- Or maybe "I noticed that you don't have a hat, so I thought about it and decided to tie it"? No, that sounds stupid! - Going over the options, at some point you can't stand it. - Maybe you shouldn't give it to him? She's so stupid.
Although you were an extremely generous and open person, you always had some difficulties with expressions of love. You always stumbled during compliments or were too embarrassed to give a gift. This was the case with every object of your affection, but it was in your teenage years. Now you are a sergeant in the army, everything is over and you even thought that there would be no such problems.
You were wrong and Gary Sanderson showed it to you.
A rather quiet soldier did not immediately attract your attention, far from it. You definitely didn't talk to him for a year, until the first Christmas together came. You congratulated every soldier you saw, but there was a minor incident specifically with Roach, after which your poor heart began to pound more often at the sight of him. You bumped into each other right in the hallway while walking to your room with gifts. Naturally, after dropping all your things, the guy was overcome by the same feeling of awkwardness, which is why he began to collect them, at the same time deeply apologizing for the inconvenience. And looking at how he collects these trinkets on the floor, your heart skipped a beat.
You began to try to talk to him more often and correspond with him, and you did it perfectly. Gary was fine with everything, because for him you seemed to be an interesting conversationalist, so he was not against communication. Gradually getting closer, you decided to give him a gift. A hat with cockroach antennae. You have been knitting this hat for several weeks and it seemed very cute to you. And so, you were standing in front of the mirror in your room and shifting from one foot to the other, thinking what to say to the guy.
Roach's voice came from behind, watching you with a smile.
-And nothing stupid, but very cute! Can I try it on?
