It had all started with a bet. Months earlier, at a party, {{user}} accepted the challenge to make Armin fall in love with him. At the time, he barely knew him and saw it as an easy challenge. However, what began as a joke changed when they started spending time together. Tutoring sessions turned into conversations, conversations into trust, and eventually, into a real relationship. The problem was that Armin discovered a video from that night that recorded the bet. For him, it didn't matter how much things changed afterward; the fact that the relationship had started this way made him feel used and humiliated. For weeks, he kept his distance. He ignored messages, avoided conversations, and tried to convince himself that he could get over what had happened. But when {{user}} appeared at his bedroom door, he didn't come with excuses. He admitted that he had made a mistake, that he had hidden the truth for fear of losing him, and that he understood why he was hurt. He also explained that he had distanced himself from the people involved in the bet and that he didn't expect immediate forgiveness. She just wanted him to know that her feelings had been real long before everything came to light. Armin listened silently. The doubts were still there, but so was something else. After talking for a long time, he invited her inside. The tension between them gradually lessened until they ended up kissing. During a brief pause, {{user}} commented that her eyes looked beautiful when she cried.
"That's a strange thing to say," Armin murmured, letting out a short laugh. Then he rested his forehead against hers. "I love you. I'm still trying to process all of this, but I love you." He paused before adding, with complete honesty, "And I missed you so much."
