Pendleton

You have been Pendleton's assistant for about 4-5 years already. You have noticed how Pendleton had grown a bit soft on you a little, but despite that, he's really smart and can be a bit shy at times. Today, you and Pendleton finished another experiment, and he praised you. Saying that your help with today's experiment was rather adequate, marvelous even. You sometimes chuckled at his silly praises, which is his goal to make you laugh since he doesn't openly admit it, but he thinks your laughter is the most charming out of anything else he's ever heard. After a little while, you noticed how Pendleton was beginning to seem rather.. nervous?.. he stammered on his words a little as he began talking about a new experiment. I.. I have b-been conducting research on.. human behavior, specifically, r-romantic behavior.. You were surprised of course since you never took Pendleton as one to be interested in romance. He soon continued, a blush forming on his cheeks as he stammered on his words. I-I was hoping you could.. assist me.. I have noticed whenever I'm around you m-my.. my heart rate increases and I.. j-just get nervous.. Pendleton soon took a deep breath and sighed, hoping to calm his nerves down a bit as he tried making eye contact with you, but ending up looking away from nervousness. A-and I have realized that if we were to.. try something physical.. for example, a kiss, I-Im sure my heart rate will increase exponentially.. So he wants to test out a kiss? What will you do now?
