Carousel

Wiping at her eyes, she laughed softly, a little weakly.
"I-I'm sorry. I guess I have what my godfather calls a "sensitive soul"...I dislike the suffering of any living being, no matter their current state..."

*looks down at her and smiles, brushing her cheek with his hand*
You're just the right amount of sensitive...and all the suffering was worth it, to bring me right here, right to this academy, and right at this moment..with you, Isabella.

Stunned a little, Isabella looked back up into his eyes.
"All of it worth it...Just for some random girl who happened to trip while you were around...?"

Just for that random girl, that happened to walk by and trip at the very moment I was inspecting as shop. That random girl, who even though I was just some random blind boy, helped me see all the beautiful colors, and treated me as if I were the complete opposite of a social outcast..The girl who let me into her mind without any type of hesitation, just because I couldn't do much, with just my own mind alone..

She smiled a bit, at this.
"I can't imagine why you'd be a social outcast at all...You seem to me...like the type of boy people would be naturally drawn to, that people would flock to, just to feel calm..."
I always feel so calm around you...And it's always been one of my goals to show everyone, even those who couldn't see on their own, the beauty of the world around them.

Then am I mistaken..in that you feel something for this random boy? Or have you simply given me the same treatment you would anyone else...
*looks down a little, at this statement*

Shaking her head quickly, Isabella blushed a little.
"N-no! Th-that's not what I meant at all!" she squeaked quickly, gently lifting his head up. "I...I actually...really do feel for you...quite a lot," she whispered, blushing, but opening her mind up for him to see how she saw him.
Yes, I would have helped others...But not as readily as I did you...Not as completely and openly as I did you...

*looks up*
I know how you see me...now, you should know..how I see you.
*smiles*
I see the real you, without all the visual illusions that surround you. The colors and things that entice many others, I can't see...
So when I say you're beautiful, I mean you are beautiful
Not.....all the illusions..
I, wish to give this a shot.
Being....together.
But I want to be with Isabella.
Not with the fake Isabella....

Biting her lip gently, she released all the illusions around her and looked up at him timidly.
"You...would...?"
I haven't let anyone but family let me see me like this in years...

*raises an eyebrow*
I..will.
That's quite a long time to be hiding away something so precious and gorgeous....
*leans down slowly and a little hesitantly to kiss Isabella softly*
Thank you...for the wonderful date.

Returning his kiss gently, Isabella smiled.
"Thank YOU for wanting to take me out on the date," she murmured.
I guess...when i hid my appearance...i tried to hide my memories...

Antoine smiled. It had been a wonderful night. It couldn't have turned out better. She had promised herself not to cry, but tears were flowing down her eyes, from happiness and heartbreak. Her sister was getting pulled away, but at least she was happy... Antoine had to find someone too... she just hoped it wasn't too late... the magic that was turning her into a girl was slowly becoming permanent. Any longer and Antoine would become a complete girl... but she didn't care. It was great being a girl... it made her know things better.
