"Hey, Cywren?" Sticky said flirtatiously.
Timebomb's jaw dropped. This was Sticky's plan? And if so, this was not what Timebomb agreed to.
"Um, yeah?" Cywren asked with the utmost confusion.
"I like your hair color. It goes nicely with your blue eyes," Sticky commented with a wink, causing Cywren to blush.
"Uh, thanks? I guess? Where's Timebomb?" She asked, looking for a way out of this conversation.
"He's not -"
"There he is," Copper said, pointing his index finger at the man creepily standing in the darkness, death-glaring Sticky.
"Oh, hey Timebomb! What were you off doing?" Cywren asked, biting her lower lip, which Timebomb had discovered, meant she was super uncomfortable.
"You know, exploring a bit. Actually, I found a really weird cave, can you come check it out?" Timebomb asked while Cywren let out a sigh of relief.
"Yeah!" She yelled, picking herself up and running off towards Timebomb.
After a while, they were out standing in the middle of the wilderness, all the light emitting from the stars and the distant fire.
"What's up with your friend?" Cywren asked, really creeped out with whatever stunt Sticky pulled.
"I don't even know. He decided to help me with - communication skills," He lied.
"Really, you want to practice communication skills on me?" Cywren asked with a cocked eyebrow.
"Eh, well-"
"Timebomb, please don't lie to me. My entire life, up until now, has been a lie. You can't be like everyone else. Please," Cywren whispered, looking down at her feet.
"I didn't - It's just - I um - I -"
"It's fine. You're not the first, and you certainly won't be the last," She mumbled, beginning to walk back towards the camp.
"Cywren, the truth is - I can't get this girl out of my mind, no matter how hard I try. She's everything I ever think about and I need to tell her, but I don't know how to," He blurted out, immediately regretting everything he just said.
"Oh... I mean - that's great!" Cywren lied, but deep down was crushed.
"Yeah, do you have any advice?" Timebomb asked, feeling terrible for still lying to her.
"Just tell her. I'm sure she'll be overcome with joy," She said, sitting down beside a rock and placing her head on her knees.
"But you don't look very overcome with joy," Timebomb said while a smirk danced on his lips.
"Wait, what?! What do you mean?!" She asked, looking completely shocked and blushing almost a million shades of red.
"I mean, it's you. I like you, Cywren," He said while pushing up her head up with his finger.
"T-Timebomb," She whispered while a drop of sadness fell from her eye.
"Yeah?" He answered, using the pad of his thumb to wipe the tear away.
"What's the Wasteland gonna think of this?" She asked with a small smile.
"Think of what?" Timebomb asked, really confused.
"Us," She said, super flustered. The blush said it all.
"Us? You mean - as a couple?" He asked, lightly blushing as well.
"Yeah, I guess - I-if it's okay with you," She said, fixing the glasses that rested on the bridge of her nose.
"It's perfectly okay with me," He said with a smile.
"But is this?" She asked, placing her face not even an inch away from his.
"Is this okay?" She asked, gently placing her lips on his.
His eyes widened, but eventually they fluttered shut.
He enjoyed this. He enjoyed every second of this. But it wouldn't last forever.
He wrapped his arms around her waist while she connected her's behind his neck.
/Meanwhile\
"Ha! You owe me a Nuka-Cola!" Sticky yelled to Copper while they both watched the couple.
"I don't understand. Why would he listen to you but not me?" Copper asked, looking at Cywren make a move on Timebomb.
"He just needed someone to try to take his girl away, then he'd fight for his relationship," Sticky said while they both began laughing.
