========================================

REcap:

“I’m not wearing it if Sage picked it out,” I retorted, knowing that he would gloat, and hold it against me. Secretly, I desperately wanted to wear it despite the fact that my enemy had chosen it. I was stubborn though, I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. I had some pride.

“He went for a walk actually, and he usually stays out all night on ‘walks’, so he wouldn’t have to know that you chose his outfit,” Finn said tentatively, his voice cracking once or twice like he was afraid of what I would say.

He would lie to Sage for me? I meant that much to him?

I smiled, a genuine smile, and on a sudden instinct that came from nowhere I hugged him, noting how he smelled like clean rain, and a hint of spices. He jolted in place, like I was somehow attacking him, but soon after he realized I wasn’t, he relaxed, his arms circling me tightly as he laid his head on top of mine gently. It was merely friendly, nothing more, nothing less, but for the first time in awhile, I felt like I had someone who cared…a friend.

“It’ll be out little secret,” he murmured quietly, patting my back before accenting his words with another strong squeeze. “Don’t you worry.”

“Thank you so much,” I told him sincerely, still beaming, as he let me go and returned my smile, his lighting up his own face like a 1000 watt bulb.

I again, noticed how cute he was with his disheveled blonde hair and little dimples, resolving to ask at a better time if he had a girlfriend. If not, I would try my hardest to set him up, he would make some girl so happy, I was sure. He deserved it.

“Now get out you pervert, and let me change!” I playfully scolded him, ruining the mood effectively. I could only take so much mushy stuff before I melted after all.

“Aww come on, we just had a moment didn’t we? It’s the least you could do!” he whined, scrunching his face up into a puppy-dog look that was as heartbreaking as it was fake. He was good.

I shook my head anyways, throwing a pillow at him before closing the door on his cheery face, feeling better than I had in years, feeling like I was actually cared for.

Like I was home.
