Zalia watched him for a moment, biting her lip to keep herself from apologizing for apologizing so much! She took the cup and sipped at it. She blushed and decided to be blunt, focusing on the TV that she just turned on.

"Do you like me, Bade? I mean...not just like as a normal person but...you know." She blushed bright red. "I-I'm sorry if I seem prideful or if I'm prying or something! Y-you don't even have to acknowledge the question if you don't want to. I-I'm sorry, it was stupid..."

His head snapped to her when she asked the question, but as she spoke he slowly looked at the floor. There seemed to be something really interesting in every carpet of this apartment! He fidgeted under the pressure of her question and stammered:

"Uh, you know... I don't DISlike you... but I ... I don't know if... I like you, I mean I DO like you... but if you don't think of me that way, then.. You know... Right?

Zalia listened to him and her face turned and even brighter shade of red. "Y-you...you do?" She hid her cheeks with her hands. She felt like they were on fire because she was blushing so hard. "I...I do. I...I like you." Her heart was pounding in her chest at her confession.

"You do?" He sounded totally off-guard. Some of the ways she acted toward him had made him unsure up until now. "Oh, well... That's awesome." He found every spot int eh room to look at besides her.

"That was a stupid thing to say, I'm sorry." He was scratching the back of his head again and the freckles on his cheeks became more apparent under his blush.

Zalia wasn't sure what to do either. After about one long minute, she stood up and rushed over to him, closing the distance between them right away and just hugging him. A hug, an innocent hug. But the hug held meaning after what they'd just discussed. "No...you're right. It is awesome."

She smiled a little. "I'm...I'm really happy." She buried her face in his shoulder. She felt elated. So happy.

He was taken aback at first but his response was swift as he hugged her back. "Me too, me too." He was careful to hug around her shoulders where the bleeding scars were not. He pulled back after a long moment to look into her eyes. He was torn as to what to do next. He didn't want to kiss her and frighten her, after all he was unawares at how new she might be to this intimacy thing. Instead he offered her a grand smile.

Zalia's heart was racing when he simply looked in her eyes. As he just smiled at her, she smiled back. A happy smile, the happiest smile she could ever give. She hugged him again. "Can...can I stay like this? Maybe if I'm with you, I won't have bad nightmares." She liked just being in his lap and hugging him.

"Sure." He shifted slightly to one side so that she could get comfortable in the arm chair and wrapped the blanket around her as well. He was comfortable sitting this way, keeping her warm with his body heat. So comfortable in fact that he fell asleep again... To him, warm and sleep were synonymous.

Zalia smiled and cuddled against him, getting comfy against him. She soon fell asleep too. He was warm and comfortable, and she was just so happy. She closed her eyes and just fell asleep.

When she woke up in the morning, seeing Bade, she blushed. She said nothing, just nuzzled against him and closed her eyes. She was awake. Just happy and enjoying the time she had with him.

Bade was a deep sleeper when he was tired and he remained asleep despite her nuzzles. The sun had risen and the day was beginning, yet he showed no signs of arising soon, save the occasional shift for better comfort.

Zalia stayed in his arms for ten more minutes, then she carefully slipped away. She made breakfast for him, making sure there was plenty of meat because she knew he liked it. When it was all ready and set out, she shook his shoulder gently. "Bade? I have breakfast ready."

The wolf twitched awake with a start, as if he hadn't been aware that he was asleep. It took him a few groggy-eyed moments to recognize her, but when he did he stretched all four limbs in different directions before standing. It usually took him a few minutes to wake up properly, so he shuffled off to his bathroom to freshen up and use the toilet before plopping down in the kitchen chair to eat.

"'Morning..."

Zalia understood how a lot of people didn't wake up well in the morning. Half the time she didn't, either. It all depended if she had motivation or not. And her motivation that morning was to make breakfast for Bade.

Last night's confession had thrown things intio a whole new light. She didn't feel like a burden anymore. She didn't feel like she was inconveniencing him. She felt like they were both doing what they did because they wanted to.

"Good morning." She smiled when he came out and she ate her food with him in a comfortable silence. It didn't take her long to finish, and when he was done she'd take care of their dishes like always.

She didn't ask him what he wanted to do today. She figured it was still too early for him to be able to decide that.

He sat back in his chair, comfortably full and content with life. He was happy that it was all out in the open now, like neither of them had secrets anymore. That made his life very easy, despite the threat of Eve in the back of his mind.

He excused himself to go shower when breakfast was done and he soon emerged his bathroom in a cloud of condensation and proceeded to dress himself for the day. He wore his usual holey jeans and a tank top. He sauntered back to the kitchen and leaned in the doorway.

"What would you like to do today?"

Zalia let him go take a shower and she went to get dressed as well, changing into her usual outfit. She was out in the living room cleaning up their makeshift beds when he came out. She thought over his words for a moment and went to the window, checking the weather. "Well...do you want to go shopping? I need to get a parasol sooner or later, and the family I'm house-sitting for left my pay on the table because they knew my financial condition. We could get my parasol and maybe just go window shopping." It would be a nice chance to walk and be outside for the most part.

However, she didn't know if he would like something as boring as that. She glanced over at him. "We don't have to if it's not your kind of thing, of course."

"I don't really have a kind of thing outside of being an animal and coffee. So that sounds fine." The extent of shopping that he was used to went like this: Go into the store, grab the first pair of whatever fit, buy it and wear it until it falls off. It would be interesting to see a girl in their "natural setting" as some people called it. He put on his shoes, sans socks and waited by the door. He made sure to lock the door this time and had previously toured the house to make sure the windows were shut and the curtains were drawn.

Zalia nodded a little. "Well maybe we could stop and get some coffee somewhere too." She smiled with him and put on her own shoes, then went out. It was a bit sunny, but she didn't show signs of problems at first. She just glanced warily towards the sky on the occasion.

"So...Bade. What does this...make us?" She blushed a bit. They were both so happy after confessing their feelings last night, but she was paranoid. No good thing had ever stayed in her life for long at all. And she'd never had feelings for someone else like this. She wasn't sure what to do, what not to do, and everything like that.

He gave her a sidelong glance before answering. He was hesitant and wary when he said: "What do you want it to make us?" He didn't want to overstep his bounds. He'd gotten into relationships quickly before and sometimes they worked and others... Well, in other you get stabbed.

He was automatically walking toward his favorite coffee shop, without asking.

Zalia didn't mind going to the coffee shop first. They needed a pick-me-up. She blushed, and suddenly was watching the ground where she was going instead of looking near him. She'd found her footsteps very interesting apparently.

"Uhm...well..." Even after everything, her heart was racing. "I uhm..." She reached over without looking and took his hand, her face bright red. "I want to be with you." She cleared her throat. "I think...I think it's called 'girlfriend'." She couldn't look at him, she was way too shy. "B-but if you don't want us to be that, then it's okay. I don't mind." She started to let go of his hand, realizing that she could have made an incredible blunder.

He kept it and gave her a little squeeze. "Alright then, girlfriend." He walked on to the shop, ordered his usual and had her order whatever. He paid of course. Then he let her lead on to where ever it was that she wanted to shop.
