Molly waited to hear a reply to her question, feel anxious the longer the silence went on. Oh…oh no…she…she offended or upset him somehow, didn’t she?
She started to bite on her lip, but stopped that nervous habit as she heard him speak. Molly had to lean a bit to hear what he was saying, as he ended up muttering it seemed. Date. Now that was one word a girl didn’t misunderstand, not even Molly. The red head’s eyes went wide and her lips parted in a surprise expression as just stopped walking, standing there in a stunned silence. “…You…you want to go on a date with me?” Molly pointed at herself, as if she couldn’t believe this, because she really couldn’t.
“…Oh Bix…” She uttered after a moment. “…You could do so much better than me.” She smiled then, though it seemed a bit strained.

"What?" Of all things she could say. That was the last. His face flushed red both from frustration and also her unintended lofty view of him as a person. "What?!"
The albino was taken aback slightly and almost mad. The Insanity was clearly giving him a short fuse, exacerbating old personality problems he'd thought he'd gotten over. He fought it, in his mind, trying to fight what he knew wasn't really him.
"Like who?" She'd stopped and it took him a moment to also turn and face her. "You're sweet and.. " His lips pressed in a hard line as he battled to collect something smooth or impressive to say. His eyes darted over her face as he attempted to collect the right words. ".. not crazy like some of these girls and..." more thinking "And I think we have some things in common that maybe the others don't understand?"
He rubbed his face and stepped away. He felt embarassed again. She clearly said that because she wasn't interested. It was her way of not hurting his feelings and turning him down.
You really think sssshe plotsss like that? I don't think she'ssss very bright. Mina snickered and Bix lost control.
"SHUT UP!" He hadn't yelled or talked out loud to his weapon since the first week he'd had her. He actually stomped his foot and yelled up at the sky like she was there. Immediately his gaze darted to Molly. "Not you! Not you! It's .. her.. Mina..GAAAAH. Forget it. It's.. ruined."
Bix rubbed his face and looked very upset and frustrated, mostly with himself. "Sorry. Nevermind. I shouldn't have.. I'm like.. too good of your friend or whatever." Bix turned again, intending on heading back.

Molly tensed up immediately as Bix seemed exasperated and upset again. Her shoulders hunched as she seemed to try and curl into herself, her lips immediately pulling into a deep and worried frown. Oh no. She upset him. She messed it up. Whatever ‘it’ was. Gosh, she was such a klutz…
Her face felt hot as he called her sweet and listed off some reasons. She had just…never really had the time for guys and dating before Deus, and no one as nice or as kind as Bix had ever expressed interest in her that wasn’t uh…greasy for a lack of better words. Molly felt like a fish out of water at the moment, and she had meant for her words to be a compliment, but apparently they only bothered him. Oh dear. She bit her lip, and shifted on her feet anxiously, and flinched as he yelled. She hadn’t said anything yet, so it made sense it was his partner, but still, it was almost like it was directed at her in a way.
Molly bit her lip harder, feeling queasy, anxious, and nervous all at the same time. “…Bi…Bix, wait…please…” She called out softly, bring a finger up to bite on it for a moment as she looked down at her boots. “…I…I’m really, really sorry. It was never my intention to upset you…it’s just…well…” She laughed nervously. “…I just…I just never had someone nice and kind and…so thoughtful and understanding…like me like that before I…” She had no idea what to say right now.

Bix was trying to breathe. He was trying to calm down because his common sense told him it was pretty bad form to be yelling at a girl while at the same time asking her out. When she asked him to wait he turned again, eyes on the ground as he collected himself.
"Well I think I like you like that. I know Deus isn't really an ideal dating situation and at any moment any of us could.. well anything could happen." He shrugged. "Don't try to figure out why I like you okay? That's for me to worry about it. If you just want to be friends, that's okay. I am to make you my girlfriend right this second or anything. But I thought maybe, when we got some free time, maybe we could try a date or something. Anything." He scratched his head and it seemed like, for the moment, he'd calmed down. "Cause if I wanted too long to tell you maybe some other guy would move in or.. you'd only think of me as your friend and that would suck."

Don’t try to figure out why I like you okay?
Guilty.
She had been trying to figure it out. Bix may have called some of the girls crazy, but Molly thought a lot of them were amazing. Like Miss Candace, Miss Clarice, Miss Clerise…she wanted to be like all of them a lot. They were all so confident…so sure. Molly’s face just turned red as she listened to him, still feeling rather overwhelmed. Molly shifted her weight back and forth anxiously again, and reached up to tug on a curl tightly.
Relax. She told herself, take deep breaths. It was okay. She thought. It was all okay. Molly nodded her head, but Bix wasn’t looking at her. “…I…I’d like that.” She uttered after a moment. Oh wait…she’d like what? That was a pretty vague statement. She was probably giving him the wrong impression. “…The trying! Um…a d-date sometime or something…that…I…I’d like that.”

"Really?" Bix shouldn't have even been surprised. He'd hung out with her alone before. It hadn't been a big deal then, had it? Okay yeah maybe it had been the highlight of his week-slash-entire time at Deus.
"Well cool then. That sounds great. Thanks.." Thanks? "I'll try to think of something good." He felt like he needed to impress her somehow.
Then suddenly it was all out of the way and he was grinning like an idiot but ... that was it. He was standing there just grinning and not saying anything.
"This... isn't weird now is it?"

“Um…Really!” Molly assured now, nodding her head again. “…Um…thank you, too! I think…” She scratched her cheek, and then laughed. Geeze. She’d been feeling so nervous earlier, and now a lot of the tension went away. She felt like she could breathe again. “I think it will be good, no matter what!” Because she had really enjoyed the last time they hung out.
The Misty stood there in silence, smiling, and at his question, tilted her head. She stared up at the sky was she thought about it. “…Mmmmm nope!” She finally announced. “What’s weird, Bix, is showering for the first time with an entity in your head.” Oops. Was that TMI? Maybe. Molly just kept on smiling without skipping a beat, and started to walk once more, since she was further behind than Bix.

He looked almost confused for a moment as her topic jumped away. She was fine. He was fine. They weren't silent or awkward. Bix walked as well when she joined his side. They were almost back anyway.
"What's weird is when your weapon is a girl and you aren't. And she sounds like a phone sex operator in your head!"
