"You ready to meet him?" your best friend Luke asked. Luke told you that his friend named Michael wants to see you. Luke said he's been talking about you nonstop ever since Luke introduced you to his friends. He said he wanted to meet you in the carnival. "Yeah, I guess," you nodded.
"Michael's really excited," Luke smiled.
You asked yourself in the head. Why would a guy be so excited in seeing me?
You arrived at the carnival. It was very crowded, but it was easy to spot Michael since he loves dying his hair. You and Luke spotted him near the photo booth. "Hey," Luke greeted as you approached him.
"Hey Luke." he turned to face you. "Um, hi. Y/N." he began.
"Hi," you smiled.
You stared at each other for a while until Luke interrupted, "well, I got some business to do, I'll leave you guys here. Have fun!" he grinned at me while winking at Michael. Michael gave him a nervous look, while Luke returned it with a reassuring smile.
Once Luke has finally dissolved into the big crowd, Michael said, "So, what rides do you wanna go?" he scratched the back of his neck.
"You sent me here to go to rides with you?" you asked him.
He stared at me. "I just wanted to hang out with you..."
You blushed and turned away. "Why would you want to hang out with me anyway?"
"Because I like you," Michael stated with a smile.
You stayed silent.
"Do you wanna go to the ferris wheel?" he asked.
"No, I'm afraid of heights." you refused.
"Please?" he begged as he slipped his hand into yours, intertwining his fingers with yours. His touch was warm and comforting.
You stared at your intertwined hands. "Fine."
The both of you rode in the ferris wheel. When you reached the top, you screamed and quickly buried your head in Michael's chest. All he did was giggle.
"Don't laugh at me." you muttered.
"You're cute." he replied, stroking your hair.
Once you got off, the both of you wandered around the booths and rides. Until something caught your eye.
There was a big cute brown teddy bear sitting in a dart booth. It had a tiny ribbon around its neck. Michael must've caught you staring, because he said, "Has Luke told you about how good at darts I am?" he smirked.
"Go ahead and try." You demanded.
He stepped forward to the dart booth. The man gave him three javelins which obviously meant he only has three tries. He licked his lips, concentrating. When he held the javelin his hand was shaking. His eyes kept darting to your direction. Once he threw it, the javelin literally hit outside the dartboard. He didn't score anything.
Michael scowled and muttered something you can't hear, then he picked his second javelin. It was the same thing, his hand all shakey. When he threw it, he missed again. You laughed at him. "Fuck, Y/N this is all your fault!!" he yelled.
"What the heck did I do?!" you laughed.
"Just fucking stop staring at me! You're making me nervous!"
You stopped laughing. "Do I really have that effect on you?"
"Yes. Now turn around and let me get that teddy bear for you."
You slowly turned around, waiting.
Seconds later you felt a tap on your shoulder. You turned to see Michael holding the teddy bear, with a proud smile on his face. You looked behind him to see the javelin in the bull's eye.
"Michael," you hugged the teddy bear. "Why did you do this again?"
"Because I saw you staring at it, and I want to make you happy." he simply said, then he did something you didn't expect. He leaned over and softly kissed your cheek.
"I wanted you here because I really like you, and I want you to go on a date with me."
You almost dropped the teddy bear. "S-So, this is a date?"
"Only if you consider it one."
You swallowed. "Sure." You were starting to like this guy.
"Cool. So, do you wanna go on a date with me tomorrow? Like a proper date?" he asked nervously.
"Of course." this time you did drop the teddy bear and hugged Michael. He hugs you back. For a guy who looks really punk, he sure does give the best hugs.
"Hey, Y/N......" you heard Luke's voice.
You broke your hug to see Luke standing awkwardly. "Sorry. Did I interrupt something?"
"No, you didn't."
Michael was about to get his car keys when he realized something. "Oh. Right. You're picking up Y/N." he said disappointedly.
"Oh, it's fine, Y/N can go with you. I can see things have leveled up between you." He smirked then winked as the both of you blushed furiously.
