This is something that popped up in my mind after I saw this ( bloodydifficult. tumblr post/ 40260420473) and I though it was okay enough to put it somewhere on the Internet.

Copyright disclaimer: None of the characters are mine. I just used them (the story and the movie) as inspiration for... whatever this is.


When she gets to his house, the first thing she announces is that he HAS to wear a tie (secretly, she just wants to see him wear one). So they go up to his room and without saying a word, he lays his neckties and bow ties on the bed (he can see it'll take a while).

She takes the first bowtie she sees and tries to do the knot but when she notices that he's staring, she just loses control of her hands. She's stressed enough as it is, with all the guilt and remorse she feels for tricking him into this whole charade. She keeps trying though, just so she doesn't have to look him in the eye or hear him say something stupid, something that will ruin the night for her. But he just keeps staring at her.

He stares so hard that he begins to notice things that he hadn't seen before, like the freckles on her cheeks and the speckles in her eyes and the roundness of her rosy cheeks and he can only think "I love you, look at me... I love you, look at me..." over and over and over.

Instead of giving up, she tries with a tie next, but the piece of clothing just won't cooperate. So she continues trying with the others and the she only succeeds in getting more frustrated, and he just stands there and lets her insult his ties. They go on like that, he staring and she fumbling and cursing and ignoring him, until they go through all of his neck accessories. Only then does he grab her hands, makes her look at him, smiles that perfect little and says "I think I'll go without a tie".
