Ty's face flushed red as well. "I fell..." he said awkwardly, though loosening his grip on her. "I'm sorry," he said calmly, "We can stop." He kissed her nose, then playfully ruffled her hair a bit with a small grin.

"No harm done, I hope. I really wasn't aiming towards the bed but at least we didn't hit the floor." He chuckled lightly, letting the subject drop there. "I'm proud of you, ya know that?" he asked with a smile. She'd shown so much improvement at showing emotion, and she hadn't even tried to hit him yet.

Tses slowly wiggled so she was sitting next to him, tucking her legs under her and wrinkling her nose as he kissed it. She felt some of the nervousness slip away as she did, and the color calmed on her face. She made a face as he messed up her hair, and reached up with her hand to flatten it Then she flicked him on the nose and stuck her tongue out.

"No harm done. At least not yet. If you ever drop me on the floor though, there will be some major remodeling for us to do after I try blasting you through the door." She warned, eyes glimmering. then she smiled, and kissed him on the cheek. She moved so her back was against the wall and leaned into it, tilting her head to the side. "Why are you proud? I didn't think I did anything pride worthy." She chuckled a little, loosing some of her shyness.

Ty smiled at her. "I'd never drop you on the floor. If the bed hadn't have been here I'd have made sure to break your fall," he said softly, wrinkling his nose when she flicked it. The kiss on the cheek made him smile more as his color faded.

"Plenty. You've gotten braver, and alot better with your emotions. I mean, look, it's almost dark out." He motioned to the window. "It was different, and I gotta say, up until I fell, I loved it. Especially with the new sense of danger that comes with it."

Ty winked, putting his hand on hers. "I think we've grown alot since we first started dating."

Tses chuckled slightly, and narrowed her eyes at him as he commented on her emotions. Then she smirked at the last comment, and her hand glimmered momentarily. "What was the first hint? Not having anything thrown at you? I'm working on it at least.... I can't promise there won't ever be any uh, incidents. But I'm trying..." She smiled more naturally then, and the glow went away. She glanced down as it did though, and frowned ever so slightly.

"That does seem to be happening more often though... I need to watch my emotions. The last thing I need to to accidentally blow something up." She remarked. So far all she'd done was glow at odd moments, but powers were unpredictable at best. The last thing she needed was to start releasing explosives in her sleep or something. Exploding pillows were one thing, but if she dropped one in a bottle or a cup?

Definitely would have some negative consequences.

"Thanks for staying with me for a while though." She said suddenly, and held his hand with hers, turning it so her fingers tangled with his. "I feel ... calmer now." The shadows that seemed to plague her had mostly vanished for now.

Ty smiled, nodding a little. "That, and the way you took initiative at first there. It confirmed that there is hope for us after all. It means so much to me that you're trying." He looked at her glowing hand, and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah...that could prove dangerous," Ty murmured. With a smile he added, "Though still worth moments like that." He winked, moving to sit beside her and leaning back against the wall as she took his hand. He loved how their fingers linked together, like the two of them belonged that way.

"It was no problem, and I'm glad," he replied, leaning over and nuzzling into her neck. "I wouldn't trade you for anything," he whispered.

Tses didn't say anything back right away, just shrugged her shoulders to him. She wanted to be brave, but it was new and strange to her. She didn't want to rush things because she felt sad, but some part of her knew they had to take the opportunities whenever they presented themselves, because any moment she would loose her nerve, and it would be like transforming back into girl-friend-zilla all over again. His hang felt nice in hers, and as he moved back beside her, she giggled slightly as he nuzzled into her neck.

"Hey that kinda tickles." She chuckled, and scooted away slightly. "You better watch it. I'll have to retaliate." She warned, but she was smiling happily at his comment. It made her feel good. Like she was doing something right regardless of all the sadness.

"Tickles? Just be glad I don't pounce and tickle you like you've done me," he teased lightly, poking her side like she'd done him.

"It's worth taking my chances," he replied with a smile before lightly planting his lips against her neck, then resting his head on her shoulder. His thumb stroked her hand gently.

Inside, Ty felt almost like he was floating, like nothing bad had happened prior to this. Like nothing else even mattered right now. It was just the two of them, in their own little world. He noticed he was wearing the shirt she'd given him, and he smiled a little bigger.

"No matter what happens, times like these are always worth it..." he whispered.

Tses wiggled from his poke and stuck her tongue out at him, then sighed slightly as he kissed her neck, melting the playfulness. It was sending her emotions back through a roller-coaster of feelings, and wasn't quite sure where to settle. He might have been floating, but she was tumbling in happiness, sometimes feeling the prickle of fear in her mind, but mostly just lost in some cute and fuzzy place. She felt like a teenager who didn't want to admit they liked a kids show from their past; she was a tough punk who didn't want to admit she liked these cute little couple moments.

"I think all the moments like this are nice though... the cute slow ones, the fun playful ones... I like all of them, and the happy scramble between them." She remarked, and turned her head to kiss him on the forehead. Then she snuck her free hand over and jabbed him in the side. Part of her was being a brat. Part of her didn't want to fall asleep again, because then her fear would taint the happiness she was feeling now.

Ty smiled softly, closing his eyes at the kiss on his forehead, then letting out a very un-manly "EEP!" when she poked him again, leaning over slightly. An almost evil grin came to his lips, coupled with the usual insane gleam in his eyes. '

"So that's how you wanna play it," he murmured, before playfully pouncing on her and lightly jamming his fingers into her sides, tickling her. Though he had no idea whether or not she was ticklish so this could either be really fun or really embarrassing.

Tses didn't peg herself as being a ticklish person, but the sudden attack did manage to drag a very girlish squeal from her as she fell back into the feathers, trying to squirm away from his poking. The feathers brushing her skin only seemed to make the 'attack' stronger, and she squirmed and laughed, trying to wiggle away under the covers. "Hey, no fair! I never said you were allowed to tickle back!" She remarked, and tried to jab back at him. Her eyes had a glimmer that said this means war all over them, and the smile that spread across her face while she laughed was both genuine and mischievous at the same time.

"I refuse to let you win!" She declared and tried her best to keep the blankets as a shield and send retaliation tickles into his sides. feathers fluttered into the air as she kicked them up and she sneezed slightly as one brushed her nose. It looked like a couple children had a pillow fight rather than two adults trying to have a bonding moment. But something about Tses made her childlike at times, especially when she had fun. It was something new and different to her, and she embraced it when it came.

"If I did what I was allowed we never woulda kissed, nor would I be your boy--FRIEND!" He squealed when she tickled him back and retreated under the covers. He skittered back away from her tickles before yanking back the covers and quickly pouncing again, going straight for her sides.

Little did she know, Ty was ticklish practically everywhere, not that he would admit that. He loved this; they were just like a couple of children right now, but he didn't care. Seeing her smile like this, hearing her squeal and laugh...it was perfect.

"Hey, I gotta win something" he teased, winking at her.

Somewhere in the middle of the tickling, Tses let out a noise that she thought would make the world reverse direction. She giggled. It wasn't just a small giggle either, or a little slip up; she let out a full out, girlish giggle that sent her burying her face into the blankets and exploding with laughter. As unmanly as Ty was when he got tickled, that was how girly Tses was about it. Under attack, she moved from attack mode to retreat, trying just to seek shelter from him.

"No....fair!!! You're not allowed to win! I don't care ---"*giggle*"----What you do! I shall have victory!" She threw the blanket over his head and tried to duck around him to get away, slipping on a few feathers as she did.

Ty smiled bigger when she giggled, and then he found himself in the dark as the blanket was thrown onto him. Trying to get out, he ended up getting more and more tangled as he flailed, laughing, suddenly hitting the floor as he rolled off of the bed and hitting the floor. Sure, it hurt a little, but this was too much fun.

Finally squirming out of the blankets, he stood to his feet, shaking his head with a smile as he approached her. "I'll meet you halfway," he replied. "Tie?" He smiled softly, stepping forward a little more. He was prepared for her to decline, just in case. He had to admit this was a new kind of rush; it seemed like today was full of those. Or tonight. Or whatever time it was, he'd lost track.

As Ty fell off the bed, Tses quickly skittered out of his reach and backed up in the corner where the bed and the two walls met. Her face was pink and flushed with the rush, but she still had a gleam in her eye of mischief. "You're not allowed to tie. You have to win fair and square and I ain't lettin' you do that yet!" She remarked stubbornly, and stuck out her tongue. She tossed one of the stuffed animals at him, and crossed her arms.

"You better watch it though. I'm on defense now and I'm not gonna let you just win easily anymore. You got laughter by pure coincidence. I am not that ticklish normally." she was lying, totally and utterly lying. But she didn't mind. She was trying hard to throw him off his game. If there was a game to be thrown off of... this was a rather odd thing to play because there were no rules, only victory and defeat.

Ty smiled rather evilly, approaching her. "Suit yourself~" Suddenly, he ran forward, seeing how she was between the bed and the walls. She was pretty well cornered he thought. So he rushed at her, aiming to dig his fingers into her sides again.

He had to admit this was his first tickle-fight, and it crossed his mind that there were in fact no rules. Though that meant declaring a winner would be near impossible. But hey, like everything else, he was just going to enjoy the ride.
