You wiped your forehead with your arm. You had just finished brewing about ten or so potions and it was sweltering in your workshop. You would've opened a window but it was even more hot outside, opening it only would've made the place hotter. You rested your forehead against the cool counter. You rested there for moment before straightening back up.

You walked back over to the bundle of potions. Currently, you were wondering how on earth were you going to transport these potions. Bad was borrowing your basket so the easy way was ruled out. Eventually you settled on moving them by hand. You rolled your sleeves up to your elbows and put all the potions in your arms, cradling them. Before hand you left the door open so you could easily leave.

As you walked out you closed the door with your foot. So far everything was going good as you strolled the halls - although you did stumble a few times. When you turned a corner you felt your clothes tug back. You tried to turn sideways to see what was keeping you but it was hard since your arms were very full with fragile items.

You found out that the waistline of your shirt was caught on a corner. You carefully walked backwards so that it would get un caught, you then kept your gaze on the same spot making sure you wouldn't get caught again. As you moved forward you bumped into someone causing you to drop a potion. You should've payed attention where you were walking.

You expected the potion to smash on the floor and create a big mess but luckily, someone had grabbed it before it fell on the floor.

"Ah thank you so much," You looked up to see who you were thanking. "Wilbur?"

He smiled at you. "Hello Y/n, Bad sent me to give you back your basket."

Thank god Bad returned it, just in time too. "Oh well thank you for returning it and helping me make less of a mess."

He giggled. "Uh do you need some help carrying those?"

You glanced down at the bundle of potions in your arms. "No I think i'll be okay. But do you mind helping me transfer them into the basket?"

He nodded. "Yeah of course." He stepped closer to you and helped move them to where you wanted.

A soft smile formed on your face. "Thanks again."

He helped you up. "Anytime."

You bent down to pick up the basket, but failed as it was a bit to heavy.

You could hear him stifle a laugh.

You felt your face flush with embarrassment. "Hey don't laugh at the sight of me struggling."

He let out a low chuckle. "Sorry sorry. Are you sure you don't need help?"

You picked the basket up with both hands. "Yeah i'll be good, it'll get lighter anyways."

He swayed back and forth on his heels. "Alright well, I guess you should get going now."

You felt slightly upset that he didn't want to talk to you anymore. "Yeah I guess I should."

You started to walk away.

"Wait."

You turned around to face him.

He played with his hands. "Can I talk to you later tonight?"

You smiled. "Yeah sure, where should I meet you?"

His face lit up. "At the village, at let's say twelve?"

You giggled. "Sounds great."

"Right, i'll see you then."

As he walked away you felt the butterflies flutter around in your stomach. You spun around and silently cheered. You couldn't wait to meet him.
