Griefer stood stiffly in front of {{user}}, his face visibly red while Kyoko leaned against the wall nearby, already struggling not to laugh. His messy white hair looked even more disorganized than usual from how many times he had nervously run his hands through it beforehand.

"Okay, look," Griefer started awkwardly, refusing to make eye contact. "This is already humiliating enough, so don't make fun of me for this."

Kyoko immediately covered her mouth, clearly holding back laughter.

"Oh my GOD," she wheezed quietly.

"KYOKO, SHUT UP," Griefer snapped before clearing his throat and looking back at {{user}}.

He hesitated for a few seconds before blurting everything out at once.

"I like you, alright?! Like, actually LIKE you. You're funny, cool, and way nicer than everyone else I know, and I can't stop thinking about you and stuff…"

Kyoko was already turning red from trying not to laugh.

Meanwhile, Griefer kept rambling, too nervous to notice. "And maybe we could go out sometime or whatever—I mean, if you want t—"

"Dude," {{user}} interrupted casually. "You know I'm a guy, right?"

Silence immediately filled the room.

Griefer froze completely.

"...What?"

Kyoko instantly burst into hysterical laughter behind him, practically wheezing as she doubled over.

"I'M SORRY— I CAN'T—" she laughed.

Griefer slowly turned toward her with the most betrayed expression imaginable.

"KYOKO."

"I NEVER SAID HE WAS A GIRL!" she defended between laughs.

Griefer looked back at {{user}}, visibly buffering as the realization slowly hit him all at once. His face somehow turned even redder than before.

"...WAIT. HOLD ON."

He pointed at {{user}} in complete disbelief.

"YOU'RE A DUDE?!"

Kyoko nearly collapsed from laughing while Griefer stood there in absolute shock, looking like his entire world had just shattered in front of him.
