"You know, you could go through the expected ritual of buckets of chocolate ice cream followed by wastebaskets full of hardened tissues, or you could just go for me," he said as he flicked a strand of her hair out of her eyes.
She tried to make a point by attempting to murder via stare, but his obliviousness proved to be the most impenetrable shield.
"Come on, Blue. One date won't kill you."
"It's not me I'm worried about," she seethed through clenched teeth.
"Why are you being so difficult?"
"Oh gee, I don't know, maybe because you are literally asking me out an hour after Green and I broke up!"
A pained expression briefly flickered across the golden-eyed boy's face as he stood silently in front of Blue. Memories of his former flame of three long years crossed his mind- memories that he would rather do without. Gold quickly recovered and put on a genuine smile.
"I'm telling you Blue, you could do so much better. And besides, you broke up with him."
Blue threw her hands up in the air, clearly exasperated at the nerve of this guy. "Gold, honey, no. Just no. I'm going through a lot right now and I'm kinda going to resent you for asking me out at such a time from now on unless you stop pestering me."
Gold suddenly caught Blue's arm and held her strongly. "Blue, if I leave you alone right now, you're going to cry. Just give me a chance to take your mind off of things. One date, today. It's all I ask."
Blue met eyes with Gold and remained silent. She frowned a bit, then gently brushed away Gold's hand, and nodded slowly. "..Okay."
Gold, still watching the girl who was now turned away, let out the breath he didn't know he was holding. "Okay."
