Summary
Carmy ran warm. She saw him strip himself of his woolen jacket and brave Midwestern cold with bare arms and miraculously be without any goosebumps more times than she could count. He surely didn’t need the fuzzy packets of warmth, but he had them. Undoubtedly, he had them for her. Sydney would complain about her constant cold fingers and dry knuckles often, she shouldn’t have been surprised Carmy wasn’t just listening but cataloging the facts about her into some place in his brain. And yet—
It made her ache, to be thought of like that.
Or, when Carmy and Sydney finally start dating, everyone knows. Everyone, that is, except for Sydney.

°“Are you cold? It’s July.” She’s partially worried he’s having a panic attack. Sydney’s certain she’s not equipped to handle that, thinks she’d be able to keep calm, take it step by step, but can’t imagine what the first step would be. Just being there, maybe.
Carny shakes his head and she’s particularly put off because the crease between his eyebrows that so often takes up the majority of her gaze isn’t there at all. “No.”
“Then why are you shaking?”
“I think I’m happy,” He smiles, with teeth.

Summary
“Happy birthday,” he whispered as he leaned into her, his hand pushing her closer towards him.
Sydney gulped as she felt the warmth of his breath against her ear, his voice low and unreasonably soft. “I think you, uh…I think you said that already.”
“I did?”
“Uh-huh.” It was all she could say for now, her heart beating at a million beats per miniute.
Carmy took a moment to ponder before speaking again. “I guess I did then, huh?”

OR: Carmy surprises Sydney with a small party at his apartment to celebrate her birthday. But when friends and family begin to leave, he gives her a special gift.
