"Your favorite word?" She asked. "You." He replied.

"I can see why Rocky trained so hard to get up here." Billy said as he ate his food with the two of them ontop of the stairs.

"Yeah, dude. I like you like this...like before you were kinda, I don't know like the opposite of how I imagined you." Freddy said.
"A dick?" Billy yawned.
"You're words not mine, but yeah." Freddy said.
"Yeah, this is awesome! You literally have superpowers!" Cassie said.

"I feel like very criminal is either on drugs or asleep right now, wanna head home?" Freddy said.
"How is he gonna to go home, right now? She asked.
"True, but usually we'd have a lair to go back to, right now we have a bunkbed." Freddy said then Cassie laughed, he liked to hear her laugh, it was very intoxicating to him.

"Couldn't we just try to sneak in?" Cassie said.
"Could work, let's go" Freddy said. Cassie decided to help him up, she held her hand out and then pulled him up with both hands, he leaned on his crutch and stood up. They were still holding onto each other's arm face to face so close that they could feel each other's breath. Cassie and Freddy wanted desperately to move away, but didn't.
"You two going to act like your getting married, or you gunna come back to the house?" Billy teased.

Freddy and Cassie looked at him then back at each other, still close.
"Sorry." Cassie said as she backed up. "Yeah." Freddy replied as he noticed her face getting red.

They all walked down the stairs and back to the house, Freddy was behind them as they threw away their trash and continued to walk. Cassie looked back and caught Freddy's eye then looked back in front of her.

"Why don't you two kiss already?" Billy said making sure Freddy didn't hear. "Cause, I don't know if he likes me back. Besides we just met...it would be inappropriate." she replied.
"Oh trust me, he likes you. And does it really matter if you just met?" Billy said. "First of all I can tell you've never been with a girl by that comment. And how do you know that he likes me?"she asked. 
"Listen, don't tell him I told you this, but he talked about you the very first time we met actually. Have you seen the way he looks at you?" Billy asked.
"You know, at first I didn't like you but you're cool now." She said.
"Yeah, I get that alot." he laughed.
"Hey guys mind waiting for the cripple kid!" Freddy said. 
"oh, sorry Freddy" she said, as her and Billy slowed down.
"So this is it guys, we're going to have to be very quiet sneaking in." said Freddy, arriving at the house.
