Friend?

As Ryan rolled to the side, Hunter closed his eyes for just a moment, silently letting out the breath he'd been holding. At her comment though, he opened his eyes again and reached over to give her shoulder a shove. "Stop it. You're embarrassing me." Though his cheeks flushed slightly, he did grin. 

Just lying silently for a few moments, he finally sighed and got back on his feet, brushing bits of hay off his clothes before giving Ryan a hand up as well. "Just for the record..." He reached out and plucked some hay from her hair. "The view's not half bad from my angle either." 

Smiling, he turned and wandered back to their original spot to pick up the lunch leftovers to make sure no trash got left up here. "You can leave the blanket up here if you wanna come back later. Nobody will care."

The three kittens were dismayed when he picked up several UNO cards they were playing with, and he chuckled, given them some loving. "What? You've got plenty to play with up here without these cards." 


Drawn out of his nightmare and back into reality, Scott finally stopped thrashing and opened his eyes, squinting in the dim light. He shuddered as he tried to wake up. "Hope?" He rubbed his blind eye that was hurting. "What..." Where was he? Why was she here? Oh yeah... he remembered now. 

Pulling himself up more into a sitting position, he sighed and wiped some sweat from his brow. "Welcome to my world," he mumbled groggily. He tried to give Hope a half smile. He hadn't meant to wake or scare her. "I'm okay... this is my norm every night."


A friend? Aaron looked up at Sam skeptically. She was joking right? Or just playing him? Surely. She was an agent. FBI and Elite combined. He hated those organizations, but he had to give their agents respect. Surely she wasn't soft enough to actually think they could be friends.

He dropped his gaze. He didn't like what he felt right now. He was getting desperate, and desperation bred mistakes, and mistakes bred consequences.

He was going to let her just walk away but then finally spoke. "Can I go outside tomorrow?"
