[Yes, taking the box now, and opening it too. Chocolates... Really good looking ones, too, like the ones that he'd sometimes get while he was still in the manor, back then... Luke almost reaches inside with the intent to eat them already, but he's snapped out of it once Xion speaks again.
Wasn't there some other reason he wanted to give those to her? Besides what he's thinking now? ... No way, how could he think of anything else?
But... What should he say? All this time, he's kept his feelings tightly under lock and key with the fear of ruining their friendship, this remarkable thing that they have... For fear of scaring Xion away, fear of getting himself into something that might hurt him.
Not to mention Guy had said not to rush things, and it honestly wasn't that long ago that he helped him figure out just what he was feeling. A crush? No, Luke has the feeling that this is much more than those silly feelings he'd get around one of the maids sometimes, those feelings that'd make him fidget and blush when Tear would look at him for too long.
He takes in a deep breath:]
I... I wanted to make you happy. [Yes, there's that, but come on Luke:] And you... like flowers, right? [... Yes, there's that, but come on Luke:] So...
[... Come on, Luke.]
Um, what do you... think it means? I-It might be that.
