And then I played it off as a joke. [He sighs heavily.] Thing is... it wasn't.
You're cute, Sasha. Funny as hell, too. And probably the only person in Locke who can out-eat me. And I guess with all the stupid joking I was thinking about everything--
And it was really shitty. I'm really sorry. I didn't know what the hell I was going to say to you, so I just... didn't say anything. And then I got back late, because of the mob--[He shakes his head. It's not a good excuse for being an asshole.]
I should've apologized earlier, but I thought it'd be even worse over the phone.
[Oh good. Then he will close that gap of those few steps and kiss her again except this time it's less of a stupid fuck up and more of a "I still don't know what I'm doing but I'm trying???"]
[It's okay Sasha's not sure what she's doing either. After a second of awkwardly trying to figure out what to do, though, she puts her hands on his shoulders and kisses back.]
i dont think its something anyone expected to happen
[Yeah they're not too stupid to figure this out. It only took half a month. Matt has no idea what to do with his hands now, which were firmly shoved in his pockets, so he pulls away after a few seconds of this.
And he smiles that stupid smile that he smiles when he's about to say something stupid. And it could make things a whole lot worse.]
You should never joke about virgin sacrifices to a guy, Sasha. It gets into his head.

Can you come outside?

[Stepping out and closing the door behind her...]

I did something really shitty. [THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO START HE HOPES. Admitting he fucked up?]
no subject
[He's lucky she likes him as much as she does.]

[She takes a deep breath, trying to process all of that.]
I'm not. Going to stay angry or anything. Um. I just--you left me hanging, you know? I didn't know if we...
no subject
He really wants to ask "If we what?" but he's trying to avoid making things worse.]
no subject
[Because he says a lot of weird shit, yeah.]
So, uh...I'm glad it wasn't a joke?
no subject
[Wow. Wow a blush clashes with that blue really badly. He blinks stupidly at her.]
... You're not going to hit me or anything? [SASHA SEEMS LIKE THE TYPE TO PACK A PUNCH.]
no subject
[Is she joking or not? Who knows.]
Let's try to avoid a next time, though.
no subject
Do you want me to... go? [He gestures at his car??]
no subject
[And like where is this going. This kissing and you're cute stuff. Don't just leave her hanging again.]
no subject
It's only been a couple weeks. ... They were kinda packed, though, so yeah, it feels like forever.

You never told me how you felt about it, you know.

[Ah yes the game of trying to make the other one be the first to say something less vague.]

Well, I mean I...like you. A lot.

[THIS IS HOW YOU REACT.]
no subject
[Why else would she be blushing!!!!]
no subject
I'm really bad at this. [In case you couldn't tell. He looks so out of his element.]
no subject
Well, you're better than I am. Probably.
no subject
So... now what? [He never imagined the part where he got to this point.]
no subject
[She's so lame don't make her say this in normal terms.]
no subject
Their secret identities involved in a forbidden love affair. [At least he seems less completely awkward, now.] Can I, um--
[Yes that's a full question, Matt.] Right. This time, I mean.
no subject
[Well she apparently gets the message regardless.]
no subject
I have no icons for this

Sorry about that.

And, uh--do you want to come over for video games sometime this week? [Yes, Matt. Sure. That counts as a date.]
