"I can't do that," she said with a slow shake of her head. "He might be a pain sometimes but he means well, you know" She fought the urge to pull back from the other girl's hand, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"You're having a little too much fun with that, aren't you?"

She shrugged. "If ya don't like the guy, there's no use staying with him, nice or not." Gypsy looked at her a minute. "And I like your hair." She smiled at her, a real smile.

"I just don't want to hurt him," she continued, trying to justify her reasons for staying with him. "Besides, maybe he'll grow on me. Maybe I'm just scared and need some time to adjust. Maybe..." her voice trailed off as she inhaled slowly.
"I'm sorry, I'm talking too much."

"Maybe," Gypsy scootched to sit on the edge of the trunk, so their knees bumped. "Maybe you should just forget all about the guy. He'll be fine. Plenty a' broads around here, anyway."

"What are you trying to get at?" She asked slowly, her voice low. Was she really that bad at disguising it? If this girl, who up until a little while ago was a complete stranger, could see right through her what's so say that the other's couldn't too?
"I.. I don't think I follow," she continued, trying her best to play it off.

"Honey, please." Gypsy smirked. "You know damn well what I'm getting at." She tugged a piece of Fire's hair, letting her thumb brush just by her ear. "I just spent three months with a bunch of lonely, jaded girls. Not to mention all the other times I was in the Refuge. I'm not stupid."

Fire let out a soft sigh as chills raced down her spine when she felt Gypsy's thumb graze her ear. "I don't know what you're talking about," she whispered. If this was a battle of wits, she could feel herself already starting to lose.

"Just 'cause you're pretending around everybody else, doesn't mean you gotta keep it up with me." Gypsy traced her finger along the shell of Fire's ear, rather enjoying this little game she decided she was playing. "Deny it all you want, honey. Doesn't change anything."

"What are you getting out of all of this?" Fire finally asked, trying to wrap her head around why someone else could appear to be so interested in getting her to admit to what she was being accused of.
"What do you expect me to say to you, Gypsy?" she asked in between nervous breaths. Nothing, not even the alcohol, could seem to ease her mind right now.

"Hey, honey, I'm just trying to do you a favor. You seem all upset and uptight and all that. Figured it'd do you some good to know I get it." She brushed her thumb along her cheek, smirking. "Just tell me what you're thinking, Fire. No harm in that, right?"

"You want to know what I'm thinking?" She asked softly, her eyes meeting with Gypsy's again. "To be completely honest, I'm wondering whether or not I can trust that what I tell you to stay in this attic between you and I."
She licked her lips slowly as she tried to gather her thoughts, her eyes still locked with the other girl's. "People don't always take kindly to differences, so sometimes it's better to just keep them under wraps. Things are less complicated that way."

Gypsy listened to her, fingering her hair as she did. "Honey, there's a lot about me people don't know, and I intend on keeping it that way." Gypsy could be a high-maintanance bitch, but she knew how to keep a secret. Until it came in handy, anyway. "So I get it." She smirked. "Plus...secrets can be fun every once in a while. Makes things interesting. So whatever happens in the attic, stays in the attic."

"What happens in the attic stays in the attic," she agreed, her head nodding slowly. "If anyone ever says anything, though, I'm going to deny the whole thing..." She wasn't sure, in the event that others found out about this, whether people would believe her or Gypsy, but she wasn't about to let that stop her from at least trying to hold her ground.
"If you don't tell on me," she continued as her hand lightly brushed over hers, "I won't tell on you."

The corner of Gypsy's mouth turned up, a brow raising on her forehead. She turned her hand over so she and Fire were palm to palm. "I think I can live with that. Can you?"

She nodded slowly as she glanced down at their hands. She closed her hand around Gypsy's slowly, "I'm pretty sure I can live with it."
