"Was I this bad?" Theo asked as he watched his brother and Claire talk to each other.
It was awkward and mildly amusing since he has never seen his brother acts this way in front of girl. Lu was often the charming and easy going one.
"No, worse," Lily said next to him.
"I was? I couldn't be that bad…."
Lily laughed softly.
"No, I just had to wait. You took your time. RJ and Dom got a kick out of it."
"I wasn't slow…I mean…you didn't say anything. I thought that you were interested in Casey!"
"I love Casey like a brother. He was new and I was being friendly," She said.
"In my defense, you are nice and friendly to everyone. It was hard to figure out if you were flirting or not."
"Casey thought that I was flirting," She pointed out.
He knew that. Casey told him later that she shot him down which was kind of amusing and hopeful. He wasn't about to approach Lil then. First off, she is his best friend. Second off, he wasn't an idiot. His brother made an excellent point that he was grumpy when things don't work in his favor.
He has gotten better at that over the years much to amusement of others.
He knew that it was part of growing up. His brother liked to say that growing up sucked. He really did have a good point.
"Casey thought the old lady was flirting but she really wanted a free pizza," He said.
"Theo!" She laughed.
"What?" He said with a grin.
"That is just a little mean."
"You thought the same thing."
"Maybe a little."
He turned his attention back to his brother who was flailing over something which caused Claire to giggle. The others were right. They didn't realize that they were acting like a couple. That is probably why the made such an amusing couple.
"Do you think they will say anything to each other?" She said.
"Hopefully…maybe? I'm not going to say anything until I'm asked. If my brother wanted an answer out of me, he knows where to find it," He said.
She nodded her head.
"You're right. It takes time. They are going to figure it out, I think."
"Or someone is going to lock them in a closet."
"Zack told you that?"
"No…I think that it is Mystic Force. Vida called it first."
"Well…Claire should be able to unlock it….maybe?"
"Magic isn't my thing."
"I'm not touching it either."
"…"
"…"
"I hope that it is a joke," He said.
"Me too," She said.
"…"
"…."
"Fran told me that they were going to lock us in a closet if I didn't say anything after Dai-Shi."
"Really? I don't approve of it…but I'm glad that you said something."
"Me too."
Slowly, he slipped his hand into hers. She looked over and squeezed it slightly. They turned their attention to his brother and Claire who were now sharing some cookies. He smiles slightly.
He was pretty sure that they will figure out.
Maybe, they won't but as long as they are happy.
He was good. They were good.
Life's good.
