[Morgan's POV]

"Nicolas! I swear to goblins that if you make me fall I will not hesitate to chop you're junior off and stick it in your head like a fucking  unicorn."

Nicolas abruptly stopped in his tracks, making me bump into him, "dude, what the fu-"

"I hate you..." Nicolas mumbled.

He doesn't.

"You don't hate me and you know it." I smiled innocently. I would give him the puppy eyes if it weren't for the stupid blindfold he put over my eyes.

Nicolas let out an exaggerated sigh, "for the last time, I'm not going to make you fall. It wouldn't kill you to put your faith in me. Besides you're already Quasimodo, you can't possibly get uglier."

I felt around to find what I assume was his arm and gave him a playful punch. 

It's been like this for the past 2 years. 

Yes, you heard me, 2 years since our graduation, 2 years since the meeting, 2 years since the wrong april fools text was sent, 2 years since we met in real life and we're still friends, or what Sidney likes to put it, flirtatious friends- extremely flirtatious friends. 

Not much has changed, except for my feelings. I have a crush on my best friend, yes, very cliche and it isn't very surprising. 

"Nico boy, are we there yet?" I whined. Nicolas invited me to hangout but it ended up with me being blindfolded a block away from our destination. I really didn't know where we were going, but from the feel of the ground, I could only assume that we were in a very spacious place. 

"Almost Quasy, almost."

"Well, it better be soon, Pedo," I snickered, he hated it when I call him that.

He groaned at my remark, "it's been 2 years already, and you're still calling me that!"

"Well, you wouldn't stop calling me Morgana," I countered.

"But she has powers, and the only thing a pedo has are child fetishes."

"Morgana is dead. And I would like to be friends with Merlin, not his enemy, thank you very much."

Then he stopped again, making me bump into him yet again. "Jebus christ stop doing that," I groaned as I rubbed my forehead.

"We're here!" He said

Suddenly, the sound of feet shuffling could be heard.

"Nicolas! I swear if you leave me, I'll kill you,  break every single bone and feed it to the dogs."

He chuckled, "jeez, your as violent as always. I'm taking your blindfold off, so stay still." 

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. As he took off my blindfold, I slowly opened my eyes. I looked around checking my surroundings and stopped at the sight of the sunset. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Then I realized that we were at school, as in our old high school, specifically the parking lot. I turned around and was struck with the sight before me. It made me stop breathing and moving altogether!

There was a life-size cut out of Quasimodo and Esmeralda with... was that Phoebus? Beside it was a big banner sprawled out on the floor that said, "I don't want you to be my Quasimodo anymore, Will you be my Phoebus to my Esmeralda?"

My hands flew to my mouth as I gasped. What the heck is happening?  I turned around to see Nicolas beside me holding a ring pop in one hand. I chuckled, "a ring pop? Seriously, is a ring pop the best you could do? I mean a $10 dollar ring from Etsy would work. At least it's made from metal."

He shrugged smiling widely, "I did hypothetically asked you what ring you want, if someone hypothetically proposed to you. And you said, and I quote, 'any ring that is given from your lover is the best ring'."

I feigned a sigh, "yes, I suppose a sweet ring is a good ring too."

I remember that day like as if it was yesterday.

Vincent was grounded, while Dexter and Sidney were going on their little date, leaving the two of us alone to hang out. So we decided to go to a cafe, it wasn't awkward, well at least not until he kept on asking questions about how many kids I would want or what kind of wedding I wanted. 

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind talking about these topics, but a cannon of questions were asked and it made me feel, I don't know, uncomfortable.

"So will you be my Pheobus?"

I snorted, "it sounds like you said 'fetus'."

He groaned, "I'm being serious here."

I smiled nodding as he slid the ring onto my ring finger. He stood up then wrapped his arms around me as our lips crash. I stood there for a second before responding to it. We broke the kiss then I leaned in once more for a peck on his cheek.

"Anyways, why am I a boy?" I asked as I frowned as I licked my red ring pop. 

He laughed, "someday, you'll be Esmerelda and I'll be Pheobus."

"Promise?" I asked lifting my pinkie finger as he wrapped his around mines.

"Promise."

Hi! Um, well nice to know I'm still awkward at this author's note thing :/

Anyways, I realized that I haven't said thank you to you guys for reading, in this chapter. I did said my 'thank you's in the bonus chapter and another chapter but for those who would most likely not bother reading this or the bonus chapters, I'd like to say thank you anyways for reading it and enjoying it.  I love reading the comments, they're always funny so thank you for your comments too. :)

Fun fact: 

I'm not a fan of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (I don't hate it either). I just somehow, unconsciously, weaved it into the story and honestly, I don't know how to feel about it. 

Here's an extra just for funsies ;p

extra:

As we were currently on the way home, I stared at my "ring"

Nicolas looked at me with a questioning gaze. "you don't like it?"

He brought my hand to his lips as he licked the ring pop.

"Ring pops are nostalgic. Ah, I also don't like this flavor, next time get me the blue raspberry one."

Nicolas brought his hand to his chest, "ouch, I wasted a dollar on that ring at least have the decency to appreciate it."

I gave him a playful glare, "hey, you don't see me bitching about my ring being a ring pop do you? Now let's stop at the local supermarket and help me restock my stash of snacks."

Nicolas pecked my forehead and chuckled, " sure."

"Oh, and you're paying as an apology," I smiled in satisfaction, I got a boyfriend and free snacks in one day. Score!
