Feelings
After Vladimir woke up from his coma, most things went back to normal. Except...
Vladimir and Liliana were at the kitchen, preparing some cakes for their friends...
Liliana: .........
Vladimir: ........... *Awkward* (...I-is she mad at me...? She haven't say anything since we're alone...I-I mean, even that incident was out of my hand but...yeah, I kinda broke the promise I had with her...) ...Um...Liliana-san...
Liliana: .........
Vladimir: Er...
Liliana: ...Why are you still call me that?
Vladimir: Eh...? What are you saying, Liliana-sa--
Liliana: There you go again...! We've been together for a long time yet...yet you still call me with... *Pout* ...Even though you're the one who gave me that nickname...Gilbert told me that you've been calling me Lily behind my back ever since you were a child...
Vladimir: ......!! (I-is that why she's mad...!? Because I still call her Liliana-san...!?) Erm....how should I put this...? I...I don't want to remind you about...that person...I mean sure, I am the one who gave you that nickname but...he kinda stole it from me so...
Liliana: (Is that why he doesn't want to call me that...? Oh...Vladdy...) *Went near him* Is that the reason why...?
Vladimir: *Nervous* Uh...I-I...mostly that's the reason why but...erm... (Wh-why am I... feeling nervous when she's near me...?) It's...uh...I just want to make sure if it was okay for me to call you that...
Liliana: *Giggle* Oh you silly demon. Of course you can call me Lily.
Vladimir: *Look away, blushing* ........L....Lily...san.
Liliana: Mou...! Stop adding "-san" to my name! Just call me Lily!
Vladimir: Eh--!? Ah--....L...Lily...
Liliana: *Smile* Good.
Vladimir: *Scratch his cheek* ..... *Continue cutting the strawberries*
Liliana: ....So Vladdy, do you have a girlfriend?
Vladimir: Huh? But... you're one of my girlfriends.
Liliana: Nooo! I meant, girlfriend on romantic level!
Vladimir: *Accidentally cut the cutting board* H-hah!? No! Why would anyone want to date me of all people!?
Liliana: Then...is there someone you're interested in?
Vladimir: Wh-why are you asking me?
Liliana: I believe I ask you first-
Vladimir: Er...I-I'm not really sure, to be honest. I just thought that people won't be interested on dating me so I hardly got attached to any women.
Liliana: Ohh...
Vladimir: Plus even if they did, they would always wear some revealing clothes! That alone is enough to make me uncomfortable...
Liliana: (No wonder Vladdy always look uncomfortable whenever women talks to him...)
Vladimir: .... However.... if it's you, I think I'm okay with it.
Liliana: H-huh?
Vladimir: Well...there are times you wore some revealing clothes...but I actually don't really mind at all. I suppose I trust you on personal level.
Liliana: *Blush* I-I see....so that means...you don't have a girlfriend yet...
Vladimir: Hm? Yeah. Why do you ask anyway?
Liliana: ....... (...I should take my chance to make a move...!) *Went closer* Vladdy....what if....I want to stay by your side forever...?
Vladimir: *Doki* Uh...w-well...of course I'll be happy.
Liliana: *Blush before gently place her hand on his* What if I meant... romantically?
Vladimir: Wh-what are you trying to say...?
Liliana: V-Vladdy...I...I actually...
Liliana went closer to Vladimir's face as she gently grip his hand. He could only stare at her with wide eyes and red face. Suddenly...
Xenon: Uncle Vlad--!!
Liliana: *Flinch & immediately tried to act normal by cutting the cake*
Vladimir: *Was frozen in place*
Xenon: *Enter the kitchen* Dad was asking me to tell you that he-- *Notice the awkwardness in the air* --...Um...is everything okay?
Vladimir: *Blink* Wh-what? Oh, did G-Gilbert ask you to find me?
Xenon: Y-yeah...but is everything okay? You two look...red.
Vladimir: *Red face* I-I'll go see Gilbert....s-sorry Lilia--...Lily but I had to see him...
Liliana: *Red face* O-oh, okay...see you later...
Vladimir immediately walk out of the kitchen, feeling shy all of the sudden.
Xenon: ........... *Look at her* ...Did I just ruin your confession or something?
Liliana: N-no! I did not-!
Xenon: I knew it!
Liliana: Nooo-!
Little did she know, Vladimir was too embarrassed that he collapsed as soon as Gilbert talk to him...
