Bonding to the EXTREME!!!! (HB)

After school on a Thursday, Ella was in the kitchen cleaning and studying, something she usually did. Sometimes she'd have a baby on her hip, sometimes she'd have to take breaks to break up a fight between her younger brothers, but today the only people in the house were her and Titus. Their father was out in Sweden for a business offer and their mother took all of the other boys to a birthday party, so it'll be interesting.
Finishing up reading a text book and cleaning, she heard foot steps coming down the stairs. "Titus?" She called out, hoping it was him.

While she was finishing up cleaning, Titus came down the stairs and asked if she needed any help. Ella shook her head no, and smiled at him. "Hey, I know I haven't been around much.. but between all the crazy stuff going down in my life and being in and out of the hospital it's hard to keep up with the family." She explained, leaning against the counter. "And despite not being around much, I'll always be there for you, alright?"

Titus gave her a nervous hug, which Ella pulled him in tightly and swung him back and forth. "Why are you so nervous all the time! It's me! It's not like I'm a stranger!" She told him with a grin, putting him down and looking at him. "You can be open with me! It's not like I'm going anywhere any time soon!" Ella said chipperly, jumping up on the counter and swinging her legs back and forth. "How about we get to know each other better! Ask me any question! I'll answer it completely honest, but I get to do the same to you!"

Titus's first question was an easy one, her favorite band. "Well I don't have a favorite band per say... But I love Lady Gaga! I have every single one of her albums and I know all of her songs by heart!" Ella said giddily, looking at Titus with a smile. She thought of a few questions until she came to a conclusion.. "Hmmmm... Ooh!!! If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?" Ella asked, her eyes wide waiting for an answer.

He talked about how he wanted to see Greece where the old heroes walked, making her smile. Despite both of them not having many powers, they tried their best to help others. Especially Titus, he was so brave, he did so much and he deserved so much more recognition. "Stories? As in books? I love a good romance novel!" She said with a giggle "Although I'm obsessed with Marvel Comics." Ella explained, still kicking her legs. "Okay... Favorite cake flavor?"

"Carrot cake is hardly even a dessert! That's like saying salsa is a smoothie because technically a tomato is a fruit! It's gross!" Ella teased him, sticking out her tongue for emphasis, of course this was all in good fun. However, when Titus asked her about Fen she raised an eyebrow. They'd been back together for almost a month now, and her whole family knew about their... fight... followed by Ella rarely being home, but now things were starting to get better! She planned on bringing Fen back home some time soon, she just didn't know when.
"Ah... well if you're asking if we are back together, then yes." She admitted, rubbing the back of her head with a chuckle. "I probably should have told you guys sooner, but I've been so wrapped up in school and stuff." Ella said, which was true. "But what about you? Do you have a special lad or lady in your life?"

He was happy for her, which made Ella smile. When she asked about a significant other in his life, she smiled happily and looked at him. Ella proceeded to poke him several times. "Who's the lucky person??!!" She teased, nudging his shoulder. "What's their name?" Ella asked, being respectful to said persons pronouns.

Titus was red and flustered, meaning Ella was exactly right. Apparently there were... two girls? Was he in a relationship with two girls? That's messed up man. "Wait.. You're dating two girls at once? That's pretty messed up man, you can't do that to them." Ella said seriously, feeling bad for the two girls. She never expected Titus to be that kind of guy.
