"Uh, hey? Can we talk?"(O/O) (OPEN)

Kallie smiled shyly. "Thank you."

"Mhm," he started up the car, "Choose whatever radio station you want," he spoke.

"You can pick," she quickly said in response.

He turned the knob off the station that usually discussed politics, and science, seeming embarrassed about it, and settling on pop music.

"If you liked what you had it on, you can go back," she urged him kindly.

"It's okay." He dismissed in a flustered breath. Atlas's hands gripped the wheel. She could almost taste the nervousness radiating from him.

She leaned over and kissed his cheek quickly before sitting back in her own. "Don't be afraid to be yourself."

Atlas said nothing. He was too nervous too, felt too embarrassed by it.

"Don't be nervous," she urged. "Let's pretend like this isn't a date, okay?"

"Then…?" He prodded quietly.

"We're just friends going to the movies!" she said with a smile.

He laughed quietly. A small smile. "Okay."

She beamed and the sun illuminated the outline of the clouds.

"I snuck some reeses cups," He spoke to her with a growing smile.

She giggled. "I love Reese's!"

"Hah, good," he warmed up a little, glancing over at her. Lovely.

She kept her smile bright. "I'm so excited!"

Skip?)

(After the movie, yeah?)

Sure!)

Kallie skipped out of the theater to a stunning sunset. "Oh, Atlas, look!" She pointed excitedly.

Atlas lofted his eyes, "Hey… That's pretty cool," he agreed.

"That's beautiful," she moaned happily. "The perfect sunset…"

He laughed quietly, and shoved his hands into his pockets.

She glanced over at him. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing," he spoke candidly. "Never really had much of a passion for sunsets before..

"Here, I'll help. You gotta look at it like it's the last one you'll ever see."

"That's depressing," he teased with a smile.

"It just makes you appreciate it more." She blushed and the sky turned a vibrant red.

He gave her a lopsided, knowing smirk.
