How Do We Date - Riddle + Floyd

Chapter 5 - part one

*art credit: me :)*

3rd person POV

Riddle walked up to Floyd.

"H-hi Floyd."

Floyd was standing silent for a while, making Riddle start to feel self conscious, wondering if he should've just stuck with something plain. The eel looked the goldfish up and down, a smile creeping on his face.

"Goldfishy, you look so cute!~~"

To this Riddle jumped, shocked from the compliment he wasn't sure how to take.

"H-Huh thanks, let's be on our way."

Riddle said, hoping he didn't sound as nervous as he was.

They began to walk, Floyd joyfully skipping and humming next to Riddle. As random thoughts started to flood in.

Switching to Riddles POV

Why is Floyd so tall? It's a pain and a half to look up at him. Wait, where are we going? I never asked. Oh whatever I'm sure it'll be fine, I hope. Maybe I should've asked more questions to (y/n) before, cause now I'm super nervous and I can't text them now.
I let out a sigh feeling in defeat.

"Mmm? Why does the goldfish seem sad?"
Floyd asked leaning down towards the red head.

"Ah! No I'm fine."
Riddle replied finally snapping back to the present.

"If you say so, hey say why don't you hold my hand?"
The eel suggested, with a very menacing toothy smile. (At least from Riddles view)

"Alright, but not for long."

We began holding hands, it felt weird. My hands seemed like ones of a child compared to his, it was warm however. There was also a weird feeling in my stomach, maybe I'm sick? No that isn't the case, I shook that thought away.

They arrived at a bakery which the eel went in, the goldfish following closely. Did he plan to go here first? Now they had let go of one another and Riddle couldn't help but feel disappointed it didn't last longer.

Whoever was at the front seemed to know Floyd which seemed a little weird. I started looking around, the place had a very cute but slightly fancy aura to it, it was nice. Floyd looked down behind him.

"Is there anything you'd like? My treat."

Huh?! Oh no wonder why were here. Umm maybe... there's a strawberry lemonade and I mean that small strawberry cake looks delicious.

"Then can I have a strawberry lemonade?"
Riddle didn't want to ask for too much.

"Heh? What about a dessert?"
Floyd whined.

"Oh, then that little strawberry cake, please."
He pointed so the worker can see which one.

"Alright, will that be everything?"
The cashier asked.

"Yup! Hey goldfish you can wait outside."

I nodded as I seen myself out, a few minutes after Floyd walked out with a picnic basket in hands. Do they give those out to people?

We continued on our way, when I started realizing... he keeps looking at me?! Why? Is my outfit that weird? I looked up trying to catch him, he turned his gaze in front! Eh? I'll just be straight forward.

"Floyd, is there something you'd like to say?"
I began crossing my arms.

"Mm I'll tell y'a if you hold my hand again."
He leaned over smirking.

"Alright."

I reached for his hand and took hold of it, honestly I'm kinda happy he asked, since I wouldn't have.

"I was wondering who got you that."

"Got me what?"

"Your outfit, it doesn't seem like something you'd get yourself."

Why does he sound grumpy about it? He can't be jealous can he?

"(Y/n) helped me get it the other day, since you, uh you said to wear something, cute."
My voice went quieter till it was almost less than a whisper.

"Aww did my goldfish dress up just to impress me?!" He throw himself over me, nuzzling my face with his.

"G-get off!!"
I yelled in a fluster.

"Aww fine."
Floyd got off grabbing my hand once more.

He took a glance down at me. He stopped, spinning me so I'm facing him, he bent down,

"F-Floyd?!"
He's so close.

He raises a hand up to my neck, I can't control my heartbeat or the heat at my cheeks. I close my eyes.

"Did (y/n) get you this too?"
He questioned more seriously.

Huh? Oh he was holding the necklace, haha I thought for a, wait what did I think?! I cleared my throat to speak.

"Yeah, they got me it as a friendship gift after hanging out together."
I smiled slightly.

He let go and grabbed my hand, why's he walking faster than before? We almost have a whole foot difference!! I can't walk as fast! Was he angry?

An

Sooo Riddle, he looks cute doesn't he?! Also can I just say Floyd's jealous of you, haha imagine. Uhh also there may be a Floyd outfit next update... you didn't hear anything.
Anywho sorry for the wait but we're back !
