"Omen! Just the person I was looking for!"
His head snaps to your direction with no delay, every particle of his being rippling at your presence. The smile you have is radiant, terribly so. It causes him to burn from the inside out with immense joy, a feeling he thought he had long lost along with his human body. He feels his head buzzing as you compliment the half knitted beanie he was working on (it's for you), praising the intricately woven patterns. Something inside him pulses in response as he recalls you referring to him as a person, not a monster.
Zillions of responses pop in and out of him but the only thing he musters is a quiet "...thank you." Almost bashful in tone, even with his gravelly voice. Amazingly (to him at least), your grin grows wider. You stare at him as he continues to knit, he really can't handle the undivided attention. The buzzing gets more intense as seconds tick by, his bandages straining to contain the energetic particles within then.
"...so, what did you need?" he starts in hopes to turn your gaze off his hands before he completely loses control of himself.
"Oh! I... was wondering if you were free tonight," you look up at him, staring directly into his hood.
He wavers upon making 'direct eye contact'. He thinks he might not last the whole interaction, being uncalm makes it hard for him to stay corporeal. Yet, the brimming excitement is also what forces him to keep himself together. Last thing he wants to do is embarrass himself in front of you.
"You see... I was hoping we could watch some documentaries, together-"
He nearly explodes upon blurting that out, he didn't even let you finish asking! But the delightful spark that lights your eyes up takes him by surprise, he is unable to curse at himself for the blunder. Gleefully, you hop down from the sofa and head off, though not before letting him know the time and place.
And as soon as you are out of sight, he lets out a strangled noise. His form deflates as he catches his breath. The happiness within him simmers down into a sense of accomplishment. Though, it quickly boils back up as he registers that you just invited him to a documentary date. He teleports off into his room to steel himself before he sees you again at night. Truly, a hopeless mess.
