Menolly could not help but laugh lightly, he looked kind of funny in that he seemed have wanted to say something but did not. Reaching up, she gently touched the side of his face, all the while watching him with same vibrant happy smile she loved to wear.
She was not entirely sure why she thought that movement might remind him that he was going to say something , but, it was worth a try.

Truthfully, Wolfwood had been expecting her to answer something like, "No, that couldn't be it" and when she had spoken he was going to laugh and say, "Nah, of course not". But she had surprised him with her answer and he was caught unprepared. When he felt her fingertips against his cheek he came back to himself and shut his mouth, giving her another of his sheepish smiles. "You really have a crush on me?"

Seeing that her action had worked, she dropped her hand, lightly trailing her fingertips as her hand came down and joined the other one where it lay in the half hug now completed.
Nodding then, she wondered why he asked again, and took it as meaning he did not feel the same. Picking her words carefully she responds, "I do, I really do. I'll understand if you do not like me like that, though. I would not mind so long as I can stay with you." Her eyes did downcast when she spoke of thinking that he did not think of her in any sort of romantic sense. These grown up feelings where not something she was completely used to quite yet and she tried to control her emotions better.
When she finished her response, she did raise her eyes, taking courage from where she did not know it lay. Again her head was tilted a bit to the side, and she held a hopeful look in her golden orbs as she searched his gray-blue eyes for the answers.

"Oh no! No, no, no. That's not it," Wolfwood said hastily, nearly tying his tongue in a knot in his haste to get the words out. And when her eyes met his he nearly forgot what he was going to say again but he caught himself and explained, "I do like you more than just a friend, Menolly. You're sweet and vibrant and...and you like my cooking." He smiled. "It just came as a surprise that someone like you would have a crush on me. That's all."

Menolly listened to Nicolas, and at first did not know how to respond. She felt bad for causing what she perceived as distress. Then he completely confused her, how wouldn't someone not love him, he is such a wonderful pae. "Your so kind, sweet, the best cook and very handsome. I do not see how someone that got to know you would not l..have a crush." The last in her line of reasons wasn't as important to her as the others.
She did watch her words, she wanted to say 'not to love' however, she did not want to cause more distress.

Wolfwood noticed the skip in her sentence and quirked his left eyebrow, tilting his head to look straight at her face. "What were you going to say, Menolly? I noticed that little slip-up," he said, then smiled again and reached over to toy with her bangs. "And thank you for saying those nice things about me. I suppose you just bring out the best in me."

Menolly blushed brighter and it was her turn to look sheepish when he said that he noticed the slip-up. It was the truth though. She brightened up again when he smiled and messed with her bangs. That brought a bubbly laughter.
Listening to his response, she added back, "I feel the same, Nicholas." Being playful and trying to be cute, she reached up and poke Nicholas's nose gently and then giggled again

Wolfwood crossed his eyes and wiggled his nose then growled playfully and nipped at her finger. "You never answered me, Menolly. What were you going to say?" he asked, slipping his arms around her.

Wolfwood just smiled warmly at her for a few moments before he leaned in and gently kissed her cheek. "You're really pretty when you're all flustered," he informed her playfully then hugged her close. "You know something?" he said after awhile. "I do believe I've fallen for you too.."

Menolly got as close to indignant as she could remembering being, being flustered wasn't fun. When he kissed her cheek, her mind and heart started to really race. There was a whole new type of contact, one that really made her feel all warm. Menolly hadn't known there was anything beyond hugging.
Blinking, she listened to him speaking the same way. Smiling warmly, she thought about that a moment. She was so very happy where she was, with whom she was with. Deciding to see something, she shifts enough to kiss him on the check as well before relaxing and feeling like she was melting as much as being close. Snuggling into him, she was very, very content.

Wolfwood chuckled as Menolly kissed him then he smiled down at the female angel, watching her snuggle in close. "So, are you going to take me up on my offer? You know, about you staying here with me?" he asked, stroking her hair. "I'll sleep out here on the couch and you can have my bed."

Menolly half closed her eyes, content as a kitten. She heard him and considered how she could answer before answering. As a child and teen, she could not sleep without touching someone, would that change now that she was an adult? Taking the assumption that it would not, it made no sense to her that she would be laying awake all night while Wolfwood had a less comfortable place to sleep.
Not wanting him to be in any sort of discomfort she made the decision and answered back, smiling all the while, "I would love to stay here; only are you sure you want to sleep on the couch? I really do not mind. I would probably be more comfortable on the couch then you would." Menolly really liked Wolfwood's home and felt at home there. However, last time she could not sleep, she went wondering and if she did that again, it would be easier to leave without waking him up if she were closer to the door.

Wolfwood listened to what shel had to say and started to tell her, "Don't worry about me, Menolly. I'll be fine..." But then he trailed off, blushing as a thought occurred to him. "Oh, I can't believe I forgot. You like to be held.." Flustered and ever-so-slightly embarrassed, it took Wolfwood a couple tries to speak but he finally managed, stammering. "If..if you want..we could...share the bed..."

Menolly accepted that she just wouldn't get any sleep. Looking up at Wolfwood as he spoke again, she looked back up at him and listened hoping that she would not be alone. She could not understand why he was so flustered, she was too innocent to understand. When she was a baby and child, she always slept with her brother. This was different but she did not know how.
With an inquisitive look as to his way of offering, she answers, "I would really like that, but if it bothers you then you do not have to." It would be a downer if he did change his mind, but she also did not want him to be uncomfortable just for her to get a good nights rest.
