((Note: Grammar mistakes and errors are present on this drabble but this is written for fun. Thanks for understanding and enjoy reading.))

Kali couldn't believe Rex said that to her. He liked liked her! He really liked her!? HER of all people!! She was sitting down to take all this in, looking at the table to be sure she's not dreaming. Well, resulting in her cheek being a slight pink from slapping herself to be sure she's awake. This was no dream that means he was speaking the truth or she hopes he was.

However, she got word that Rex is okay from the accident attack. He was healing so it was fine but she felt bad to do that. Yeah, she was mad but she didn't want to do that to him. For now, she looks to wonder about him. Was he alright? Was he at home or somewhere else.

Thinking about it, she stood up to look down. She had to talk to him. She had to figure this out. Kali heads out of the living room of their base that Wes noticed to look over to her.

"Uhhh where are you going Kali? Is something wrong?" he asked as the others looks to her.

"No, I..I need to head out to talk to someone. I'll be back later." She said but turns to leave that left them confused. They wonder what that could be about? It had to be important if she tells them she'll be back later. Kali did leave but she was heading to Greenwitch village, Rex's territory in New York City.

~~Meanwhile in Greenwitch Village~~

"Hmm? Kali, what are you doing here?" Winter saw Kali showing up but she had her arms crossed over her chest to look at Winter.

"...I need to talk to Rex. Is he here?" she asked with Winter looking at her with a eyebrow raised.

"Yes. Sensei is in the small back house meditating right now. Why? Was their something wrong?" she asked even if she looks to Kali remember she accidentally cut him with her own Sabres. "Though, if your wishing to ask for a spar, he is recovering still. He can't fight you right now." Winter felt a bit upset when she did that to him but Kali remembers to look down.

"No, I'm not here to ask for a spar, just to talk to him. That's all I wanna do." she said but Winter was unsure. She didn't want them to fight even now due to him resting. "I just wish to talk to him that's all.."

"....And nothing is wrong that your this eager to speak with him?" Winter said.

"No, nothing is wrong I just need to talk to him. Is that alright?" she didn't look at Winter but the fallen winter maiden keeps looking to her then sighed with eyes closed.

"If you wish to speak to him you can....He's in the back as I said in the back house.." she said but Kali looks to her and relaxed.

"Thank you." she mutters and hurries along to where he was. Winter looks seeing her walk off but she goes to do her own thing so they can speak in private.

~~~~~~~~~~

Rex was sitting to drink some tea alone, already looking down at the cup as he was having his dreadlocks in a pony tail by a black strong keeping it together. He was lost in though, already wearing a new shirt while he was treated for the injury Kali gave him.

He was healed true but he was a bit sore while savoring the quiet moment. The girls were out since he told them to keep a eye out just in case since he's grounded for a while to recover. "......." he was about to move and get some food when hearing a knock. "???" Rex gets up slowly to head to the door.

"Hello? Who is-" he reaches to open it and see who it was. Standing there was Kali who was looking quiet and down at the ground. He said nothing to sense her aura before he sighed to look at her.

"Kali? What are you doing here?" He asked in a quiet tone but she looks down only to then look up at him being silent.

"Ummm, would it be possible to talk to you? It's...important." she mutters under her breath even if Rex looks to her with arms crossed. "I know you might not wanna talk but I...need to talk to you. I'll just say what is need to then I will leave. Is that fair?" she looks up to him as Rex looks to her that he sighed, turning to move so Kali can come in.

She follows him inside to carefully close the door behind her. So this was his small meditation back house. It looked pretty cozy and it was designed just like the main house. She saw it was almost like a small house for two people but he goes to sit back down at the table to where his tea was. He offers a seat for her who walks over and sits down as he pours some tea for her.

"......."

"Alright Kali, what did you wish to talk to me about?" he asked looking at her with a quiet expression on his face. She looks down at the table but was thinking on how to say this to him. Even accidentally attacking him like that, it didn't compare to what he said to her.

"....I..." She was acting shy now when what she said but it leaves her silent to sigh with eyes closed. "I wanted to say sorry for before. I didn't mean to slash you like that. I just..i was just angry from the whole thing but...I'm still shocked you told me you..."

"Liked you." He said to see her nod slowly as Kali picks up the cup to drink some of the tea. She did wonder if he was alright after but saw him drinking some of his own hot tea.

"Yeah. I am shocked you told me you like like me even after what happened even when I was shouting at you I just..I'm still sorry for that. I never meant to do that...I guess I felt angry from what happened to Ink that it was...a lot. But I still wonder do you really mean what you said when you said you like like me?" she asked with Rex looking up to her but he only lowers the cup to look at her.

"I never lie of what I say to anyone, Kali. So rest assure I meant the truth. I do like like you. I've always liked liked you but I never had the chance to put it into words. That and when you were upset about what was going on of course too." He mutters but Kali said nothing looking down at the table.

"........"

"I'm still hoping you believe me even if you were so angry about all this. I knew you were upset from everything like the cat fishes, the creeps, the dates going wrong. I know and I'm sorry you went through things like that." He drinks some of his tea but lowers the cup.

"I rather see you happy and enjoying your time with someone that really means so much to you. I've always had that wish myself. I know it was sudden but I had to tell you since I always adored you from your strength and just being yourself.." he said simply but she looks to him.

"Even after what I did, you still like like me?" she asked as Rex looks to her but he didn't say much to reach up, touching her cheek. It was gentle that made Kali quiet for a moment. He didn't say much but just held her cheek.

"I told you before, I mean what I said. I don't like lying to my friends..and I don't like lying to you. Your really important to me and seeing you happy tells me your alright. Even now, I feel like you believe me and it's still shocking to hear someone likes you like that." he explains seeing her look down.

"I know it's hard to believe me after so long and you find it hard to find anyone that would like you for who you are. I don't know what I can do to tell you that I mean every word I've said. Even when I said I like like you. Your special to me and even if you were angry your still alright.." He rubs her cheek with his thumb seeing her look at him. The two said nothing but Rex looks to her that he gently kisses her forehead to make her speechless.

He held the kiss for a moment when his lips pull back to look at her. "But, I understand if you don't feel the same way. I will still respect your choice if you..." he started to say but felt Kali touching his hand.

"......Even if everything I said that could have been hurtful and attacked you...you still..." she started to say but Rex looks to hold her cheeks again.

"I still mean what I said. I like like you, Kali and I would be happy if you felt the same."

She was speechless again but he saw her more speechless. He had to say what he said but that's when he sighed to look to the side. "Though, I hope you understand and believe me, Kali. You deserve to be happy like everyone else.."

"...I don't think I do knowing how others find it funny to mess with someone's emotions. I just wanted someone to like me and....maybe show me that they love me." she said that made Rex suddenly pull her against him as she winces to keep her eyes closed. She did open them but the two look at one another for a moment.

However, he said nothing that he only leans in to slowly pull her close and gently kiss her right on the lips. Her eyes were wide from the kiss but she closes them half way while kissing him back resting her hands on his chest carefully knowing he was still healing. The kiss was gentle but careful before they break the kiss. Rex and Kali said nothing but she looks down to keep near him.

"I still am sorry for hurting you.." she mutters.

"It's fine.....I've forgiven you a while back so your alright." he said to hugging her but she relaxed to blush again looking down to hear him ask one more thing;

"Also...I'm hoping this is alright but..would you like to be my girlfriend?" he asked but Kali said nothing to blush again but hug his arm while looking to the side.

"As long as you don't leave my side, then yes. I'll be your girlfriend. But this means your mine too as my boyfriend. Deal?" she asked as Rex sighed to hold her close by his side but a smile was seen.

"Deal." he said to kiss the top of her head but she looks down to relax by him. In the window to see, his team was shocked but finds it cute that Rex admits this but the good thing is he was able to confess and show he means it.

Kali is happy and Rex is happy. One good happy ending for both.

little story about little Eddie and his 2 new friends | word count approx 2.5k | general audience rating | steve and eddie are kids and Wayne is a pushover

Wayne sometimes thinks it was a mistake, not taking in the boy. God no, he would never think of Eddie as anything other than an important and intrinsic part of his life, couldn't be without him, wouldn't want to be.

No, what Wayne worries about is how his readiness to help Eddie feel loved might contribute to the boy's difficulty in making friends.

It was an innocent enough request, Eddie asked for a pet as all young children do. He was so small and so wide eyed, just a scrap of an 8 year old with more feelings than he knew what to do with. Wayne knew he'd never hold up against any request Eddie made but he liked to pretend to himself that he could. And while technically he never pandered to the boy, yes Eddie usually got what he wanted but in a way that suited their means. Or so Wayne tells himself.

8 year old Eddie asked for a pet and a pet is what he got.

Eddie barrelled into the trailer door, backpack swinging off his arm and ready to be thrown into the corner. Planning to shoot off back out the door to do his usual; lift up rocks and inspect whatever bugs he could find, to grab sticks and imagine them as wizard staffs, to let his imagination finally run wild after hours of sitting still at a desk under too bright lights and too busy class rooms. In truth he wasn't really paying attention to the insides of the trailer, expecting it to be the same as always. It took a very pointed cough for Eddie to register that Wayne was unusually home from work, far earlier than normal, and a further loud clearing of the throat for Eddie to pay attention to what Wayne had placed on the kitchen table.

Right in the middle of the table, sitting in a beam of sunlight, was a cage and in that cage was what would soon become, Eddie's very reason for being. He crept up close, almost as if scared that any sudden movements would prove the whole thing to be a cruel illusion. He was brought out of his reverie by a pink nose wiggling at the bars, whiskers attached and twitching as the rest of the rat appeared.

'is he-? is he for real?' Eddie said with a gasp, hands inching towards the door of the cage.

Wayne had to suppress a laugh, trust this boy to be bowled over in wonder at a rat as if it were a puppy. He opened the contraption of the enclosure door and dipped his hand inside, allowing the rat to climb onto his palm. The guy from work assured him that this one was the most tame he had, inquisitive to a fault and oddly enough, desperate to be handled. Quite honestly, the perfect match for his well meaning but excitable nephew-near-enough-son.

'Yeah, yeah kid it's for real. And he's a she.' Wayne lets the rat sniff at Eddie's hands, little pink hands finding a platform on Eddie's palms, clearly holding himself a still as possible but if Wayne knew this boy, and he did, he knows that Eddie is so close to vibrating out of his skin, that containing that much excitement must be killing him.

'I don't care. Wayne, I don't! Can she sleep in my room? Does she know tricks? Can I teach her? What does she like? Can I take her to school? Please! Wayne!' He's started now, words pouring out of his mouth, tripping over himself to try and release every thought entering his brain at lightning speed.

'Woah, there' Wayne says pulling the rat up, cradling it in two hands, 'We got to be kind to her alright? She's only small. Doesn't know what loud noises are good and which are bad, okay?' He watches as Eddie nods vigorously, eyes never leaving the creature. 'Now you promised me you'd look after a pet so that's what's going to happen. She is your responsibility. That means cleaning, feeding and loving, got it?' Eddie nods again, tentatively reaching his hands up, the image of Oliver Twist springs to Wayne's mind.

Wayne comes around the kitchen table, crouches down to Eddie on creaky knees and hands the rat over, filling Eddie's small hands with a heartbeat and fur. Eddie giggles, watching as the rat surveils the new patch of skin its found itself on.

'Tickles, Wayne' and its said with such love and devotion Wayne almost feels his heart break

'Yeah son. She does, doesn't she?'

Of course it takes less than a week and Eddie and Sam are inseparable. As soon as Eddie gets home he's itching for his furry friend, delighting in the way she scampers around the room, over his arms and anywhere she can get. No matter what though, she always comes back to him. She can be digging in to a particularly interesting crevice behind the couch but she'll always come running back when she hears Eddie make a noise.

The thing is, Eddie is a pretty lonely kid. Not for lack of trying, don't get it wrong. Eddie tries to socialise he tries to talk to the other kids in his class, get them involved in his imaginary games and play pretend but being the new kid doesn't really do him any favours. Being the new kid that lives in the trailer park and a penchant for biting to show affection does him even less.

To Eddie, its him and Sam against the world. He can come home and know that his best friend will listen to all his problems, will stay close and won't run away even when he's extra loud or being 'a lot' as his teacher like to tell him. He's so tired of being told to use his 'quiet hands', his 'inside voice' and every other subdued phrase they try to press on him.

This particular day was a hard one, Sally Winters had said that Eddie was 'bad luck' and the word quickly spread around by recess. Eddie had thought he was making some progress with a couple of kids from the class, was thinking today might be the day that he finally got asked to play but that hope quickly got squashed. He had hopped up to the potential friends with a stick in his hand and a notion of being a pirate when they both looked at him like he was a monster, they couldn't get away fast enough. And Eddie couldn't find a place to hide quick enough before the fat and heavy tears fell from his eyes.

It was a long day and home time was his only saving grace.

Wayne knows somethings up, can tell in the way that Eddie isn't even really talking to Sam, hardly looking at the Tv despite the fact that Wayne very purposefully had put the cartoon Lord of the Rings movie on. The sure fire fall back he liked to keep in his back pocket. The trump card to get his kid happy. This time though? No luck. Looking at the kid makes a chasm open up in his gut, deep and full of overwhelming sadness that he just wants to stop, wants to find the solution to make this boy smile like the sun again. They don't talk much for the rest of the night but Wayne makes sure to stay close, stay awake in case he's needed. Eddie spends the time between dinner and bed sitting on the floor, side pressed up against Wayne's leg and playing fetch with bits of Wayne's whittling with Sam, not a word said.

Eddie wakes up the next morning with a plan and a devil may care attitude. Oh so carefully he maintains his usual routine; says good morning to Sam, carts her around the trailer as he washes his face and wanders into the kitchen, placing her in her secondary cage so she can eat breakfast with Eddie and Wayne - Eddie was adamant that they couldn't have meals without her, 'she's part of the family!' and soft hearted fool Wayne Munson agreed and an additional cage was sourced.

When breakfast is finished Eddie begins his usual rigmarole of dragging his feet to get out of his pjs and into his clothes, reluctant to grab his bag and go out the door. Same old protests as Wayne watches him walk out towards the school bus.

What is a new addition to the routine though, is Sam Munson hiding up the sleeve of a school boy and about to go on a secret and very dangerous mission. A mission to survive the school day.

Surprisingly, Eddie manages to keep Sam secret, keep her safe, the whole morning. He came prepared with snacks to make sure she was entertained and happy, he couldn't stand the thought of her being sad, her eyes get so big and her tail droops as well as her ears, it makes the whole of Eddie ache. But no, she's happy, or happy enough at least.

So the morning goes without a hitch, Eddie making noises to cover up any squeaks and keeping a hand in his pocket to reassure Sam, stowed in the pocket of his hoodie. He knows he's seen as 'weird' so what's a few extra noises? They are let out for recess and Eddie breathes a sigh of relief, thinking this is his time to let Sam out, knowing she's desperate for some fresh air. Sure, she's peed in his hoodie pocket, but he can't really tell with it's dark colour and the layer of t-shirt between the wet material and his tummy.

He runs off to his usual corner, stuck between a bush and a tree and gently tips Sam out of his pocket, she scampers around his feet and gratefully accepts a broken off bit of cracker between her hands.

'Thanks for coming with me Sam. Everyone is so mean, its so stupid. I don't care. You are a better friend than any of those losers' He crouches down, hoping to find a twig to play fetch with. A game that he delights in, is immeasurably proud of her for learning it so quickly. 'Gonna find you the best stick Sam. Promise. Best stick for the best friend'

He continues muttering to himself and doesn't notice that he's getting progressively louder after finding a twig and beginning the game. Doesn't register that he's drawn unwanted attention with his happy shouts and encouragement until a body is crashing through the shrub he's hidden himself behind.

Sam doesn't notice either until the unexpected form is right in front of her and she bolts, running as fast as her legs will carry her and Eddie is right behind her, muttering under his breath as he trips over his own feet in an attempt to catch her 'oh shit oh no oh no oh no' He's pushing himself as hard as he can but it doesn't count for much, he never was the fastest. He keeps trying though but then a faster body is accelrating past him, in a evident bee line for Sam.

Without thinking, Eddie lets out a painful 'NO!' terrified of what might happen.

He knows people think rats are dirty, thinks they don't deserve love and don't deserve life. He doesn't want to imagine what this person's intent might be. Sam reaches a dead end up against the wall of the school and the body, the boy, stops infront of her. Scoops her up? Cradles her into his chest? Eddie...Eddie doesn't know what to think, he's prepared to fight this kid but then the boy is looking up at him with curious hazel eyes. Stroking Sam's head gently and with intent.

He holds Sam out, careful with his motions, trying to blow his brown floppy hair out of his face without disturbing the animal in his hands 'is she okay? is she yours? did I hurt her? she looks okay, is she?' Eddie gingerly steps forward and plucks Sam out of the boys hands, gives hera thorough inspection as the other boy continues

'I didn't mean to scare her I swear! I didn't even know you had her! I won't tell, I swear I wont! You know...you shouldn't really have a rat in school. If I promise not to tell can I play with you? I'm Steve'

Holding her close, Eddie squints at the boy, at Steve, and thinks. Thinks about how he looks nice, about how soft his hair looks and how he asked Eddie, Eddie!, to play, that he didn't give him a wide bearth and that he held Sam with such care. It isn't even a hard decision.

They spend the rest of recess together. Eddie shows Steve just how smart Sam. That she can play fetch, that she can run across one arm to the next, over your shoulders without losing balance. That she can twitch her whiskers and it seems like she's laughing at the joke Eddie tells her. That she laughs at the joke Steve tells her! Steve learns that she's named after somebody called Samwise and it doesn't matter that he's a boy because Sam is brave just like Samwise and smart and cares just as much. That Sam is Sam and Eddie is Frodo and together they can take on the world.

Steve asks if he can have a name too and Eddie calls him Legolas, doesn't tell him why. Doesn't say that Steve reminds him of the pretty elves described in the books Wayne reads out loud to Eddie. It doesn't matter, not really.

Recess ends and they shuffle back to the school doors, both of them lagging behind the others.

Eddie steels himself, knows he has to bring his misfortune up so that he can own in, so that his new friend doesn't find out from someone else. 'I'm bad luck you know. Sally...she said it. now everyone wont talk to me. I wont be mad if you don't either. I've got Sam. We'll be oaky! So you can just go, I don't care!' He knows he's getting wound up, he can't stop himself. He just wants the bandaid ripped off so he can start feeling sad quicker, get it over with sooner.

Before he can register is, Steve is wrapped around Eddie in a flash of a hug, careful to keep his tummy away from squashing Sam.

'Not bad luck to me. See you tomorrow Frodo' Steve whispers next to Eddie's ear and shuffles through the school door.

Eddie is in a daze of joy and happiness, thoughts rumbling through his head but none of them sticking as he journey back into his class room. Pure happiness radiating out of his body, he takes Sam out of his pocket and holds her up to his face 'Sam you made my bad luck go away!' kissing her on the forehead as he hears his teacher scream

'EDWARD MUNSON IS THAT A RAT?!'

So Wayne thought the already unpopular kid having a rat would make things worse. Turns out, he was wrong. Very, very wrong. He might have to start pocket inspections before school though.
