"Wouldn't be the first time I killed someone," Keagan muttered. "I'm just scared the bracelet will fail."

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 2:27

"It won't," April soothed, just offering him the palm of her hand. "Baby steps, hmm? Brush your fingers against mine, it's okay."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 2:41

"We don't know if it works after all this time." Keagan tucked his hands into his pockets, shoulders hunching.

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 2:47

"It will," She assured, "Trust me, just trust me… I know it will."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 2:59

"I don't want to risk it. Not this soon."

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 3:06

"Okay…" April whispered softly, "All in your own time… Fleet said the other day me and you were dating, I said I didn't know if we were since we only really got past the 'I like you alot' talk and that was it."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 3:41

"That's what I assumed admitting we liked each other meant. If I've overstepped, tell me."

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 3:53

"It isn't over-stepping… I just needed confirmation, is all," She whispered.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 3:59

"If you don't want to date, it's fine. I just assumed wrongly then."

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 4:00

"No… no, no, no, I want to." She replied with an embarrassed laugh. "I just needed confirmation is all, don't worry, I want to."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 4:05

Keagan slowly relaxed, almost noticeably. "Y-Yeah, I wanna date."

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 4:19

"Me too…. Cool, glad that's sorted…"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 4:27

Keagan nodded quietly and then quickly snatched a hand forward to very very gently brush his fingertips to his wrist before yanking his hand away almost instantly.

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 4:30

"See," She whispered with a bright smile, offering him her hand as she added, "It works. It's okay, it works."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 4:35

((Back in an hour or so))

Keagan took in a deep, steadying breath and tangled his fingers slowly with hers.

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 4:41

(( Okay ))

"Well done, well done." She praised lightly, squeezing his hand gently and brushing her thumb over his knuckle in small circles.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 5:11

Keagan just kept his hand loose on hers, smiling weakly.

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 5:23

"Dan's in the livingroom you know, wanted to see where you lived. Worn himself out and fallen asleep though, he might be awake after hearing you be clumsy, mind."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 5:30

"I'm not surprised, it's quite a trek out. I'll carry him back if need be, if you don't want to stay much longer."

"Have him move in here," Fleet called over. "Or, if his place is nicer, let's all move in there."

"If Daniel doesn't mind, it has four bedrooms," Keagan murmured. "One for each of us, if you wanted to move in as well. It's a Victorian era house, this one only has two bedrooms."

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 5:31

"I want to stay as long as I can do today," She replied with a quiet laugh before nodding a bit at Keagan's offer, "If Dan doesn't mind, sure, I'd love to."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 5:35

"Do you have family to go home to or...?" Keagan asked softly, watching their hands.

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 5:40

April tensed, very slightly at the question and have a sharp shake of her head in the negative. "No, just me. It's been better like that - can't trust anyone. I can trust you though, you an' Fleet an' Dan so moving in with you all will be just fine."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 5:43

"Well, least you didn't kill them, huh?" Keagan muttered with false cheer. "Can still see them, trust issues or not."

**BestNameEva** Thu 19 Sep - 5:57

"You don't get it." April muttered with another shake of her head, squeezing his hand very lightly in comfort when he mentioned his family.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Thu 19 Sep - 6:09

"Perhaps not, but having family might be nicer than knowing you killed your chance at it."
