SPOILER!!: HER Benji

He had indeed looked horrified... or ill at the very least. So of course this had made Penny absolutely sure he was horrified, mortified, all of the FIED's. All of these things were running through her head as he grabbed her arm. Which was totally fine with, by the way. And then his words. They definitely made her grin wider as she turned back around to face him. "It was?" Nice, she meant. Because honestly she could totally do that again! What she actually did, though, rather boldly, was slip her hand into his quickly and give it a little squeeze. Yes, she was holding his hand. Indeed. And all thoughts of even attempting to study Potions was totally out of the window now.

Could they just stand there holding hands for the next hour? Of course not. They'd get caught showing PDA at some point. For now, though, she was content in this. "Is... that okay?" She did indeed feel as though this was likely the safest form of PDA after all. Heh.

Maybe she was apologizing to herself because she’d touched a boy with really sweaty hands and that was gross. Yikes. But sweaty hands be darned, Benji — without even realizing what he was doing — reached out to grab her forearm loosely as she turned away. ”Nothing to be sorry for! It was... nice,” he said... then finally noticed the fact that he was touching her. Holding her, more like. Now THAT was awkward. He dropped her arm quickly and added an apology of his own to the mix: ”Sorry! I didn’t mean to... you know... grab you...?” He hadn’t meant for that last part to sound like a question, but his voice rose with nerves, and now he was nervous for sure. SHE DEFINITELY HATED HIM. And WHY had he admitted that it was nice? That probably made it sooo obvious that he liked her! How EMBARRASSING!!!! Now she was going to probably reject him and laugh in his face and tell everybody what a loser he was. (Never mind the fact that he really hadn’t confessed anything... It sure felt to him like he had.) The pinkish hue that seemed to take up permanent residence on his cheeks when Penny was around grew a little brighter. ”I just...” he waved his hand in a vague gesture. He wanted to explain, but how could he without making things a thousand times weirder? He had indeed looked horrified... or ill at the very least.
