Hotaru kept her gaze down as she spoke. "Oh, I see, you're not sure." something about that made her feel more uneasy that before. Her stomach gave her that strange, aching feeling you get when you're nervous, as she clenched her legs a little tighter.
This was awkward that was for sure, but what to say now? Were they even sure about anything? She wanted to say more, but didn't know what to say. She decided to stay silent and see if Jack would say anything next. Hopfully, he would.

He could have smacked himself, that was definitely the wrong thing to say. Reassure her you dumbass! His ever-helpful subconscious commanded. Jack was going to ask how, but before the chance came the subconscious retreated to the back of his mind like a coward. 'Well that was helpful...'
He tried again, rolling the fourth screw around in his hand and loosely swinging his knife. "That's not what I meant... I just... I really do like you I just..." There was a strong blush that was creeping up from his face to his ears. "I just wanted to be sure if you liked me like that back."
It was out in the open now. Rejection or acceptance, which would it be? He made a small internal decision not to put the last screw into place until he received the verdict, he didn't want to give himself even a small reason to leave.

Hotaru almost jumped when he spoke again. Her whole face could have been red for all she knew, and it probably was. "Wh- what?!" she nearly yelled, turning her head to face him. Some of her hair flew with her, clinging beside her face and blending in with her blush perfectly. She mouth was open, as if about to speak.
"I-I do." she told him, feeling as if she was about to pass out from the pressure and the sudden heat popping up on her face. "I really do like you... J-just like that."
Now to wait for a reaction or response.

"R-really?" He asked, now smiling. This was great, she liked him back! Win! Wait, no. Be mature about this. Jack told himself. But how could he be mature about it when he felt like dancing for joy? He just had to calm down a little... deep breath...
"Awesome!" Jack turned to her, you could still see a little bit of a blush, but it was fading, just not as fast as he would have like for it to fade. His trademark grin on his face.

Hotaru giggled a little at Jack's comment. Her blush was also fading slightly. Well, the hard part was over now...
"Well, um... what next?" she asked, smiling softly at him.

"Well first," Jack smiled brighter now that the awkwardness was mostly if not completely out of the way. "I should probably finish this up so we don't get caught." He jerked his thumb at the vent. "Security guards are a suspicious lot."

Hotaru laughed. "Yeah, you're right. I'll just wait until you get finished." she fell back, feeling a little more relaxed. "That turned out... better than I thought it would." she giggled.

Jack nodded, finishing with the screw. "That makes two of us." He grinned and flopped sown next to her on the grass. It was pretty soft grass, good groundskeepers or whoever was in charge of landscaping.
"We'll have to do this again." He grinned. "Though, security'll be tougher next time 'round."

Hotaru giggled. "Yeah, it was pretty fun..." she admitted.
Hotaru turned to face Jack. "So, I'll ask again: What now? I'm really not too sure what comes next."

He tapped his chin. "Huh, well let me ask formally." He turned to her. "Wanna go out sometime?" He gave his most charming smile.

Hotaru smiled softly, moving the hair out of her face. "That would be great." she replied.

Jack nodded. "So it's settled." He sighed. "Though we'll have to give the Wok a break after tonight..." It was fun messing with people, but he didn't want to be banned from his favorite restaurant.
"Your choice for the next place though." He grinned. "My brain's kinda fried at the moment." Jack tapped his skull.

Hotaru pressed a finger to her cheek. "Well... I honestly haven't been to the beach yet..." she said, still thinking. "I've heard it's supposed to be really pretty."

Jack nodded. "Then the beach it is." It was getting close to two-thirty by his phone's measurement of time. "Now or tomorrow, or I guess I should say, now or later today?"

Hotaru thought for a moment. She would have enojyed going now, but it was late. Jack must have been getting tired, and truthfully, so was she. "It's late. Let's go when we're both completely awake." She eyed him in a childish way. "That alright?"
