[i]Oliver shuffled up still, finally deciding on doing something: his right arm would begin to reach around, almost as if bringing Sarah a little closer. He seemed more comfortable, now.[/i]

-
She would scoot closer. "Thanks for the blanket, Oliver," Sarah told him.
-
"My pleasure," [i]Oliver would simply respond, blushing a little in his simple, yet approvingly neat manner. He would rest his head back, adjusting his being so that Sarah could come a little closer.[/i] "I.. I know, this is selfish. With everything that's been going on, but.. Well, I think it's obvious about how I feel about you."
-
"Yes, it's been too obvious," she agreed. She snuggled closer, her soft bronze locks of hair brushing against him.
-
"Not exactly the best at these sorts of things, I know." [i]Oliver still maintained a light grin, silvery hair meeting Sarah's curls. He nodded, smiling still.[/i] "But maybe we could.. you know, try something like this?"
-
"Not yet... but... I do entertain the idea."
-
"So you're telling me that there's a chance." [i]Oliver laughed a little.[/i] "I'll try, then, as long as you're alright with it. You seem to be, of course."

-
"I'm not forcing you into a relationship. You know that.. right? That I wouldn't do that?"
-
"I..." She fell silent.
-
[i]Oliver would keep his silence, it seemed, yet his gaze would soon return to Sarah. He was waiting on her to continue what she intended to say.[/i]
-
She just stayed silent. She still didn't know what to say.
-
"Sarah.." [i]Oliver sighed a little, yet he would still continue to keep his arm wrapped around Sarah's body, bringing her a little closer yet. He too seemed to not know what to say - granted, he seemed more concerned with whatever she wished to say.[/i]
-
She sighed, "I feel pressured, Oliver."
-
"Don't. It's alright." [i]He would respond, as he would look away and give Sarah some time.[/i]
-
She seemed very silent.
-
[i]Oliver would go silent, then, simply resting his head against Sarah's shoulder as he closed his eyes, sighing a little. It was as if he wanted to say something, yet didn't exactly feel confident about it. At all.[/i]
-
"You alright?" She asked, concerned.
-
"I'm alright, yeah.. Not that I'm against it, but are you staying over for the night? It's pretty late. I'll take the couch if you are staying by, the bed's all yours."
-
"Alright."
-
[i]Oliver smiled, nodding at that. He had an idea.[/i] "I'll go ahead and get off," [i]He would say, as he would let go of Sarah and sit upon the other side of the couch, nodding towards her.[/i] "Sweet dreams, Sarah." [i]Oh, he was plotting. Not in a bad way, but.. he did have some Christmas ideas.[/i]
-
She gave him the blanket, tucking him in. Then she would retire to his bedroom.
-
[i]Roughly a few hours later, once he had checked that Sarah was asleep, Oliver snuck out of the apartment building.[/i] -------------------------------- [i]Sarah would wake up to the smell of breakfast. A rather good smell.[/i]
-
She smelled the breakfast. "Mmm~." She got at of the bed, wearing pajama pants, and a tank top. Her hair was slightly tangled, making it bounce, a bit. Her arm tightly wrapped around a chibi plushie of Agent North Dakota.
-
"Morning, sunny." [i]Oliver smiled over, out of his typical knightly garb and now contained within a soft white tunic, alongside a pair of fittingly cobalt blue shorts. He was working on bacon, while biscuits, sausage, toast, and hot chocolate had already been finished, set for Sarah if she wished to eat.[/i]
-
"Thank you," she told Oliver. She sat down, beginning to eat.
