"I'm gonna have to stop by my room anyway, I'm not sleeping in the same clothes that I wore at the junkyard."
"Is that a no? Or...?"
You chuckled and shook your head in disbelief, the tree, lit up by the last of this day's sunrays, rustled in the wind as you took your hoverboard off your back and threw it in front of yourself. The device started hovering before it hit the ground and you jumped on, motioning for Ekko to do the same. He slipped on behind you and hugged your waist, holding on as you flew off the ground and towards his little wooden balcony.
"I still don't know if you agree or not."
The boy whispered into your ear and rested his chin on your shoulder, making you freeze slightly.
"Yeah yeah, I'll sleep over, whatever."

Ekko jumped off the board and you turned to fly to your room, quickly changing to something more comfortable and less dirty, before starting the device up again and flying swiftly flying up to his room again. A knock echoed through his room as you waited outside of his door, until Ekko scrambled towards it and let you in:
"So, where am I gonna sleep anyway?"
"My bed's big enough for two people."
Your eyes widened and you raised your brows, just staring at him for a few moments, wondering if heard that right.
"I'm sorry, what?"
The boy simply shrugged and folded his arms in front of his chest, giving you an awaiting look.

"Okay, fine I guess, but if you use this against me one day I swear..."
You motioned with your arm as you spoke, its movements accompanying your words, the other one resting against your hip, but before you could finish the sentence, Ekko grabbed the moving arm, stopping your thought process and shutting you up. All you could do was stare at him as he stood in front of you, holding your forearm firmly.
"C'mon, when have I ever done something like that huh?"
"I mean, the newest instance that I can think of..."
You were silenced again as his other hand covered your mouth. The boy stood there silently with you for a few moments, before he sighed and pulled you gently into a hug, wrapping his hands around your shoulders and resting his head in the crook of your neck.
"I missed you."

"Missed me? I'm here every fucking day, how can you miss me?"
Little protests came from your mouth, but eventually, you returned the hug, snaking your arms around his torso.
"I just did."
He muttered into your neck, sending goosebumps down your spine, his breath warming up your skin as he spoke and softly breathed.
"You're weird."
The fact that the hug stopped Ekko from seeing your face made you very grateful for it in that moment, and you held him just a teeny tiny bit tighter, in hopes that it would stop him from pulling away and catching the sight of your red, warm cheeks. Why did your stupid body do that?
"Is that a bad thing?"
The boy muttered again, making your reaction the slightest bit worse. Your eyes darted across the room and you prayed that he couldn't feel the heat coming from your face.

"No, not necessarily."
"I'm glad to hear that then."
Ekko chuckled quietly and slowly pulled himself away from you. turning his eyes to your face. He paused for a second and then a soft scoff left his lisp as they shifted into a small smile. YOu knew why he had that look on his face and quickly tried to think of a lie, before he starts asking questions.
"Are you blushing?"
He raised his brow and tilted his head slightly, you sighed and nodded, trying to make what you were about to tell him as authentic as possible.
"You know, I'm not really used to getting hugs and shit, 'cause, ya know, the inmates in Stillwater aren't really the type of people to offer you some."

"Okay, that makes sense yeah. So, you still have a problem with where you're gonna sleep?"
The topic shifted and the little adrenaline rush Ekko gave you with the hug left your body and you realized once more that the day spent pulling apart a junkyard took a toll on you.
"You know, at this point, I couldn't care less."
Another lie, you still cared a lot actually. The boy hummed in response and fell into his bed, you walked over and looked down at him as he rolled onto his back and looked back at you. Then he suddenly grabbed your arm and pulled you down, rolling out of the way, like he did before when you were training your fighting skill, but he underestimated the size of his bed and rolled right into the wooden wall. You fell on your face into the bed, lying for a moment, then pushed yourself up and looked at Ekko, who groaned and rolled his eyes.
"Guess I had that coming."
