⊹ Authors POV ⊹

     "THERE'S A WHAT?" Flug asked.

You then went over to the slot machine, excitedly grinning. "It's a toy vending machine. You know, you pop in a quarter and get a prize?" You told him.

He walked over towards you and inspected the machine. "This is for children [y/n]." He said as he looked over at you.

You rolled your eyes and took out a quarter. "Who cares about that? This stuff is always fun!" You exclaimed.

You then inserted the coin and moved the handle. Then out popped a capsule with something inside. You picked yours up, it was a tiny airplane. You smiled at the toy and remembered that Flug loves them.

You went up to Flug who was watching you and your childish behavior. "Flug look! It's a plane!" You cheered as you handed him the small toy.

He observed the tiny plane before looking back at you. "I um, thank you [y/n]." He thanked you as his chest felt like he was dying even though it was just his feelings for you starting to grow.

He then sighed and took out a quarter. He placed it in the slot and turned the handle. Out popped another capsule.

He opened it and saw a toy ring. "A ring?" He said surprised.

You smiled at him. "Yep, these machines are always full of random toys! Man, I miss doing this as a kid." You quietly spoke as you reminisced of your childhood.

As Flug put the small toys in his lab coat pocket, he then took your hand. "Hey, how about we go look around some more." He offered.

You eagerly agreed. So the both of you finished the walk in the park and headed downtown where some restaurants were.

"Oooh, maybe we should get something to eat!" You suggested.

Flug looked at the restaurants you both passed by. "Sure, but I'm not sure we have the same currency here. Although, those slot machines did work...maybe it was just because of the shape and size." He said aloud, thinking a bit.

You thought as well, but it was hard when a couple proposed by the restaurant. Then a bunch of employees from there gave the couple a surprise dessert and sang.

You placed your fist in your palm. "Bingo! What if we fake a proposal? I mean, usually big things like that get celebrated like what just happened." You explained to Flug.

He looked over at the couple and then at you. He started sweating. "P-propose to you?" He stammered.

You laughed. "Well not really, just so we can get a free dessert. So, how good are you at acting?" You asked him with a sly grin.

He looked at your sparkling [e/c] eyes, filled with mischief and joy. He felt the toy ring in his pocket.

"Let's do this." He agreed with a nervous chuckle.

He offered his hand to you, you grinned and took his hand. "Woo! Time to go fake a proposal and get free dessert!" You happily cheered.

You two walked into a restaurant close by. A waiter led you two to a table in the back. You were trying your best not to giggle, thinking of your odd plan.

You glanced over at Flug who was sitting across from you. He met your eyes and gave a small nod.

Then, he got up and kneeled by you, you gasped and placed your hands on your face.

He then looked at you, he felt nervous but shoved that aside.

"[y/n], mi amada [my beloved], I-I love you. Truly, and all of these y-years we spent together made me realize...I want to marry you! So, will you marry me?" He spoke a bit louder, getting the other workers' attention.

They crowded by you and gasped. "Oh my goodness Flug!" You exclaimed, a blush forming on your face.

One of the workers nudged you. "C'mon girl, don't leave him hanging! What's your answer?" One of the workers asked you.

The others awaited your response. You then smiled brightly at Flug.

"Yes, I accept! I l-love you too Flug!" You confessed with a small stutter.

Flug slipped on the fake ring as the crowd cheered.

"We've got to celebrate! Free dessert, for you lovely couple!" The head waiter exclaimed with tears brimming in his eyes.

The crowd left, going to do their work. You and Flug sat back in your seats.

You then grinned over at Flug. "Oh my god! It worked! And so easy too. Your acting skills were amazing, doc!" You told him.

He blushed under his bag. 'Haha, if only you knew...' "Thank you [y/n], I could say the same about you." He sighed.

It was your turn to blush. You nervously glanced at him and then the toy ring. 'I don't like him like that...do I? No, but it was nice pretending to be...lovers..' You thought.

You then decided to lighten up the conversation. "You know, as much as my uncle would've hated me ever dating somebody, I think he would've liked the fact that I'm engaged to a doctor." You said with a laugh.

Flug eased up, still feeling flustered as hell. "Really now?" He responded.

"Mhmm, he always told me that if I should go for anything, go for smarts. And you know what, he was right—I meant, smart people like you um..I like that it's um, charming in a way..." You blurted out and then tried to make it better but couldn't.

'Oh god...I'm so awkward..' You angrily thought.

Flug adjusted his lab coat. 'Was she....flirting? Or am I overthinking? Did she mean it?...probably not..'

He then casted his gaze back onto you. "I would say that your uncle was smart with that advice, but I don't think I'm that type of smart guy that people want. I'm more of a nerd anyways, hahaha..." He trailed off.

You put your hands on the table and looked at him with a soft expression. "No Flug. You're amazing! If I was to choose any 'nerd' it'd be you! I mean, your knowledge on planes is fascinating. And how you can just make inventions from your thoughts, that's incredible! You always seem to think of yourself badly, but you're pretty cool doc!" You told him, your hands holding his.

He didn't even know how to respond to that. He held your hands and felt his heart flutter. Was this what falling for somebody was like? Actually feeling your body go haywire when you're next to them. Getting flustered all the time?

Huh, he did like you.

"R-really?" He stuttered.

You gently squeezed his hands. "Every word. Even if this was actually real, I'd like it very much." You softly smiled at the doctor.

Those words. That whole sentence. Did this mean that you were actually interested in him? He was about to ask you before the waiter came by with surprisingly your favorite dessert.

You smiled and thanked the waiter before you and Flug ate the free dessert.
