Harvey woke up to see one very sleep Adam Banks resting his head on her bed, still holding onto her hand. She smiled as she saw her team walk into her room. Dean and Fulton began to stomp into her room, waking up Adam. He shot right up, hearing the loud sounds of the bash bros' shoes hitting the floor. He turned to Harvey and saw their hands, still holding onto one another.

"Well if it isn't the little bash babe. How are you kiddo?" Harvey rolled her eyes at the two boys. She hated being called kid or kiddo by someone that was also a kid. She just chuckled and sighed.

"I'm fine." She soon saw her brother walk over to her, eyeing Adam as he held onto his little sister's hand.

"You had everyone worried Harv." She looked down at her hand and frowned a bit. "But we're glad you're okay." He sat down at the foot of her bed, followed by Charlie and Dean and pinched her leg, causing her to kick him. He chuckled and smiled at Harvey, glad she was okay.

"Did anyone tell you what happened after I got on the ice?" She shook her head and looked at the team. "Dean and Fulton also gave the kid a concussion after he pushed you into the boards." Harvey couldn't help but laugh as the boys fist bumped, proud of what they did.

"Thank you, but he didn't deserve to get a concussion, he was just playing hockey." They chuckled as their coach walked into the room, causing the team to quiet down.

"Doctor said you can leave if you rest for a couple more hours." She nodded her head and looked at her team with a smile on her face, ready to play hockey again with them. She felt Adam squeeze her hand, excited that she would be let out in a few hours. Connie and Julie saw her smile when she looked at Adam so they thought up a plan.

"We should go to the cafeteria downstairs. Is anyone hungry?" Before Harvey or Adam could see, they winked at the rest of their teammates, hoping they got the hint to leave and they did, everyone besides Averman.

"I'm okay. I ate breakfast this morning and I'm stuffed. I'll stay with the Bandit and the Banksman." Jesse rolled his eyes and yanked Averman's arm, pulling him out of the room, leaving the two alone. She slightly turned to him and smiled.

"You should have went home and slept in your bed. You didn't have to stay here." He smiled and rested his head on the bed, and tracing her hand. "Those chairs look uncomfortable." He sighed and looked up at the girl. He didn't care if a chair was uncomfortable, he wanted to be there when she fell asleep and when she woke up. He wanted to be there for her.

"They are, but I'd rather spend the night on an uncomfortable chair than stay in my bed if it meant seeing you." She smiled and scooted over, making room for Adam on her bed. She patted the bed and he kicked his shoes off, laying down next to her. Harvey knew that Adam didn't sleep well last night, mostly because of the chair. He pulled her close to her, letting her lay almost completely on top of him. He smiled softly as she began to run her fingers through his hair just as she did the night before. "I really like you, Harv." She looked up at the boy who was already looking down at her. She smiled and placed a small peck on his cheek. Adam smiled because of the kiss but he didn't want a little baby kiss, he wanted to kiss her. He brought his hand down and pulled her closer to him, kissing her. They pulled away and smiled at each other, finally happy.

"I really like you too, Banks." He wrapped his arms around her waist and laid his head in the crook of her neck, slowly falling asleep.

..........

He was already asleep when the team walked in, happy at the sight in front of them. Harvey raised her hand and put her finger against her lips, quieting them. They all nodded but Luis looked mad. It's not that he didn't like Adam, he just didn't want anyone to hurt Harvey. She's his little sister and he's her big brother. He needs to protect her and make sure she's treated correctly. Luis walked towards his little sister and smiled at her.

"Is he going to treat you right?" She looked down at Adam and smiled, nodding her head to answer her brother's question. "Then we shouldn't have a problem."

"Thank you, Lu. You know I love you right?" He nodded his head as Fulton walked towards them, followed by Dean and Dwayne. Dean stepped forward, putting his hands down on the foot of the bed.

"As honorary big brothers, I believe we get a say in this." The girl smiled as Adam shifted and gripped the girl tighter, pulling her closer to him and causing Dean to smile. "Never mind, he's got my vote." She chuckled at the fact that one little movement that Adam did in his sleep could change Dean's mind so quickly.

"I think I speak for all of us when I say you guys are perfect together." She silently thanked him and turned to the rest of her team, smiling.

"I love all of you." Averman looked up at her, surprised she would admit that to him. "Yes even you Averman." All of them smiled at her and Dean put his hand over his heart, dramatically falling back into Charlie and Jesse, almost knocking them over. Everyone else was happy that their friends finally admitted to liking each other. Connie and Julie squealed in excitement as Guy and Charlie held them down, stopping them from jumping around everywhere. Adam shifted once again and sat up a bit against the pillows.

"You guys are the best team anyone could ask for."
