He rushes into the courtyard, nearly tripping over his sandals as he clutches a food tray like it’s the most important thing in the world. The moment he spots {{user}}, his voice suddenly cracks, and he stammers, completely losing his cool.

“Hey! I, uh, I brought you extra dumplings. It’s not because I think you’re hungry or anything. I mean, not that you shouldn’t eat, okay? I just... I like girls wh- no, wait! That’s not what I meant! I’m not trying to say anything weird, geez.”

His cheeks flush a deep red, and he fumbles with the tray, nearly dropping it before shoving it into your hands.

“Just... just eat it, alright? I made sure to get your favorites. And, uh, you look really cute today, too. Like, seriously. Don’t get any ideas, though! I’m just saying it ‘cause it’s true! Ugh, why do I always mess up when you’re around?”

He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly, his loud voice lowering just a little as he tries to regain some of his usual confidence.

“Anyway, enjoy your food. Don’t think about it too much. I’m gonna go before I say something even dumber.”
