Scar blushed and smiled as she watched the movie. "Of course you're cute and comfortable. Too bad
I'm too shy to tell you about the crush I have on you." She
whispered quietly to where Theo could barely hear her. She sighed
and continued to watch the movie, exhaustion from the late night
she had was beginning to effect her once more.
~•~•~
Max nodded and smiled. "Sure. I'll get a movie set up." He said
softly.
"Nothing." Scar said quietly and smiled at Theo. She looked at the
TV once more and watched the movie. She slowly closed her eyes as
she began to fall asleep.
~•~•~
Max blinked and nodded. "Okay De." He said quietly, he hadn't used
the nickname Lion and Scar gave Deirdre since before their
argument. He got up, kissed Deirdre's head and settled on the couch
once more.
It had gotten late and Theo's siblings were in their rooms while
Theo was still there on the couch. Soon enough everuone but Theo
was asleep -- their parents were on a work trip.

Deirdre frowned as she placed a cold washcloth on his ehad.
Scar shivered slightly and jolted awake, she had a few tears in her
eyes as she woke up. Her heart was racing and she looked around the
living room in confusion and fear.
~•~•~
Max grunted and mumbled slightly as the washcloth was placed on his
forehead.
"Just a nightmare." Scar whispered softly and looked at Theo in a
scared manner. Without warning she wrapped her arms around
Theo.
~•~•~
"Thanks." Max said quietly as he slightly regained some
consciousness. "I-if you want to sleep, you c-can take my room, or
the guest room." He said quietly as he wasn't strong enough to
leave the couch.
Scar shivered and buried her face in Theo's chest. "I-I got lost,
ans couldn't find my way home..." She choked out as getting lost
was her biggest fear. Theo knew this, as the first time they met,
she had gotten lost in their neighborhood.
~•~•~
Max nodded and gently let his hand slip off the couch and gently
landed on Deirdre's shoulder. "I love you." He whispered shyly.
Scar nodded and closed her eyes. "A-alright..." She trailed off
quietly. "U-um. Something happy right?" She trailed off quietly,
only one other thing could get her mind off the nightmare. Here
goes nothing. Hopefully he doesn't want to stop being friends.
She thought nervously. "What would you say if I told you I had a
crush on you for a while?" She asked sheepishly.
~•~•~
Max smiled and gently handed Deirdre a blanket. "You're amazing."
He whispered softly.
Theo blushed. "I- what?" he stammered and turned redder. "Uhm." he
mumbled and turned red before poping Scar's head up and toward him
so he could look her in the eye.
---
"I know." Deirdre winked before taking the blanket and smiling.
"I-I have a..." Scar trailed off and looked into Theo's eyes. She
sighed and closed her eyes for a moment before turning a dark shade
of red. "A crush on you." She whispered nervously and cautiously
looked at Theo. "I-I sort of always thought you were cute, funny,
and charming. B-but if y-you don't feel the same way. I can leave
and go home." She whispered.
~•~•~
Max returned the smile. He rolled over slightly and set his hand on
hers.
"Arceus, Scar. My flirting with you finally paid off." Theo
breathes a sigh of relief and smiled as he kissed Scar's cheek
gently. "I thought you'd never feel the same." he admitted.
---
"Can I have a pillow...?" Deirdre softly asked and took his hand.
Scar blinked and gently touched her cheek for a moment. She wrapped
her arms around him and put her chin on his shoulder. "I guess
that's why I always teased you, but to be honest you used to flirt
with a lot of girls. I thought you only saw me as a friend." She
admitted quietly.
~•~•~
Max nodded and slowly sat up, he shook his head clear as a bit of
dizziness hit him. He grabbed a free pillow and handed it to
Deirdre before collapsing on the couch and closing his eyes once
more.
Theo smiled and held her close. "I know. I never thought you'd like
me back, so. I flirted with other people to leave my options open."
he admitted back and smiled in content.
Scar nodded and smiled slightly. "Sorry I never told you sooner. I
just noticed I liked you in this way after a conversation with
Deirdre." She admitted quietly and smiled in content. "I stayed up
late trying to find out how I felt about you...and the more I
thought about it, the more I realized I missed you when I was in
Kalos." She whispered softly.
~•~•~
"I'm fine." Max said quietly and gently placed his hand on her
shoulder. "Just tired."
Theo blushed. "I missed having you around too, Scar." he mumbled
and smiled as hekissed her cheek again. "I'm sort of glad you had
that nightmare, then. Because now we know."

"Do you want me to come up there and give you a hug?" Deirdre half
joked.
