Conner spent the most of Day One sleeping, like everybody else except for the fairies and Alex. It had been a tiring two weeks, and Conner was satisfied to find out his dreams finally weren't nightmares.
The fairies decided they wouldn't put them to sleep for a week as they agreed after the dangers they had faced, they needed some time to rewind, share stories and celebrate.
Conner, Bree, Goldilocks, Jack, Red and Hero in particular hadn't slept for a full 24 hours. Not to mention they had done a lot of physical exercise, so they fell asleep the instant they closed their eyes.
When Conner woke up, it was already afternoon of the next day. He yawned and saw Bree sleeping next to him.
The girl had taken off her beanie and ponytail, which was a first. Her bangs fell over her face as she slept soundly and she clutched her purple beanie to her chest.
Conner smiled fondly when he saw her attachment to her precious beanie. He had never seen her without it.
He realized he was a total creep for staring at someone when they were sleeping and averted his eyes, a small blush on his cheeks. Conner was reminded by the hotness of his cheeks that he had a job to do within that week.
He made a tally in his head and came to the conclusion that he blushed when either Bree showed him affection or when he embarrassed himself in front of her. Conner obviously didn't want Bree to be embarrassed, so he should try doing something to her.
He decided he would observe how other people show their significant others affection since Conner was sure he couldn't pull it off. He had some knowledge of flirting due to his research for writing Starboardia, but he couldn't apply it in real life.
Case One: Jack and Goldilocks.
"Who's mama's good boy?" Goldilocks said tiredly as she tried to rock Hero to sleep. The baby continued to cry, showing no signs of sleepiness. Conner had briefly woken up a few times ago and heard Hero crying and his parents trying to comfort him.
"Let me try," Jack offered and took Hero. He rocked his baby in his arms, while humming a song. "You can take a break Goldie."
"You're the best," Goldilocks yawned and promptly collapsed on the ground.
Conclusion: do something for her, especially when she is tired.
Conner thought that wouldn't really work because what he could do, Bree could do better. Not to mention Bree was a highly resourceful young woman, capable of doing many things. But then, Goldilocks was the same.
I guess I'll have to help her when she needs help, Conner thought. But I was taught to do the same for everyone who needs help. So this is basic.
