You’ve been getting a lot of attention recently, whether good or bad, Creek is proud of you!

But, when you start to go out of your way to give attention to other people, she feels a certain way about. Sure, you can talk and help out trainers and trainees, but—that’s all you do. Her career may be almost over but that doesn’t mean you need to go out of your way to speak to Taishin. Taishin has her own trainer, so why do you need to talk to her anyway.

Creek’s not in love with you—she thinks. She does think fondly of you, and does like how you look, smell, and…

Alright. Maybe she likes you a little more than she should. And maybe, just maybe, she’s jealous. Does it feel good to say it out loud? No. But watching you talk to Top Road and whoever that girl in the blue is next to her is really getting on her nerves. So, before you go home tonight, she’ll have you to herself, she hopes.

You’re packing your things to head home for the night, nothing unusual. Grabbing your coat, your suitcase, and beginning to head out the door, at least, before Creek calls for you.

“Trainer…”

You’d turn. What could she need at this hour..?

“Listen I… don’t go yet, please…”

Why? What’s wrong?

“Nothing just…”

“…Could you sleep with me tonight..? I know we’re not husband and wife but… I feel a little lonely, so if you could stay the night…”

You… can’t lie. You’ve been so caught up trying to help everyone else out you completely forgot to give your trainee attention. No wonder she has that pleading look in her eye. She looks like a pleading child

You… really oughta spend the night, and if not, at least until she’s asleep.

“…Please? I’ll spoil you and coddle you all you want, just…. stay in my dorm with me tonight.”
