Y/N's POV

I held out the tulip in my fingers towards Wilbur and said what came to mind, I wasn't sure if I was being weird or not. He looked shocked and his face was as red as a rose, judging by his reaction no one had said anything like this to him before. Adleast in this setting.

I had read a few romance books during my time at home and I recall reading a scene similar to this, I was aiming for a romantic feel because i'm starting to think I have feelings towards Wilbur. The way he makes me feel is like no other I've felt before, my heart races when he smiles and I could look into his eyes forever. He's so patient, kind and caring, and makes my heart flutter.

One thing that is different from the books I've read though, he doesn't make me nervous or get butterflies in my tummy but makes me feel warm and safe, safer than Dream ever could. Everything is shifting in my world as I gaze into his soul, my perspective of who is who is changing and Wilbur is situated at the centre.

He finally speaks after being stunned by my boldish claim,

"You really think my eyes are beautiful?" He whispered, and didn't break eye contact, not once.  I'm surprised no one has told him that already because it's true.

"Certainly Wil, none like I've seen before." No one's eyes shone quite like Wilbur's or have  the same depth as his has. I spot his hand resting on his thigh and gently take it in my own, squeezing it slightly as reassurance. Wil broke eye contact to look down at our hands intertwined and smiled wide.

"I like this, us here." He spoke softly and gazed up at the blue sky above for a moment, taking in the sun rays while closing his eyes. He looked ethereal, so calm and relaxed.

"You do?" I already knew the answer but I wanted him to keep talking to me, I'm afraid if I blink or let go of his hand he'll disappear. He hummed in response which made his Adam's Apple bounce in his throat.

A moment of comfortable silence passes before Wilbur starts to get up, pulling me with him. I wait for an explanation of why we were moving and not long after he asks me a question,

"Come to L'manberg with me today, the tunnel there is ready and I can't wait any longer to show you." Wilbur asked hopefully and took my other hand in his awaiting my response, I did have a lot of work to still do today but he's here now and asking me so politely.

"What if Dream sees me there? He's on patrol today." I say worryingly but he shakes his head making the brown curls sway with him.

"No need to worry love, I will make sure you are not seen." He smiled kindly reassuring me I'll be fine in his care. The way my heart skipped a beat when he called me love was bliss, how could I say no?

"Alright, I trust you." In that moment I decided to put all my trust in Wilbur, not only to keep me hidden from Dream but to be possibly more than just friends.

A/n note: Fluff for y'all today, I'm really excited to build their relationship! Thankyou all so much for the 2.04k readers too omg
