AN: I'm really happy about the progress of my muse for this ship. So yay Chapter 5! Let's start the denials! Lol!

I think I want you more than want
And no I need you more than need
I want to hold you more than hold
When you stood in front of me
I think you know me more than know
And you see me more than see
I could die now more than die
Every time you look at me

- Never Seen Anything Quite Like You, The Script

The Parr residence had been quiet for awhile now. Well, maybe except for Dash's rambles about the new competition he was competing. When everyone else was asleep, Helen walked towards Violet's room. It was pretty much empty. Her other stuffs were there but it felt empty for Helen. She remembered when Violet was a little girl. When she would show Helen her powers and smile bright. She remembered the nights where they'd argue about school and other stuffs. She remembered that night when Tony left Violet. She was laying on her bed, curled into herself, and Helen knows she was crying. She hugged her little baby girl tight that night. And now she's living alone to be an adult somewhere. Bob was watching Helen. "She's fine, honey." he assured her. But Helen wished they'd never grow up. She wished.

After few weeks.
The clouds that day were dark and taunting. Few crackles of thunder can be heard from the distance. "Don't blame me about the weather." the boy sitting behind Violet whispered. He and his seatmate were arguing about the weather. He's the one who controls the weather, that's his power. But sometimes the weather has a mind of its own. After class, Violet was going through her stuffs. "What are you looking for, Vi?" Antonette asked.
"I forgot my umbrella in the apartment, darn it." she muttered. She was already having a headache this morning and getting wet in the rain might trigger a flu.
And then it started, tiny raindrops pour outside. Soon it turned to big droplets of water. Antonette headed to the dorm while Violet waited for the rain to stop. But from the looks of it, it won't stop.
"Damn it." Violet decided to take her chances and ran through the rain. She wasn't even halfway from the apartment and she's already wet. She was dripping wet when she stood at the apartment's door.
"Hey, don't splatter water across the floor." Buddy said. She didn't reply and simply walked to her room, then to the bathroom.
Violet spent almost an hour in the bathroom. She was sitting in the bathtub and staring at the ripples of water. The rain didn't stop. It kept pouring and pouring and thunder and lightning covered the sky.
Violet felt her head pounding and she felt cold. After taking a bath, she laid on her bed, curled with her covers and pillows.
After a few hours, Violet was still in her room. Buddy was staring at her door and battling himself whether to knock or just leave her alone.
She's probably going to kill you if you do it you know, he thought. Buddy bit his lips and decided to go for it.
Knock. Knock. There was no answer.
"Hey, Parr. It's already dinner and you haven't come out." he said. There was no answer.
Buddy held the doorknob and slowly turned it. It's open. Wow, that's a surprise.
When Buddy peeked, it was dark but the light outside somehow made him see her.
She was covered from toe to shoulder and shivering.
Buddy slowly walked towards her bed and kneeled down to her level.
"Hey, Vi." he said.
Violet shivered and her breath was hot.
"Vi, are you alright?" he asked.
"D-do... You.. think... I... look... alright?" she said.
Still snarky. Buddy thought. He touched her forehead with the back of his hand. She's hot.
"Geez, Vi. You're hot." he suddenly felt a panic and opened her lamp, which was on the night stand.
Buddy went to the bathroom and grabbed a damp face towel and folded it.
He put it on Violet's head.
"What do you feel, Vi?" he asked.
"I feel... cold." she shuddered.
Buddy was thankful that he made soup for dinner instead of that other recipe crap.
He came back with a bowl of soup and sat beside her. Well, not technically beside her, he was sitting on the floor and she was laying on the bed.
"I made some soup. It'll make you feel better." he said. Violet sat up and held her bowl.
"Careful, it's hot." he warned.
Violet's hands were shaking. Buddy noticed. "Let me." he said and knelt up to help her.
"You know I never thought supers get sick." he chuckled.
Violet only lets out a small smile.
After finishing her soup, Violet was fast asleep. She was murmuring things and still shaking. Buddy stared at her from her doorway.
That night Buddy didn't sleep in his room. Hell, he didn't sleep at all. He kept Violet's door open and he was on the couch, watching late night movies.
He was afraid of what might happen. Y'know, incase her powers kick in because she's sick. Things like that. Besides, I couldn't just let her stay alone while she's sick.

I just couldn't.

The buzzing sound of his clock woke Buddy up. He's going to leave for a few hours. He glanced at Violet's room. She was still sleeping. He walked as quietly as he could and looked if she's still shivering. She seemed calmer now. Those angelic face that looked just like her mother. Her long raven hair was scattered all over her pillow and her red lips looked soft. Darn it, Buddy. What are you thinking?
He rubbed his face with the palm of his hands and scratched his head.
He made another soup for her and place it on the table beside her bed.

It was past 12 when she woke up. She's feeling a bit well and somehow the meds that Aunt Minny gave her helped. She noticed the soup beside her bed and smiled. There was a note.
"Hey Vi, I didn't want to wake you up so... I just left the soup there. To make you feel better. See you later. - Buddy"
Somehow it made her smile. Wait... smile? Violet Parr, what are you thinking?
You know maybe he changed. Like for real.
Are you serious?
Yes, I am.
Then tell me how will you tell your dad?
I don't know... maybe... not just now.

The internal conversation stopped in her head. She took a sip of the soup and smiled. This tastes so good.
Violet texted Antonette why she wasn't at school today.
Violet didn't want to stay on her bed. Instead, she laid down on the sofa and watched television.
She didn't have to worry about school. She finished all of her homework.

Buddy came home to an open television and a sleeping Violet.
From the looks of it, she had regained some strength... and was eating popcorn instead of veggie soup.
Silly girl. Buddy went to his room to continue working with his project.
It was a beam gun. NSA wanted new weapons to help them in some cases. He was fiddling with it. And Buddy purposely kept his door open, just in case Violet felt anything again
"Darn it." he said. His skype was open and he was talking with Alfred. "Did you fix the internal receptor?" Alfred asked.
"Yeah, I did." he replied before shaking the prototype again. It kept whirring and whirring but the beam wouldn't produce anything.
Violet slowly woke up. She headed to the kitchen and noticed that Buddy was working on something.
"Hey." she greeted. Buddy jumped in surprise. "Bud? Who's there?" Alfred asked. He immediately shut close his laptop.
"Hey... How are you feeling?" he asked.
Violet smiled. "A little better."
"That's good news."
"What are you... doing?" she asked.
Buddy looked at the beam gun. "Oh, the agency assigned us to make new weapons... for them, of course." he inquired.
"By the way, Buddy... I.. was... I.. Thank you... For... the soup." she whispered, looking shyly at her toes.
"Oh.." that was the only thing Buddy could come out at first. "It's... alright."
"I guess... I'm going to get back to.. my 'lair' now." she chuckled. Buddy joined her laughter.
His eyes followed her to her room.
"Buddy? Bud?" Alfred kept calling. "Hey, Buddy-o. Where are you?"
Violet took one last glance at Buddy, who was still looking at her, before shutting her door.
"Buddy? Earth to Buddy, hello."
Buddy immediately opened his laptop. "Hey... I was.. I'm sorry."
"What was that anyway?" Al asked.
"Nothing... It was... nothing." he smiled.

Violet felt her heart pumping very fast. That was... unusual.
She could see her cheeks turn red and hid them with her hands.

Violet was walking around the campus with Antonette. "Someone looks happy." Antonette teased.
Violet wanted to hide her face. "Stop it, An." she grinned and gave her a friendly push.
"Hey, Violet." the two stopped their tracks and looked at Jonah.
"I heard you got sick. How are you feeling?" he looked concerned. Violet couldn't form a word as she stared at him.
"I'm actually... fine.. now." she replied.
"Good to hear. I wanted to come by your apartment but-"
"Oh no, Jonah. That's not... really necessary." she replied.
"I wanted to make sure you're alright." he smiled.
"Violet, I think my auntie's calling me. Be right back." Antonette said, signaling Violet an okay sign. Violet knew what she meant.
"So..." Jonah shoved his hands in his pockets as he looked at her. "Do you... want to have some dinner?"
Violet was stunned. "D-dinner? W-with you?"
"Yeah." he chuckled. "There's a very nice Italian restaurant just few blocks from the uni. Maybe tonight?"
"Really, Jonah?"
"Yeah... Really." he gently took Violet's hand and kissed the back of it, like what gentlemen do. "See you later, darling."
Violet froze. Did he really call her darling? And they are going out on a dinner?
She was pulled back to reality when she heard Antonette squealed and grabbed her arm like she's going to break it in excitement.
"Oh my gosshhh. You are going out with Jonah! That's so cool!" she rambled. "Violet, you are the luckiest woman in the university!"
"Antonette. Is that really real?"
"Yes, it's real! You have to tell me the details after, promise me!"

Buddy came home late and when he arrived at the apartment, Violet was already dressed. She was wearing a blue floral dress and her hair was pulled into a bun. She was wearing a light make up. She looked beautiful. Very beautiful.
"Are you... going out?" Buddy asked.
"Um.. Yeah. A friend... asked me out." she smiled.
Darn... those angelic smiles. Buddy stared at her like she was the most beautiful thing in the world. Like she's some angel sent by heaven.
"Please don't come home late." he simply said.
"You sound like my dad." she chuckled.
"That's actually an insult."
"Yeah. I know."
"Violet!" Buddy heard the call and turned to see Jonah.
"Jonah." Violet waved her hand and walked down towards him. Buddy was about to get inside but Violet grabbed his hand. "Hey, Buddy. Keep yourself out of trouble."
Buddy weakly smiled and nodded.
Violet ran towards Jonah and walked with him side by side.
What is this feeling? Buddy thought. He felt... pain? Angry? Regret?
He sighed and closed the door. Maybe if you were brave enough to swallow your ego and tell her she's beautiful, you won't be regretting by now.
You are beautiful, Violet. You are beautiful.
