"Wrong kind of upset." He murmured back with a smirk. "That's a whole other ball game, sweetheart."

"Fair enough." She snickered out. "Good luck prying just enough to not make me hulk out on you. You've got a tough job ahead of you." She laid back, her arms finally releasing him, and looked as if she was staring up into the sky. "So." Her mouth slowly rose up on both sides, until she was grinning again; but there was a lot more mischief behind this one. "Chance."Yeah. She'd figured it out.

Otto froze. "Wh---huh?" Why did she bring up Chance? How did... did she know?

She turned her head to the side, her eyes resting on a spot just north of his forehead, and she pursed her lips with very dramatic know-it-all sarcasm.

Otto shifted, turning his head away as if it made a difference. "What about him?"

He was going to make her say it. He was honestly going to make her say it. Did he conveniently forget how unsubtle Maebe was about these things? Well. "You're ******** was a reminder.

God Dammit. "Um.. yeah." He admitted sheepishly, his cheeks flushing. "How'd you find out?"

"It's the way he talks about you." She admitted, reaching out to try and slap at his face, because she wanted to feel the heat of his inevitable blush. "He's not very subtle. And neither are you. He came to visit me a lot, when I was in the Infirmary. And, you know. Before that. When we were all." Her voice had become hesitant, and it stopped there. She didn't want to talk about that night anymore. She didn't want to remember when they'd all lost their minds. "I know you guys took care of me." She admitted, her own blush warming. "When I couldn't take care of myself. Thank you."

Chance talked about him, huh? Conversationally? Bragging? Gushing? Suddenly Otto wanted to know what he said, without making it obvious how curious he was about it. So he sat there, blushing and fidgeting and generally looking ridiculous. Thankfully, Maebe didn't see any of it, though her hand had eventually found his cheek after smacking him a couple times on the head and ear. Of which Otto had grunted disapprovingly. "That's good. That he visited n' all." Apparently he'd done it a fair bit? He wondered if they'd known each other before it all. "Not sure how I feel about bein' talked about..." Depending on it was good or bad... actually, good could also be bad. He shrugged again, remembering trying to haul the two of them across the beach to the Lighthouse while he himself had been battered, bruised and down on his spirits. "Yer welcome.." He murmured. "Anytime.."

"You like it." She teased, sitting up and pulling herself closer until she was face to face with him. "But he hasn't actually told me anything personal, yet. I get the feeling he's not that kind of guy. If I want details, I might have to worm them out of you some day." She brushed her fingers down the line of his jaw, and then cupped his cheek. "I want you to be happy, Otto." She whispered, her lips twisting wryly. "I hope this makes you happy for as long as it can."

Okay maybe he liked it a little bit. "You might need to try real hard. My lips are sealed." Mostly because it was embarrassing and Otto was shy in the share department. His fingers lifted to touch the back of Maebe's hand, his eyes searching hers, knowing they couldn't gaze back. "I want you to be happy too." He really did. He was pursuing his own happiness by trying to be more honest with himself, and to stop telling himself he needed to fit a certain mould in order to hold himself in better regard. "And.. I hope so too.. I think it will. I mean.. I'm gettin' better in some regards."

She searched his face until she found his lips, and her fingers parted them carefully. She closed in on him, her lips parting seductively, clearly intending on kissing him deeply. But when her lips met his, she blew air into them instead. Because she was a brat. "You're getting better." She agreed, even though she was still giggling from having blown into his mouth. "You are." But she had nothing to say about herself.

Not fair. Maebe was a mean tease. Otto hacked at the sudden air blown into his mouth, having fully expected a sultry and seductive kiss. Thrown off guard. "Thanks, I think.." He groaned, pouting. "So um.. you made any developments? I mean I feel like we'd both set out to learn more about ourselves, yeah? N' just like.. break some of the boundaries we made."

"Nope." And just like that, she'd closed up like a bear trap, sitting up straight and brushing the (not ruined) side of her hair out with her fingertips. "I'm still just as fantastically ******** up as usual. I mean, you know the last breakthrough I had. Other than that, I've come to the conclusion that I am - " She started to count things out with her fingers. "Selfish, jealous, bitter, unfair, and altogether just a menace to anyone around me. So." She shrugged, and smiled faintly. "Not much has changed."

Oh. Land mine. Otto grimaced, rubbing his neck and regretting even trying. Prying gone wrong, case in point. She clammed up. "Sorry.." He murmured. "But I don't think you're some of those things." Just some though, he wasn't going to pretend she was a saint. Neither of them were. "Or...okay you are but like.. not..." ********. Hole. Dug. ******** class="quote"> Nio Love
