real life ;

maylee wasn't sure what her relationship with kit was, but she was currently resting her head on his lap as he played with her hair, the two of them on the couch in his flat. a film was playing on the tv, and maylee was half-watching it, mostly enjoying the feeling of kit playing with her hair.

"i'm really glad you're here," he says, causing maylee to look up at him, smiling.

"yeah, me too."

"you're so pretty," he continues, and maylee laughs, grabbing his arm.

"stop it!" she giggles.

"it's the truth!"

she sits up, rolling her eyes as he huffs in disappointment. "so, we should probably talk," maylee says. "like, i think it's clear we both still like each other. i just... i don't know how comfortable i feel about getting into anything with you right after tara, but obviously i'm not you so i don't know how you're feeling about all that."

"i mean, i'm still a bit shook up, but i really do like you may," kit says. "you make me feel good. she didn't."

"that doesn't mean you're ready to jump into a relationship, though."

"i don't know about a proper relationship right now, but i'd eventually want that with you, yeah," he confesses, and maylee nods, listening. "i do really like you, though. maybe we could just take things slow?"

"i'd like that," maylee agrees. "as long as you're certain."

"i am. i definitely am."
