Once they returned to the main part of the Junkyard, they took Victoria to be seen by one of the healers. Her shoulder was stitched up and bandaged After Quaxo pleaded to allow her to stay in his den for rest since it was far more quieter then the den she shared with the other kittens. The Healer Queens finally agreed and they helped her to his den so she could rest.
"How are you feeling, dear Victoria?" Quaxo asked softly as he sat inches away from where she lay. He made a promise to stay by her side and he didn't mind keeping it, he secretly loved any moment he got with her. Perhaps they would finally have a chance to talk about unsaid things, like why she risked her life for him and more.

Victoria heard a voice. Her head hurt, and she wanted to clamp a large piece of over her head and groan. She turned over and stiffened. This wasn't the healing den. The healing den smelled like herbs, bandages, fur, and milk. Her shoulder was sore, but felt better. There was a bad taste in her mouth, and she felt like death. She remembered her best friend's promise from earlier. "Quaxo." She mumbled. He had asked her how she was doing. He had called her 'dear'. "I feel fine!" Victoria opened her eyes and tried to smile. "A little sore though. And stiff." How along had she'd been sleeping? Victoria tried to turn on her side to face him. Pain shot up her shoulder, and she stopped. Maybe they could just talk. "Are you okay? You didn't get hurt back there, did you?"

Quaxo smiled at Victoria softly as she spoke, relieved to see her awake and feeling a bit better. "That is comforting to know, although if you would like some for the pain, one the Queens gave me some milk laced with medcinal herbs." He gently laid a paw on her arm when he noticed her trying to face him and scooted closer so she could see him, his body touching her side in the small den. "No, I am completely unscathed in thanks to your efforts but..." He sighed, fidgetting with his ear some with his other paw, trying to find the right words to say. "I just do not understand why you would risk your life in such a risky matter for just me, Victoria."

Victoria's eyes shot up. "Some milk would be nice." She stammered. Her friend fidgeted with his ear with one paw. He was nervous, as was she. Could he......? She dismissed the thought. Impossible. She tried to answer the next question. "Because I wanted to protect the tribe, and you, which is the reason I came in the first place, and it was instinct to. I yelled and tried to warn you." She rushed. But with one glance, the white queen knew that her best friend sensed this was only part of the story. Victoria tensed. "Quaxo..." She mumbled. What could she tell him? She could feel his paw on her arm. Victoria took a deep breath. "Love you." She whispered. Now everything could be ruined or saved. She bit her lip. Nothing could be taken back now. The white queen's blue orbs pierced his, waiting for an answer.

With a nod Quaxo reached over to where he kept some dishes he had found that had been discarded unbroken and picked up a saucer with his free paw for her, but turned to listen to Victoria's explanation carefully instead of pouring the milk.
It was the explanation he expected, she had done it on impulse with no reason, probably as his friend which the plain thought made his chest hurt, but yet he couldn't look away from her deep blue eyes almost piercing him straight through.
Then she whispered the two words made him freeze in shock, to the point the saucer started to slip from his shaking paws. Had she really just said that? Had he heard her correctly? Was it the medicinal herbs that the healers had gave her? He blushed deeply as he mulled over these words and the saucer fell to the floor, breaking into a few pieces, the sound waking him from his thoughts. "Wh...What did you say?"

The small platter fell into the floor and Victoria jumped. Of course. Of course he was shocked. In a good or bad way, she didn't know. "I love you." She repeated. She looked down. "Quaxo, please don't hate me. I'm not going crazy, I promise. Just please, please don't end this wonderful friendship I already cherish." Victoria pleaded. She could see the blush on his cheeks and knew that her white fur was as red as Jem's. Suddenly, she looked at him and came up with a small grin. He looked like he'd been hit with a shovel, but she knew that look. She knew him like no one else, and she adored that look. She couldn't let him go.

Quaxo glanced down at the broken saucer as he tried to decide on just how to say he was feeling and he shyly looked back at her a moment. He knew he had to tell her what he had been hiding in his heart. "Victoria, I must end it because honestly I want to be more then only your friend. I..." he paused to gently take both of her paws in his. "...I love you as well." he stammered out as he looked at her, his cheeks even redder if possible. Despite the redness of his cheeks, a soft, shy smile played upon his lips.

Victoria exhaled a breath she hadn't known she had been holding in. Then the white queen punched in the shoulder. "You got me worried for a second!" And she threw her arms around his neck, laughing. She planted a kiss on his cheek. She felt so relived that their friendship wasn't over, and that it might blossom into something more. She pulled back, feeling a sharp pain in her collerbone. "Thank you." Victoria smiled.

Quaxo chuckled sheepishly at her little punch. "I am sorry, but admitting that wasn't at all easy to say to you." He froze surprised when she threw her arms around him for a few reasons, mostly the fact she was injured but quickly forgot when he felt her lips on his cheek. He gently wrapped his arms around her, holding her like this was something he had only dreamed of and it felt amazing to have her in his arms.
He didn't let go until she felt her pull back and he slowly remembered why she was in his den in his first place. "No thank you, Victoria, for waiting for me. I know I can be quite the fool. Now please lay back down and rest, if you do not, Miss Jenny will have my tail for sure." he said with another chuckle.

Victoria chuckled and lay back down. Was this a dream? Maybe the meds were getting to her. She grasped his paw to make sure. No, it was real. "Did anyone tell my friends?" She asked. "Jem would be out of her mind. Should we get her?" For a brief moments, she wondered about the Pollicle, then remembered it was gone. She shifted, then her eyes widened. The muscles in her shoulder felt stiff and immobile. Victora's blood turned to ice. Her muscles never felt like that, ever. She always stretched and danced. In fact, she was so compulsive and daily about it, that she was worried they wouldn't be the same again. "Quaxo?" The queen shook his arm gently. "I will be able to dance, right?"

"I am not sure. I had not seen them any time from being at the gate to the Healer's or to here. Perhaps though Miss Jenny or one of the older Toms may have told them already. Honestly I would not be surprised if they did visit here on their own once they know." he picked up another saucer to attempt to pour her some medicinal milk this time. He blinked at her surprised when she asked if he thought she could dance again and honestly he hadn't even thought about her not dancing. "Victoria, I do not claim to have any medical knowledge but I cannot imagine your shoulder injury will inhibit you from being able to dance with me with rest." he reached over and patted her leg. "Once you feel stronger, I am willing to help you practice again too to retrain." He smiled at his queen gently as he poured the milk into the saucer and carefully handed it to her.

Victoria breathed a sigh of relief. It had just been an irrational fear of her's. A silly one too. She took the milk in her paws. "Thanks, Quaxo." She took a sip. It was warm. Victoria glanced around, not really knowing what to say. Her head turned to the previous broken saucer, and she let out a chuckle. A broken saucer, a Pollicle, and an injury. Apparently, that's what it took to admit feelings. How Jem would laugh when she told her this! She would ease her to no end. Thinking about her friend led her to the next thought. "Quaxo?" She put the milk down on her lap. "Um, how will we tell the others? Unless to don't want to, of course. Or if you would like to just leave it alone, or-" She cleared her throat. She was rushing through things. Victoria needed to take things easy. The white queen started coughing. It hurt her shoulder and stomach, so she grabbed a pillow of sorts, and coughed into that. She couldn't spread bacteria, or make him sick.

Quaxo felt himself relax as he fears dispated and after he set the saucer down, he laid down beside her. He lazily began caress her arm with his paw. "I do not think it will be nessicary to flourish it around. I believe our fellow Jellicles. Many will come to the conclusion on their own,if they have not already. I sensed tonight a few queens already knew how I felt about you. Still not sure how though." He said with a light shrugged, startled when she began to cough. "Are you alright, Victoria?"

"Fine, fine." The coughing subsided. Victoria tried to even her breathing. " How long will it take for my shoulder to heal? Did Jenny say anything about that?" She asked. The queen didn't want to rest for too long. She also wanted to visit her friends. But time with Quaxo couldn't hurt. Maybe now was the time to ask some questions. "Quaxo," She asked gently. "When did you start-um," She blushed. "-to have feelings for me?" She did want to know. Victoria had done plenty of stupid and humiliating things throughout their friendship. What exactly caused him to like her? What did he see in a simple cat like Victoria?

Quaxo thought a moment over what Jenny instructed. "She said after a day she believed you will be strong enough to move around on your paws, but did not suggest dancing until the wound is healed." He smiled at her as he gently laid a paw on her leg, not expecting her next question. He shyly fidgetted with his ear, knowing exactly when he fell for his beautiful Queen. "Victoria, the moment I felt the feelings I have for you, was the first time I saw you dance. I had never seen anything so beautiful and graceful in my life. I almost thought you descended from the Heavenly Side." Quaxo explained honestly as he looked at her with a look of adoration. "May I ask the same?"
