After taking a brief moment to rest and recover his stamina atop Goldie's leg, Blake continued his trek up the dark-skinned giantess's titanic body. In about a minute's time, the tiny mage climbed past her skirt and reached her waist. Another sloshing rumble from Goldie's exposed belly nearly caused Blake to lose his footing, with how startlingly loud that gurgle was. Not that she was paying much attention to her stomach since her earbuds were in...
"C'mon, Blake..." the shrunken young man muttered to himself. "You can't give up now. This is all to win Goldie's heart!"
Blake was finally ready to continue his journey toward Goldie's face. Thankfully for the mage, the cheerleader was leaning one arm down, allowing him to climb onto her hand and up that very arm. He HAD considered scaling her torso and chest, but ultimately decided against that method (to avoid being viewed as a creepy pervert, of course). Courtesy of his gift of toughness from the spirits, it wasn't long before Blake made it onto his crush's shoulder. Now was his chance!
"GOLDIE!"
No response. Her music did sound rather loud, after all.
"Goldie, over here!!" Blake screamed again. "On your shoulder! Look to your left!"
"Hm?" At last, Goldie heard something. Pausing her tune and removing her earbuds, Goldie peeked at her left shoulder and was initially shocked at what she spotted.
"Ew, a bug!!"
Blake's heart almost stopped. She hadn't recognized him! He was at least lucky enough to dodge his unaware crush's swatting hand by leaping onto her bed. Waving his arms, Blake tried yelling once more. "Goldie, I'm not a bug! It's me, Blake!"
Goldie's disgusted expression softened upon processing the tiny's words. "Wait...Blake, is that really you?"
Blake nodded before being scooped up into his love interest's hands and towards her face.
"I'm so sorry, Blake!" Goldie apologized, blushing a bit. "I thought you were a fly and, well..."
"Don't worry about it..." Blake rubbed the back of his head shyly.
"Anyway, how did you get in my dorm room?"
It was Blake's turn to blush now. "Well, I kinda made a pact with some ghosts to shrink myself and become tougher..."
This was it. Blake Heart was about to confess his feelings for Goldie Coine - he couldn't afford to foul this up now!
