[author's note; was feeling emotional so I decided why thee fuck not. Also its been a few weeks since Robbie agreed]

"This was NOT part of the plan-" you watch dumbfounded as Pico and Danny lumber out Pico's 'humble' belongings from his studio apartment.

Pico just rolls his eyes at you, "It's honestly not even that much."

You scoff, plunging your arm into a random load and pulling out a small figurine, "You don't even NEED this!"

Pico drops his box of comic covers and snatches the plastic worn out muscle-figure from your grasp.

"FYI, miss landlady, I've still got the right to my property." He hisses.

Despite him being right to an extent you still can't help but roll your eyes at him.

Danny tucks the last of Pico's belongings into the truck, he dusts his hands in finish, "That's the last of 'em." He announces.

"Don't think the truck will even be able to move at this point-" you snark crossing your arms.

Pico dramatically strokes his chin in thought, "You're right. We'll just leave your fatass behind." (A/N: Their humor consists of random insults and jabs.)

Danny chokes back a surprised laugh but quickly masks it with a forceful coughing fit.

You glare icy daggers at him, "Really? Pico. Really?"

Pico's shit-eating smirk wavers, "My bad."

"You two lovebirds ready to go?" Danny interferes.

"Yeah." You respond automatically, "W-wait. No!"

Pico's eyes widen, "Oh..."

"N-no, we're not lovers.. You know what I meant- it's not like that." you pull on your hoodie strings and let yourself slowly retract into your metaphorical shell.

Pico swiftly shifts the attention off you, "Yo Danny, don't you have that meeting thing soon?."

Your gaze flits to Pico. You're 100% sure the shock is eminent on your face yet you make no effort to mask it.

He's not gonna of taunt or tease you?

What???

"Huh? Oh yeah, you're right.. Aww," Danny jokingly pouts, "guess I'll see you guys later then." He enters his car and starts the engine, "try not to kill each other while I'm gone. Okay, kiddos?"

Pico nods, "Sure thing 'dad', we'll keep our hands off each other."

You practically choke on your heart at Pico's response.

And here you were thinking he'd taken a turn for the better.

Danny sarcastically rolls his eyes as he revs his car, "Stay alive you two."

With that, he's gone, leaving you alone with Pico. 

This would be the second time both of you were truly alone, since the whole.. y'know.. off to the wrong foot encounter in the alley.

Pico clears his throat, "So.. Uh.. I didn't get to properly say this, but.. thank you." He glances over at you and almost immediately then looks away.

He pauses, waiting for a response.

"Oh.." 

That's all you've got for him. 'Oh. I didn't know you were capable of that, I just assumed you always had your head stuck up your perfectly rounded ass'.

He sighs and continues, "I mean.. not just for helping.. with this whole" He gestures awkwardly at himself, "Situation. But like, thank you for not prying.. or trying to fix shit. I honestly appreciate it.."
