Honestly, it hadn't quite crossed Avery's mind that she'd never actually told Noah that she loved him. His initial reaction to her text had made her heart stop for a second as she realized what she'd just said, and that it was the first time she'd said it, and that she'd said it for the first time over a stupid text. The fat that he said it back though, and that he was coming over so they could talk about it, or say it in person, or even just hug, really, made everything better. She kinda floated just reading those four words.

Granted, it was only after asking him to come over that she realized she'd let her place get a little messy, so she constructed a small army of figurines and got the place cleaned up in five minutes flat while she freshened up a bit. As silly as it might have sounded, she was a little nervous now. Sure, they'd spent plenty of time together, but she was so far out of anything she'd done before. She was too young to have feelings for anyone before going on the run, and since then she'd been too busy running to even make friends. She knew, though, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she loved Noah and wanted him in her life.

By the time he came over, she was sitting on the couch, scrolling through the network just to have something to do. She looked up at him, biting her lip a bit. "Hey, Noah," she said, trying to pull off not acting nervous and failing entirely.

If he was being honest, saying those three words over text took a lot of pressure off of him. Now he wouldn't have to feel nervous about saying them because they were already said. He'd felt that way for a while but he just didn't know how to say the words. He was actually glad she did first because that made it much easier for him to finally get them out.

He went in and said an extra goodnight to Nevaeh, promising he'd see her in the morning then he headed out. He only tossed on a t-shirt over his lounge pants before heading to the stairwell because that is what he'd been in when he and Aves had their exchange. A few stairs later, he had arrived at the floor this girlfriend lived in and walked in, as per their agreement. No more knocking.

"Hey" He replied as he shut the door behind him. Walking over to the couch, he stood behind it and gave her a hug over it. Kissing the top of her head as he pulled away, he walked around the couch to sit down. "I've been wanting to say those words for a long time" He admitted as he got comfortable.

When he walked in and immediately hugged her, she put a hand on his arm, sighing into the embrace. As nervous as she'd been, just being near him immediately calmed her down. She watched him settle in, still trapping her lip between her teeth, but not enough to be overly dramatic or anything. When he spoke up, she finally released her lip, her expression softening.

"You have?" She sighed again and closed her eyes briefly, covering her face. "I really thought we'd already said it." Moving her hands back to her lap, she looked up at him. Her eyes weren't shadowed for once, the lighting in her apartment dim enough that she could tolerate it better, but still plenty bright enough for the average person so see perfectly well. Of course, it helped that she hadn't trained or played too hard in a few days having spent most of her time working or hanging out with people. "Otherwise, I'd have waited for you to come over to tell you I love you."

	Embarrassed at the misunderstanding, Aves moved her hand to cover her face, burying it between his chest and her hand. She groaned, then shifted to look up at him again. "What do people even dress as for Halloween?" she asked. "I mean, when they're a couple that's madly in love?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He chuckled a little bit at her embarrassment and leaned down, kissing the top of her head. He gave it a few moments thought then said the first thing that came to mind. "You'd look cute in a poodle skirt as Sandy from Grease" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
