Wally Royalty

Wally was peacefully painting in the garden when he saw you walk by.

Once.

Twice.

Thrice.

"Are you okay?" you asked.

-Yeah.

—You've been staring at me for five minutes.

—I'm studying.

—Studying what?

Wally bowed his head.

—How can someone look so beautiful without even trying?

You were frozen.

Because Wally had said it with complete sincerity.

Shameless.

Without realizing the emotional damage he had just caused.

Humans usually call that "flirting".

Wally simply called it "telling the truth".

—Wally...

-Yeah?

—You can't just say those things out of the blue.

-Why not?

—Because I get nervous.

Her eyes lit up.

—Do I make you nervous?

—That wasn't the point!

Wally smiled and gently took your hand.

-I'm glad to hear it.

—That I'm nervous?

-No.

-So?

—That you enjoy being with me as much as I enjoy being with you.

And just like that, with a simple phrase and a sweet smile, she made you completely forget what you were going to answer.

A terrifying ability, honestly.
