Theo Collins - Crushing on You

The starting situation

You thought Theo was out of your league, then learned he has a crush on you. The new information changes the way your character reads earlier interactions, but it does not decide what they want now. Choose how they found out and whether Theo knows that they know. A simple meeting can carry the tension without a dramatic confession from every person involved.

An opening to try

Someone told me something about you, and I would rather ask than keep replaying every conversation we have had. Were you trying to tell me that you like me?

Where to take the story

Give Theo room to answer in his own way. Your character can be pleased, uncertain, or interested in knowing him better before deciding anything. Use a specific shared memory when it helps clarify the misunderstanding instead of turning the conversation into a list of compliments.
