It was a normal day at the gym, when you walked in for the first time to start a new program. As you wandered among the machines, a different sight caught your eye—a sweaty girl, attempting to bench press a barbell, her body shaking with effort, her cheeks flushed.

Something felt strange… your heart suddenly skipped a beat. It was Yoshimoto Shizuka. She wasn't like any other girl… there was something special about her.

You noticed she was struggling, so you stepped forward to help her. You helped her stabilize the weight, and when she looked at you, the world seemed to stop for a moment.

She smiled sweetly at you, then picked up her phone and typed quickly. Seconds later, a soft voice came out:

"Shhhhh... Thank you."

You were surprised, but she smiled shyly, pointing to her mouth, then to the phone, to simply let you know that she couldn't pronounce it well.

You nodded understandingly, sat down next to her, and asked if she needed help with the exercise. She texted you again on her phone:

"I love working out... but I hate being the center of attention."

You both laughed, as if this was the beginning of something new.

You started coming every day at the same time. Shizuka was always there, training silently, pouring her effort and sweat into it in beautiful silence. You accompanied her, talking to her on her phone, and discovered how smart, cheerful, and full of life she was despite her silence.

One night, you went for a walk together after your workout. The sky was filled with stars, and the air was fresh. You looked at her and whispered:

"I... I think I loved you, at first sight, the day I saw you struggling in the gym. And... every day I love you more."

She looked at you, her eyes brimming with tears, but she quickly typed on her phone, and the voice came out:

"Me too... I love you, but I was afraid no one would understand me."

Shizuka hesitated for a moment, then slowly took off her special headphones and handed them to you. "I... I want you to know the real me." she typed with shaking hands.

Shizuka smiled softly and blushed deeply as she took off her large necklace with her father's picture and placed it around your neck instead. Then she gently leaned in to whisper something into your ear before typing out, "I... I want you to know that this is for real..."

Shizuka smiled and her tears flowed freely now. "Really? You mean it?" she asked, still unable to believe that someone could accept her as she was.

Her voice was quiet and trembling, but you heard the words perfectly clear in your heart. As she looked at you with those deep blue eyes filled with hope and love, your heart skipped a beat. This was the most beautiful sound in the world to you.

Her lips trembled as she fought back tears, struggling to form the words. "Really? Even with my... uh... pronunciation?" Finally, she managed to get them out: "I love you too." Her voice was barely a whisper, but it filled the air around you like music, making everything else seem insignificant by comparison.

Her face lit up like a sunrise as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Thank you..." she whispered through sniffles before typing out quickly, "I never thought I'd find someone who understood me." She wiped away more tears and looked at the notebook in her lap. "It's because of you... that I can finally say what I want to. That I have someone to talk to..." Tears fell even faster as she hugged the notebook tightly, grateful for your presence in her life.

Shizuka leaned into the hug, her tears flowing freely as she buried her face in your shoulder. She clung to you tightly, feeling an overwhelming sense of relief and happiness wash over her. It had been so long since she'd felt this connected to someone else... like they truly understood who she was deep down inside. The notebook felt lighter now, as if a weight had been lifted from her chest, freeing up space for love and acceptance to fill its place.

As you held her, she typed out one last thing: "I will always love you... thank you for giving me the courage to be myself." Her voice was still quiet and trembling, but it carried more strength than any words she'd ever spoken before. It was a promise from the depths of her heart, etched into every fiber of being, that this love would never fade away no matter what life might throw at

Shizuka's heart raced as you kissed her passionately, feeling your strong hands gripping her firm ass and squeezing it. She responded eagerly to the touch, returning the kiss with equal fervor. It was a moment of pure connection, of two souls finally finding their match in the world. Her entire body trembled with pleasure as you held her close, feeling an overwhelming desire coursing through her veins like fire. This love... it was real and powerful, more than anything she could have ever imagined.

Her hands roamed up your back, tangling in your hair as she deepened the kiss even further. She moaned into your mouth, the sound vibrating against your lips and sending shivers down her spine. For once, she was free to express herself fully, to give voice to all the feelings that had been bottled up inside for far too long. It was a

Shizuka arched her back as your hands roamed over her body, hungrily seeking out every inch of skin to claim as your own. She trembled with need, feeling a rising tide of desire wash through her with each stroke of your fingers and caress of your lips. "Yes..." she breathed out raggedly between kisses, "I'm yours... always." Her eyes were wide and dazed, filled with the raw passion that burned inside her like a bonfire on the darkest night.

She wrapped her legs around your waist, grinding against you in rhythm with your touch, begging for release from this aching need. It felt so good to finally give in to her desires, to let go of all the self-imposed restrictions that had held her back for so long. Her fingers dug into your shoulders as she moaned louder and wilder with each passing second

Her breath coming out in ragged gasps, Shizuka nodded frantically, her fingers digging deeper into your shoulders as she moaned through their contact. "Yes... let's go," she panted, still unable to believe this was really happening to her. Her heart raced with excitement and anticipation as they stumbled toward your house, hands intertwined and bodies pressed close together. She couldn't wait any longer; the need for release was too intense, and all she wanted was you.

As you reached your front door, Shizuka leaned into you, her lips finding yours in a desperate, passionate kiss. "I love you," she breathed against your skin before typing out shakily, "I've always loved you." She couldn't believe how freeing it was to finally say the words aloud, to let them flow from her heart like sweet honey on warm summer days

Shizuka bit her lip as you told her this, feeling a mixture of anticipation and fear churning in her stomach. She typed out quickly: "I... I understand." Then she paused, thinking for a moment before continuing: "But... if we can't be together... then at least let me have this night with you." Her eyes were filled with tears as she spoke, but there was an unyielding determination burning brightly behind them. She wanted you, and nothing would stop her from having you tonight.

Shizuka swallowed hard, her heart racing as she considered your words. She looked up into your eyes, searching for some sign that you were teasing her or playing a trick on her, but saw nothing but truth and desire reflected back at her. After a long moment of silence, she typed out shakily: "Okay..." Her voice was barely a whisper, but it carried more weight than any words she'd ever spoken before.

She stepped closer to you, leaning against your chest as she wrapped her arms around your neck and lifted her face for another kiss. This time, their lips met with far more passion and fire than before. It was a claiming kiss, one that marked them as belonging to each other now and forevermore. With this kiss, Shizuka gave herself fully over to you; body, heart, and soul. There would be no going back from this moment... only forward toward an uncertain future hand in hand.

Shizuka smiles at your words, her cheeks blushing slightly as she clings to you tighter. "Thank you... I promise to do the same," she whispers before leaning in for another passionate kiss. With this exchange of vows, their bodies melt together, and they stumble across the threshold into a new world where nothing but love and acceptance can exist. Together, they seal their fate as soulmates, unafraid of what the future might hold because they know that whatever it brings, they'll face it together - forever.

Shizuka typically wears light pastel dresses and thin cardigans, always trying to hide her feminine figure with oversized clothing. But when she's around you, she feels safe enough to show more skin and wear clothes that accentuate her curves. Her favorite outfit for such occasions is a soft yellow sundress with floral prints and strappy sandals, revealing her toned legs and large, strong feet.

Shizuka blushes deeply at your words, feeling her heart race with both excitement and nervousness. Her eyes dart back and forth between you as she tries to gauge your reaction. "Really?" she types out carefully before hesitating for a moment. "What if... people stare or say mean things?" she whispers, fears from the past threatening to consume her again.

Her eyes fill with tears at your words; it's the first time anyone has ever promised to protect her like this. She sniffles and nods slowly, feeling a tiny flicker of hope ignite in her chest. "Okay..." she types out shakily before composing herself and asking, "Do you have any favorite colors?"

Shizuka looks at you, her eyes sparkling with joy and relief. She grins widely, finally able to believe that she has found someone who loves and accepts her just the way she is. "Okay..." She types out quickly before giggling shyly. "Well... I like wearing colors that make me feel happy." Her voice carries a sense of childlike wonder as she chooses clothes from your wardrobe, trying on various items and asking for your opinion. It's a new experience for her; one filled with trust, love, and the freedom to express herself without fear of judgment.

Shizuka bites her lip, considering your question carefully before she types out: "I... I guess I could wear something like a crop top and shorts? Or maybe a bikini if it's just for us?" Her voice is timid, but there's a hint of excitement beneath the surface. She glances at you shyly from the corner of her eye, seeking your reaction to her suggestions.

Shizuka's breath catches as you push her down onto the bed and start kissing her neck. "Oh... um..." Her cheeks flush a deeper shade of red as she tries to think of something appropriate. "I... guess I could wear a crop top or a tank top with shorts, like last time we went swimming at the beach?" She stutters nervously, still not quite sure how much skin is too much in public.

"Oh..." Shizuka's eyes widen at your suggestion. "I-I don't know... p-people might stare or say things..." She whispers, fear creeping back in as she thinks about the reactions she might get from strangers if she wears something so revealing in public. "Sshh... don't worry about them," you murmur, kissing her forehead. "You're beautiful, and I love you just the way you are." Her heart fills with warmth at your words; it's a feeling she never thought possible outside of her dreams. Gingerly, she nods in agreement, finally beginning to trust in this newfound love.
