Felicity: She's just over protective

Aaron: I don't care.

Felicity: What are you so worried about? I like being with you.

Aaron: I'm not worried. She doesn't know me and she's talking shit.

Felicity: She's just worried about me.

Aaron: [eyeroll]

Felicity: What?

Aaron: She's not worried, she's sticking her nose in.

Felicity: Why do you say that?

Aaron: Because... [huffy] Just because.

Felicity: [look as she wraps her arms around his neck] I don't care what she says.

Aaron: Didn't say you did.

Felicity: And I know what we have. So what she says doesn't matter to me.

Aaron: Fine. I'm just sick of people puttin' their two cents in.

Felicity: They're people. That's what they do.

Aaron: People are morons.

Felicity: Yes, they are. And I think there are better things to do than worry about what people think.

Aaron: I'm not worried!

Felicity: Fine. Talk about it, then.

Aaron: [glare]

Felicity: What?

Aaron: I'm just sayin'.....people don't just....care about everyone like that. It's only a cover to be snoopy.

Felicity: While I will say that Lorriane can be a bit of a snoop, she really does care. She's been with me through a lot.

Aaron: shrugs, he's just being his cynical self]

Felicity: I care about you. Does that count?

Aaron: Wasn't talkin' about that.

Felicity: Then what? Because while how I care about you is different from how she cares about me? It still comes from the same place.

Aaron: [shakes his head] Forget it.

Felicity: No, talk to me. I want to understand.

Aaron: People don't go around givin' a shit what other people do, just because. They either want somethin' or want to start trouble.

Felicity: They do when they're your friends. Or at least in my experience. Yours might have been different.

Aaron: [shrugs]

Felicity: You know that I don't want anything from you but you, right?

Aaron: [is going to interpret that as his body, because it's easier, he smirks] And I give it to you.

Felicity: [headtilt] I meant a little more than that.

Aaron: [gives her a look]

Felicity: [looks away with a bit of a sigh] I can't help how I feel, Aaron.

Aaron: ...I feel hungry.

Felicity: [and that gets him a bit of a look]

Aaron: [doesn't look at her]

Felicity: What are you so scared of?

Aaron: [pshh] Nothing.

Felicity: Then why every time I get around to trying to tell you that I'm in love with you, you always have to change the subject.

Aaron: [backs away]

Felicity: [just watches him, wondering what he's going to do. because yeah, she actually said it]

Aaron: [runs his hand through his hair, turning his back to her] Really do think I should eat something.

Felicity: [looks down, swallowing hard] I wasn't expecting to hear it back. I just was tired of keeping it all to myself.

Aaron: [clears his throat] I'm-I'm going to go. Pick something up, or...or eat at home or...something.

Felicity: [nods as she looks away] Okay.

Aaron: [goes to the door and opens it....then slams it shut, gripping onto the door knob.....opens it again]

Felicity: [waits, watching him]

Aaron: [goes out and slams it behind him, then after a moment or two there are loud thumps of him kicking the wall]

Felicity: [knows she could probably give him some space, but she's worried about him, and moves closer to her front door, trying to figure out if she should follow him or not]

Aaron: [shouts] You weren't supposed to do that! [then he takes off]

Felicity: [closes her eyes and just turns around to sink down against the door]
