"Just thought you should know." Trixie joked, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. As she continued to look at him, she leaned in slightly, hesitating at his uncertainty. She stopped, watching him intently and giving his hand another soft squeeze.

Matt smiled, letting himself still rest against the headboard. He listened to the sounds of footsteps run upstairs, though they died down quickly and seemed to be nowhere near the room they were in. He felt a sense of relief, and without much thought he blurted his next sentence out. "would you pull away if i kissed you?" he asked softly, surprised by his own words. Asking before a kiss seemed strange enough, but this quickly? Even stranger.

Trixie turned her gaze to the door at the sound of footsteps, tensing up and watching the door until the sound retreated. When it did, she relaxed back into the bed, blinking in surprise at the question and bringing her gaze back to his. The question felt so familiar, she almost felt like She remembered something. Same person, same words, same feelings. The sudden rush of deja vu passed and she took a somewhat deep breath. "Kiss me and find out." She answered quietly, tilting her head at him slightly.

Matt watched Trixie instensely, his gaze locked onto hers as he waited for an answer. To his relief the answer was positive, and so he did just that. He leant forward and pressed his lips gently but firmly onto hers, cupping her face as he did so. At that moment he felt a solid familiarity with Trixie, and incredibly passionate towards the kiss. Almost a lot more..turned on by her too. Like this had happened before.

Trixie leaned into him in turn, bringing her hand up to rest in his hair so she could pull him closer slightly. The sudden feeling of... safety washed over her. It was comforting, to feel the familiarity of his kiss. Almost like she had been waiting for it. She tilted her head slightly into his hand, returning the kiss with an equally passionate energy. She gently unlinked her other hand from his, splaying her fingers on his chest instead.

Matt really had to work to pull himself away from the kiss before he let it go even further, purely for the fact more people seemed to be heading upstairs. As he did so, he seemed slightly breathless, and had a sentence balancing on his tongue though it was ridiculus. His brain was telling him "say i love you, thats normal, you've done it plenty of times." but he knew it was dumb. He had never said that to her in the past couple of days, why would he say it now?

Trixie gently settled her head into the crook of his neck when he pulled away, moving to curl her arms around him in an embrace. "I love you." She sighed quietly, more out of instinct than thought. She blinked suddenly once She realized the words that had come out of her mouth, tensing, but staying where she was. "Sorry, I just- uhm-" She raised her head to look at him, panicking slightly as she thought on how to 'fix' it.

Matt had been evenly relaxed after the kiss, content with the fact she settled herself into the crook of his neck. He felt himself tense up slightly at the three word phase that had been balancing on his tongue, and he looked down at her, his mouth open for a few seconds with no words coming out. "Its..fine. I.." He struggled to get his own words out as he comprehended the situation. It felt right to hear it, like it was such a normal thing. "You said exactly what, for some reason, I wnated to say. I..love you too" he finished, looking away and at the wall instead.

Trixie swallowed, relaxing slightly at his first words. "It just- It just came out, I didn't mean to make anything awk-" She stopped and let him speak, offering a slightly nervous smile at his words. Once he finished speaking, she settled her head back into the crook of his neck, gently running her fingers through his hair. "It's nice to hear that." She murmured softly.

Matt shifted a little to sit up more, resting his hand on the top of her head gently. "You didnt make it awkward dont worry. It was just..surprising down t the fact it was also something that was playing on my mind" Matt's tone was soft and low, and he felt much more rleaxed than he had since they arrived in the town.
