"R-Really, I-I'm, I'm not…"

"You are. Your blush is so pretty, and your stutter is adorable, and you're absolutely amazing at writing."

"Th-Thank you," she whispered quietly.

He chuckled, sitting up to move a bit closer, handing the notebook back.

She took it and her fingers ran over the page. The letters were drawn elegantly, in her peace. The next page, however, held words of anger and pain. She shut the book quickly. "Thanks…"

"Would you ever consider getting a pet? Or do you already have one?" His tendency to switch topics shone through.

"I-I used to have a cat," she said slowly.

"Oh, what was it's name?"

"S-Smokey," she answered shyly.

"Now that's a good name. Aaron wanted to get another cat, and when I asked what he would name it, he said 'something like Samantha', and I questioned if we were actually related. Smokey is such a cute name."

Laura rubbed the back of her neck. "Yeah, I-I thought it was cute. We got her when she was just a kitten."

"Cats are good friends! Especially when they grow up with you!" He grinned at her.

She nodded shyly. "Yeah…"

He reached around blindly for her hand. "Jesus used to sleep right on my pillow next to my head, every night. We were bros."

She reached towards him and brushed their fingers together. "Oh."

Nicky took her hand, weaving their fingers together happily. "Yeah. I miss him from time to time."

She smiled shyly. "Y-You can meet Smokey if you come to my house…"

He looked over at her, eyes wide with excitement. "Really?"

"Y-Yeah," she said softly.

"I would love to!"

She smiled, breathing in relief. "Oh, okay."

"Smokey and I are going to be best friends!" He said surely.

She smiled shyly. "I'm sure."

"Great, now I want to get another cat." He laughed.

She blushed. "Uh, s-sorry…?"
