She was left with the smaller half of the treat and she closed her lips around it when he pulled away. "Mean." She muttered. "I was trying to share. Now you took too much. I deserve recompense."

"As if. You're the one with an entire box." Which, by the way, was technically all his.

That was true. She looked down at the box, and grinned. "So I do." She muttered, digging in for another square. "Chance came to visit me." She told him, as she opened up the new treat. "I really like him. I promise I will keep my hands off of him though. No touchies." She put the treat in her mouth, and bit down on the corner of it. While she did, her eyes focused on his face, wandering over all of his features. She looked like she was trying to memorize them. She swallowed, and smiled. "I'm never going to take the sight of your face for granted ever again."

He seemed to perk up at the mention of Chance. More so when she said she liked him, as if her approval meant something. "Yeah, he's great." He murmured, averting his gaze elsewhere, pretending he didn't care at all. He sucked at pretending. He smirked lightly when she promised to keep her paws off, and he couldn't help rubbing his neck sheepishly. "Well.. good." He grinned, unable to help himself. He really hoped he didn't get possessive over that poor man. He gave her a considering glance, smiling at her latter statement. "You think I'm purdy~." He teased with a s**t eating grin.

She could tell he cared. He was so terrible at hiding his feelings. She patted his cheek with one hand, gently at first, and then hard once. "I think you're beautiful." She corrected. "And if you tell me that word's for girls again, I'm going to kick your a**."

"Naaaah I won't." He grumbled, rubbing his cheek. His gaze flickered away again, his face going a shade of red. "Cause.. Chance keeps callin' me that.. so I'm gettin' a lil bit used to it." Embarrassing, yes. But he'd been attempting to push through his habit of evading discussing embarrassing things.

"Well thank you, Chance." Maebe muttered fondly under her breath. "It was a long, hard battle, but in the end, we've won." She leaned in, kissed his lips gently, and then pulled away to just look at him again. She felt a stab of pain in her heart, and her eyes dimmed with sadness. "I'm pretty too, aren't I?" Not pretty enough, a little voice in her mind said. Never pretty enough.

Otto kissed her back, and a familiar and soft sensation came with the touch of her lips. He wasn't sure if it was a romantic feeling, or that he simply expected there to be romance when it came to a kiss. It wasn't like before, where there'd been a magnetism between them; some animal desire that came with being close to Maebe. It wasn't anything he felt the need to dwell on, or overcomplicate. "Just pretty?" He clarified with a faint smirk. " Maebe, you put the word pretty to shame. You're gorgeous." She really was. Every feature, every inch of her was lovely. She seemed to be just a little bit insecure in that moment, which rung odd. He wanted to put a smile on her face, but he wasn't sure how. Cheering people up was not his forte. "Are you okay?"

It was a simple question, but it was the exact kind of question that triggered all the pain she'd been shoving down. It welled back up to the surface, and she just let it happen for once. She didn't fight the tears, anymore. She didn't fight how it felt to be hurt. "No." She chuckled out, her head ducking to hide the laugh that was simultaneously occurring with her tears. She wasn't okay, but there was a flood of relief every time she admitted it. "Not even a little bit."

"What's wrong?" He was worried, concerned. Maebe was actually crying. His face fell, and he inched forward more. Hesitantly, he laid a hand on her shoulder, and one on her cheek. "Maebe?"

It felt surreal to be in this situation. To be in Otto's arms, warm and safe and where she had fought so hard to belong in, until now. Now that he accepted her the way she was, without conditions and without boundaries, she broke down with suffering over how badly she wanted something else. Would she never stop wanting? "I kind of liked someone." She sounded like a child. She felt like a child. "And he informed me he doesn't feel that way about me. It's dumb. It kind of feels like high school all over again. Just when you think we've all grown up, right?" She let out a wet, choked laugh, and rolled her eyes.

Poor Maebe, he thought. A broken heart. But she was crying, and not just joking or putting up a front. Maybe she really was growing, despite what she said. Otto pulled her in his arms and hugged her close. "It's okay, Maebe.. It's not dumb." He murmured behind her ear. "I'm sorry." Sorry she was sad, and not because he'd done something. For once.

"It's okay. I'm not used to taking no for an answer. So it's hard." She grinned, pressing her cheek fondly against his. "I never took no for an answer with you. But I was pretty mean back then. Not that I regret it." Then she bit his cheek. Because she was still a little mean.

"Ow." He rolled his eyes, smacking her arm. She really was a little mean. "Yeah, I remember." She really hadn't taken kindly to his many aversions to her advances. He'd been fairly certain she was trying to steal his soul, as he often recalled. He'd not trusted her one bit. "You ended up gettin' your way. You're pretty persistent. Or stubborn, I guess." He smiled softly, rubbing her cheek with his thumb. "So you'll be okay. It's okay."

She ended up getting her way, when it came to Otto. She'd never given up. Why was she giving up so easily, now? Why was this different? Why was she so different? Her eyes closed and she leaned into the feel of his hand against her cheek. "I know." She murmured, her voice cracking with emotion. "I'll get over it. I think the idea that I'm trying to get over it instead of actively hunting this poor guy is what's really throwing me off." She breathed out a soft chuckle, and her head turned to kiss the palm of his hand. "I just want to be wanted. You know? And I'm not."
