Stupid Cupid (Completed ☑️)

10: The Double Date - Part 2

- Bright's POV -

I now sit here in the lobby room of the cinema waiting for the two humans to appear.

Where's Win, you might ask?

Well, since it has been a while since he went out, there he is running around like a kid looking at all the things he has missed - humans. Right now he's watching a woman serve people with popcorn with awe. A while ago he was intently watching a man fry an ice cream that the man eventually got conscious and gave Win a free cup of ice cream just so he would leave him alone. I know Win read the man' s mind because he begrudgingly accepted the ice cream. That cupid, really. He's offended and all yet an he still accepted the bribe. If he was a human, he would definitely have diabetes by now with how too much sweets he eats.

He was also looking through the movies to show and although he really wanted to watch the latest romantic movie released, he knows he can't because he has a job to do. I actually offered for him to watch it while I do our plan with the two, but he refused.

I just hope he would not be too scared with the screams of the people later.

"Bright, Bright, Bright, Bright, Bright!!!"

Win is now running towards me with so much glee on his face.

That smile.

That damn smile.

Ever since I met this Amos, it has become a part of my routine everyday to see that smile.

Why?

I don't know.

I don't know what's drawing me in.

I don't know why it's making me... happy? Is this happiness humans talk about all the time? The feeling of butterflies - wait. Ew! What the hell am I saying?! This is Win's fault for making me watch too much romantic movies and for making me listen to him always about his cringey job.

Butterflies.

Psh.

How would they know what it is like to have butterflies in your stomach? Have they ever experienced it? Wouldn't that be fatal? To have a living organism that large flying around inside you?

I heave a deep sigh and shook my head as I think about how ridiculous these humans are.

And how ridiculous this cute cupid running towards me is for admiring and patronizing them so much.

"Bright!"

He stopped in front of me with a wide smile that makes his eyes crinkle. He suddenly held my hand and pulled me up.

"What? What's making you excited?"

"Come on! Let me show you something!"

He ran with his hand holding my wrist and as much as I can see humans looking at us, I don't care. I let Win pull me towards where he wanted to bring me.

I ran behind him, not freeing my hand from his, when he suddenly stopped in front of a man behind a stall, making cotton candies.

And although it's amusing to watch the man make cloud-like candies, I can't help but stare at how Win grips my wrist.

His touch.

His warm skin on my cold one.

I feel my heart frantically beating. This is unusual for an Azrali like me. Our hearts don't beat this fast.

But for some reason, these past two decades, Win has been making me feel differently. Suddenly, I have been spending less time on my job just so I could be with him longer. My name suddenly sounds sweet when he says it, when his fingers touch mine when I give him his sweets, I wish for it to linger longer.
