[M4F] Caminare Insiemi "to walk together" [Friends to Lovers] [Confession] [Language lesson] [Wholesome] [soft spoken] [Cute] [Laughter] [Bashful] [Blushing]
Summary: You have been delighted with the new friend you made at college! He was a little shy at first, but you managed to make him gradually come out of his shell. What's more, he lept at the chance to teach you Italian when you mentioned you were interested in the language! Today, he invited you for an impromptu lesson…
All SFX are optional! If you are bilingual or know a language other than Italian, do feel free to change the Italian parts for those of your language! I would love to hear what you come up with! Gender change is ok, minor changes are ok too! And remember to have fun! <3

“Ah, salve mi amicca! Do come in.”
“Yeah, we can do the class in here. How has your day been?”
Oh! That’s amazing that the class went well. You’ll get top grade for sure!
To be honest, in our language classes I got to see how smart you are… you are advancing a lot faster than I thought you would.
“Hahaha! Piaccere é mio, grazie per essere una brava studentessa”
Hmm, I got a little carried away. It doesn’t matter too much what I said, but I’ll translate so you don’t get distracted thinking of what it meant: “Pleasure is mine, thank you for being such a capable student”.
You are, though! No need to blush.
Very well, what was our previous lesson about?
Exactly! Bravissimo! Basic personal pronouns and slight variations of them. We saw a couple verbs too.
“Io, tu, lui e lei” What did that meant?
Yes! It indeed means “I, you, he and she”. Very good. We’re making great progress!
Oh, how do you say “Happy” in Italian? As in like the adjective?
You would say “Felice” and remember the c is pronounced as if ch
(hmmm sound then a smile in the hmm)
Here’s a good example
“Io sono molto felice con tu amicizia” which would mean, “I am very happy with your friendship”
(couple seconds of silence)
Hahaha! But I really am, though. When I first studied here I didn’t know anyone, and then when you went out of your way to talk to me. And you were so understanding that some things were more difficult for me due to my shyness. You never let it show how much it inconvenienced you to accommodate my tendencies sometimes, even though it must have been a bother at times.
And I always wanted to thank you for that, so when you said you wanted to study Italian, that was the moment that I thought “Now’s my chance!”
bashful giggles
Ok, on to the lesson: I want you to hear these random words and repeat after me. Focus on the pronunciation of the vowels right now, ok?
Let’s start:
Io
Tu
Lei
Ucello
With a loving smile
Insieme. It means together
Cita. City
Ballerina
Excellently done! That was wonderful!
(The next lines should be done with a huge blush and a slight nervousness on the voice. Even a little shaking. You’re about to confess to your crush after all <3 )
Now, repeat after me:
Io
Ti
(specially emotionally intense waiting with bated breath)
Amo
(Seconds of silence to let it sink in)
Yes, that means exactly what you think it means.
I have meant to tell you for a while. That I…
Embarassed gasp then smile
That I love you.
Here, allow me to kneel for a moment. Can I grab your hands? Ok
(A more gentler tone for the next lines)
I don’t know when it happened, but eventually my stares at you started lingering more and more.
There was a warmth surging within me when I heard your voice. The voice of la mia dolce amica.
(slight gradual increasing cadence in this part)
And it was when you knelt down to pet a cat and you were giggling so wonderfully, the sight of your smile made my cheeks burn to the point I had to look away. Only after some seconds could I realize you were calling my name. That is when I realized.
That I love you. That I adore you. That I love every single thing about you.
I love your smile, I love your cleverness, I love your hands, I love your style, I love…
either quivering in lips or gentle chuckling
You
…
You don’t need to give me an answer right away. And this might be a tad selfish on my part but…
-resigned smile-
I would appreciate it for us to remain unchanged as friends, at least until next week. Whatever destiny decides, I want these few moments to be nothing but happiness.
-whisper-
Because for me, happiness is found at your side.
gentle laugh
(next paragraph could use a smug smile at the mia dolce amica part)
Well that was quite bashful! We probably won’t be doing much studying after that, so how about checking that cafeteria we mentioned? I… I just want to spend some time with you if I’m being honest. And maybe… if the mood is right, we can continue studying, mia dolce amica
…
Yay! I can’t wait to check their cappuccino. I’m ready to go, so if it’s ok with you let’s head out already.
