"Do it. I dare you." He keeps smirking at her, watching her face.

Renata glares, but it wasn't an angry glare; it was more of an "Ugh, stop challenging me" sort of glare before she leans down and kisses Dustin.

Dustin pauses for a moment, slightly shocked. He hadn’t expected Ren to actually kiss him. He kisses her back slightly.

Renata chuckles and after a couple more seconds pulls back, looking at Dustin.

"Dork." she mutters.

He laughs, grinning at her, “Says the woman pinning me down.”

Renata rolls her eyes- again.

"You're the one who's into being pinned down, not me." she counters with a grin of her own.

“And I don’t mind it.” He grins at her, “So what’s your point?”

Renata raises an eyebrow. "You're a dork. And very strange. But I'm fine with that."

“Ok.” He smiles at her.

Renata pauses then laughs slightly. "'Okay?' No witty comeback, nothing?"

“There’s nothing to come back with, sweetheart, you’ve stated the pure, 100% truth.”

"It's unlike you to not have an opinion, though." Renata chuckles. "At least, about things I say."

Dustin think for a moment, “Okay, you forgot to say ‘absolutely handsome and dashing as well as wonderfully smart and amazing’.”

Renata is tacken aback before she starts laughing, hard. She flops to the side, letting go of Dustin and just laughing.

He keeps grinning, laughing softly.

Every time Renata seems close to cooling down, she looks at Dustin and starts laughing harder than before. It takes her a solid ten minutes to - barely - be able to hold a straight face.

"You're right, I did." she says, a giggle then sending her back to holding her stomach and crying laughing.

Dustin watches, still smiling.

Renata - after another few minutes of laughter - finally collects herself again and looks at Dustin, wiping away the tears, her face easily visible as red even in the dark room.

"I'm- so sorry-" she says after a deep breath and a couple more giggles.

"It's fine." He keeps grinning at her.

Renata giggles again. "You sure?"

He nods.

Renata tilts her head and reaches out a hand, letting it rest on the side of Dustin's face.

"You're right, though." she murmurs.

He blinks, “About what?”

"About your looks. Very pretty." Renata replies. "Though the 'smart' part is debatable."

Dustin huffs, “I am too!” He grumbles, closing his eyes, “I can be smart. . .”
