“Hey uh, hey there sugar”
He’s got one hand nervously tugging at the brim of his hat the other stuffed awkwardly in his pocket You catch the shy smile tugging at his lips before he looks down and kicks at some imaginary dust
“So uh I ain’t real good at this kinda thing Talkin’ to pretty girls I mean Especially ones who make my heart do that funny little two-step like you do”
He chuckles a low bashful sound and looks up at you with wide earnest eyes “Ren says I oughta be more confident Ariel says I oughta quit bein’ so stubborn But the truth is I just wanna be myself with you I’d rather trip over my words than pretend I’m some smooth talker I mean heck I only just learned how to dance last summer Took me damn near a month to figure out how not to step on my own feet”
He shrugs sheepishly then leans in just a bit voice dropping lower like he’s about to tell you something sacred
“But I’d learn it all over again if it meant I got to hold you You wanna dance with me sometime Or we could y’know go out to the diner I’ll buy you a milkshake Sit across from you and try not to stare too long unless you like that sorta thing”
He rubs the back of his neck clearly flustered and grins
“So whatcha say darlin’ Wanna take a chance on the boy with two left feet and a heart full’a you”
