Dexter Charming was my best friend forever after, but there was something that made that saying a bit unfairest.

I saw him as a crush. And I really really like him. I wanted him to know, I wanted to tell him how I felt but the problem is that he really really likes someone else. I have nothing against the person he likes either. She's very hex-tacular and is my sister's best friend forever after. One of the most popular people in the school due to her mother and is roommates with the infamous Apple White.

I see why he has a crush on Raven Queen.

As his best friend, I swore my duty to make sure that he can ask Raven out. They'll be good for each other. I know it.

....I hope.

"Hey, who are those flowers for?" I asked, when I was on my bed and Dex just walked in. I shared a room with Dexter after Ashlynn and Hunter wanted to share one. I was rooming with Ashlynn and Hunter was with Dexter. It worked out well for all of us. The headmaster said that girls and boys had to be in their respective dorms but he doesn't know and it will stay that way. He still thinks Ashlynn is my roommate.
Our friends know and promised to keep it a secret.

Its been our thing.

Dex froze and pivoted towards me with the bouquet of flowers in his hand. I tilted my head in confusion with my brow raised. My pink hair flowed with the direction of my head as I waited for an answer. He pointed to what was in his hand for confirmation; I nodded.

He glowed wildflower red while he adjusted his glasses. "It's- It's for a g-girl that I....like. Raven actually." I masked my disappointment and smiled widely. I mean he was pinning after her for a while and she looked like she had some interest towards him too. It wasn't really one-sided. They did look cute together. I swallowed everything the devil on my left shoulder wanted to say.

We were only platonic friends. Nothing more.

"I need your help. I want to ask her out but I don't know how. You know how my conversation with Daring went." He rolled his eyes and I copied him.

Oh, I knew. I was there.

Having Madeline as a sister was enough for me. Luckily she doesn't butt into my life too much and we have our respective boundaries and friends. But I knew how much Daring thought about himself; and the imagination he had whenever he thought of himself.

I also knew how that affected Dexter. It just wasn't easy for him being in his brothers shadow. Cupid and I tried to show him his own worth, including some self-love, but it wasn't enough. His feelings towards his brother also ties into his last problem. He believes he can't get a girl because all of them like Daring.

Which isn't true; I can name plenty of people that don't like him romantically.

Me, Cupid, Raven, Briar, Blondie, Ashlynn, the list is long alright!

That doesn't seem to change his mind in the slightest.

"That's hat-tastic!" I clapped in glee when really I wasn't happy. I was the Hatter that covered her emotions. Maddy was the extroverted sister and didn't hide her emotions. I was the calmer version of her. I got mom's genes and personality while she got dad's. Our hair is inverted as well. While she had blue hair with pink streaks, I had pink hair with blue streaks. They were just as curly and bouncy as hers. "I'm sure she will say yes. Do you want to practice by asking me and pretending that I am Raven?"

He dropped his arms as if he was holding himself up for the longest time. I twisted my face in amusement while he walked towards me. I stood up in front of him for a better effect, because even if he didn't feel anything towards me, I would still be there for him. I fixed my hair up a bit, brushing it out of the way, trying to present myself better.
Dex coughed out whatever was in his throat, I knew he was trying to present his best. But even when he has bed head and just woke up, I still thought he looked his best.

When he started speaking, I knew that we weren't on the same page, let alone the same chapter. I wasn't too sure if it was hat-tastic or not.

"Okay...I've liked you for a really long time and I was hoping that you would go out with me? You don't have to say yes b- but I just think that you're so cool, and funny, and very beautiful. You've helped me a lot with the mirror net, listening to me ramble about how Blondie wants everything to be perfect, and studying for Rumpelstiltskin's hextremely hard tests, I wouldn't be surprised if every guy in the school doesn't like you!" I slowly realized that this confession was not towards Raven, it was towards me. I study with him for every test because we all know that professor Rumpelstiltskin is mad. He just wants people to spin his straw into gold. Which was absolutely crazier.

What really made me sure that the confession was aimed at me wasn't the fact that no one else helps him with the mirror net. Because there were people that did. He always needed help with the mirror cast because he didn't want to be on Blondie's bad side. Don't we all. She has to always make sure that everything's just right.

When it isn't...she's a bit of a perfectionist.

Do you know what stuck out to me the most ?

It was the rambling.
He HATES rambling.

I may be Hatter but our memories are undeniable. We just forget the things we want to forget.

"You're the only person I feel like I can complain to without feeling bad," Dexter said one day when lying on the grass as we watched the clouds move. He wasn't having a good day and just went on and on about everything that happened. I did the same thing to him when I have bad days, so I listened, gave my input as I always do. He doesn't rant a lot, but I was aware that he bottles up his feelings a lot. I let him know that I could always lend an ear to him.

Literally, I have a lot of them in my hat.
You never know when you need an ear!

"Really? Why is that?" I giggled, amused at his response. It made me feel all tingly inside.

I remembered he looked down, the question rested in the air. Time slowed as I turned to look at him. I sat up a bit and rested my head on my hand, where my elbow was on the grass. He copied my actions and that made me curiouser and curiouser. He raked his hands through his hair before he answered me.

"I just..I just feel comfortable when I'm around you."

That made me realize that he didn't tell anyone about most things. Which made me sad because Dexter is a very interesting person and to be looked over like that was upsetting. It was like under-steeped tea.

"Well?" He asked. My joy seeped through me and I jumped myself onto him for a hug. He wrapped his arms back around me and I felt the tension slowly leave his body.

"YES!"

"Wait...really?! You'll go out with me? Like as in Y/n Hatter not Raven," he clarified, I could hear the nervousness laced in his tone. I pulled away from the hug and nodded hastily. I couldn't contain my excitement. He jumped up in excitement chanting that I was going out with him. He gave me the flowers immediately and continued to dance.

All I could do was giggle and sniff the flowers. Daisies, my favourite.
I think everything will be tea-rific from here on out.
