*a part of him sings at this. another part wails. friend. he was friend zoned. he saw this coming. my god did he. but his arms warp around her, pulling her in gently* …ditto.

Hopefully we’ll become the best of friends, right? I’m starting to care about you so much even though we haven’t know each other long. You’re so unlike anyone I’ve met and I mean that positively. *buries her face into his chest*

*and again. friend. he wishes to admit to liking her. that he wants to take her somewhere. but his fears keep him back. he can’t say that to her; she’s had something happen. he seen it in her eyes sometimes. but he dare not ask what. it isn’t his business. instead he lifts his hand and gently rubs her back for a moment* w-well i’m glad.. t-to be worth remembering like this.

…i’m not good at it either. i guess… i’m sorry. i’m just. *he shrugs helplessly* i’m just so… grateful i met you.

*Smiling, she walks over to him slowly, her even 5 foot frame looking up at his 5’5 height. Getting a bit used to displaying actions over words, she gently hugs him* Always thanking me and saying how happy you are to have met me. Silly. You’re becoming a really great friend to me so of course I’ll be here for you.

…i-if i didn’t meet you though i don’t… don’t think i would have been brave enough…

You probably would have if it had been anyone else.

s-stop it i’m. i’m trying to say how good you’ve been to me. d-don’t say things like that.

*blinking, she steps down a bit* S-Sorry..I’m just not used to compliments..or someone being so grateful to me..*rubs at her arm a bit, self conscious*

…i’m not good at it either. i guess… i’m sorry. i’m just. *he shrugs helplessly* i’m just so… grateful i met you.

*her brain went into overdrive, thoughts and interpretations running about what that could mean and her face took on a strawberry color* …I’m a present…? *She whispered to herself, unbelieving. She tried to smile at him to show she appreciated the thought* You know..same here..for me..

*the strawberry and grape stood there in silence for a while before the grape smiled shakily, and he rubbed at his elbow* y-you’re more then that… i. i’ve been in this city for months but i’ve barely stepped out my apartment and… and then i say hello to you and… and i’m outside. i, i’m walking in the snow and going to cafes and meeting people and… and it’s… it’s thanks to you and… i can’t ever thank you and then you spend my birthday with me, a-and say you’ll visit me on christmas y… you’re the best thing to happen to me.

I..I think it was mostly you’re doing.. You’re becoming braver; meeting people and taking a chance to explore the city. I just happen to be by your side during the journey *Smiles shyly as she scuffs her foot on the floor, wondering and slightly denying being the main reason he was becoming braver* It’s all you.

…i-if i didn’t meet you though i don’t… don’t think i would have been brave enough…

*he pulls back and smiles at her. the kind of smile one normally saw on Megamind’s face; confident, maybe a bit snarky, but still warm to look at* how’s that?

*blushes a bit and giggles* Well any smile works but t-that one does too.

*he pulls it back a notch to his normal smile before looking at his hands* …i. i have to say i’m. really glad, you know…? my christmas came early.

…no i’m not, i… i’m blue and.. bald and… *touches his big head* …this isn’t normal.

*Smiles* blue happens to be my favorite color. *walks over to him and lightly brushes her fingers across his head* Plus, I like you just the way you are. You’re simply you. I don’t know how many times I’ll have to call you handsome before you believe me *giggles lightly*

… *he smiles and leans in, and pressing his head into her hand gently* …i think i… i might believe it if you say it again.
