"It's not your fault. So, I forgive you," Toka snickered.
She grabbed his paw. "Let's go the rest of the way without
pulling a Tiger."
*~*~*~*
"You act like no relationship is awkward at first. Most are. You
just need to learn to be around one another again. Like... What did
you guys do back when you dated regularly?" Mira asked.
Kibo nodded and smiled at Toka. He laughed in gentle amusement and
held Toka's paw. "I'll be sure to not pull a Tiger then." He
said gently and kissed Toka on the cheek.
Toka blushed and smiled at Kibo. "Love you." She muttered,
flicking him with her tail happily.
*~*~*~*
"Then do that. Stick to that sort of relationship that was more
like a glorified friendship. Don't try to talk about feelings too
much or even really kiss; just get things back to THAT." Mira shook
her head.
“I should really get back, then, huh...?” Drew sighed. “Yeah,
you’re right. Thank you.” She snifffed. It was just confusing for
her, as she crutched back down.
"Oh alright...how?" Rose asked as her mind started to catch
up with her.
"You know you never really did say why you and Ro got together. I
mean I know Ro for one is into girls and not guys so it was odd for
her to say yes when you asked her." Jamie mused as he watched
Robert find a piece of wood in his backpack and started to make
something out of it.
"It was convenient. She had just dumped her girlfriend for same
reason I did and we wanted to mask the hurt from doing so." Robert
answered.
Cyndaquil shrugged, "I don't know she's just in a hyper
mood." He said in an amused tone and blinked before sitting
down. "How'd you sleep?" He asked gently.
"Arceus, I'm such a mess." Drew mutterd, starting out the window as
she balanced on her crutches. "I mean, we're going back today,
right? I honestly can't wait to feel my own bed." she shighed.
"Didn't Robert put you two in the living room?" Cyndaquil
asked with a laugh, and smiled at Rose. He overheard Drew and
frowned as he was reminded that everyone was going home soon.
"He did but papa sleepwalks if there had been a big fight or
something worrying happen during the day. Papa ended up picking me
up and taking us under the dining table in his sleep." Rose
mused before frowning as she overheard Drew as well.
"Yeah." Rose quietly replied while looking down at her
paws.
"Should I tell them of our plan or make them dwell a little
longer." Jamie whispered to Robert as he noticed Rose look sad and
took a gamble at what they were talking about.
"Tell them before Rose starts to cry." Robert mused.
Cyndaquil blinked and smiled weakly before patting Rose on the back
gently. "Hey it'll be alright. We'll see each other again."
He said gently. "And I'll call you every day." He promised
gently.
