Archer was a bit shocked at first but hugged her back. He grinned as an idea came to mind. Quickly he moved the popcorn and scooped up Hotaru, holding her bridal style. "You don't weigh a thing." he said laughing as he stood up and walked to the kitchen carrying Hotaru. He smiled down at her and set her on the counter easily then went to the fridge. "So what sounds good?" he asked grinning widely as he poked around in the fridge and freezer.

Hotaru was caught by surprise as she was scooped up in his arms, laughing as they made their way to the kitchen. Something about this position seemed really familiar to the redhead. Maybe he had carried her around like this a lot before?
Before she could finish that train of thought he had sat her on the counter. "Well we already had plenty of popcorn." she pointed out with a grin. "Nothing big, just a little something simple." she thought about the possibilities for a moment before coming to a desicion. "How about just sandwiches for now?" she asked him. "Well, unless you have something else you wanna make, that's fine too." she smiled.

Archer shrugged and pulled some sandwich stuff out of the fridge. He wasn't going to bring up that they'd had it for lunch in case she relapsed. "Sandwiches sound good." he said setting the things beside Hotaru. He went back to the pantry and pulled out the bread. "Here you go. I'm going to go put the movie up and turn on the tv." he said smiling as he placed the bread on Hotaru's other side.

She nodded her head as she took the bread. "Okay." she began making her own sandwich. It was rather simple, she just slapped on some ham and cheese on the bread and that was that, not even bothering for mayo or anything like that. Satisfied, she took a bite out of it, feeling her stomach starting to ache a little after she swallowed. The redhead stopped for a second and blinked. "Dejavú..." she muttered to herself, but continued to eat the sandwich anyway. She then hopped back on the counter again, kicking her feet back and forth a little, noticing her feet naturally went to a perfect point, just like a dancer..

Archer returned from opening the livingroom where the tv now played and the blinds were open. "Well look at you miss hungry." he replied laughing. He made his own sandwich and put the rest away. "Gotta love a good simple sandwich." he said after his first bite. "Today has been a really good day. Thanks for sharing it with me." he said smiling across at Hotaru who was still seated on the cabinent across from him.

Hotaru blushed, a wide smile growing across her face. "Of course." she replied happily. "Why wouldn't I want to hang out with you?" she asked, tilting her head a little while still smiling. She finished off her sandwich and jumped off the counter, landing on her feet and standing in front of him again.

Archer smiled and looked down at his feet shyly. He shrugged. "Usually girls don't like hanging out with me..." he muttered. "I'm not really too good with hanging around girls very long if I get the chance to." he looked back up at Hotaru who was standing in front of him. "Plus I you're really cute and fun to be around so it's different." he smiled shyly and shuffled his feet slightly. He really wasn't used to the situation they were in.

Hotaru blushed again. "Well that's ridiculous, any girl that wouldn't wanna hang out with you is stupid and not worth your time." she told him. "You've been nothing but sweet to me all day long, I just can't see why people wouldn't love you." her blush darkened a little more, but for some reason there was a tiny voice in the back of her head telling herto get away. She didn't want to though, Archer seemed too nice to be a threat to her. She didn't want him to think she hated him, that would be awful.

Archer's heated up again. He knew he shouldn't feel like that with knowing what he was really like most of the time, but he couldn't help it. "Well thank you very much." he replied with a large smile. "I think you maybe biased though. I've done nothing but spoil you all day." he said teasingly as he reached out and tickled Hotaru's scarred sides lightly.

Hotaru giggled a little as he tried tickling her sides. She took his hands and pushed them back toward him teasingly, though she kept one of his hands in hers as she looked back up at him, smiling as bright as she had all day. He was so sweet, and funny, and cute...
'No no you CAN'T!' the voice in her head screamed. 'Get away, while you still can GET AWAY!!'
"I don't wanna..." she muttered to herself to the little voice. She wasn't about to run away, not with everything he'd done for her...

Archer laughed as she giggled then gave her hand a gentle squeeze. She was happy... she was happy with him! Granted it was all because of this morning's activities with the fire but still... he would enjoy the time he had with Hotaru like this. He actually felt like a normal human being for once in his life. Sure he loved and enjoyed what he did, but that didn't mean he was voided of all feelings. He was still a hormonal male and since he'd never got that 'first love' experience, he would revel in it while it lasted.
He realized that he'd been staring at Hotaru with a big goofy smile and cleared his throat lightly. He felt some other thanks were necessary so he let go of her hand and scooped her up in a hug, her feet dangling off the floor. He placed her back on her feet and smiled unsure what to say.

Hotaru laughed loudly as she was picked up in the hug, hugging him back with just as much joy. She had had an amazing day, despite the so called 'head injury' keeping her from remembering most other stuff. That didn't matter, Archer would help her with that. She blushed more when she was put down. "What's on your mind..?" she asked nervously.

Archer really wasn't sure what to say in response to that since most of the things on his mind were not things he'd tell her so he settled with something else that was also truthful. "You." he said simply with a shy smile. His little flaming girl. Red hair, red cheeks, red scars, all perfect. She was really the epitome of her fear and his favorite hobby. She was utter perfection in his eyes and he was never more grateful for her misplaced fear that allowed him the opportunity he now had with her.

Hotaru giggled and shifted her eyes away from him for a moment from embarrassment. There were so many emotions inside her, she was anxious, nervous, joyful, then there was an out of place guilt. She felt guilty, why was that? There was no reason for her to feel guilty over liking Archer this way, was there?
'Leave leave LEAVE!!' the voice screamed. 'Don't you DARE! You don't know what you're getting into, PLEASE!!'
The redhead took a step back and held her aching head. Why did it want her to leave? She liked it here, she liked Archer! Why didn't it understand that?

Archer frowned at her expression. Inner monologue. He'd seen the same expression on people's faces many times before. He sighed inwardly, Hotaru was really strong if she was already fighting herself on everything. Best not push my luck... he thought to himself as he gave Hotaru a soft smile. "Headache?" he asked lifting her chin softly. Her almost dry hair fell into her face and Archer pushed it back behind her ears. "How about I give you a painkiller and you can go lay on the couch?" he asked rubbing his thumb lightly over her cheek in an attempt to calm her.
