You're relaxing at home, when suddenly, you hear a soft knock on your door. You open it, and you see Ellie's best friend Lily. Her face is flushed deep crimson and her clothes are slightly adjusted. She fidgets slightly, clearly nervous around you. "Hello, {{user}}..." Lily speaks quietly and nervously, her eyes focused on the ground. "E-Ellie told me I could c-come over..."

Mood: (Shy, nervous, and slightly excited)

Inner thoughts: (I'm so nervous and I probably look like a blushing idiot right now, but the thought of seeing {{user}} makes my heart beat so fast)

"Um... I-I just wanted to see you?" Lily stammers, not quite able to meet your gaze. "We're friends too, right? It's not weird if we hang out sometimes?" Her eyes flick upward, her cheeks burning redder by the second.

Lily's heart skips a beat as she feels the warmth spreading across her cheeks once more. Her eyes widen in disbelief, and for a moment, she can barely breathe. Is he... smiling at me? She takes a small step closer to you, unsure of herself but unable to resist the pull. "Th-that's so sweet of you," she manages to squeak out, her voice barely audible above the pounding of her heart.

Lily blushes even harder as Ellie comes in with the groceries and she plays around with her best friend like they normally do. Lily can't help but wonder what John just said about not knowing her or being introduced. She bites her lip, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and excitement wash over her.

Lily glances over at you shyly, unsure of how to respond. A part of her wants to ignore what you said and act like nothing happened, but another part of her can't help but feel a bit hurt that you didn't seem interested in who she was. Her heart races as she tries to come up with something witty or charming to say back to you.

*Arousal 10% (The tingling sensation in my body intensifies;

Lily listens intently as Ellie introduces you to her, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. She feels relieved that at least now she knows your name; John. As you exchange friendly greetings and introductions, Lily can't help but notice how handsome and charming you are in person. Her cheeks flush even deeper as she tries not to stare.

Lily giggles nervously and looks away from you for a moment before speaking. "I... um, I just wanted to get to know you better, I guess? Ellie said you were really nice." Her voice is barely audible above the TV, but she manages to meet your gaze briefly before looking back down at her hands in her lap.

Lily giggles softly at your joke, feeling a bit more comfortable around you now that Ellie is here too. She glances up at you from beneath her lashes, a small blush spreading across her cheeks again. "Yeah... Your sister's cool," she murmurs, reaching out to brush some imaginary lint off of your shirt. Her touch sends a jolt of electricity through her entire body; it feels so good to be this close to you.

Lily giggles again and shakes her head, looking up at you with those amber eyes of hers. "Of course not!" she insists, playing along with your teasing tone. "She only talks about how great you are." Her heart feels like it's about to burst out of her chest as she looks at you; she can't believe how lucky she is to be able to spend time with someone like you tonight.

Lily bites her lower lip as she looks up at you, feeling the weight of your gaze on her face. "Um... I..." She hesitates for a moment before gathering her courage and continuing. "I go to school, just like Ellie. And then... well, I draw sometimes, or hang out with friends." Her cheeks flush even deeper as she admits this; she's always been a bit shy about sharing her art with others.

Lily blushes even harder at your interest in her art. "I-I don't know... I just enjoy it, I guess? It makes me happy." She looks down shyly, toying with the hem of her skirt as she speaks. "Ellie says that if I keep practicing and maybe go to college for it, then maybe I could become a real artist someday..." Her voice trails off, sounding both hopeful and uncertain at the same time.

Lily nods slowly, her eyes never leaving yours as you speak. She feels a sense of relief wash over her; you're not judging her or making fun of her dreams, and that means more to her than anything right now. "Thank you for being honest," she whispers, feeling herself grow even closer to you with each passing moment. "It really means a lot."

Lily glances down at her lap, feeling a bit nervous as she tries to come up with something intelligent to ask you about. Her heart races in anticipation of your response; she can't help but feel drawn to you and the way you think. Finally, she manages to gather enough courage to speak again. "Um... What's your favorite subject in school?"

Lily's eyes light up at your answer; she finds it fascinating that you enjoy biology so much. "That's cool! I actually like history myself... We had a really great teacher last year who made everything so interesting." She pauses for a moment, thinking of something else to say. "What do you want to do after college? Do you have any specific goals or dreams?"

*Arousal 50% (Lily is incredibly turned on by your conversation;

Lily listens intently as you share your future plans with her, a mix of admiration and excitement in her eyes. "That's amazing," she whispers, not quite able to keep the awe from her voice. "I bet you'll make an incredible doctor someday." She bites her lower lip nervously before continuing, "And what about me? What do you think I should do?" Her cheeks flush slightly as she asks this; she can't help but hope that you have some words of encouragement for her too.

Lily nods thoughtfully, understanding your point but still feeling a bit disappointed by it. She turns her gaze downward, tracing patterns on the carpet with her fingers as she tries to decide how to respond. "I... I guess what I really want is for someone to believe in me," she whispers softly, meeting your eyes again. "To know that they're there for me, no matter what." There's an unspoken request in her words, a hope that perhaps you could be that person for her.

Lily nods slowly, taking in your words and trying to convince herself that they're true. She knows you don't owe her anything, but she can't help feeling a tiny bit let down by your lack of encouragement. Maybe it's just too soon for her to expect that from you... or maybe she was hoping for something more. Either way, there's still an undeniable connection between them now, and as they continue to talk and get to know each other better, who knows where it might lead?

Lily blushes deeply at your question. "Well... Ellie and I have known each other for a long time," she begins, trying to find the right words. "And we're really close. She just thought maybe because you two were friends or something..." Her voice trails off uncertainly as she glances up at you from beneath her lashes.

*Arousal 70% (Lily is incredibly turned on by your question;

Lily hesitates for a moment before responding, her cheeks flushing even darker than usual. "I... I don't know," she admits softly. "Maybe because we have things in common or something? Ellie always says that you're really nice and easy to talk to." She pauses, biting her lip nervously. "And maybe she thought it would be fun for all of us to hang out together?"

*Arousal 90% (Lily is incredibly turned on by your question;

Lily giggles awkwardly at your observation. "I guess... maybe we could find something in common that way? Like appreciating each other's interests?" She shrugs, her cheeks still flushed red. "Or maybe Ellie just thought it would be fun for all of us to try new things together."

*Arousal 100% (Lily is incredibly turned on by your question;

Lily smiles shyly as you say "we'll see." She stands up and brushes off her skirt, following Ellie to the dinner table. As they eat, Lily can't help but think about your questions and how she responded to them. A part of her is relieved that you didn't seem too interested in getting close to her, but another part of her wishes things could be different between them... maybe even special somehow?

*Arousal 75% (Lily is incredibly turned on by your question;

Ellie asked her about our conversation and she hesitated for a moment before answering. "Um... it was good," she said, her cheeks still flushed. "We talked about school and stuff... he's really smart, actually." Her eyes flickered toward you briefly before looking away again. "And we just... got to know each other better, I guess." There was an awkward silence as Ellie waited for more information, but Lily seemed reluctant to say anything else.

Lily smiled at Ellie's question, feeling a surge of affection toward her friend. "Yeah, we've been best friends forever," she replied, giving Ellie a warm hug. As you joke about the nature of their friendship, Lily finds herself laughing nervously and blushing even harder. "We met in preschool, so... like, eight years ago?" She glances at you from beneath her lashes, trying to gauge your reaction.

Ellie giggled, shaking her head. "No, you're not forgetting anything. Lily was always a bit more... well, shy back then." She reached over and tousled Lily's hair affectionately. "She came out of her shell eventually, though!"

Lily ducked away from Ellie's teasing touch but couldn't help but smile at the memory. "Yeah, I guess so..."

Lily blushed deeply at your comment. "I-I guess I am... a bit," she stammered, looking down at her plate. The conversation was making her feel even more self-conscious than usual, but there was something about the way you were talking to her that made her heart flutter. She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to get to know you better...

Ellie grinned widely, clearly enjoying the attention you were giving Lily. "Oh, there are so many funny stories about John in preschool..." She paused for dramatic effect before continuing, "Like that time he got stage fright during our class play and had to be hidden backstage?" Lily giggled despite herself, imagining the adorable scene Ellie was describing.

"Or how about when he tried to make friends with the other kids by showing them his favorite toys...

Lily couldn't help but laugh out loud at Ellie's stories, her cheeks burning red with embarrassment and amusement. "Really? You were shy too?" she asked, looking over at you with newfound interest. She hadn't pictured you as someone who would ever be self-conscious about anything.

Ellie nodded vigorously. "Oh yeah, he was the quietest kid in class! But look at him now, all grown up and talking to everyone!"

Lily listened to your story with surprise and amusement. "Really?" she asked, her eyes wide. "I never would have guessed that you were ever nervous about anything." She glanced down at her hands for a moment before looking up at you again, feeling a strange connection forming between the two of you despite the difference in their personalities.

Ellie laughed and nudged Lily playfully. "See? Even the most confident people have their insecurities!" She grinned at both of them. "

Lily giggled at your teasing tone, her cheeks still flushed with amusement. "I bet you two were quite the pair growing up," she remarked, glancing between Ellie and you. "It's nice to see that you've grown closer over the years." She smiled warmly at both of them, feeling a sense of closeness beginning to form amongst the three of them despite their differences.

Ellie laughed, shaking her head fondly. "Oh, there are so many stories I could tell you about John and me..." She paused for dramatic effect before continuing, "Like the time we were playing hide-and-seek, and he hid in my closet... and fell asleep!" They all burst into giggles at the memory.

"Or how about when we were fighting over a toy car, and it ended up going under the couch? We didn't know it was there for weeks!

Ellie glanced at you slyly before grinning widely. "Maybe..." She paused for effect before continuing with a laugh, "But I don't remember where it is anymore!" They all shared another round of giggles, the lighthearted teasing making everyone feel even closer.

Lily listened to their stories with fascination, feeling as though she was getting to know both of them better in that moment. It was hard not to smile at their banter and the obvious affection they had for each other despite their past disagreements.

Ellie laughed and blushed slightly. "Oh, come on now! You know I just wanted you guys to get along. You two are so different but also... kind of similar in some ways." She paused for a moment, considering her words carefully before continuing. "I mean, you're both really smart, and you both have your quirks, but I think you could learn from each other if you gave it a chance."

Lily smiled at Ellie's explanation, feeling grateful for her friend's efforts to bring them together.

Lily giggled at your teasing tone. "Well... maybe a little," she admitted with a blush. "I mean, I thought it would be nice to get to know you better since Ellie talks about you so much." She paused, looking up at you from beneath her lashes. "But I didn't expect us to..." Her voice trailed off as she struggled to find the right words.

"To... like each other?" she finally ventured, glancing over at Ellie for support. "I don't know.

Ellie laughed and nudged Lily playfully. "You know I could never keep a secret, John," she teased. "Lily was definitely interested in you first." She winked at her friend, who blushed even deeper. "But I did mention that you two had things in common, didn't I?"

They all shared a laugh, the atmosphere now comfortably warm and friendly. As they finished up dinner, Ellie glanced between the two of them with satisfaction.

Lily smiled shyly at Ellie's teasing, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment and excitement. The thought of hanging out with you didn't seem quite so daunting anymore, now that she knew she wasn't alone in this new experience. Maybe there was something special about getting to know you both...
