He squeezed her hand randomly as they walked along the park pathway amongst the other local people. For a fifth date, Clay's quite proud of himself for picking the right day to go for ice cream. Luck had been on his side considering it had stayed sunny all day, and Sara was wearing a cute little, baby pink sundress. Sunglasses her resting on top of her head while her usual blonde curls rolled down her shoulders.

It was perfect.

Yet, everything seemed to be that way with Sara. Perfect hugs, perfect kisses, perfect them.

Except that they weren't really them, they were just Clay and Sara. Individual entities. That kinda sucks, but he doesn't really know what to do to ask her out. He's never been put in this position before. He's never wanted to be with someone, it's usually been the other way around.

Besides, what if she says no?

Clay thinks he might die.

Seriously.

''Strawberry,'' Sara said, breaking him out of his thoughts.

''Huh?''

''I said I think I'll get strawberry flavour,'' she giggled, bumping him with her hip. ''Clay, were you even listening?''

Clay nodded, his cheeks turning slightly pink. ''Yeah, I was just thinking that it would match your dress.''

Sara grinned endearingly. ''You're so cute,'' she told him, leaning up to kiss his cheek. ''And you're so right, if I spill any no one will notice. It'll blend.''

''Nice,'' he chuckled as they approached the ice cream stand.

After he bought their ice creams (he got chocolate, because chocolate is always the best), they walked down around the park with their little tubs, eating with those tiny plastic spoons. Little kids were running around and old people were sitting on benches or feeding the ducks by the lake. And people, just like them were holding hands and joking around. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. Magical, that's what it was.

''So I watched a basketball game last night, you know, to see what all the fuss was about.''

His eyebrow raised in surprise. ''Yeah? What did you think?''

''Sweaty, hot guys running around after a ball? Thanks for the recommendation.'' she smirked, licking the remaining ice cream off her lips. Sara laughed at his deadpan expression. ''No, seriously, it was okay. Amy's boyfriend came around to watch it too, but he didn't really get the rules. But I was rooting for The Bobcats, you said you like them.''

''You remember that?''

''I remember everything you told me,'' she repeated his words from weeks earlier in a sweet tone.

They fell into silence again, just content with being with each other and watching everyone else. When they finished their ice creams, their hands joined again immediately. So Sara spoke up again, ''So, have you decided when you're going to ask me to be your girlfriend yet?''

Clay's eyes widened as he stopped walking. He coughed after forgetting to breathe. ''W- what?''

''Well, this is our fifth date.'' Sara shrugged innocently. She looked down to the floor, kicking an invisible stone. ''I- I like you, okay? You're not like other guys. You treat me right, my last boyfriend never bought me ice cream or came to my apartment with bagels without being asked, he never made me feel as confident as you do. I was just hoping that you felt the same way.''

''I do,''

She looked at him with in frustration. ''Then why don't you want to be my boyfriend?''

''I do,'' He placed his hands on her shoulders, moving closer to her. ''I do, I do,'' he said soothingly, inching his face closer to hers. Their noses rubbed against each others. ''I do.'' He moved his hands up to the back of her head as their lips pressed together fiercely, in the middle of the pathway in the park where many people were around. He didn't care, he wanted her to be his and nothing was going to stop him.

Sara smiled widely when they broke apart, breathless. ''You do?''

''Yeah, do you?''

''No, Clay, I don't want to be your boyfriend,'' she teased. ''I'll settle for your girlfriend, though.''

Clay moved in to kiss her again, brushing his nose against hers. ''You're so funny.''

''I know,'' Sara grinned, pulling him in for another earth shattering kiss.

They weren't just Clay and Sara anymore. They were ClayandSara, and that was something he never wanted to change.
