"Y/n?"

~

Kid Blink rushes to her side, squatting down next the girl. He sets a comforting hand on her head and strokes her soft h/c hair.

"Hey hey what's wrong?" He asks her softly.

She looks up at him.

Seeing her like this breaks his heart.

Blink has always had a soft spot for the girl. He gets this weird feeling in his stomach around her and her laugh is like music.

A tear falls from the girls eye.

He takes his thumb and wipes it away, then he pulls her onto his lap, giving her a tight hug.

"What happened angel?" He whispers to the girl.

She lets out a slight whimper.

His breath hitches.

Why does she have to be so damn cute.

He rocks the girl back and forth while whispering sweet nothings into her ear.

"W-w-why am I such a screw up?" She asks softly, yet anger laces her every word.

"What do you mean sweet girl? You are not a screw up. Youse the most amazing, nice, talented, and prettiest thing Ise eva layed eyes on." He says smiling.

"Why is life so stressful?" She asks looking up at him with pleading eyes.

He thinks for a minute.

"Well baby, if life was easy then all us newsies woulda neva met, because we'd all be rich and famous. I'd be livin in a mansion, that looks out on the wada. You'd be my wife and we'd have two little kids running around the house. Life would be perfect."

She laughs, nudging his side.

I wasn't joking.

He smiles at the girl.

"Anyways what Ise sayin is, that if life was easy, it would probably be pretty damn boring cause where's the adventure if everythin is handed to ya on a silva platta." He finishes.

She sniffles.

"Yeah I guess youse right. But this is one hell of an adventure if youse ask me." She giggles. He laughs too.

He keeps rocking her in his arms until she lets out a soft yawn. She snuggles into his chest.

"Why don't wese head upstairs so you can get some rest?" He asks softly.

She hums in response.

He helps her off the ground, and wraps and arm around her waist, guiding the sleepy girl up the stairs to her bunk.

"Good night l/n." He says softly, tucking her in.

He kisses her forehead and walks over to his bunk.

If only.

He closes his eyes and falls into a deep sleep.

- time skip - two days later - the morning -

"~Racey" y/n coos softly, gently shaking the boy to wake him up.

His eyes flutter open.

"Why the hell are you wakin me up before wese supposed ta?" He whispers, rubbing his eyes.

She sits next to him on the bed and takes her hand, running it through his messy hair.

He smiles at her.

God she is gorgeous.

"I wanted to leave early so wese can stop for the good coffee at Tibby's. Remember I snagged those extra two quarters from that rich lady yesterday? And wese sellin togetha cause Les had a cough and Davey has ta take care of him." She whispers softly.

"Oh yeah dats right." Race says slowly getting out of bed.

He sits next to the girl on the bed and looks up at her.

"You know youse lucky. I'm in a good mood now. It's nice that your voice is da fist thing Ise heard this mornin" he winks at her and gets off the bed heading to the bathroom.

She blushes, smiling to herself, and then pulls herself out of the bed as well.

Racetrack and y/n walk into Tibby's.

"Heya Tibby." Y/n greets the man.

"Hello y/n! What can I get for you and your friend today?" He asks, smiling at the two.

"Two black coffees please." She smiles.

"Ohhh ordering fancy today I see. Is this some sort of date?" The man asks smirking at the two teenagers, who were now a blushing mess.

"N-no it's not like that!" She stutters, frantically waving her hands up in defense.

Race wraps his arm around her shoulders and smirks.

"Actually Sir, yes this is a date." He smiles.

Y/n glares at him.

Tibby laughs and then walks off.

Race turns to y/n.

She is bright red.

She looks at him and slaps his arm lightly.

"Racer! What the hell?" She says, clearly flustered.

He laughs and leads them to a booth.

"Listen okay Ise was just givin the man what he wants!" Race says laughing.

Y/n giggles.

"You are ridiculous." She says as a piece of hair falls into her face.

Race leans towards her, reaching forward, and tucks it behind her ear.

A light blush spreads across both of their cheeks.

He stays leaning forward for a minute before realizing, and he sits back down, looking away.

"S-Sorry." He says.

"It's fine." She replies, smiling brightly at the boy.

Race nervously plays with his fingers on top of the table. Y/n notices this.

She reaches forward, taking his big hand in her small hand.

She lifts his hand up above the table and rests hers on it, comparing the sizes.

"Why do I have such small hands?" She asks, pouting slightly.

He laughs and laces his fingers with hers, resting their hands on the table top.

"Its okay babes, because your hand fits perfectly," he squeezes her hand a little, "in mine." He finishes, looking up at the blushing girl and smiling.

She breaks the eye contact. She's a blushing mess.

"I- uh-" she starts but gets cut off by Tibby holding their two coffees. "Here you love birds go. Two coffees... on the house." He says smiling and winking at the girl. She smiles at him.

"Thank you very much sir, wese appreciate your kindness." She says. He nods and walks away.

The two sip their coffee and make small talk.

They get up out of the booth (y/n leaves the two quarters anyways for a tip) and walk out the door.

They make their way to the gates, side by side.

Race leans over a bit and once again, grabs the girls hand, lacing their fingers together.

Their arms swinging slightly as they walk.
