"Well... yeah!" He realized it was jealousy he was feeling, not anger like he'd thought. Mush couldn't stop himself from blushing madly. He had only met Ershey the other day, but already he was jealous of her spending time with another guy.

Ershey couldn't help but smirk, trying her best to not laugh too hard. "I was just talkin' to them, Mush. 'Sides, Leo's havin' his own girl problems. And Goblin... I wouldn't even look at him like that."

Mush believed her - what reason did he have not to?
"Okay..." He replied, still somewhat reserved. "Just as long as they don't get any ideas."
Then, Mush realized that he sounded quite possessive... And scary...
"I mean. If that's okay. I mean, well... What I mean is that... Are you? Are...we?"

"I don't think they'll get any ideas," said Ershey, quickly ordering for the two of them as she saw the waiter pass by.
She caught the tail end of what Mush was saying and looked at him with confusion. "Are we...?"

This made Mush blush even more, and he feared he would stammer even more.
"I mean... I li-like you. And I was just wonderin'... Are you my... I mean, am I your...?" He cleared his throat, hoping she would get the gist.

Ershey stared at Mush. She would've loved to say yes but things were going fast, a bit too fast for her liking. She had only met the guy a couple days ago and he was already asking her out. Then again, he was sweet and cute and thoughtful...
Ershey looked over at Mush in shock, trying to find the words as she hurried to make up her mind.

Mush could tell she was thinking about it for too long. He had asked too soon.
"AmIyourfriendthat'swhatImeant." He said quickly, all in one breath.

"I, uh... Of course, you're my friend!" she answered, confused by his sudden outburst. She was sure that that wasn't what he was going for. Or at least she thought.
"I'm confused," Ershey muttered quietly. "Wh-what just happened?"

"Nothin'. Nothin' happened." Mush shrugged, hoping he was acting naturally. Which he probably wasn't.

Ershey suddenly hated herself. He had been nothing but a gentleman to her and here she was, putting her foot down. She grew quiet, unsure of what to say as she looked down at her fingers. As if on cue, the waiter came with their food and drinks, served them and left almost immediately.
"H-hungry?" she asked quietly, already knowing that Mush would be stuffing his face with food as soon as it came.

"Yeah, of course." He answered, though he had been slow to actually start eating. His sandwich didn't touch his lips until after he answered...

Ershey took a bite out of her sandwich, going through the pros and cons in her head. She loved spending time with him, he listened to her and he was incredibly thoughtful... then again, he knew nothing about Ericson (which usually made the boys she was dating run away as fast as they could) and didn't know how he would take it. It was something Ershey didn't like to share but felt like Mush needed to know.
"Hey Mush," she said after a couple moments. "W-Why do you like me?"

Mush almost choked on his sandwich.
He took a napkin and wiped his mouth before looking over at Ershey. "You're funny, smart, hard-workin', nice... Just beautiful. Outside and inside."

Ershey blinked. She didn't think he was going to answer that fast.
"You'd still like me even if I did bad things?" she asked hesitantly. Before they got together and before anything happens, she wanted Mush to know. She knew she'd regret it later but, for now, she felt as if it was the right thing to do.

Mush shrugged.
"A lot of people I know have done bad things. Hell, Racetrack does bad things all the time. And he's still my best friend. Just because you...make bad choices...doesn't meant you're a bad person."
