She didn't think he was an asshole.

"I..." Hm. She's not as red as Cassidy, but she's blushing a little. How does she respond to that? Did he mean that because he wouldn't want to say no because they were friends or because something else? She was just confusing herself. "Thanks. Yeah."

"I've never actually gone to one of these things before." Willingly at least, she's been dragged to one or two by Cassandra, but never with a date of her choice to accompany her.

Hopefully, Cassidy wouldn't change is his mind? There were lots of other girls he could go with, she was sure. Definitely others that weren't as unfeminine as her. She was worried about those details, even if she never said it.

"I went last year to homecoming. Clint said I could go on my own or he would drag me and make me dance with every girl in my grade."

"This one is casual at least... so at least you don't have to go out and buy a dress? Shit, I mean you can if you want!"

"I'm not sure if I should be surprised." She didn't really know Clint that well, but from what she'd seen that seemed fitting to his character.

Her eyes widened at the declaration, leaning back a bit as if the words had actually pushed her. "..." Well Cassidy wasn't the only one looking away now. Aerika sighed listlessly as her shoulders slumped in defeat. "I don't really have any dresses. Cassandra's shoved me into some of her clothes when she drags me out somewhere. They're better fit for petite girls like her though so I end up looking ridiculous."

She shrugs. "It's why I figured Sadies would be easier."

"I guess. I mean if you want... " no nevermind. He wasn't going to ask Aerika out to the mall. She'd definitely turn me down. "Nevermind"

[autonuked]

She titled her head slightly. "No-tell me-what's up?"

[fallingoutboy]

"We could go to the mall or something before. I wouldn't mind." Cassidy shrugs.

To be completely honest Cassidy does enjoy clothes shopping. A lot more than he was willing to admit. He just wasn't a fan of malls themselves, too many people, too stressful of an atmosphere. Honestly most of his shopping was all done online.

Was he asking... her out in return? That was, unexpected, to say the least. Aerika made a few unintelligible noises before speaking clearly. "I'd."

Would he really want to hang out with her at a mall though? She didn't do crowds well, or the rush of people entering and exiting, she should probably just tell him. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. "I wouldn't mind going with you either. I don't know how long I'd be able to. It's kinda-" She raises her shoulder, making a strained expression. "-Crowded."

[fallingoutboy]

Cassidy sighs with relief. One of his lil crooked smiles on his face. "Thank god. I order everything online. I hate malls."

[autonuked]

"They're a bit much for me." She admits with much less hesitation. Relaxing noticeably now.

"I can manage going with someone if it's not going to be too long, but usually I just don't go." Most of her clothes were for function, so she could just ask her parents to get new ones as needed. She didn't have to go with every time, and admittedly sports utility stores were far less populated when she was required to.

"Thanks though. For offering to put up with something you hate for me." Aerika adds with an endearing smile.
