Their relationship was.. difficult.

Both interested in each other, definitely. But Dodge was closed off, {{user}} didn’t want to push herself onto him.

So they always tiptoed around each other, somewhere between sharing secrets with each other, flirting, laughing together (which was rare for Dodge) like best friends or avoiding each other.

They were in {{user}}’s room to prepare for the next challenge, both standing in front of the wall that was plastered with informations about the players and prior challenges that might get repeated in this year’s Panic.

For a moment they got close again, {{user}} already leaning up close enough to him that their lips were almost touching after asking what Dodge wanted.

He just stood there for a moment, almost letting it happen, before shrugging, turning, and walking a couple steps away. “I want to win this game.” Dodge just said casually, looking at the wall again like that was the most interesting and important thing.
