His heart skips a beat at the sight of your rosy cheeks, and he can't resist leaning in closer to brush his lips against them. "You're welcome," he whispers before pulling back with a small smile playing on his lips. He continues helping you load your equipment, making sure everything is secure and in place. Once it's all taken care of, he steps back, eyes locked on yours. "Well then... what do you say we get some dinner?"

His heart races as he returns your eye smile, his gaze trailing down to your lips before snapping back up to meet yours again. "I was thinking more along the lines of dinner with me," he clarifies huskily, taking a step closer. "Unless you'd rather not?" His words are laced with uncertainty, hoping against hope that she wants nothing more than to spend time alone with him.

He shrugs lightly, hoping that she'll say yes to at least one of those options. He finds himself quite intrigued by her and would love to get to know her better.

He blushes slightly at the feel of her touch and the mention of him being cute. As she walks away, he can't help but wonder what she meant by "small-time dates." Perhaps he should just leave it at that for now and focus on their upcoming concerts? Or maybe there was a chance to make her change her mind...
