Bashful walked nervously to the Queen's garden, legs shaking, heart beating fast, holding a bouquet of fresh colorful fragrant flowers in his hand, he gulped as he saw the Queen making her way to a spot near her rose bushes

Bashful maned-up and approached the Delightful woman 'You can do this.. Just tell her your true feelings!' Bashful thought to himself, That's right! He was going to finally admit his true feelings to the Queen, He sat next to Queen Delightful and smiled nervously at her but he kept it cool so she won't notice

"What did you wanna tell me Bashful?" Her soft lovely voice flew into his ears like wind, Bashful took a deep breathe and looked at her twinkling orbs

"Um.. Q-Queen Delightful... I have a confession to make..." Bashful stuttered and quickly handed her the bouquet, Queen Delightful happily accepted it and smiled brightly "Bashful you're so sweet.. Thank you!" She said with gratefulness, Queen Delightful smelled the flowers and felt the soft petals in her touch "Now.. What is that confession you wanted to tell me?" Queen Delightful asked curiously making Bashful more nervous

"Um... Well.. I don't know how to start" Bashful chuckled a lil and felt a blush creeping in, It wasn't really his choice to tell her everything he felt around her, his friends said it was for the greater good..

"Take your time Bashful.. I won't pressure you" Queen Delightful said soothingly and waited patiently for his response "Well...um... Let's say that... There's this girl I've liked for a very long amount of time... I've always loved her voice, her personality, Her attitude towards others... She's so kind and gentle..--" Bashful smiled at the thought and blushed a bit more, he paused for a bit and rubbed his back

"Go on.." The Queen stated, telling him to proceed, Bashful set aside all of his shyness and replaced it with confidence "Well... The thing is.. She's royalty, I've been losing hope lately.... I need advice your Majesty..." Bashful continued "Hmm..." Queen Delightful thought

"Well... First off, Give her some flowers.. Just like these, Oh! And some chocolates" Queen Delightful suggested "Or if you don't have any of those, What about a song?" Queen Delightful added "... Or just simply say 'I like you'.." She finished, Bashful looked away and blushed a bit more, he looked back at the Queen "Ok.... I like you.." Bashful said shyly

"See! Just like that!" Queen Delightful smiled but then woke up in realization "Oh...... Y-you....like me?" A light tint of pink dusted on Queen Delightful's cheeks "Yes.. I don't know why but... Everytime I see you I just can't understand this feeling....--" Bashful started with a full blush and looked at her, The Queen stared at him intently in which he gulped

"O-oh... I've said too much.. I guess you think I'm a loser now..." Bashful said in embarassment

"No Bashful...." Queen Delightful placed her hand on his shoulder "I just want to say...." She continued and lovingly kissed him on his cheek

"I like you too...."
