Marriage Proposal

"Hey Max."

"What's up, Nikki?"

"Would you marry me?"

Max spat out his drink all over the grass he was sitting on, turning slowly at the green haired little girl who had asked him for his hand in marriage. He looked at her with his mouth wide open, and his eyes wide with beads of sweat dripping down his face.

"But…we…we…we're not even…dating!" Max inadvertently shrieked, with Nikki's cheeks puffing a little from the laughter she was holding in. Max, realizing what he did, blushed and turned away from Nikki.

"Huh? We share a tent together, we go out on dates in the woods, sometimes kiss and hold hands. I could've sworn we were dating this whole time," Nikki explained once she regained control of her laughter, her face blushing and her eyes getting a faraway look as she remembered all the times the two spent alone together.

"What!? I thought we were just hanging out together. Neither one of us ever established a relationship!" Max exclaimed, with the blush still evident on his face. Nikki started at Max with a blank look for a few seconds before sighing.

"Oh…well this is awkward," Nikki mumbled, her face covered with a light blush, her hand scratching the back of her neck, and shifting her leg. "So…is that a 'no' on the marriage proposal?" Nikki asked, looking away from Max, her voice breaking from the nervousness going through her in waves. Max, however, brought Nikki down to his level, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"I never said that. We might was well make all that 'dating' official," Max answered, with his face blushing even more than it was already. Nikki smiled before enveloping Max in a bone crushing hug, rubbing her head on Max's cheek. Max smiled, and started petting Nikki's hair, preparing to enjoy the rest of the alone time they were going to have together.
