Casey started walking faster, the more she thought about it the more she realized how blind she had

been. 'How could I have not seen it before? I hope I still have a chance.' With that she broke into a

slight sprint. She had to get there before she chickened out. She came to the front of the KT house

sooner then she had expected. 'I must be crazy.' She thought as she knocked on the big door. "Hey

Casey" Beaver said with a smiling face. "Hey, is Cappie around?" she asked looking around for him.

"Ya, he's in his room." She started walking up the stairs before turning around to say, "He's alone

right?" "Ya" Beaver nodded and she continued up the stairs. By the time that she reached his door she

was a nervous wreck. "Here goes nothin'" she said holding her breath as she knocked on the door to

his room. "Good God Beaver can't a man get some alo-" "Casey" he said a little shocked but moving

out of the doorway never the less. "Hey Cap" she said warily looking around as she walked into the

room. "Am I interrupting something?" "No but if you don't mind, what are you doing here?" "I

wanted to talk to you about earlier." She said picking up a random knickknack off one of his shelves.

"Ya about that-" he started looking everywhere but her. "Listen Case, what I said earlier, it was just

a heat of the moment type deal, ya know? Let's just forget it happened. And I mean it's not like we

haven't kissed before so that's really no big deal either. So I if that's all you came here for I think we

pretty much cleared it up don't you? Okay then you have a nice night." He said walking over to the

door and gesturing for her to leave. Casey was crushed and heading out the door when she saw the

look in his eyes. He was scared. She rolled her eyes at him and made her way to the edge of his bed

and sat down, "I don't think so Cap," she said smiling now, "you're not gettin rid of me that easily."

Cappie sighed and closed the door, sitting down on the floor leaning against it. "What do you want me

to say?" he asked looking at her pleadingly with his eyes. "I don't want you to say anything, I want

you to listen, okay?" At his nod she continued, "What happened earlier, the kiss, what you said, it

made me realize why I've been struggling so much not having you around. I need you in my life

Cappie. I don't know how not to have you in my life. I honestly can't remember what my life was

like before I met you." "Pieless" he said with a smirk. She laughed "Not just that though it wasn't

complete, it didn't feel right."

"What about Max, I thought he was perfect." He said looking into her eyes. "He is perfect," she

told him. Cappie looked away. "Let me finish," she said standing from the bed and kneeling next to

him on the floor. "he's perfect but he's not perfect for me, there's only one person in the world that

is perfect for me. One person that knows me better then anyone else and that I always have a good

time with." She said catching his eye as he looked back up at her "You."

Casey leaned towards him and gently pressed her lips to his, it didn't take long for him to respond

and start kissing her back with even more vigor. As they pulled away foreheads still touching looking

into eachother's eyes, "I'm sorry I was such an idiot and I didn't see sooner." Casey said willing him to

see the love for him in her eyes. "I love you Cap." Cappie smiled and pulled her into another longer,

more passionate kiss.
