Scar nodded and smiled at Theo. She looked into his eyes, "I'm glad
I had that nightmare too. It gave me the courage to tell you." She
whispered softly and smiled at him shyly.
~•~•~
Max smiled at Deirdre. "If you want to." He joked back softly.
Scar nodded and yawned as well. She gently held Theo tightly and
kissed his cheek before settling down once more. "My parents are
away on a business trip, and if Deirdre is worried I'll explain
where I was tomorrow morning." She whispered softly and yawned.
"It's too late for me to go home alone." She said gently and looked
at Theo for a moment. "Um is it okay for me to stay here tonight?"
She asked softly.
~•~•~
Max laughed softly and looked at Deirdre. "I guess it is." He said
jokingly.
"Of course." Theo smiled. "Come on. Let's get off the couch,
cutie." he winked before gently sitting up and standing, stepping
over bowls of food and pillows.

Deirdre hugged him before shutting off the lights and giggling as
she laid back down.
Scar smiled and got up, "where am I sleeping?" She asked him gently
and followed Theo carefully.
~•~•~
Max chuckled softly and got off the couch. He settled down next to
Deirdre and wrapped an arm around her as he knew the living room
would be cold at night if you were om the ground sleeping.
"G'night, De." He whispered softly.
"In my bed." Theo whispered back. He then turned red. "Wait, no,
n-not like that. I meant I was going to sleep on the floor and you
could slepe on the bed. Uh." he stammered.
---
"Hello." Deirdre whispered and smiled as she put her pillow under
his head.
Scar turned red and chuckled softly. "I can sleep on the couch or
the ground if you want to sleep in your bed." She whispered softly
and gently pat his shoulder.
~•~•~
Max smiled and gently pushed the pillow towards Deirdre as it was
big enough for them to share it. He wrapped his blanket around her.
"Hey, it gets cold in here so I thought I'd try to keep you warm."
He whispered softly. "I'm basically a personal heater since I'm
running a fever anyway." He joked softly.
“No, it’s okay. You can sleep in the bed. It’s warmer, and it’s
like, the middle of winter.” Theo replied with a frown and opened
the door to his room.

Deirdre smiled. “Don’t he too hot, though. Hats dangerous.” She
whispered and set her head down.
Scar nodded and looked at Theo. "Alright." She said softly and
walked into the bedroom. She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
~•~•~
"That's why you have most the blankets." Max said in a gentle
whisper and kissed Deirdre's head before settling down next to her
and putting his chin on her head. He closed his eyes and fell
asleep.
Theo pointed to his bed in the corner. His room was nothing special
and not crazy big, but it was comfy and had a certain charm. A bed,
a dresser, a desk, a small bookcase, a rug on the hardwood floors,
and a bulletin board. Most of the board was filled with photos, and
quite a few were him and Scar.
—-
Deirdre smiled. “Thanks. I love you. I hope I can say that for a
while.” She whispered before falling asleep.
Scar looked at the photos and smiled before glancing at the floor
and frowned for a moment before looking back at Theo. "It doesn't
look comfortable." She said in concern. "Are you sure you don't
want to sleep in the bed?"
~•~•~
Max smiled and mumbled. "I love you too, you'll be able to say that
for a long while." He whispered softly and wrapped his arms around
her in a protective manner as he slept.
Scar frowned and looked at the bed before looking back at the rug.
"I believe you, but rugs can be uncomfortable." She said softly and
sighed. "Listen why don't you just sleep in the bed. We can share
it." She trailed off and blushed. "Not in that way, but it's big
enough for both of us, I can keep my distance." She said softly.
"Um if you want to that is...your choice." She said in
embarrassment.
Theo sighed. “Alright.” He mumbled and climbed into the bed, close
to the wall so he could give Scar space, if she wanted some.
“Thanks, Scar.” He whispered and yawned.
Scar nodded and smiled at Theo. She climbed into bed and settled
down near the edge. She then closed her eyes and began to fall
asleep. "Thank you, Theo. For being so amazing...I love you." She
whispered gently and fell asleep.
Theo smiled. “Goodnight, Scar. You’re incredible. I love you too,
cutie. And I’m glad we can finally say that.” He whispered and
grinned before falling asleep.

The next morning, Feirdre was passed out asleep. She’d rolled away
from Max and her face was against the side of the couch.
-
Theo woke up the next morning and smiled before relaxing he
couldn’t get it of the bed.
Max was asleep next to Deirdre. He didn't have any blankets on him
as he had gotten really hot in the middle of the night. His hand
was still in the spot Deirdre would've been when they first passed
out.
~•~•~
Scar was curled up near the edge of the bed and had a small smile
on her face. She slowly woke up and smiled at Theo. "Morning,
handsome." She said gently and joked slightly when she said
handsome, more so mimicking how Theo called her cutie, but there
was some sincerity in her sleepy tone.
Deirdre soon half woke up and rly comfortable and warm. She wasn’t
sure where she was but riding mind it for now as these blankets
were insanely comfortable.
—-
Theo smiled. “Ah, So you’re me now?” he laughed softly. “It’s still
early.” Ne added and yawned. “How’d you sleep, cutie?”
