Tw: Sensory overstimulation, anxiety

Marcy couldn't recall a time they had been more excited. Today was their first date with Anne! They hadn't been able to go on once since coming back from Amphibia. 

The couple planned to go to a park, get ice cream and go see a movie. Although Marcy knew they didn't have to dress up too much, they eventually settled on a green and blue plaid patterned flannel shirt, loose jeans, and a pair of sneakers. 

They checked the time, and saw they had about 15 minuts until Anne would come by to pick them up. Marcy sat on the couch, waiting anxiously, and bolted up the moment they heard a knock on the door.

When they opened it, not a single coherent thought was formed in their head. Anne was wearing a skirt, and a yellow t-shirt with a floral pattern. She stood there smiling at her partner, and waited for them to regain their thought process. 

"Ready to go Mar-Mar?" Anne asked, holding her hand out for Marcy to take.

"Y-yeah," Marcy stammered, still trying to think properly, "you look, really pretty." They said, smiling at Anne.

Anne blushed and rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly, "I just kinda threw it together 'cus I couldn't think of anything to wear." 

Marcy just stood there another moment, before taking her hand. Anne started walking in the direction that the park was in, while Marcy was  tailing her, a love-struck look in their eyes.

Once they got to the park, Marcy spotted the ice cream parlor, and grinned excitedly. Anne smiled, and walked over to it, Marcy following. Once they reached the door, Anne opened it, making a dramatic bowing gesture. "After you, your grace." 

Marcy giggled, "Why thank you, your majesty."

Anne smiled, and the two of them joined the line. "Alright Marbles, what flavor do ya want?" she asked, already knowing their answer.

"Mint chocolate chip!" they answered happily, flapping their free hand back and forth, while the other was still holding Annes. 

"Alrighty then!"

Once they got to the register, Anne placed their orders. Mint chocolate chip for Marcy, and cookies and cream for herself. After she paid and got their ice cream, they walked back outside, and found a bench. They sat down and ate their ice cream. 

After they finished, Anne wiped her face, "Hey Mars, you got a little somethin' on your face." she said, pointing to her cheek

"Here?" Marcy asked, rubbing the opposite one.

"Hold on, let me just-" Anne grabbed a napkin, and wiped her face. "There you go! All clean!" she smiled.

Marcy blushed, "T-thanks!"

"No problem! Ready to go see that movie?"

"Heck yeah I am!"

As they walked to the movie theater, Marcy rambled about her video game, while Anne listened attentively, while smiling. 

"And one of the hardest bosses of the game-" Marcy stopped talking suddenly, "Sorry, I'm rambling again aren't I, I'll stop, it's probably getting annoying." They smiled nervously, when they saw Anne tilt her head and frown.

"It's not annoying! I like listening to you talk about your interests! I think it's cute!" Anne smiled, "Whoever said it's annoying is stupid."

Marcy blushed, then smiled, "Okay, I'm glad, I don't want to annoy you."

"You could never." Anne said reassuringly.

Once they arrived at the theater, they bought tickets and popcorn, and went to find their seats.

Once the movie started, Anne was really into it. Marcy, on the other hand, became painfully aware of how loud it was, how many people were there, and how suddenly loud noises occurred. They were fighting every urge to run out of there, to find somewhere quiet. 

Anne noticed how tense Marcy seemed, and gently grabbed their hand, before they held it firmly. As Anne leaned closer to whisper, she noticed tears in their eyes, and how they had their head down. 

"Hey, hey hey Marcy, come on let's go outside m'kay?" Anne whispered, concerned for her partner.

Marcy nodded meekly, and followed as Anne lead them out of the theater, back outside. 

"Hey, Mar-Mar, you alright?" Anne spoke softly, so as to not startle them.

Marcy started crying, and balled their fists tightly, "I-I'm sorry, I always mess things up I didn't mean to ruin it, I-"

They were cut off by Anne hugging them tightly, "You don't ruin anything, okay? I saw you seemed uncomfortable and I didn't want you to have to stay there if you didn't like it. You didn't ruin anything, I promise." 

Marcy sniffled, "O-Okay, can we go to your place?"

"Of course we can"

Once they arrived at Annes house, they went up to her room. "So, whatcha wanna do?" she asked.

"Can we cuddle?" Marcy asked.

"Of course, c'mere." Anne said, smiling. She held her arms open, inviting Marcy into them, to which they happily obliged.

They rested their head in Annes chest, with their arms around her waist, while Anne had one arm on their back, rubbing it gently, and the other running through their hair. She noticed Marcy had started to get drowsy, and smiled lovingly, "Hey Marcy?"

"Hm?" they hummed sleepily.

"I love you."

Marcy grinned, and hugged her tighter, "I love you too."
