Dean smiled as she talked about BK. It was rather odd to him as to why the cat had seemed so... Bent on not letting him get near him. Or Keagan, for that matter. Dean tilted his head slightly to the right as he let his left hand stop petting the cat, really just resting on the cat's head. Not the BK seemed to mind at all. " Maybe he just didn't like my first impression, huh? " He suggested to her jokingly with a grin.

"Maybe, though I didn't see anything wrong with it." Keagan glanced toward him and realized just how close he had gotten while trying to reach the cat. Somehow, she always failed to notice details like that. Smiling softly, she blushed again. "I think there's something more to it, but I don't have the ability to read his mind, so I have no idea what that might be." Gently, she tugged on BK's tail, then went back to stroking his back.

Dean shrugged slightly. Almost hitting someone in the head with a soccerball was not exactly the best impression in the world but Dean thought it had a pretty good outcome. He looked back to Keag to see her blushing again but didn't mention anything about it. This time. " If you had the ability to read his mind I might be a little scared. " Dean joked with a laugh. He then continued petting the cat, his hand went from behind the cat's right ear to about the middle of his back.

"I think I'd be scared, too. Besides, who really knows what goes on inside a cat's mind. It might be a little freaky." Keagan smiled as he laughed. It had been a while since she made a new friend, if she could call this new acquaintance a friend. It was nice.
Then, on one of the passes of her hand across the cat's back, her fingers brushed against Dean's briefly. Reflex reaction was to pull her hand back instantly. After she'd done it, her cheeks blazed, despite her best efforts to keep from blushing, having known it was coming. "I'm sorry," she murmured.

" Probably chasing mice or something around in a daydream... " Dean trailed off with a grin as he imagined what BK might be daydreaming, if that was what he was doing, about. The cat now seemed to be relaxed with him, and actually, so did Keagan. Until their hands brushed against one another's. She pulled back immediantly but Dean didn't really take offence to it. He looked up at her and saw her face redden again. He didn't quite know what it was but he seemed to have this effect on her.
" Uh, yeah. It's ok. " Dean said and offered her a kind smile.

It was almost as if Keagan had...felt...something when their hands brushed. She didn't know why that had scared her so much. Maybe it was because she hadn't felt anything like it before. She couldn't even identify what she had felt; all she knew was that it had surprised her. "Still...I'm sorry," she replied, feeling that her reaction was almost rude in it's abruptness. An apology was the best she could do to relieve that feeling, though, as it would be more embarassing to explain why she had reacted the way she did.

Dean pulled his hand back that was petting BK and set it on the grass between the two. There really wasn't all that much room between them, really. Dean was so oblivious to this fact. He smiled slightly as he said, " No problem. " Because it wasn't. He had to admit it to himself, he found Keagan attractive. She was also nice, from what he had seen so far. Although he didn't exactly think she was anything but that.

Keagan took a deep breath as the color left her face, leaving her normal looking once more. As he moved his hand, she shifted a little, putting at least another inch between them. Doing so had caused some shavings from the tree to fall onto her shoulder, and she brushed them off absently. All she could think was how had she gotten her mind all twisted around.
She looked toward Dean and met his eyes again with a small smile. "What were we talking about, again?"

Dean looked at Keag as she absently brushed the bits of leaves off of her shoulder. Their eyes met again and he smiled. Then, with a laugh, he repsonded, " I have no idea. " He was being honest, he had forgot what they had been discussing before the whole cat thing came up. Dean glanced to her shoulder and noticed another tiny leaf in her hair. Not exactly thinking before he did this, Dean reached over and got the small green leaf out. He held the tiny thing in his hand as he brought his hand back to the ground.

"So neither one of us has any idea...that can't be good," Keag replied with a laugh. Dean seemed to concentrate a bit on something to her side after saying this, but Keagan didn't know what until his arm reached over her to her shoulder. Her gaze followed the arm, and she blushed again, slightly, but this was definitely a tiny blush compared to the other three. "Thank you," she murmured, but chose not to linger on it and thought of a new topic. "It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"

Dean only nodded as she thanked him... Now that he thought about it, it was a bit random of him to do so. He did not notice Keag's blush this time, now his eyes met her as she switched topics. " Yeah, it is. Uh, how does a walk sound to you? " He asked her, thinking that maybe a walk around the lake would be fun for the two... well three of them. He grinned as he almost forgot about BK. Dean, not really waiting for a reply, stood up and offered Keag a hand.

"Um...," she began, considering the thought. She had been on a walk before she had met the boy, and a companion on a walk couldn't be a bad thing. She hesitantly took his offered hand and stood, tottering slightly as her legs were a bit sore from the way she was sitting. "Sure," she answered for certain, brushing bits of grass and such from her bare legs. "Why not? Don't forget your ball, though."

Seeing as how Dean didn't at first give her much time to answer, he stood patiently waiting as she came to a decision. When Keag took his hand Dean grinned slightly. He noticed BK curl around Keag's legs as she stood up. The cat stretched the resumed cleaning itself. He laughed at the cat, even though that was not uncat-like behavior it still seemed funny to him. " Anyway... " Dean said, kicking the soccer ball up into his right hand. As they started walking Keag was on his left side.

(God moding the unstated ) Keagan smiled slightly as Dean laughed from above her head. Though he wasn't more than four inches taller than her, he still seemed a giant to the girl. She noticed as they set off walking (it was kind of hard not to) that he hadn't let go of her hand. Considering her embarrassment when she had jerked away from his touch before, Keag willed herself not to do the same now. It was a struggle, though, as she was very conscious of that hand around her own. To disguise her thoughts for the moment, Keag glanced back over her shoulder at the cat who was still grooming himself. For all appearances, it looked like she was simply making sure he intended to follow.

( Works for me. ) Dean very slightly noticed the height difference. He was taller than alot of people, mostly girls though. He had gotten used to it ever since he was 14 and actually started growing. Dean had looked down to their hands together and smiled slightly. He hadn't exactly planned this but it was deffinently working for him. He laced his fingers through hers and looked back up at her. He didn't exactly know what all this meant but for now he didn't want to ask.
