"Yeah." She agreed, worrying her lip with her teeth a bit more before finally letting it go and absently licking where her teeth had left a slight indentation. "A whole lot. And.... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for putting you through all of that." She said in a rush. "But you've been amazing. I don't know what I would've done without you around this Summer." She was focusing on his hand, gently playing with his fingers.

"I guess what I'm saying is thank you. Just for... for being you, and also that its your fault that I like you." There.

She'd said it.

Actual admission.

Plain English.... which felt horrible by the way. Ruby hated feeling vulnerable. He knew that. Knew it. And basically in public ugh. Even if there wasn't anyone around, she felt all exposed and like she had no control.

Because really.... did this change anything? At all? No way was she brave enough to ask anything like that so she went quiet again and schooled a more nonchalant look on her face.

Nailed it.

She was apologising? What in the name of-- Did she realise that she didn't reaaaaaaaally do anything?

Shaking his head, Grayson started, "All that happened to me was that I got beaten up and then yelled at lots. Can't even begin to imagine what you must have been going through." Always worse for her, wasn't it? "So don't apologise, mkay?" And then she was complimenting him, which caused a small smirk to spread itself across his lips. Compliments were nice, keep 'em coming. "Good thing I was there, then." Wink. "I'll always be there. Just so you know and all."

Jeez, that was kinda sappy, wasn't it? Pull it together, Whitlock!

And then she said it. She actually actually said it. And Grayson? Grayson smiled a proper, wide Grayson!smile. No smirks or flirtatiousness, just a smile. It must have been hard for her to say that, wasn't it? So, he was appreciating this. Very much so.

"Well, I mean, I am irresistible." Joking, kinda. "And it's your fault that I like you too. Who TOLD you to be so amazing, huh?" Jeez, Banner, way to almost drive a guy insane.

The silentness was still kinda weird, you know? Especially between the two of them, since they were both quite good at keeping the conversation going. But then again, this wasn't just any old conversation. "You alright, then?" he whispered, blue eyes still on her.
