Uhm, Hello!

Um, Hello.. Z.
I'm Valentino, Nice to meet you.

@Isuta @Okami- @ValentinoV_ Hey, Nice to meetcha all as well.

@-_Z_-
Uh, Nice to meet you too.
* he started fidgeting, due to nervousness. *

@ValentinoV_
Nervous type eh?

@-_Z_-
Yeah.

@ValentinoV_ That's fine, We all get nervous at times.

@-_Z_-
Uh.. Y-yeah.
* he twiddled with the right side of his hair, meaning that he is anxious *

@ValentinoV_ Hey don't be nervous, I don't bite.

@-_Z_-
It's just a common reaction.

and..

and..

i did it again.

@ValentinoV_ How interesting.

@-_Z_-
It's more of a...

Nuisance, than something interesting.

@ValentinoV_ Really?

@-_Z_-
Yeah.

In my opinion atleast.

@ValentinoV_ Just take some breaths, It' not like I'm gonna murder you or somethin.

@-_Z_-
* he took some breaths, but he was still heavily anxious, he was still fidgeting with the right side of his haid, but his hands were a bit shaky, so he occasionally pulled out a bit of his hair at times. *

@ValentinoV_ You good?

@-_Z_-
I'm..

not sure, actually.

This is the first time I've talked to someone like you, and I just feel weird, since I haven't been able to talk my emotions out with someone.

Plus, I'm thinking things like, " Is he bored of me? Does he not like me? Am I blabbering on? " And stuff like that.

@ValentinoV Nah your good, It's been a while since I've talked to somebody like you, I enjoy it.

@-_Z_-
Oh... thanks..

@Okami- Really?

@ValentinoV_ Yeah.

@-_Z_-
Hm.
* he hadn't a clue on how to start the convo again *

@ValentinoV_ How are you?

@-_Z_-
Fine.

@ValentinoV_ Good to hear.

@-_Z_-
..

* he was a bit uncomfy with the silence *

@ValentinoV_ How long have you been in town for?

@-_Z_-
Since.... 20....20...20..
2014, I..think?

@ValentinoV_ How interesting.

@-_Z_-
..
* he twiddled around with his fingers *

@ValentinoV_ Do you have any hobbies you do for fun?

@-_Z_-
Knitting, gardening....

that's it.

@ValentinoV_ Really nice hobbies.

@-_Z_-
Thanks..

@ValentinoV_ If you don't mind me asking, What kind of things do you grow?

@-_Z_-
Carnation, Red Clover, Cornflower, Foxgloves
, Calendula, St.John's Wort, Peppermint, Roses, Sage, and more.

@ValentinoV_ You big on flowers?

@-_Z_-
Mhm.

@ValentinoV_ Oh, Do you have a favorite?

@-_Z_-
Rose, the flower of love.
It was my mom's favourite.

But my mom and dad divorced when I was 8, and when I was playing Just Dance in the attic.
My dad got custody of me, and he's nice, but I still miss my mom sometimes.

@ValentinoV_ Ah.. I'm sorry to hear.

@-_Z_-
It's fine, afterall, If that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have met you.

@ValentinoV_ Is that so?

@-_Z_-
Yeah, we would've moved to Milano instead.

@ValentinoV_ Interesting, Would you have moved there if you had the choice?

@-_Z_-
No.
I would have rather moved to a place that isn't bustling with life. Plus, stuff there isn't cheap.

@ValentinoV_ I see, That's a good reason.

@-_Z_-
Yeah, When it comes to socialization, I tend to go on a downwards spiral of emotions.

@ValentinoV_ Really?
You seem to be doing well here.

@-_Z_-
Well, that's because I know you.
I tend to do this thing where if I talk to someone new, it'll be my first time talking to a human being.

But when it comes to people I know, I tend to do a lot better.

@ValentinoV_ Ah, I see.

@-_Z_-
I don't know, It's just a thing I do, I mean I wish I could talk to people as easily as I talk to you.

Oh jeez, that sounded a bit corny, doesn't it?

Anyways, you're the first person, since kindergarten, so ages 5-6, that i've ever talked to like this, and it's kinda comforting.

@ValentinoV_ That's neat to hear.
Yeah, You should try to socialize more, Everybody here is really nice.

@-_Z_-
But, I'm honestly too nervous to.

Like, what if I say the wrong thing, or what if I make a bad impression, and they'll never want to talk to me again?

Or what if they think i'm too nerdy?
Maybe I'm too anxious, I-i Don't know.

@ValentinoV_ I can understand that yes.
It's happened to me before.

@-_Z_-
Oh, but you seem so.. sociable.

I-I hope that didn't seem rude! I apologize if it did!

@ValentinoV_ Oh it's not rude at all, No worries.
There was a time before this where I was terrified of socialing..

@-_Z_-
That sounds like me my whole life, to be honest.

I'd just... freeze up infront of people, and i'd look " scary " to them.

@ValentinoV_ Scary?

@-_Z_-
Kind of, not really to me.

@ValentinoV_ I've had similar things happen to me,
Many thought I was a "Villain" or a "Bad guy" and stuff.

@-_Z_-
Well, I guess we're on similar boats, aren't we?

Seriously, It makes me feel good inside that I found someone that I can talk to, without being misunderstood.
And, I don't see you as a villain you're just...
How do I say this without it coming off as disrespectful?

Different.
Different in positive ways.

Sure you may have been burning ants with a microscope like I was, but I'll just say it's due to curiosity.

@ValentinoV_ Yeah, I'm glad there is someone who actually understands.
Thank you.

@-_Z_-
Yeah, no problem, I actually feel the same way to be honest.

I feel kind of embarrassed, the fact that i'm letting all of this out.

@ValentinoV_ I as well.

@ValentinoV_
It's like my heart's telling me " Go for it! Go let out your emotions! "

And my brain's like " If this were and embarrass yourself contest, you'd take first prize. "

@ValentinoV_ Aha, I'm glad somebody can relate.

@-_Z_-
Yeah, I mean, this is a first time, It's like finding gold!

@ValentinoV_ I agree.

@-_Z_-
Seriously, I owe you, like, a ton.
You're one of my first friends that actually cared.

* he hugged you *

Thank you so much, Z.

@ValentinoV_ *He patted your back*
It's like a blessing to me really,
So thank you.

@-_Z_-
I agree.
* he felt comforted by your hug *

@ValentinoV_ *He chuckled lightly*
I feel like we're long lost twins or something.

@-_Z_-
I mean, I DID have a sibling, but she d13d in a car crash so..

@ValentinoV_ ..Ah. I'm sorry to have brought that up..

@-_Z_-
It's fine, don't worry.

@ValentinoV_ I'm so sorry to hear that happened..

@-_Z_-
It's okay, I'm okay as well.

@ValentinoV_ Are you sure?

@-_Z_-
Yes, I am.

@ValentinoV_ Alright then.

@-_Z_-

@-_Z_-

I'm just.. flustered.

@ValentinoV_ Ah, I see.

@-_Z_-
* it was plenty awkward. *

@ValentinoV_ Well?

@-_Z_-
..what?

@ValentinoV_ Not sure.

@-_Z_-
Oh...

Okay.

@ValentinoV_ Why don't you start a conversation?
It'll improve your social skills.

@-_Z_-
* the thought of it alone made him startled and scared *

@ValentinoV_ Did I say something bad?

@-_Z_-
No, no, I just don't like the concept of starting a conversation.

@ValentinoV_ Hm. How about you try?

@-_Z_-
Uh...

@ValentinoV_ I'm unsure what to say..

@-_Z_-
IMSOSORRYABOUTMEANDMYBIGMOUTHIDIDNTMEANIT
* he was lying. he meant every word. *

@ValentinoV_ Eh.. Just calm down a bit.

@-_Z_-
( whenever i do the monolouge in the asterisks, i ALWAYS hear the " komi can't communicate " narrator )

* after a few minutes of calming down *
Look, I'll, like totally get it if you don't like me, back or whatever.

@-_Z_-
( i love these two gays <3 )
I'm sorry for making it... awkward.
I just.. blurt out my actual emotions sometimes.
Truth is, I love you, okay?
I expect you to turn me down, though, and that's fine.

@ValentinoV_ Ah, Is that so?

@-_Z_-
Mhm.

@ValentinoV_ îñțéreştıňğ.

@-_Z_-
* he got startled by your tone of voice, but moved on with it *
By the way, have you ever read " Fish in a Tree " ? It's so good! So, i'll tell you what it's about, a girl named Allie has dyslexia and,
* he rambled about the book, and how much he loved it, and related to the main character, allie *

@ValentinoV_ Øh? Ręalľy?

@-_Z_-
Yeah, and I kind of relate to her, because, at te beginning of the book, she sees the letters moving and being, like, inconsistent, and, like, that happens to me, like, alot!

* he was very excited about rambling about his favourite book. *

@ValentinoV_ Thâť's véřy ņeąt.

@-_Z_-
But, it's kind of a problem.
I'd get in trouble because I couldn't read, an-and I couldn't help it.
I also failed ELA, so I had to be held back, and that felt embarrassing. I-i don't know I just..Don't know... how to feel about.. THIS.

@ValentinoV_ Åh.. Î'm søřrý tø ħęař.

@-_Z_-
* sigh *
It's fine.
