"What do you mean?" he asked, seeming totally puzzled. The breakdown seemed to have really fried his brain. He keeps his head down, still trying to control his tear ducts. His shaking finally stopped though, which is a good sign.

Serena sighed "I mean... what do you think of me? Am I a friend? someone you like? what? Am I wasting my time... loving you? do you even see me as anything more than a friend?" she asked.

"I do see you as more than a friend. And quite honestly...that scares me." He sighed, rubing his temples with one hand. "As for are you wasting your time, that's up to you."

Serena smiled a bit and dared to look at him. "You do?" she asked, still unbelieving. Nevertheless, a smile grew on her face and she playfully bumped his shoulder with hers "well... I guess... where do you want our relationship to go? we can take it as slow as you want. I don't mind" she asked.

"We're trying slow and look where we're getting. So, maybe we should try a bit faster than what we've been. But, it's up to you," he replied. He shrugged a bit, leaving it up to her. He didn't want to push anything.

Cormac's words sunk into Serena and she mulled over them for awhile. He has a point... but how fast should it be taken? she asked herself. A few moments later, the answer came to her. She looked at him shyly, unsure of whether or not she should do this. She reached forward tentatively and placed her lips on his, waiting for his reaction.

Cormac blinked for a moment then kissed back contently. He was a rare type of person that could be dominant or submissive easily. He waited to see which she'd be more comfortable as.

Serena smiled and pushed more into the kiss. She reached up and placed her hand on his cheek. She pulled back ever so slightly and smiled "I love you" she whispered.

Cormac kisses back, then pauses. "I...," he pauses again. "I love you too..." He sounds awkward as he says it, almost like he hasn't said it in a long time.

Serena's smile got bigger and she let out a small laugh. "Well don't say it if it's going to kill you" she teased, making sure he knew that she was just teasing him. She leaned forward and kissed him again. She enjoyed him, his personality... the way he kisses. "So... will you be my knight in shining armor? or my idiot in Tin foil? either is fine with me" she asked.

"Armour's too expensive, so I'll say tin foil," he teases right back. He turns around suddenly and looks amused. "We're being watched," he murmurs. He rests against her, trying to make whoever's hiding come out, or make noise.

Serena smiled "awesome... I'll be like... the only girl that can say her boyfriend is an idiot in tin foil... it'll be awesome" she muttered and she rested her head on his. "Who do you think is watching?" she asked.

((is he still naked??))

(O_o...Yeah, actually. XD I forgot about that.)

"Kota," he mutters. "I can hear him trying not to squeal. And my lack of clothes probably isn't helping." He'd draped the blanket that was on the cot over him and was curled up so everything was hidden, but he was still naked. "And I think people might think you're insulting me if you call me an idiot in tinfoil," he notes, grinning.

Serena giggled, blushing madly, remembering that he was, in fact, stark naked. "Ohhh, poo. Any girl can have a knight in shining armor, i get an idiot in tinfoil. So much cooler! But if it bothers you, I'll just call you that between us... ok?" she asked.

"If it bothered me I wouldn't call myself it. I just don't want people thinking you're a bad girlfriend for saying it." He glanced down. "Did I really run out here naked? ...I really am an idiot in tin foil." With that a loud squeal pierced the air. "Hello, Kota," he called, though he knew he wouldn't be heard.

Serena protectively cuddled closer to Cormac... ignoring the fact that he was naked. "You're my idiot in tinfoil, though. "Oi! Kota, why're you spying on us?" she demanded to know, speaking in the direction the sound came from.

Kota steps out into view, grinning. "'Cause I wanted to make sure that Macy wasn't hurt." He eyes Cormac. "You need clothes." His tail is swinging back and forth, showing his amusement. Cormac rolls his eyes. "I know. And you need to not be a creeper, you." he didn't seem angry though, he knew Kota would bother them when they came back if he didn't find them.

Serena watched their conversation with amusement. "How about we settle both issues. Kota leaves and Cormac goes to get some clothes" she suggested, fighting the major blush every time she realized that he was... ahem... unclothed.

Cormac groaned teasingly. "I dun wanna get upppp," he replied. "I'm comfy. Hm. Kota. Go to Cass. He'll...well, know what you need." He snorted at that. "And I'll hide myself under the blanket and change. I've done it before."He watched as Kota ran off.

Serena giggled and kissed Cormac's cheek "you're very entertaining, did you know that?" she asked with a giggle. She didn't give him a chance to respond, however, because she leaned forward and claimed his lips with her own. This time she was a touch more passionate.

Cormac kisses back just as forcefully. He shifted closer, to keep from falling. He listens closely for Kota to come back with his clothes.

Serena giggled wrapped her arms around his neck. She was in a state of pure ecstasy. She pulled slightly and mumbled against his lips "you know... for a hermit that's never had a lover before... you are an amazing kisser" she purred, nipping at his bottom lip.

Cormac snickers at that, just before a shirt lands in his face. He pulls it off and stares at Kota. "Really now?" Kota spins around cheerfully. "Yup." He tosses Cormac the pants.

Serena chuckled and backed away so that Cormac could get dressed in peace. She stood up and flicked her hands in a shooing motion towards Kota "shoo, he has his clothes, he's alright, now shoo" she told him, walking towards him in an attempt to push him out the door.

Kota whined. "You're so mean! Oh, Macy. Cassie says he needs to speak with you then. Whenever you want to." He went back to whining at Serena. Cormac hid himself under the blankets. "Oh, joy...he's gonna either gloat or reprimand me. Either was, I'm not going to enjoy this." He poked his head back out when he was done, his hair a mess. It made him look quite cute.
