The next day, Ned made it back to the house of Speeding Spike. His hands where sweating nervously as he hesitated to knock on the door. He knew what he had said yesterday "How about tomorrow, or next Saturday?" but what if... What if he changed his mind? What if he is in a very bad mood? What if...
Ned took in a deep breath before knocking on the door. He waited patiently for his one, and only crush, or maybe Crusher. After several seconds later, Speeding Spike had opened the door as he was practically carried by his crutches. "Oh, Hey Ned! Nice meeting you today." He spoke with a smile. "I... U-Uh... I was wondering if maybe we could s-spend some time together? Y-You know? W-with the movies I have given you as a gift." The nerd replied as he stuttered. "That would be great! Please, do come in!" He said as he stepped aside to let Ned in. Ned walked in, looking down at the ground. His cheeks heating up as he blushed.
Once the two made it to the couch, they just sat there, awkwardly for a second or two. Maybe even three. "So... Um... Shall I start the popcorn before we watch the movie?" Ned asked. The green haired male nodded, smiling. "I would love that." With that, Ned got up and went over to the kitchen, and hunted down the little pack of popcorn. Once he did, he removed the plastic wrap and placed it in the microwave, then started it up. He watched the little pack spin, shake, and jolt as he listened to the popping. Pop pop pop went the popcorn as the bag rises. While he watches, he began to ponder about how his day may go. Should he confess? Should he keep quiet throughout the whole movie, or should he speak every now and then to him? He had awoken from his thoughts once the microwave went off as to tell him that he was done.
Once the two were sitting on the couch, a bowl of popcorn between them, and the movie starting. Things to be going well for the two. It may have been at least 30 to 40 minutes into the movie before the green haired boy leaned in and rested his head on Ned's shoulder. Ned couldn't help but to tense up, and felt heat on his cheeks as he blushed. "Hey Ned. I just want to say thank you for spending time with me. You know, after all that has happened."
"O-Oh! I-It's no problem. It's my pleasure." Ned stuttered. He couldn't believe it. The once feared super villain was thanking him. He was leaning on him. It was honestly so cute. His cheeks became redder as he thought of this. He couldn't believe it. A man with a criminal record was his crush.
"You know, Ned. You're kind of cute when you're blushing."
"W-Wait. WHAT?!" Ned accidently shouted. Then covered his mouth. All Speeding Spike did was just laugh at his cute behavior. "Yeah. You're kind of cute." Ned looked away with burning red cheeks after what he said. The flirtatious, green hair male just laughed, and watched the rest of the movie with him.
