It was, & they were both big softies on the inside

^ They're as mushy as marshmellows. I love that the level of mush doubled when they met and they got to know each other.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, even though they both tried to hide it at times

rocky845

^ Oh, yes. They always were the 'too cool for school' types, so of course they were going to try their best to hide their feelings.

That is exactly what they were

^ Shawn calling Maya 'kiddo' -- my heart is very full right now.

starryeyesxx

I know! It is way too adorable!

rocky845

^ Right? And part of me thinks that Maya wouldn't like the nickname, but that wasn't the case. She didn't mind it.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, maybe from someone else she would have hated it, but with Shawn, she loved it

rocky845

^ Oh, yes. She definitely loved the nickname. The fact that Shawn, who was someone that she bonded so tightly with, was the person calling her 'kiddo' made her feel special.

starryeyesxx

She probably would have loved whatever nickname he gave her

rocky845

^ That's true. It seemed so natural when Shawn called Maya 'kiddo' in those moments, almost like he'd be doing it for years.

starryeyesxx

It did, I wonder if Rider came up with it

rocky845

^ I bet he did. He definitely strikes me as the kind of guy who would call someone 'kiddo'. =p

starryeyesxx

Yeah, I can see that too
