Tim made a noise. He didnt know what the noise was or how it came out of his mouth, but he made it. He bit his lip too, looking down at his feet and back up at her. He shrugged. He didnt want to hurt her feelings. He didnt want to hurt anything. If anything at all, he wanted to _stop_ hurting and be normal. So, he said the most normal thing he thought he could say.

"Ah...um... y-yes? Okay, uh, sure. That um... yeah, okay."

His eyes were wide, panicked, a twinge of fear coating them, but he spoke as calmly as he could, trying not to worry anyone.

"Okay...yes, hugs."
