His heart was a jackhammer against his ribcage, but he smiled through it. It had been a while since he'd felt this excited about a girl."Did you maybe want to go out with me, or are relationships not your speed?"
Though surprised, he grinned against her impromptu lips. With his hand, he grasped the side of her face, and thumbed her cheek gently. He kept it short, and pulled away. "So..? Does this mean that you like me back?"

"No, I was shitfaced. I don't really remember anything from that night." He felt a nervous sweat come over him. Had he fcked up? He hoped not. "Seriously, Mei, what happened?"
He frowned at that last bit, and leaned in to hear her better. "Wait, what's that about the night of the party?" Izzy hoped she wouldn't choose right now to be vague. Clarification with her was unfortunately uncommon.
He frowned at that last bit, and leaned in to hear her better. "Wait, what's...
(Lol for now haha I missed my character)
His mouth felt very dry suddenly, and he swallowed thickly. Saying this girl had baggage was a vast understatement. With a shrug, he crossed his arms and glanced at her. "That's... crazy?"
