Cassandra was not an emotional person. She didn't react the way others did, she didn't act the way a normal girl would to things. She wasn't normal but she didn't mind that. Not until now, she didn't know what to say or do about what, who she had seen. She didn't know what to do but she knew who she wanted to see.

Her face was blank, her fingertips rushed as she hurried into his apartment. She didn't look at him as she moved quickly over to him, throwing her arms around his middle and holding him tightly. She pressed her face against his chest, making the world go away for a little while. She didn't say anything, she didn't have to because he would know. He knew her better than anyone here. Almost as well as Steph.

Barbara was here. Barbara was here. It was good but it was all wrong.

"Don't argue with me, tickle you," I counter as I kiss her back and wrap my arms around her tighter. As far as threats go, it's not the best one I've come up with, but it's probably the most effective deterrent I can come up with for her.

Cass scowled at him, jaw jutting out slightly as he threatened her with tickling.

"Hnn," Cass murmured, turning her head slightly as he kissed her. She faked the displeasure for a moment longer before she sighed into the kiss, parting her lips slightly as she let him wrap his arms tight around her. Stretching a leg across him, she pressed her toes against the bed before shifting and moving suddenly until he was on top of her. Parting her legs she looked up at him before tugging him down for another kiss.

I find it oddly adorable when Cass pouts like that. Maybe because she does it so rarely and somehow it doesn't seem as petulant as it would on others. The fact that I find anything adorable is a testament to how far I've come since arriving here.

I keep kissing her, not minding as she shifts us around on the bed. I can feel her beneath me and even despite all the hard muscle of her body, she feels so incredibly small. Sometimes I forget that she's just a person.

"You like it when I tickle you."

"No, I don't." Cass replied, scrunching her nose up at him. She smiled after a moment or two before leaning up to kiss him. Pressing her feet against his hips, she slid her legs around his waist before curling her leg around him. She tugged him close and smirked. "I like you."

"Bet no one else knows you're ticklish," I say smiling at the way her nose scrunches up before running my fingers through her hair as she clings tightly to me.

"You're not too bad yourself."

"No, no one but you." Cass said softly, smiling a little up at him. She made a tch noise as he ran his fingers through her hair before she stretched up to kiss him again. Soft, pliant and sweet, she tugged him down with her. She didn't care if he crushed her as long as he was with her.

I nuzzled against her neck as I lay on top of her. I'm sure she'll push me off when my weight gets to be too much, or punch me in the side, more likely. Right now, I like being this close to her though, almost feels like I'm protecting her, not that she needs it. At least not physically.

I feel like I should tell her something though, about how I feel. I don't know if I love her. Actually, I probably do but I'm just too afraid to admit it. I know that she probably knows better than I do what I'm feeling and I don't need to say it, but I feel like I should say something.

"We should probably stop keeping two apartments."

There, that was something.

Cass scrunched her nose up in confusion, looking up at Kaine curiously as she considered the idea. Stretching her arms up, she leaned into the touch at her neck before nodding.

"Hn, okay." Cass said simply. "You going to get annoyed if I'm naked?"

She looks at me in a way that says she's really not sure if it's a good idea. I realize too late that it was stupid to ask, I shouldn't make big decisions like that at a moment's notice. And then she accepts and I'm sure I really screwed up.

"Probably," I admit. "You going to get annoyed if I'm annoyed?"

"Stop it," Cass warned him, leaning up and pressing her lips against his. She had accepted, he just needed to understand that it was something she'd had to think for a moment about. "No, going to make you less annoyed. In the shower or on the couch or here."

I kiss her back, much happier to get a kiss in reprimand than a jab to the ribs. I'm going to try especially hard to respond favorably to show her kissing is much preferred to getting hit.

"Okay. So. Everyone is happy then."

"Yes, I am." Cass said with a small surprised smile. She was happy, she was happy with him and she had never thought she would be.
