With her...it's never felt that difficult. Sure, he's still so nervous that he feels like his heart is going to shoot straight through his chest at any moment, but at the same time, it's...natural. It's easy, and when he doesn't get in his own way, being next to her like this comes as fluidly as breathing.

I-it could be a night f-for - [ oh god ] - a-another first, too.
[ Oh god, he's going to die, he can't believe those words just left his mouth, she's going to laugh or pull a way, he's going to have killed this nice moment just as it's been starting, oh god. ]
