It's been a few weeks and Juno and Seth have been hanging out everyday after school.

At first they would hop right into talking to the animals, but then Juno realized they need to do their homework as well.

The school year is wrapping up after all.

So their routine now consists of meeting up, doing their homework, playing with woodland animals, and talking.

They have talked about everything. Their home life, school, embarrassing stories, favorite foods, etc.

The only topic that has not been talked about, but has been burning in both their minds is crushes.

Juno wants to ask him but she's doesn't know how, she also doesn't want to hear him say any other name that's not hers.

If he says Journey, she might just kill the girl.

Seth is curious, he's never had a crush before but hanging out with Juno almost everyday, he might have developed one for the young red head. Actually, he know he has and he wants to do something about it.

"I have a question." Seth states putting his pencil down. Juno raises a brow and sets her pen down.

"Ok?"

"You don't have to answer if you don't want to...do you have a crush?" Juno wants to throw up. What is she suppose to say? What if she tells him the truth and he turns her down?

Thinking quickly she reverses the question, "who's yours?"

Seth decides to be bold.

"You." It comes out so quick Juno almost misses it.

"Oh?" She states with wide eyes.

"Oh..."

Maybe being bold was a bad idea. He shouldn't have listened to those boys at school.

Seth looks away and begins to pack his bag. "S-sorry! This is awkward, I get it if you do-I like you too Seth...." He stops what he's doing and looks at Juno in confusion.

"Like like? Or as a friend?"

"Like like... that's who I was talking about with the baby doe..." she explains shyly.

A warm feeling flows in both teens.

Seth settles back down against the rock, his body close to Juno.

"Seth?" She questions.

Seth suddenly turns to her with a big smile, "aww you were talking to a baby deer about me!" Juno quickly looks away from him, blush covering her face. "Shut up," she mumbles in embarrassment.

Her heart lurches feeling him grab her hand, squeezing it softly.

She looks at their hands before looking Seth. He gives a soft smile easing her nerves.

Juno returns it and soon, the both of them are finishing their homework.
