Summary: Your crush stumbles on you in the hallway holding a suspiciously pink and ribbony box… you try to play it off, but under duress you reveal they’re chocolates… that you bought for her. She’s a little surprised, though not unhappy. After all, it’s not her birthday or anything, so why the present? You then ask her to go out to a movie with you. She asks who else is going, but gradually realizes you’re asking her out. Well, it's funny you should ask...

Oh hey!

I almost didn't see you leaning against the wall like that, you really know how to blend into the background. You're like one of those camouflage stick insects that's the same color as bark and climbs on trees, you know, the ones they used to show on the nature channel back when people still had cable. Er, I just mean with the, blending in and all... I'm not saying you look like a bug. (Laugh) Nevermind. So, what are you doing here?

…

You were waiting for me to come back? Oh, okay. Well, here I am, back by popular demand. (Laugh) So what did you want? And, uh, what's that?

…

What are you holding, I mean. You know, the box.

…

Well… it doesn't look like nothing. It's pink and it has that cute little ribbon on it. I know that's not just like, your new earbuds from Amazon or whatever. (Laugh) In fact, it looks like… I don't know, like one of those overpriced boxes of chocolate they sell at the pharmacy checkout counter on Valentine's Day. You know, the big heart-shaped ones with the–

…

Oh, it is? I knew it! What, do they sell them on clearance during the off-season? Maybe I should swing by later and pick one up for myself. (Laugh) What's it for?

...

The chocolate, I mean, what's it for?

...

Well, I figure since you don't exactly carry around beribboned pink sweets every day, it must be for something special.

...

Sorry, uh, is something wrong? You've got this weird look on your face like you're really nervous all of a sudden.

…

(Playful) Yes, you do! Come on, we've known each other long enough for me to know something's on your mind when your brows get all furrowed and you start fidgeting with your hands. It's okay, it's cool. We're friends, you don't have to be nervous. What's going on?

…

Well, I mean, you did say you were here to meet me, right? Why?

…

It's for me? Really? Uh… okay. Thank you! The whole thing is really for me?

...

Sweet. Here, let's flip this bad boy over and see what's supposed to be inside…

Oh my god, look at the picture on the back, it has those little crunchy caramel turtles… I already know I'm going to absolutely devour this whole box tonight, I'm going to be so ashamed logging the calories in my fitness app tomorrow morning. (Laugh)

But seriously, thanks so much! This was a really nice present... Though, and, don't get me wrong, I am a little curious why… I mean, it's not my birthday or anything.

…

A question? Uh, okay. Sure, ask away. If you need, like, a favor or something then, well, no promises, but I will say, you sure know how to butter a girl up. (Laugh)

You know what, normally I'd have enough dignity to wait until tonight, but I'm really in the mood for some caramel… I need to try one of these now. (Laugh) You don't mind, do you?

[Box opens]

Mmm… crunchy. Love it. Sorry, uh, I wasn't listening. Could you say that again?

…

"Out?" Or, sorry again, I shouldn't talk with my mouth full… (Laugh) "Go out" with you where? Are you going somewhere?

…

A movie? Okay. Which one?

…

Oh yeah, I've been meaning to go see that actually! But all the theaters were booked a couple weeks ago and I guess it just slipped my mind. Rotten Tomatoes said it was like, amazing, and the audience score wasn't too bad either for once. If it's today, I'm free basically all day, count me in. Who else is coming?

…

No one else? I mean I know a couple people who–

…

Just us? You mean going to the movies, just you and me? ...

Oh...

...

Wait… Wait, uh… Okay, if I'm way off-base here then please don't laugh or anything, but… When you said you wanted to ask me to go out a second ago…

Did you mean, um…

Did you mean to say, like, you wanted to ask me out? Like… on a date?

…

Oh. Okay… okay. Sorry I should have picked up on that, I don't know… I had momentary caramel turtle-induced brain melt or something. (Laugh) Now I kinda get why you were all nervous earlier.

…

No, no, don't apologize. It's totally fine, I didn't mean anything bad by it, just… I get it now. It makes sense, I mean. Well, uh, I…

…

Sure. Yes.

…

I mean yes, I'll go with you. I'll go out with you, I mean. I'd… I'd love to go out with you.

I, uh, I didn't really know how to tell you, but, these last couple months… I've felt it, too. We've been getting a lot closer with everything going on, and… I always cared about you, you've always been there for me as a friend, but… I've caught myself daydreaming about us being something more than just friends.

In fact… laying all my cards on the table here (Laugh)… there were a couple times where I almost asked you out.

…

No, I swear. (Laugh) I wanted to. I always just chickened out at the last minute… I don't know, I know it's just old stereotypes or whatever that say the guy has to ask the girl but… I just almost didn't feel like it was the "proper way," you know, and that scared me. And I definitely didn't know if you felt the same way, which scared me a whole lot more. (Laugh)

So, I never did… but there was more than one time I seriously was about to. Like, remember that time we were at the restaurant, and I raced back 10 minutes after I walked out to ask if I left my scarf on the seat? Yeah… hopefully this doesn't make me sound crazy, but… I didn't come back that night to ask you about my scarf… I just made up that excuse last second. (Laugh) But then I saw you and... my anxiety got the better of me...

…

Really? You really had a crush on me all this time? That's sweet. I guess I kinda did, too. I mean not on myself, obviously… (Laugh) On you. It's almost kind of funny… both of us being so nervous about talking to each other, never knowing how the other one felt...

…

I did. Honestly. You're just… you're so sweet and smart and warm, you make me laugh… you're one of my favorite people. You're really someone pretty special, I hope you know that. Like, it's corny to say stuff like that, I get it (Laugh) – but I'm a corny girl. And it's all true.

…

Aww. Thank you. I'm just me, you know. Nothing more, nothing less. But… it means a lot that you think I'm someone special, too. Maybe… we could be each other's special someone. I'd like that a lot. Say, uh, since we're maybe... going to be a thing now… do you think I could get a hug?

…

Mmm, alright. I love your hugs. Let me just wrap my arms around you… yeah, that's it. (Whisper) I'm so glad you were brave enough to do this.

…

Of course I said yes! (Laugh) You're awesome, why wouldn't I?

…

Aww, well… oh wait no, keep rubbing my back like that, I that feels so nice… Mmm. Anyway, what I was going to say, before your wonderful arms so rudely interrupted my train of thought (Laugh)... is, I'm sorry it doesn't always feel that way. I get it. Life is hard, it can be tough not to be cynical sometimes. I don't always feel great, either. But… you are. Awesome, I mean. You are. At least, I think so, for whatever that's worth…

…

Aww, that's really sweet of you to say. Hold me a little tighter, please? Don't worry, I'll set the box down so my precious turtles don't accidentally get crushed. (Laugh) I like you almost as much as I like them, and that's very high praise, believe me.

...

Do you, uh, want to try something else couples sometimes do…

…

Oh, don't play coy, buddy, I think you know what I mean. (Laugh) Wait, do you really not know?

…

You're so clueless sometimes. (Laugh) It's adorable. This.

[Kiss]

That was... really nice. You… you just have no idea how long I've wanted to do that, and to be like this. Feeling my lips pressed against yours, your arms around me, mine around you… sure, a hallway with a flickering ceiling lamp isn't exactly the most romantic venue for this but hey, I'm not complaining. (Laugh) As long as you're here, that's enough.

[Kiss]

Mmm... Uh… Okay, weird question… and you totally don't have to answer, but… have you kissed anyone in a while?

…

No, no, please don't be embarrassed… I didn't mean it like that. I'm not saying I didn't like it, I loved it. I love this. Seriously. It's just… I can tell you're a little inexperienced, or at least out of practice. And… it's kinda cute. (Laugh)

I just wanted to say… if that's part of why you were a little nervous about all this... don't be. I don't judge people based on that stuff. If it were the other way… like if you'd had a lot of practice, if you catch my drift (Laugh) I wouldn't care about that either. (Whisper) It doesn't matter to me. I don't care who else has or hasn't been with you, as long as I get to be with you.

…

Of course. And by the way, don't get me wrong, your kissing seriously isn't bad! Like, sure, it could use a couple pointers, but I give it at least a solid B . Just kidding. (Laugh) Seriously, I hope you didn't think I was being–

…

Okay, thank you. I'm glad you find my dumb jokes funny.

…

(Playful) Oh, B isn't enough for you, huh? (Laugh) Well maybe if you're a diligent student and come to my office hours for practice, we could get that B up to an A… but I don't know, it's going to take an awful lot of homework… though, I am a pretty excellent tutor, if I do say so myself. (Laugh) Speaking of spending time together, actually, uh… you said the movie's in a few hours, right?

…

Well then… would you maybe want to come to my place and hang out a little before? I mean… no sense in making you go all the way back to your place when we're meeting up soon anyway, right?

I mean, like, if you have somewhere to be that's cool, I just… if you're free and you wanted to hang out, maybe–

…

Okay. Let's do it. One last kiss for the hallway?

[Kiss]

Well, follow me. We can have a couple drinks, chill, maybe catch one of those nature docs with the stick insects so you can see what I was talking about earlier (Laugh). Maybe even... get a head start on those lessons. If you wanted to.

…

Alright, let's do it.

Oh wait, almost forgot! Let me just pick up the box of chocolates, can't leave my turtles all alone in the hallway.

If you're really nice, maybe I'll even share one or two with you when we get home. (Laugh) You remember that episode of The Office about the chocolate turtles? That was one of my favorite episodes, I love that one scene where they drive into the lake…
