WR couldn't help but stop the car, in the middle of the road, to cup their hands over their face. They were smiling underneath, and their skin was was red as FUCK. This wasn't anything new for them, in fact it was something that was growing progressively more normal, but with the context, and how Gidget worded literally EVERYTHING, they needed to hide it.
After a few moments, they shook their head, grinning, and dropped their arms back over the steering wheel.
They turned to her and raised a brow.
"I have a penis, Gidget. I'm a guy."

"Oh."
Gidget glanced back at them for a moment, turning a few shades brighter at the ease with which they told her. She had kind of expected them to, quite literally, let it be a surprise.
"Kay. Cool. Penis. And I have... a, um... Not penis. Obviously. But I have literally no idea what to do with either. So there's that." She nodded once, as if this was some sort of sage comment. "So... Yeah. Got it. Cool. Good game."
She started rubbing her face furiously, as if that would somehow erase the blush.

WR just stared at her, their grin growing and their blush glowing to match hers. It almost seemed like a competition, at this point. Which bean would transform into a tomato first?
They shook their head, chuckling lightly, and resuming their foot on the gas while they contemplated how to respond to the genuine awkwardness that was this relationship.
After a few moments of silence, they turned back to her and grinned.
"I'll teach you when you're ready."

Gidget glanced from the window to WR, and back again. At least they weren't like Drake, going out of his way just to make her awkward-virgin-ness even worse. She continued to wipe at her face.
"....promise?" she murmured at last, softly.

"Promise."
They smiled, reaching a hand to grab hold of hers and lace their fingers together.
"So uh, guess neither of us were expecting this today, huh?"

Gidget laced her fingers with theirs without even a moment of hesitation.
"No. But... is good." She finally turned to look at WR again, her cheeks still a brilliant red. "This entire thing... is good."

WR looked over to her with a grin.
"You know, I stressed the fuck out before I came over, and it turned out more than perfectly. Crazy to think just how much someone can impact your life."

"Why would you stress out?" Gidget asked, trying to hide a chuckle. She couldn't say much: she had freaked out herself, pacing back and forth so much that she was surprised there wasn't a rut in her floor... but the thought of WR worrying about it was strange to her.

"This is all new to me, too," They shrugged.
"So used to shutting everything out that I sometimes dunno what's acceptable to say to people. Not that I usually care. You're kinda the exception to that."

Gidget contemplated that for a moment, staring out the window of the car. She understood the sentiment... Typically, she went out of her way TO say the unacceptable stuff, just so people would leave her alone.
"You don't have to worry about it so much with me, though. Like, I don't expect us to always be totally on the same page, and I'm sure we're gonna piss each other off and shit sometimes. That's just kind of both of our personalities." She turned to WR with a smirk, winking at them before turning her gaze outwards once more. "But I think... I think life is kind of ABOUT that, you know? If everybody's gonna piss you off or hurt you at some point, you gotta find the ones worth sticking around for. Like you."

WR lightly squeezed Gidget's hand as she spoke, thoughtfully considering her words. She was right, and they were happy to hear they were somewhat on the same page with it.
They nodded.
"Yeah, that's something I gotta work on. I trust the hell out of you, myself... not so much. That's not gonna change overnight, though, so we'll see what happens, yeah? Least we can agree that both of us are assholes."
They chuckled, gazing over at her while they rubbed her finger joints.

"What are you so... afraid of? That you're going to chase me away, or something?"
Gidget seemed to relax the more WR touched her, and the feel of their finger playing with her hands calmed her. It was such a nice, simple sensation, but it was probably one of her favorite things about holding their hand.

"More like chasing myself away," They shrugged.
"I'm confident, don't get me wrong, sometimes too much for my own good. But... I'm also insecure as fuck about a lot of things, it pains me to admit that but it's true, and it's something you're probably gonna see a lot."
They said with a shake of their head.
"But, growing is kinda what relationships are for, yeah?"

Gidget nodded, trying to decipher exactly what they said. Chasing themself away? How would that even work?
"Alright. So, tough question time. What are you the most insecure about?" She grinned, leaning back in her seat and simply enjoying the feeling of WR holding her hand.

"Oh fuck, you really are all or nothing, huh?"
They shook their head, grinning slightly. Evidently she was never going to make anything easy for them. Was that what being in love was like?
"Right, okay. I mean, the gender thing was kinda it. Name too. I guess, my art maybe? I dunno. There's a lot but it's tough to pinpoint what's on top."
They shrugged.
"What you got rattling around in that dome of yours?"
