Knighthood
Connor has always wanted to be Abby's knight in shining armour.
The only stumbling block is that she never seems to need one. Not that he has a problem with that. In fact, he finds it quite hot that she could, in no way, be described as the damsel in distress. But still. Sometimes he just wants to be her hero. He wants her to look at him like he's her whole world, the way he catches himself staring at her sometimes when he thinks she's not looking. He wants to be more than her geeky friend who comes in handy every now and then but only because of a fluke stroke of luck. He wants to be the Superman to her Lois Lane rather than boring, old Clark Kent like usual. In fact, sometimes he doesn't even feel like Clark Kent. More like Jimmy Olsen. Sometimes he just wants to mean something special to her.
So, when he hands her Rex after his little visit to Jack's mate, he is utterly delighted at the bright grin she gives him. It lights up her whole face and makes her eyes sparkle and he can feel his knees tremble ever so slightly. He can feel his own lips pulling in to a smile.
"Ta-da." He announces proudly as he takes the tiniest bow with a tip of his hat.
"Thanks, Conn. For getting him back." There's that grin again and he's fairly certain he needs to sit down because his knees are threatening to give out.
"I'm a regular super hero, me." He smiles at her and can feel heat rising in his cheeks because she's looking at him like That. He thinks maybe he could sprout wings and fly away; he feels so light. She's looking at him like he's her saviour, like he's finally Superman and he can't remember the last time he felt this amazing. He watches her draw closer and blinks mutely at her.
"Aw," He holds his breath as she leans up slowly, on her tip toes, to peck him on the cheek in thanks. "You're Rex's knight in shining armour."
He has a goofy grin on his face until he hears what she said.
What?
Oh shit.
