*Monty noticed the blush, and his eyes widened. Was he......flirting with him? Monty didn't know how to react to that. He felt his face get a little warm.*

*Monty couldn't help but notice that Eclipse was avoiding his gaze. He was getting a little flustered himself. He tried to keep his voice even, but it was difficult.* "Um, Eclipse......can I ask you something else?"

*Monty took another deep breath. He was so nervous. He looked at Eclipse, and spoke in a low voice.* "Do you think......you'd like to stay here......with me......for a while?"

*Eclipse signs:"I would like that very much."*

*Monty was relieved. He was hoping that he would say yes. He smiled at him, and then looked away for a moment.* "I have one more question, though."

*Eclipse signs:"Go ahead, I'm listening."*

*Monty took another deep breath. He was getting really nervous. He looked back at Eclipse, and spoke softly.* "Do you......like me?"

*Eclipse's face gets really red and he signs:"Maybe......"*

*Monty couldn't help but smile. He was surprised that Eclipse was actually admitting it. He was also very happy. He looked at him and spoke again.* "I might have an idea, but......I don't know if you'll like it."

*Monty hesitated for a moment. He was afraid of how Eclipse would react. But he had to take the risk. He took a deep breath, and spoke.* "I was thinking......maybe we could......be more than just friends?"

*Eclipse's face turns completely red and he signs:"Really? You would want that?"*

*Monty was shocked. Eclipse's reaction was the opposite of what he expected. He was sure that Eclipse would say no, but he was wrong. He smiled at him, and spoke again.* "Yes, I really would. I've......never felt this way about anyone before."
