I think it has finally dawned on Tyler that they both feel the same way XD. He's a bit slow when it comes to those things -)

Tyler looked at her. Yes, he was too stubborn. Always have been always will be. Tyler listened to what Andi said, getting more surprised, sad, and astonished at each word. "Well if I hadn't walked into your life none of the things that happened to you WOULD have happened..." Tyler trailed off. "For one... you're not going to die because I'm here. I may have caused some bad things but there is no wa I would let you get more hurt then you already are. For two, I think I just realized we may feel the same way." Tyler thought about that for a second, making a face. "Before I met you I really was worse off than I am now. I was much ruder and ddn't care about anything... with the way I had been treated, I wished I could just die in battle or something. Same as you, after I met you I knew I had to stay alive because it would at least make someone sad if I died then. The lesson here... we both care about each other and no one is gonna die." Tyler finished with a tiny smile, only because he was so shocked at how horrible he was at this. 'no one is gonna die' great lesson.

Oh my god yes! Finally his stubborn brain got it XD)

Andi stayed silent while she listened to Tyler speak. She let there be a silence once he finished "I want you to know I don't blame any of the bead things that have happened since we met on you. I just see that as the universe testing how far we would go to truly care for eachother... And I think tonight proved it." She was really struggling trying to fin the right words even if talkign was somewhat easy for her she didn't want to mess up anything she was saying "I'm glad you finally realize that and what you just said proves my own thought I had a while back, that you trly did care for me. Even I am annoying and stubborn at times." She smiled softly finally as the tears stopped draining down, she held back a small chuckle which turned into a snort at his last comment "Yes and no one is gonna die, you have a wonderful way with words" She said looking up at him with a teasing gaze

FINALLY) *yes, and no one is gonna die... you have a wonderful way with words* I read that sentence and just cracked up.

Tyler nodded, though he kept quiet. He was a *if I start it I will finish it* kind of person, and he did that. Tyler may have almost gotten Andi killed multiple times but he also rescued her a couple times. "Yes, I'm glad I realized that too." Tyler snorted, a small smile on his face. Yes... she was annoying and stubborn 'at times'... but Andi was absolutely amazing... so there. "i know I have a wonderful way with words, thank you" Tyler refused to meet her gaze, knowing that was a tease but not accepting it. He knew he was the worst talker in the world... Tyler hated speaking, mostly because it was difficult. How was he supposed to magically know what to say when his friend starts crying? *I dunno*

Lol I mean it's true

Andi leaned a little more into Tyler feeling more relaxed, she did watch his face though to see if he was getting uncomfortable. "Oh your welcome" She said with a amused tone, she huffed slightly seeing that he wasn't going to meet her gaze so she just put her head back down on him. She took a deep breathe and closed her eyes for a second "All jokes aside you really do have a way with words... You can get me to cheer up with seconds of just talking." She kept her eyes close and yawned "No one could do that before usually it took me just bawling my eyes out to get myself to finally just calm down" She was embarrassed to admit it but it was true

Tyler took this time to attempt to not burst out laughing at Andi's comment. "Well no offense, but you're just weird then. Me saying 'well... im here... and we're not gonna die' is calmer then something else? I guess we're just a match made in heaven, then." Tyler joked, trying not to laugh, just letting out a chuckle.

"I mean it's a straight up answer, better than a sugar coated one y'know" She said with a smile "And yes we are a match made in heaven.. literally" She chuckled slightly at his joke before yawning again

Tyler wrinkled his nose slightly at that thought. It was true... he hated when people did that. You are sitting there, tied up and bleeding on the floor. *Is everything gonna be okay* you ask. The other person answers... *Oh yes sweetie, everything will be perfectly fine. Nothing bad will ever happen* HOW could they lie like that? You are literally TIED TO A CHAIR BLEEDING OUT and you say nothing bad will happen. Tyler just absolutely hated when people did that.

Andi closed her eyes once more, all the talking wore her out. She shifted slightly, if Tyler didn't want her leaning up against him, he would have moved her a long time ago. Also she was too comfortable at the moment to want to move. She yawned before slowly drifting into a soft sleep

Tyler glanced down at Andi before smiling slightly, looking back out at the window. She needed sleep, so he would do everything he could to let her have it.... including being still and quiet. Tyler let his head flop back against the couch, and he closed his eyes, hoping to drift off also

Their character development is great, they went from threatening each other to being trauma buddies lol

Andi didn't stirr once as she was leaned up into Tyler. She was warm with his arm wrapped around her and most of all she felt safe to close her eyes for the first time in awhile. She had a small smile resting on her face as she slept peacefully going into a deeper sleep
