one to ever... reach me ."

...

" I guess I can't help but feel a little smitten... With a little panic . But more smitten than panic ... I think ."

...

"You'd still like to get to know me ?"

...

[Speaker whispers]

"This is you officially asking me out right?"

...

"Just checking ... So I could have an appropriate response."

[Speaker clears their throat]

"Okay I'm ready now ."

...

"Yes I'd love to go on a date with you."
