West sat up slowly and shuffled closer, considering her next words. His head hurt. Part of him wanted to be all stubborn and stupid and say that it was TOO BAD and that he DIDN'T want to be and that THAT offer had an expiration date of however many minutes ago it was that he'd said stuff and she hadn't said stuff BACK.
But...
"I really really do. For real. A lot." Instead? He was honest.
"It's not." Of course it wasn't. Not after he'd gone to all this trouble.
"It is special. I don't think anyone has ever been asked out by boys who are knocked out a few minutes later in a fancied up broomshed with non-Otetrinae above them." Bioluminescent bugs. Very unique, see? Alice thought so.
"It would have been special anytime you asked, 'cause it's you." He was the special part.
He did?
"Then I will be. See? Girlfriend now." She felt very girlfriend-like now, sitting there and staring at him and eating jelly slugs.
