Roland was sitting on the steps of the dorms, phone out debating. He wasn't happy about how things went with coffee. What started out pleasent turned into a quick look at his personal life, a fair bit of embaresment and a nagging question.
Did Nevada like Otto? Was that why they hadn't worked together or hung out lately? Because she was seeing him? He flipped his phone open and started to dial, then shut it, opened it again and typed out a text.To Nevada Hey, meet me outside the dorms from steps? - Ro

Nevada had finally cleaned the mess of her room. First their was the emotional damage to clean, Although she wasn't complete over Otto, she was at a level where she was extremely happy that her crush was happy and well. It took the weird creatures invading her home for her to realize that she was a hunter. If love didn't work out well, she could always fight instead!
But it seemed like a lot of work....
/Better get used to it. You've moped for long enough Pidge and its time to get out there and fight again./ Leroy snapped at her, irriatated that he had to get a young teenage ghoul for his partner. Why did he choose her again? Nevada answered by nodding in agreement with her weapon.
With the emotional behind her, she had cleaned the physical and was pleased to say that the leftover chip bags, pizza box and wine that she had been sneaked in. All of it was thrown away. Her phone beeped with a message and the girl sighed. Hopefully it wasn't a mission. She was tired.
Flipping the phone open, her mouth made a small 'o' at the sender before she sent a quick one back, letting Roland know that she would be there.
Making sure to do a quick change and hair check, she bounded out of the dorm and towards where her friend was, covering his eyes with her hand.
"Guess who....?"

His own phone buzzed in response, the acknowledged notice that Nevada would be arriving shortly. He leaned back watching the sun off in the distance among the clouds before his world went black when covered by Nevada's hands.
"Hey Nevada," something about his voice seemed sleepy, more like drained. As if he wasn't entirely sure about being here at this time but was forced to be in that spot at that time. Honestly? He was forcing himself to be there, to put himself through this if only to try and get peace of mind.

"Hello Roland." Nevada lowered her hands from his eyes, as well as lowering herself to sit next to him. Bumping shoulders gently. His tone was tired, maybe a bit strained so she hoped what he needed her for wouldn't take too much of his time and remaining energy.
"Are you okay Ro?" Was the first question to pop to mind, Violet eyes searching his face for more then just fatigue.

The bump to the shoulder shifted him, he leaned back bumping her own shoulder just as gently before tucking his hands in his lap and looking out towards the sun again.
"I guess I am. Mostly. Yeah." He paused for a moment then sighed and shook his head, "Not really." His eyes focused on the ground now still in thought.

It would've amused her to play the game of bumping shoulders, they'd be like one of those toys that continously bump each other and keep moving with that rhythm.
"Mostly?" She hesitated and then when he went to not really, she tugged on his arm and tugged hard. "Tell me. If you want to talk about it Roland."

For a moment they sort of just wobbled side to side. They both settled into their places and they just sat. The tug on his arms caused them to tip side to side once more with Roland shaking himself free ever so slightly to look over at her.
"Nevada... where are we now? I mean..." He sighed, "I mean you haven't stopped by, and you went off with Otto and I just." He shook his head looking away at the sun again, "It's just bothering me lately."

She was at ease long enough to smile lazily at the boy. But his question caught her off guard and had her stiffening. To fresh was at the wound of rejection, and yet at the same time...She had left Roland much like Otto had left her. Wondering and waiting and hoping.
She hadn't talked to Roland, Roland was her friend, her first friend. And someone she cared about. But not enough because she hadn't realized that she had hurt him by chasing after another hunter.
She had to be careful, words she was to say needed to be meant. They needed to be careful.
"Roland I..." She wanted to joke and be like.....Oh jealous? Silly Roland....but she knew he was serious. "I'm...I was...."
"I had a crush on Otto, and we had a moment or two that I thought...But it ended up that he liked another girl and well...we are just friends." She started to curl up into herself and tucked her chin on her knee's. "So with me being rejected...I moped in my room. And I forgot about the one who's been waiting for me cause I was hurting again...And scared..." She bit her lip and then looked over at Roland. "Where....Where do you want us to go Roland? What do you feel....for me?"

He continued to look out towards the sun, he couldn't bare to look at her just yet. He was too nervous to do it. Instead he listened before shifting slightly in discomfort as the conversation started.
A crush, like Ceres, but she had been rejected, not noticing it and walking away. It was awkward as much as this was. Maybe worse. "I... I should have called, but I thought you didn't want to be around me so I." He frowned a bit, and finally looked to her watching the way she bit her lips, her violet eyes, brown hair. "I... I like you Nevada I just. I don't know what you think of me."

He didn't look at her which made her sad. Conversations were meant to be shared with eye contact, to truly understand one another.
He was probably mad with her, for leaving him so long without a call, text or even a drop in. So focused on Otto, that she didn't even give him a chance.
"You've told me that before...As a friend. Do you like...me....as a friend Roland?" Nevada gripped her knee's tighter, "Or...like...as a girl? Do you want me to be...your girlfriend?" Nevada was slightly blushing now as she gripped her knees tighter, even as she looked at him. "I like you too......I haven't not liked you ever just got...distracted. Because I always thought you just....wanted a friendship with....benefits?"
Was that a good way to put it?

He watched quietly, the way she gripped her knee's tighter. The color in her cheeks, a hand reached over pausing in the air above her own before moving to grab her own.
"I, I do like you as a friend. And I mean, as a girl I..." he paused for a moment nodding slightly at her question, "I just, wanted someone. Jordan said, it was the people around you here. That make it worth doing what we do now."
His own face turned terribly red as she mentioned the benefits part, "N-no not like that! That's terrible! I wouldn't that's not!" His own face was terribly red now.

"Does wanting someone mean...that you only want me cause I'm available?" Nevada bit her lip, confused. "Do.....Do you have someone else you like more.....Because I mean..." Oh wow this was a lot harder to take then Otto's rejection.
Perhaps it told her why she avoided talking to him about it. But his face was red, and though the urge to tease was higher, it was also her defense against taking anything seriously. Which was what she was trying to do now.
"Oh...I thought....Oh." She went back to gnawing on her lip, studying their joined hands. "Then...."

"No, not at all, I mean. I don't want to ruin something because of what I want. I don't have anyone else. I mean, I like people, but I like you the most."
Awkwardness filled the air again eyes locked flickering back and forth a bit as their faces turned blood red. His hand tightened on her own and he leaned in a bit closer.

"You're ruining something by not telling me!" Nevada didn't know if she was confused, flustered or frustrated because she didn't know what Roland wanted. Did he want to be her friend? Be her Lover? Be her friend with benefits even though he said no?
"I'm confused..." She admitted, "You like me the most? out of the people you like before??" her violet eyes widened as she felt him move closer, she didn't move though, because she was curious as to what Roland was doing. Would he answer her?
"Roland...."

"I don't know what to say though is why." He sighed, "It... it was people like Jordan, and.... Rep... I didn't realize they had each other and I just..."
His hand tightened just a bit on her own, "I care about everyone on this island, I just... I worry about you the most. I think it's because I like you." He bit his own lip, "I just... I want to try. Maybe us being something more then friends."
