Laura blushed rapidly. "Uh, um, I, uh…" she stammered. Finally, she found a meek voice, "It's not that good…"

"It's amazing." He looked up at her, slightly awed.

"It's just a dumb poem about a tree," she mumbled, scuffing the ground with her shoe.

"Correction, it's a great poem about a tree."

She looked at him skeptically. "Really? You're not just saying that?"

"I'm a very blunt person. I'm also fairly horrible at lying."

She smiled wryly. "Noted."

"Y'know, you could probably turn something like this into music." He mused to himself.

"Yeah? Who would listen to it?" she questioned.

"Anyone who listens to my shit, so like, my friends, family, and any fans my..uh…youtube channel has." Nicky looked away, scratching the back of his neck. "With good lyrics, original ones, even more people would hear about it. You could have a shit ton of fans."

She quickly shook her head. "I don't think that would work so well…"

"Oh? I-it was just an idea, you're not obligated to do anything."

"It's just… Nothing. Nevermind. Uh, sorry." Dammit, Laura.

Nicky turned so that he was sitting facing her, leaning one shoulder against the back of the bench. "You can…talk to me, y'know."

She looked over at him. "Uh, okay…" Her hair fell across her face and cast faint shadows on her nose.

"So what is it? That's bugging you, I mean."

She shrugged, trying to act like it was no big deal. "I tried it before. Didn't turn out so well."

"What…happened?"

"Nothing. It doesn't matter," she replied, looking away from him again.

Nicky sighed, tugging a hand through his hair. "Alright then…"

DAMMIT Laura! You made him uncomfortable. "Sorry," she muttered.

"For what?" He was confused now, looking up at her with an eyebrow raised.

She looked over at him and was a bit shocked when she saw he was looking over at her. "Y-You're not upset or anything? I don't know…"

"Why would I…no I'm not upset. I mean it would be nice if you'd, y'know, tell me what's bugging you, but we did just meet, so…"

She coughed quietly. "Yeah…"
