"Yeah." He murmured, unable to look away from those amazing eyes.

Once again, Ershey was at a loss for words. She couldn't help but stare, captivated by him. Oh crap, why not? After a couple seconds, she moved closer and gave him a quick kiss on the nose.

Mush's eyes went wide and the spot on his nose where she kissed him felt numb.
After a few moments, he found he'd gotten over the original shock and smiled. He still blushed, however, when he moved one of his hands to hold hers.

Ershey grinned, lacing her fingers with his as she stared up into the night sky. Her worries were gone and the boy next to her was all she could think about.
"How are you?" she asked after a couple minutes, a bit unsure of what to say.

"Perfect." He murmured, a smile creeping onto his lips.
"You?"

"Me too," she answered, turning her head to look at him. She didn't want this night to end at all. She would've loved to stay up at the rooftop all night until morning but knew they were both going to get an earful from the other newsies. Oh, if only.
"Thanks for settin' this all up... it's really beautiful."

Mush blushed. "Aw, it was nothin'. Nothin' that you don't deserve."
Mush was so proud of himself. As the night went on, he was getting more and more comfortable being charming and flirty and honest with her. He felt his feelings were getting easier to voice.

"Still," said Ershey with determination and sincerity. "Thanks. No one's done somethin' like this for me before. It's a nice change."

"H-- Have you ever had a boyfriend?" He asked bravely. "We are still playing the question game, right?"

"We can still be," answered Ershey, smirking. "Um, nothin' too serious... so, technically, not really..."
It was the truth. She never really allowed anyone to get too close. And if they ever did, she was the one to end things. The heartbreak was too difficult and she didn't want to rely on anyone else. But with Mush, she felt different. It was all starting to blur. "Had a lot of girlfriends?"

Mush shook his head, tightening his grip on Ershey's hand.
"Dates, not girlfriends. Most of them were annoyed that I was so nervous. So... Didn't work out."

"They just couldn't handle you well enough," she teased, smiling at him. "What's your favorite thing to do when you're not sellin' papes? ...Or eating?"

"I like to exercise. It makes me feel real good, y'know?" He knew that probably sounded lame, but Mush was a simple guy. He liked the simple things in life.
"What about you? Do you sew? Or knit? Or...cuddle puppies?" He asked, laughing.

"I can see that you like to exercise," said Ershey, laughing quietly. Of course, she noticed, who wouldn't?
"Well, if I had a puppy I would definitely cuddle it. Hmm, I'm always workin', so..." Ershey went quiet, thinking cautiously about how she should answer. She was always trying to make money so she can pay. But she wasn't ready to share that just yet. "...when I'm not, I guess... I like watchin' those ballet things. I sneak in sometimes to see what they do."

"That sounds like fun. The sneakin' in part, not really the ballet part... But hey! I've never actually seen a ballet, so maybe..." He shrugged, turning his head to smile at Ershey.
Mush would do anything to make this night last. Even give up food for a whole day.
