You say that like I don't think of you. Um. But I do. All the time, actually. Er... Well maybe not like all all the time but most of the time? A lot. I think about you a lot.
[Ohhh here comes the nervousness. Donnie takes a deep breath. You can do this..!]
And... I really, really like you. There's only so many people I've really gotten to know outside of family but I don't know it's...comfortable being around you. You know? I wanted to make you something, just cuz.
[Donnie glances up at her, his smile just a shy. Even if these admissions aren't surprising, they still feel warming, somehow. Or he's coming down with something. No, no, he's pretty sure he's well.]
I know we still technically haven't gotten the chance to go on that museum date, and I really had fun with you at the ball... And yeah, I know things got kind of rough here and there but we've still managed to stick together despite all that....
[He pokes his fingers together, feeling himself start to lose his nerve.]
-a-and I'm glad of that. It makes me feel like we can take on anything! I ...just...
Have no idea how to do this, ohmybananapancakes why is this so hard.
[Anemone tilts her head slightly at Donnie with slight puzzlement as she tries to put the pieces together on what he's building up to. Eventually, she straightens, and offers a hand to him, a feeling of excitement and hope building in her core.]

I'm just so glad that you think of me. That you made me something so beautiful.

You are always close to my thoughts too.
[She admits shyly. She wonders if maybe now's the time to finally ask? What if she chickens out again though?]
And I also really really like you.
[Neither of these confessions are a surprise, and it's comforting that they both know that.]
In a way that makes me want to make beautiful things for you too.

Donnie, are you...?
no subject
I...yes? I think? Are we thinking about the same thing?
[It feels like all the words keep trying to slip away and he's doing everything he can to scrape together sentences.]
Are...you cool with it being a thing? Er. Us? Does...that make sense?

[She admits, delicately holding his small hand.]
I want you and me to be... you know. Together. Officially, in a boyfriend/girlfriend way

[Donnie brings his other hand to grasp hers with both with a laugh of relief.]
That sounds so much better than 'thing'.
