Watching the stars

"... M-Moon... I-I..." he said, then shut his mouth. Iccy had no idea what to say at this moment either. Ruined because of his awkward heart.

Iccy smiled weakly, giving Moon a hug. "T-Thank you... I-It just wouldn't be fair to you r-right now." he said, nodding.

Iccy frowned at that. "W-Why would I l-laugh at you? T-That's just cruel." he said, hugging Moon a little tighter.

Iccy blinked and inwardly scolded himself. "I-I'm sorry..." he said, sighing softly.

Iccy nodded. "I-I wouldn't want you t-to get sick... Let's head b-back into t-town." He said, nodding. he smiled weakly. "S-See you around Ponyville?" He asked, picking up his basket.

Iccy smiled warmly, nodding. "I-I promise, I-If nothing else, We're f-friends." He promised, nodding. "You d-deserve t-the best Colt in t-the world, a-and... I-I'm not that yet." he finished, sighing.

Moon Whistle swung the bag over to her back and her ears flopped.
Friend-zoned..., she thought, but said nothing about it out loud. I guess it is still better than nothing.
She turned to look at him, and said, her voice a mere whisper, "You could be the best for me. I don't want anypony else."

[This came out a bit more dramatic than intented.]

Iccy paused, stopping. "... L-Let's go on a c-couple dates as f-friends. M-My treat. T-Then, m-maybe... Let's s-see things go f-from there." he relented, something twisting in the pit of his gut.

Iccy nodded, smiling. "T-That sounds lovely! A G-Gaming night i-it is." Iccy said. He hummed, Looking Toward the sky, before sighing. "... S-Sorry again for tonight..." He apologized, keeping his eyes in the sky.

Iccy nodded, smiling. "I-I can understand that. I-I'm a little e-excited for this, honestly." He said, nodding. "I-It'd be fun to play game."

Iccy thought about his other friends... then cringed. rather noticeably. "... H-How about some of y-your friends? M-Mine... W-Well, T-They are p-pretty much what gives P-Ponyille it's reputation as c-crazy." He admitted, blushing out of embarassment.

Iccy smiled back. "T-That makes two of us... A-And, Well, O-of my friends, I-I've got t-the drunk, t-the mad scientist, a-and the no-n-nonsense Newspaper editor." he listed off, humming. "A-And, w-well, meetings between us e-end rather badly." he added, nodding.

Iccy shrugged, smiling. "I-I'm up for e-either. J-Just as long as I can play with you, e-eh?" he said, smiling, shivering a bit. "B-Brr, It's cold..."
