"Cassi, do you love me?"

The teen stopped running and turned to look at Leo. She searched his eyes for any signs that he was joking, but found none. In her eyes, he found signs of surprise.

"What kind of question is that?" She asked with a bit of a laugh.

"A serious one that needs and wants an answer." He replied.

"Of course I…"

"Is that you talking, or your crush?" Leo asked, and Cassi looked away.

"I…I don't know." She replied at last.

A soft, gentle breeze blew by the two, catching the tails of their masks and lifting them. Cassi sat down on the grassy hilltop they had reached. Leo sighed sadly, and joined her. This is what he had been afraid of.

"Listen to your heart, Cassi. I want to know how you feel, not how you think you feel." He said softly.

Cassi was silent, but the look on her face told Leo that she was deep in thought, trying to figure herself out. So desperately, she wanted to give him an answer. Even more so, she wanted to give him the answer he wanted to hear. Her tongue longed to say those three simple words, yet she didn't want them to be meaningless if she didn't really feel that way.

"Leo, I…" Cassi started, but he shushed her.

"It's all right, Cassi," He whispered, taking her into his arms, his voice reflecting his sadness and hurt.

After hearing no objection from her, Leo laid down on the grass, gently pulling her down with him. For what seemed like a long time, the two just lay there in silence. Cassi rested her head on his plastron, still searching for answer.

As they stayed there in silence, she could hear every beat of his heart. He loves me, I can hear it in the way he talks, the way he breathes, the way his heart beats. I don't want to hurt him, but do I truly love him?

Leo took her chin in his hand and tipped her head up. Her eyes met his. Both became locked in each other's gazes. They were once again trapped in the magic of the moment, but neither cared.

As if controlled by another force, both moved closer to each other. In an instant, they were locked in a kiss. Both hearts were racing wildly. A new feeling raced over Cassi, and she knew her answer for Leo. She pulled away softly, and looked him deeply in the eyes once more.

"Yes Leonardo, I love you." Cassi whispered.
