"What do you call a tick on the moon?"

"I wonder...."

"A lunatick. Get it?"

Okay, that was.. officially the most stupid thing I've ever uttered. Why did I say that. Oh my god. I'm such a loser, such an idiot. I could've said anything, but I chose to say a corny joke? What am I doing with my life, dude. I'm so cringey.

"Brown...?"

Oh. Yeah, right. I forgot I was even with Pink, I was stressing too much. Hahaha.

"Uh. Yeah?" I finally stumbled out. I'm such a loser compared to her. She's so much more likeable than me.. I think, at least. Most people put it that way.. I think? I'm as smart as a goddamn roach when it comes to my social life.

"..Brown? Are you listening?" Pink asked me. Oh god. Was I tuning her out the entire time she was talking? This is so embarrassing. 

"I'm listening! But uh... what did you say?" I was nodding like an idiot. Pink giggled, and god my legs almost buckled. She sounds so nice. Her laugh is perfectly in tune; like it belongs in music. That's corny.

"Maybe can we... go somewhere? And not just stand here in your doorway?" She asked me. Oh god. We'd just been standing here the whole time? I really was trying to crack jokes when we're just idly standing here?

"Totally, sorry. Maybe uh.. to the coffee shop? Down the street? I don't know." I decided to offer. That's stupid. Maybe I should say something more.

"..Uhm, or we could just.. stay here? But preferably like.. on my couch?" I stuttered before she could reply to my stupid ass. 

"We could just stay here... I guess?" She murmured back. I noticed her look down. Am I being too much?  I nodded again, looking at Pink's lovely face; I was probably looking like such a dork. What if she thought I was a dork (in a bad way)? I must be stressing this too much. Act cool. Act cool.

"Alright, we can grab some snacks too." I hummed, putting on a mask of faked confidence. I was almost bouncing on my toes as we headed downstairs; I really hope Pink didn't notice me almost tumble down the stairs like an idiot. I'm being way too hyper for such a simple hangout. 

As soon as Pink sat down on my couch, I immediately darted into the kitchen, stumbling over my feet as I opened the pantry door, it acting as my little safety bubble at this point. I was so nervous, for what? I took a deep breath, grabbing a bag of chips, popcorn and some random packs of candy. I put my fake mask of confidence back on as I stepped back into the living room; somehow still almost tripping on my feet every few steps even with my calm act on.

"Here, some snacks, take whatever you want." I grinned; again, like a dork. I set all the snacks I grabbed on the coffee table, nervously opening the popcorn and eating a handful of pieces. I bet I look so stupid right now. I glanced over at Pink; she hasn't touched any of the food, and she looked nervous as fuck. That isn't good.  

Pink hadn't even touched any of the food yet; but maybe I'm just stressing.. 

"Do you play any.. instruments?" I blurted suddenly, swallowing my mouthful of popcorn. That's embarrassing as hell; I literally just broke silence with a stupid question, and on top of that was talking while chewing food. Jeez.                                                                
"Uhm..no, but I assume you do, since you asked?" Pink replied, in her usual, practically angelic, tone of voice. 

"Oh, yeahh. I play alot of instruments.. brass, piano, a lot of woodwind. They just call to me, yknow?" I rambled a bit; she seemed to be staring at my face. Is that a bad thing? I quickly shut myself up before I continued for hours about the instruments I played. I play way too many instruments, now that I think about it. Maybe I should stop playing some of the ones I don't frequently play. I got snapped out of my trance again when I heard Pink giggling and smiling at me. I felt my face heat up looking at her and hearing her. Wow. Way to go on "playing it cool", me. 

"You're so cute, Brown." ..Oh my.
