Brooklyn's POV-
Blink and I get up and get ready for the day.
As I swing my pape bag over my shoulder, I notice something.
Spot's nowhere to be found.
"Hey, Blink? Where's Spot?" I ask
"Hmm? Oh, he's probably gone already." Blink answers.
"Oh, okay."
Blink walks over and grasps my hand tightly
"What?" I ask
"Nothing. It's just- I love you. A lot." He smiles, kissing my forehead.
I hug him tightly.
"I love you too."

Spot's POV-
Blink and Brooklyn probably think I'm out selling papes already.
I'm not.
I'm on my way to Manhattan.
No, I'm not leaving Brooklyn.
I just need someone to talk to.
When I reach Manhattan, Jack sits up on the fire escape.
"Spot?" He asks
I look up at him and climb the fire escape
"Hey, Jack. I need help." I say with a sigh
"With..?"
"Your sister. I just- I can't seem to stop thinking about her.."
Jack sighs
"Look, Spot. I know Brooklyn. She cares about you. You were her brother when I wasn't there to be. She loves you as a brother, but nothing more. Trust me on this, she's not givin' up on Blink so easy." Jack explains
"I know." I reply
We talk some more and I finally decide what I need to do.
"See ya around, Jack" I say then I rush off.

Brooklyn's POV-
I laugh as Blink pulls me into an alleyway.
He lightly presses me against a wall and kisses me intensely.
Kissing him back, I close my eyes.
He wraps his arm around me and spins me around.
I pull away and laugh.
He hugs me tightly.
"What's with the sudden intense affection?" I ask.
Not that I have a problem with it.
I love it.
He shrugs.
"No reason."
I blush and let my face lay on his shoulder.
He lifts me up and presses me against the wall again.
This time I grasp the front part of his shirt loosely, and pull him towards me.
Instead of kissing him, I just hug him.
I needed this.
Footsteps splash in puddles outside the alley and I hear a familiar giggle.
Spritz.
They suck into the alleyway as well and see us.
"Awww they're adorable!" Spritz laughs
"Shut it, Spritz." I giggle
"Why'd ya guys leave us?"
I shrug.
Spritz shrugs and kisses Crutchie passionately.
"I feel awkward.." I say.
Blink lifts me into his arms and runs out of the alley, not disturbing Crutchie and Spritz.
I laugh.
"Well that solved everything!"
He smiles as he sets me down.
Most people would hate being a Newsie.
But without this life I would never be the same.
And I wouldn't trade it for the world.
((That pun at the end XD and God this chapter had INTENSE Blinklyn!!))
