Matt listened to Trixie speak, his expression that of, by this point, complete emptiness. "I don't get why you can't see it a completely different way instead of making this my complete fault or whatever you're tryna do." he started, keeping his tone levek though it was proving difficult. "The first time was because you dumped it on me and i panicked, i said friends today because i was unsure of what you also wanted down to the fact we hadn't spoken in a week. And also the fact you told me to not even contact you, which is misleading. I've made it clear enough i want to be with you, and to add on, i never got angry at you so you're seeing that wrong" he finished, not looking her in the eye throughout any of it.

"Because you haven't explained it to me. I'm not trying to make you out as the bad guy, I'm just trying to understand." Trixie rebuffed quietly. "I told you that I want to be with you today. Blatantly. That I would happily be your girlfriend. And you told me you were scared. I kind of figured when I walked over and basically shoved myself in your arms we resolved the argument we had last week. I've been over it. If you're not, tell me what to do so I can expedite the process, because I want to be with you, and I want to be us, not this snappy, argumentative pair of people. Just tell me what you want to do and I'll do it, gladly." She finished, tentatively walking over to him and almost reaching for his hand.

"That might not be what you're tryna do but you sure as hell know how to make me feel that way Trixie" Matt mumbled, glancing around at the scenery,though he had limited visibility as the floodlights started to dim the further they walked. "I don't know how many more times you need me to tell you, I want to be with you. That's it, whether you need me to spell the words out individually or buy a plane and write it in the sky, i do want to be with you. And like you said, I don't wanna just stay arguing with you about this same topic every single day. Its tiring, and quite clearly upsetting for the both of us" he carried on, watching as she walked closer. He took her hand tentatively, continuing to speak whatever he could think of. "If it wasn't for me seeing you straight back talking to Will I would have much less of a problem just..asking you out. Even talking about it" he finished, looking her in the eye for the first time since they had left the car.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." Trixie sighed, listening to him quietly and just about melting at his words. She gently curled her fingers with his, brushing her thumb across the back of his hand as he spoke. "Matt, I told you, that had nothing to do with you or our argument. If I still had feelings for him, I would be with him, rather than trying to make it work with you." She explained quietly, holding his gaze. "I'm sorry if that's how it made you feel. But if it's hard for you then can I at least ask you out? Would you say yes?" Her last words were tentatively teasing.

Matt kept his gaze firmly on Trixies as she spoke, though it was proving difficult as they entered a slightly dark path. The clearing at the end which seemed to be lit up was the only clear scenery he could make out, so he figured they could at least head there. "It's fine, you don't need to keep apologising" he said quietly, kicking up small parts of gravel. "And.. obviously, i'd say yes. But I want you to let me ask you out, or at least try" he said softly, quickly raking his hair out of his eyes as they reached the small, dimly lit clearing. Matt figured that he might aswell put all the effort in for Trixie, after the way he acted it was most definitely the least she deserved.

"I kind of feel like I do." Trixie muttered in turn, staring up at the sky as he continued to speak. A soft smile settled on her face by the time he finished and she nodded. "Alright, if that's what you want." She nodded softly, looking back at him.

Matt nodded and stopped, resting against a wall near them. When he met the girl he most definitely had thought he'd never be asking her out, that he would just stay friends with benefits. But standing there with Trixie he could only want nothing more than to be with her. "Right" he said softly, staying quiet for a couple more minutes before he could actually speak. In his mind, it was either ask now or never have the courage to again. I hope this makes it incredibly clear to you that i do want to be with you..will you be my girlfriend" he asked eventually, his tone a slight mock posh one.

Trixie stopped with him, continuing on stroking his hand as she looked at him quietly, her head tilted ever so slightly. There was a small buzz of excitement clouding out her negative thoughts at the moment, simply because he wanted to be with her. And he didn't date. So she was feeling... a little special, and a little triumphant. She listened to him intently, letting out a slight giggle as he ended, nodding. "I guess so, yeah." She said playfully, wrapping her arms around him tightly and pulling him into a kiss.

Matt raised his eyebrows as Trixies answer, though it wasn't all that serious. "You guess so? Don't seem too keen" he said with a small laugh, wrapping his arms back around her as she did so, pressing his lips gently on hers as she leaned forward. He felt strangely..happy. Excited. A small sick sensation that came with the euphoria was engulfing him slightly, but that was down to the nerves of actually..being in a relationship. Something he obviously vowed he'd never do. "You really didn't give up, did you" he said with a smile, only pulling back to say that before carrying the kiss on.

"Oh, I'm very keen. I don't know what gave you that impression." Trixie teased, feeling a heightened sense of giddiness. She took a breath as he pulled back, listening to him speak and going to reply before she got pulled into another kiss. She gently laced her fingers through his hair and relaxed into his arms slightly.
