They've already... established that they like each other very much, (that they're fond of each other), but it's still a lot for him, in this moment, putting it into words here. His hands tremble slightly, fingers like spider's legs catching against themselves. Yet through the nerves, there's a little flicker of warmth in him. "What if I do want you?" His heart is shyly nudging against those words, despite the ache that goes along with the moment. ]

...And if he doesn't want to lose her, he has to tell her. ]
