Maybe. Or maybe I just won't care because I've missed you.

[there's more truth to the statement than he'd care to admit. over the past months, hayley has become a fixed point in his life. someone he can rely on, even if others don't view her the same way. she's helped him in more ways than he'll ever be able to pay her back for. so the idea of losing it all, of her thing he really doesn't care about her, scares him. he needs hayley to stay a part of his life, even if it means having to beg her to stay there]

Besides, after everything we've done, I'm pretty sure a little sweat isn't going to make a difference.

[considering they'd spent that time holed up together. time involving a lot of 'strenuous activities, of their own. he closes the space between them a little. enough that she's within arms reach now. but he doesn't bridge that gap. doesn't make contact, despite just how much he wants to do something as simple as just hold her. it's hayley's move now. he's not going to push it.]

You missed me? [There's no hiding the small smirk that hits her features. No one ever misses her. Actually, she's pretty sure no one really ever comes back for her the way that Isaac has. Something goes wrong they just find a way to move on without her. It's definitely a new situation and not one that she's really sure how to handle.

Still, she stays where she is. Hayley watches him move toward her and she takes note in the fact that her pulse does get a bit of an increase as he does so. It's a small thing that she'd only noticed recently, but given her recent run it's even more clear to her now. When he's close enough to her, she reaches out and slips her hand to his.]

You keep saying you're not good at the words, but you seem to have a pretty good idea of the right things to say. [Taking a breath, she moves to close that gap between them and looks up at him.]

People might see. [It's his floor. His friends come by. They might not understand.]

[with hayley so close, it takes a moment for him to remember that she's meant to be the one setting the pace. that he was the one who almost messed everything up in the first place. he wants to be the one taking though. wants to close the short space between them. and with his gaze slipping to her mouth, it's all too clear just what's really at the forefront of his mind just then.]

And that's a problem because...?

[before, he may have agreed. back when he'd felt the need to hide just how close the two of them had been getting. back when he knew how the rest of his pack would react. but that was before. that was a time when he hadn't been entirely sure of what to think of hayley himself. when he'd still been caught between not caring about her, not trusting her, and whatever this is now.

whatever it's becoming.]

This is between you and me. Not them.

[She hums softly, the non-verbal response seeming the most fitting one in the moment. Besides, the more he talks the less she wants to talk about any of it. She's never been much for the whole over thinking things part of these situations. Hayley has always been more fond of taking something when she wanted it and right now, standing in front of Isaac she knows what she wants.]

Then we'll keep it between you and me. Just maybe a bit closer than this. [Hayley closes what space remains and leans up to kiss him. It's a return to him, to what they have without actually admitting to what it is that they have.]
