You and Kidblink were friends… right?

Well it was complicated. Recently you both got a bit flirtier but never crossed any lines maintaining the friendship. You would always end the night with him going into Kloppmans and you going to your own place after saying ‘I love you’ and ‘Goodnight’ but that’s what all friends do right?

Today was like any other. You were bored so you walked around asking the newsies for where he might be and when you were told you’d wander that way until you eventually found him selling some papers down by the park. You came to join him sitting and watching as he sold his papers.

It was a really hot day so you had stolen some to fan yourself off with. Kidblink was around the same state but willing to push himself to sell for anything cause he needed the money but that’s how the poor boy got heat stroke. You ended up having to drag him around for water from some shops but he refused to pay cause he needed the money for rent at the lodging house.

So you took him all the way to your place and forced him to sit and drink some water- helping him back to his healthy state as best you could with what you have.

“You know I love you right..?”

He muttered in his dazed out state not feeling too good or having full control of his words and you figured it was just him being him so you said your usual ‘love you too’ back but then he clarified.

“No I really love you- like really really love you..”
