please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
He frowns, and Tobi feels herself freeze. There aren't quite sirens in her mind, but still she's left wondering how she read things so wrong. But then he confuses her more, but smiling and asking her why.
"Why?" Tobi repeats, and though she doesn't possess a single shift that's part of the deer family, she looks doe-eyed enough in her innocent confusion to make it seem like she might. His yes has her stomach fluttering and causes a smile that threatens to be too large to allow her to speak. Glancing down, Tobi tries to give it honest thought, but his sleepy blush eyes and boyish smile have made her irrevocably tongue-tied. "Lots of reasons, I suppose. And also..none? I just...wanted to." She pauses, blushing. "Want to." The correction is quickly made, because the desire is still very much present tense.
If it was anyone else, that would be that. She'd just wriggle up and kiss him. But this wasn't anyone else. This was Finn, killer of anatomical skeletons and saver of beverages and silly doctors. "I do, but...only if you want me to." Looking up at him and trying to convey as wordlessly as was possible (what a great strategy with someone like Finn), that whatever he said would be okay.
