Together We Make A Clover.

Chapter 27: Will They Kiss?

I was standing in front of the mirror and twirled around.

Me: Wow. I'm super surprised that Yuno has a good taste in fashion.

I admired the dress Yuno had picked out for me while we were strolling around the capital on a day off. It was such a cute but casual thing he did that it made me feel like we were on a fun date. The only thing was we never kissed or held hands but I'm sure to others, we looked like we were together since: We fed each other different foods, shared drinks, laughed a lot at each other's comments or jokes, deciding to choose an outfit for one another, and basically be in our own world.

The dress was very simple. It was a plain, off the shoulder deep red wine dress with 3 quarter length sleeves. That's it, just as simple as him. Then, he chose these super cute brown ankle boots with a thick black block heel.

[*giggles* didn't realize all the "ck" ending terms. Definitely a tongue twister.]

I matched it off with ordinary socks that folded nicely above the boots.

Me: Now for my magic knights cape and bag for my grimoire and......DONE! Now I am ready for mine and Mimosa's day! But first, I want to show Yuno.

I giddingly scurried out of my room and towards Yuno's. I made a fist and knocked on his door.

*knock knock knock*

I can hear Yuno's voice from the other side.

Yuno: Come in.

I peeked my head in. There, I saw Yuno looking through his grimoire while laying against his head-rest on his bed. I smiled as I popped in excitedly.

Me: What do you think? *twirls*

I stopped after one spin and looked at Yuno waiting for his reaction. For a moment, Yuno looked, flustered? He let out a cough and collected himself.

Yuno: The dress looks really nice.

Me: *shy* Thank you.

I tried my best to be "myself" and not show my obvious blushing.

Me: You have a good taste in clothes.

Yuno: It's not always the "taste" but rather the person who makes it look good.

Me: What does that mean?

Yuno: I'm sure you've heard it. "It's when the person is wearing the clothes rather than the clothes wearing them."

Me: Uuuuuhhhh what?

Yuno: *shakes head with smile* Sometimes you amaze me with how oblivious you can be.

Me: Hey, that's not entirely true.

I walked towards the balcony and opened the window doors. The breeze came in nicely as the existence of nature filled my senses. I heard Yuno close his grimoire and get off his bed. He walked over and followed me to the balcony. We looked out as I spoke up.

Me: I'm so use to being with you that I have no idea what to do today. Like what do girls even do on a "girl's day"?

Yuno: How should I know? I've been a man my whole life.

Me: *laugh* Yuno, you have not always been a "man".

Yuno: *offended* Excuse me??

Me: You're still a boy.

Yuno: No I am not. I am a man!

Me: *laughs* If that helps you sleep at night. What qualifies a person as being a "man" or a "woman"?

Yuno: Honestly, I'm not so sure.

Me: Then that proves that you are not a man.

Yuno let out a loud gasp as I laughed at him.

Yuno: I always end up falling in your traps.

Me: It's not my fault that you fall for it.

Yuno: *smirks* Maybe a day with a girl could do you some good. You've always been one of the guys and maybe today, some "femininity" will come out of you. Then, you won't always mess around with me.

Me: *playful cry* You don't like the way I am?

Yuno: *confused* No, No! I do like the way you are? *serious* Don't do that. You know I like the way you are.

I stopped and scoffed.

[I can never trick Yuno into saying that he "like likes" me. It's as if he knows to be careful with his words around me.]

Yuno smiled and petted my head.

Yuno: Enjoy your day Vanellope. I'll be happy to hear all about it. Just try not to get into any trouble.

Me: *side smile* I'm not Asta.

Suddenly, the weirdest thing happened. Yuno and I were caught in each other's eyes. We were in such a deep trance that all we could hear were the winds brushing through the bushes and trees nearby. My hair blew in the light wind while it did the same in Yuno's deep raven colored hair.

[What's happening? Why does it feel that we are about to...]

Yuno took a step closer to me and grabbed my hand. I looked at him with my cheeks full of crimson blush. I can feel my breath get caught in my throat as Yuno began to get closer, ready to end this agonizing tension.

But, something else ended the tension.

Mimosa: Vannelope! Are you ready?!

I heard Mimosa knocking on my door which echoed into Yuno's room. I had forgotten to close Yuno's door which would make sense why we heard her so clearly. Yuno backed away immediately and let go of my hand. We both looked away in total awkwardness. I quickly collected myself and yelled out to Mimosa.

Me: Yeah I am ready! I was just getting something from Yuno's room!

I was about to walk off when I said embarrassed.

Me: Well, I, Uh, Have To Go. I'll See You Later.

Yuno: Uh, yeah. Bye.

I walked off the balcony and into Yuno's room. I saw Mimosa standing at the doorway peeking inside. I giggled as I noticed how nosey she was being.

Me: Hey Mimosa.

Mimosa: *cute* Hello Vanellope. I was just looking around. This seems like a lot for Yuno.

Me: *laughs* That's exactly what I said.

We began walking out when Mimosa kept talking.

Mimosa: You look so cute!

Me: Awww thank you. You look really adorable too.

Mimosa: You're so sweet, thank you so much.

Me: You're welcome.

She suddenly grabbed my hand and began running excitedly.

Mimosa: I have so much planned for us! Get ready because you'll be even more exhausted than how we were from our first mission.

Me: *super happy* Sounds Awesome!

[To think, this is the second time someone held me hand.

If Mimosa hadn't came at the moment she did, I know for a fact Yuno was going to...*blushes*...could that have really happened? Maybe he was going to remove something from my face or fix my hair because of the wind messing it up. But what if he really was going to kiss me? Like what could that mean? Could he really like me back? Could this change the way we are? Can this ruin it all? What's going to happen?? HELP!!!!!!!]
