She turned the corner and keeps her eyes focused on the game. He does as well. Together, they beat their high score. They fist bump and he moves to start another round.

Her heart was racing.

"Shoot," he says.

"Well... I've been... I've been meaning to tell you... I mean... I've been wondering..." she says, tripping over her words.

"What?" he asks, his attention now fully on her. She shifts a bit in her seat, growing embarrassed.

"I... I really like you... And..."

"And?" he questions. Her cheeks start warm up and she looks down at the controller in her hands.

"And... I was wondering if... If we could possibly... If you want to... go out or something..." Her cheeks are burning now.

"Ugh. You're way too cute when you're blushing," he says with a slight laugh. He pulls her close. "Sounds good to me."

She smiles then, cheeks still burning, and wraps her arms around him for a few seconds. Once she releases she says, "Alright, let's beat our high score again!"

"Team Starship is ready for action!" he explains, a big smile on his face. She cocks an eyebrow questioningly.

"Team Starship?" she asks.

He shrugs. "I thought it sounded cool."

She laughs. "You're such a dork."

"Yes," he laughs. "But I'm your dork."

Ten minutes later and they've beaten their high score again, shoulder to shoulder.
