[It takes a considerable amount of Wash's self-control to keep his poker face firmly in place and prevent him from laughing. He's here for Dipper, and that's priority number one; that said, he will treasure this memory forever.]
[So instead he just takes a seat next to Dipper and cracks his soda open.]
Dipper, you're fourteen, and this is your - [might as well give him credit] what, second? - relationship. You're talking like you're fifty years old and delivering an Oscar-nominated monologue. It's a good metaphor, but you really need to chill.
And maybe lay off the metaphors for a while. Pidge isn't the sunset, or your moon and stars, or the wind in the fields, or whatever other nature imagery you like - she's a person. The sooner you start thinking of her like that - as a person, just like you - the easier this will be. It's not as magical as the whole sunset thing, but it's a little more stable, and stability lasts longer than magic.
