Jaxon's Pov:

I set my phone down after Rep called and went downstairs.

"Hey dad?" I asked.

He popped his head out of the kitchen door frame.

"Yeah, Bud? what's up?" He asked.

"Can you make sushi? Rep and Lover are coming over," I asked.

He nodded, then spoke up, a tinge of tease in his voice. "When are they going to admit they like eachother?" He mused.

"I know!" I exclaimed back.

I went back up to my room and looked at my duck collection, sliding a few into different places and organizing them.

I then turned to my boot collection, throwing on my newest pair.

Boots! I love boots! And ducks. Ducks too.

I set up the air mattress for Rep and Lover, then sat on my bed and waited.

Soon enough, they had arrived, coming up the stairs.

And lover looked... awful.

A light bruise on her face, her eyes with a dim sparkle and her under eyes dark. Not to mention how skinny she was.

My eyes widened as I looked at Rep, who was holding her close, as lover's eyes were downcast.

I looked at Rep concerned. She sent me an 'I know' look.

I sat down, hugging lover who sent me a small smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

She curled up close to Rep, who put her in the air mattress in the closet.

Lover looked up at Rep, putting her head on Rep's shoulder and looking up at her.

Rep smiled softly, and then...

She kissed lover.

Oh. My. God.

LOVER KISSED BACK???

WHAT IS GOING ON???

"Um..." I started.

"Oh. Right. We're dating." Rep shrugged nonchalantly.

My eyes widened as I looked at them.

"And you didn't think to... I don't know, fuckin tell me???" I yelped.

"Um... no, not really," Rep shrugged again.

"That's- I- whatever. Um. Look at my boot collection!" I smiled.

Lover nodded enthusiastically while Rep just rolled her eyes.

"Nice!" Lover smiled.

"Mm-hmm..." Rep hummed, still focused on Lover's features.

I scoffed and flopped down on my bed.

Reputation's Pov:

I think I need to tell Jaxon about Lover. I know it's not my place, but I'm not sure if just me will be enough to help her.

I waited until she was asleep on the air mattress before I shifted and looked at Jaxon.

"J," I started.

He turned over to me. "Huh?" He asked.

"I think... I need to talk to you... um... can... so... um," I stammered.
