Winnie giggled away at a joke he'd just made, glancing towards you for your reaction. You were staring at him, entranced with his sweet laughter and ever soft sky-blue eyes. Realizing you were staring though, you rapidly looked away to the ground, cheeks growing hot much to your dismay. Your friend chuckles again, tilting his head. "Auggie? You alright? You were staring there." Winnie comments, making you stiffen. You flash a glance towards him again, gruffly spitting out a response without thinking.

"Yeah, fine! Was just lookin at your stupid face. So what?" You shrug him off, wincing just as the words left your mouth. Winnie looked a little hurt by your bluntness, something you struggled to keep in check. You felt bad as he flinched, like it was a physical attack. "Sorry. I didn't mean that." You add rapidly, looking as apologetic as possible as you drop your eyes to the floor and crack your knuckles anxiously. Luckily, Winnie knew your struggles to be gentle already, it was a miracle you both were close. He smiled gently and placed a cool hand over yours, thumb rubbing over your knuckles. The touch made your face feel a little hot.

Though you were entirely in denial, you definitely had a huge crush on your best friend. Curse those feelings. "It's fine!" He murmured cheerfully, gazing at you with a twinkling sort of adoration in his eyes. You hesitantly turned your hand over, warm palm meeting his cool one, wrapping around it and awkwardly holding his hand. Winnie beamed at you. "Awe!! Maybe you do like me." He teased, flashing a teasing glance towards your now intertwined fingers. You flush red, head snapping to the side to look away from him.

"Hardly. I hate your guts." You respond sharply, even though the squeeze you gave his hand entirely counteracted your heated words.
