Date..?

Next day.

-

   "Stop flirting! Paimon is getting annoyed..." Paimon shouted, Aether and Y/N blush.

   "We aren't f-flirting.." He stuttered, the floating child facepalmed.

    "Liar, liar, pants on fire!"  She shouted, "Well, Aether... take her on a date will you?"

"A Date?! Woah.. this is going way to fast isn't it?" Y/N spluttered, while sitting up on the bed, the pixie shook her head.

"No, Paimon says it's a great idea! Aether always wanted to ask you out for awhile, so why not do it now?" Paimon said proudly, the blonde boy's face was even redder now.

"Ahh....no," He denied, "Please don't listen to her, ever!" He covered her tiny mouth. Paimon groaned and was trying to remove his hand, but she failed.

"Oh okay." The pianist said, sounding disappointed. Aether sighed in relief, the tiny girl groaned. The blonde boy whispered into Paimon's ear, "Not yet, Paimon."

"Ohh okay!" Paimon snickered. 'What are they taking about?' Y/N wondered.

-

"Mm— ahh..! It's been so long since I... stood up." Y/N smiled, gets off the bed and stretches. The bard snickered.

"Yeah it has.. Say Y/N~ shall we go on a stroll?" Venti suggested, the girl nodded.

"Mhm! Mhm!" Y/N looked humble, the bard found it very cute. Venti suddenly held her hand.

"Let's go m'lady~!" He cooed, the girl sighs.

"Don't call me that.." she mumbled and held his hand tighter. The bard was shook by the action she did.

"Look's like miss Pianist is clingier than me! Ohoho—" He was shut up by the girl.

"Shut up, I am not. I was just... I was about to fall so that's why I.. did that." She looked away, all flustered.

Venti chuckled, "Ehe, if you say so."

They both exit the white clean room where Y/N rested. While leaving the cathedral, they encountered a dog that Venti saw before. He gasped.

"Ah! It's the dog from before! Hello little fella, nice to see you again. Hehe!" He bent down to the dog to let it sniff his hand, instead, the dog licked it.

"See Y/N? This dog really loves me! I wish I could have a pet dog someday..." He wished, Y/N was shocked. She never saw a real life dog before, she only saw tiny plush dogs from the store window.

"A-Ah!?" She shrieked and hid behind the bard. Venti was confused and tilt his head.

"What's wrong..?! It's just a doggy!" He reassured and sighed, "Sorry doggy, she must really dislike dogs... huh.. poor thing."

"Ahem.. —I- I'm sorry. It's just that,
I haven't seen real dogs before," She said, embarrassed. The bard's eyes were wide open.

"What? You can't be serious! Usually, these dogs are roaming around the city, are you THAT blind?" He raised an eyebrow, the pianist looked like she was offended.

"Venti." She glared, the bard was shaking at this point.

"Sorry, sorry!" He apologized, "sheesh. Scary.." he mumbled to himself.

"Don't worry Y/N , this dog won't hurt you! I think. This little boy or girl.. or them.. won't hurt you at all!" He chirped, "Try petting the dog, I'm sure they'll love you as much as I d- As much as they love me!" Venti laughed nervously.
