Billy sat down and tried not to look too disappointed about her saying she wasn't going to hold his head in her lap like that again, even if he had just been joking. Then he checked himself, remembering that all she had done was agree to go on a date with him. He should probably just get through that first.
"Oh good, because the head punching was definitely my least favorite thing about that night," he said, sitting down next to her on the couch. He was suddenly really aware of how close she was and he was sure he could feel a sort of warmth moving through him from the side she was on. It sounded dumb and Billy felt stupid for thinking it but it was a nice feeling. "If you go again I can be the person in your corner that squirts water into your mouth and rubs your shoulders between rounds though? And I can say 'you got 'em on the ropes, kid!' if that would help?"
