The Bet (Fakir x Ahiru)

~Ice Cream Sundate~

     Rrrrriiiinnnngggg, Rrrrriiiinnnngggg, Click... "Hello?..." ...after a moment of unsure silence a small chuckle could be heard from Fakir "Hello Ahiru, thanks for calling." Ahiru blushed deeply at Fakirs soothing voice "Hi! I'm sorry for calling so randomly... I hope it's ok that I called?! Sorry sooooo much happened that I don't know what to say!! And I didn't really expect you to pick up anyway so I'm really, really happy!!...." Ahiru gasped when she realized what she had just said and was nervous about his response "I... I really wanted to talk to you too. I'm happy you called~" Ahiru couldn't help but wonder what Fakirs face looked like at that moment because of his soft and gentle way of speaking to her.
"But what about your bet..." Ahiru asked softly "There was nothing about phone calls so I think it's fine. Anyway, what have you been up to Ahiru? You said a lot has happened, right?"
  
     And with that Ahiru explained everything that had occurred to her that night and Fakir told her about his visit and just like that the two of them fell asleep talking on the phone with each other.

    The next day Fakir and Karen left the city and returned to the small town of Gold Crown; on the drive back Fakir felt irritated and wished there was a way to return faster. Ahiru was nervous and excited about Fakir coming back, because last night he said he had wanted to talk to her about something important before going for the ice cream. It was Monday afternoon and Fakir was back Ahiru had to stop herself from running out to greet him and instead managed to just walk to him.
"Fakir!!" Ahiru happily waved both her hands to him and grinned excitedly, Fakir smiled back happy to see Ahiru once again "Hello Ahiru." Fakir walked up to her "Ahiru... If you're fine with it... Can we take a walk by the pond I... Need to tell you something." Ahiru nodded curious as to what Fakir wanted to talk about that got him acting so shy "Sure, Let's go!" Fakir and Ahiru walked in this strange silence going to the pond.

The pond was big and beautiful edged with lovely lush trees it was only the two of them walking by the clear pond once they got to the pier Fakir began to talk. "Ahiru I need to tell you something important..." Ahiru started to feel nervous wondering what it could be "Okay... Go on." Ahiru said watching Fakir so carefully, Fakir takes a deep breath and looks Ahiru straight in the eyes "Ahiru I had a lot of trouble with this bet and more importantly not being able to talk to you and it's not just because I think of as a friend... You're so much more to me than that." Fakir gently holds Ahiru hands and steps closer to her "Ahiru I like you! I like you a lot, when you told me what Femio did I was furious that he might have hurt your feelings! And that he might have taken you away before I could tell you my true feelings." Fakirs hands grip her's as his blush deepen more than Ahiru know it could and he looks her in the eyes once again "Ahiru, will you be my girlfriend?" Ahiru blushed as red as a strawberry, she've never heard Fakir talk so passionately about something other than books and dance! Ahiru couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion. Ahiru tighten her grip on his hand and trying her best to not avoid eye contact and with a deep breath she finally responded "Fakir... I really like you too. And I want to be your girlfriend!" Fakir and Ahiru stared into each others eyes Fakir leaned down and kissed Ahiru's cheek, they smiled at each other and both of them giggled as they had an gentle embrace.

Walking hand in hand Fakir and Ahiru walked into the ice cream parlor and once they got a cozy booth they order an ice cream sundae and ignoring the onlooking stares of their fellow peers who whispered excitedly about the new couple.

Meanwhile, Autor and Femio where outside the parlor and saw the couple enter. Autor pushed up his glasses and sighed as he glanced at Femio "Are you happy now? Hopefully this will finally put an end to your meddling." Femio twirled happily "Huhuhuhuhu~ You call me a meddler yet you play a big part as well! After all I'm an amazing matchmaking because, women just throw themselves at me!" Autor rolled his eyes "What about Freya?" Femio poses dramatically "I have another date with her this weekend!! She has perfect tase in man!" Autor chuckled "Are you sure about that?" Autor said sarcastically as he walked away Femio followed clueless "Of course! It's me after all~"

. . . . .A few days later. . . . .
 
  At the library Fakir and Autor where having a stare down. Fakir looked at Autor annoyed while Autor smirked "There was nothing about phone calls in the bet." Autor scoffed "It might not have been said but it was implied and you knew it." Fakir glared at him "Ugh, fine I don't have time for this!" and with this Fakir brought out his wallet and pulled out the $10 for the bet and handed it to Autor, Autor took it smugly "Well you better be off. You two lovebirds might be too noisy here! This is a library after all~" Autor said sarcastically as he turned around and walked away smugly. Fakir sighed and shook his head and left the library, Ahiru was happily waiting for him "Hey, Fakir! How'd it go?" Ahiru excitedly walked up to him Fakir sighed "You know what he's like but even more annoying, anyway let's get going." Fakir and Ahiru held hands as they walked away from the library talking happily as boyfriend and girlfriend.
