(Y/n)'s POV.

Unsurprisingly, it didn't take long until we ran into Lancer and Susie again. Grandet, they were just sitting there by a tree stump, eating whatever it is they're eating. Ralsei went up to them with that sweet smile of his. "How's the evil scheming going?"

"Huh? Oh, that? We, uh, got bored. So we're having a snack." Susie explained and Ralsei tilted his head to the side. "I see..." Susie seemed to get irritated by that response because she immediately got defensive. "C'mon! All I ate today was chalk and that wierd burger we had earlier!"

"And I didn't eat anything!" Lancer buted in. Raslei sweat dropped. "Sorry. What are you two having, exactly...?"

"Just a daily treasure I hid in this stump's orifice." Lancer explained proudly, patting the top of the stump. "Which is...." I dragged out the 'is', wanting him to finish my sentence. "Feast for yourself, my fair maiden!" The little spade grinned. I could hear a low growl coming from beside me, I glanced from the corner of my eye to find Kris glaring daggers at Lancer, who was completely oblivious by the stare. 'Is he mad that Lancer called me that? Or is he jealous? Of a 9 year old? Note to self: definitely use that against him at some point'

Shrugging it off, I checked to tree stump, only to find a honeypot of salsa inside the stump. I dipped my finger in it and ate some. It tasted like regular old salsa but... Something was still off... I just couldn't put my finger on what it was. Susie noticed my confused expression. "Mmm... Hey, what's in this?" She asked. Lancer smiled at her innocently. "I don't know!" He replied without a care in the world.

I could feel myself getting a bit pale. "Well... that's.... a bit scary...." I said in a monotone voice, not knowing what to do now. Kris immediately got mad. "Are you nuts! How could you not know what's in it!?" He yelled, rushing to my side, taking me in his arms, checking my forehead for tempeture and my skin for any rashes. "Doll? Are you okay? How are you feeling? Why did you just eat it! Who knows what's in that stuff!?" I never heard this tone from him, it was angry but still full of concern. It certainly made me blush.

"I already told you, I don't know what's in it! Didn't you listen to me!?" Lancer said, sounding offended. I laughed and face-palmed, finding this situation so stupid. "I'm fine, guys. Really. No need to wor--" I was cut off.

"No need to worry my ass! What if you're allergic to something in it! What if it's Poisoned? Or it has gone bad?" Kris growled, cupping my face with his gloved hands, scanning my face. "It's neither poisoned, nor is it bad. Your little girlfriend will be fine." Susie kind of reassured, stuffing her mouth with a handful of salsa to prove her point. I felt myself heat up by what she said. "Stil--" Kris was about to argue again but this time, I cut him off, placing my hands on his wrists, while he was still holding my face. "Kris, I'm alright. The texture just surprised me, that's all. I'll be fine."

The boy pouted slightly, scanning my face once more. He raised one of his hand to my forehead, checking my tempeture again before sighing. "okay..." He gave in, kissing my forehead, startling me as my face exploded in blush.

"But if you start feeling sick, just tell us and maybe Ralsei can heal you." I just nodded, still speachless after what just happened. "Y-Yeah, I-I w-will!" I managed to squeeze out of my lungs. Kris chuckled, taking my hand in his his and kissing it for reassurence. I couldn't hold the smile growing on my face. 'He's so sweet all of a sudden. I could get used to this...'

All of a sudden, I hear from behind us. "Jeez, get a room you guys!" Susie smirked. "S-Shut up!" I yelled, crossing my arms.

"Uhm..." Ralsie cleared his throat. "Kris does have a point, (Y/n). If you start feeling not so good, then just tell me and I can use my heeling spell on you." I smiled through my embarrassed state. "I will... Thank you Ralsei." He gave me a smile aswell.

"Well? Does anybody want a refill?" Lancer asked and Kris, Ralsie and me immediately went "Nope!" in sinc.

"Hey, love birds and third wheel!" Susie called over to us. 'What did she say!?' "We're not--" Kris and I began but were interupted my Susie. "Oh spare me... My power's lowered by my hunger right now... But once I eat something.... Hehehehe.... You really shouldn't of pissed me off, man" She flashed her sharp teeth in Ralsei direction, who immediately went behind me, peeking over my shoulder. "It's 'shouldn't have'" He corrected carefully. "Silence, you sweet basket of eggs! Our dark energy bends the rules of grammar!"

"Hehehe, yeah, eggboy!" Susie agreed. I could have snapped at them for saying something mean to my best friend, even if it was a bad one but then I had an idea on how to get on Susie nerves and I smirked.

"Very creative insult. You seem like a dream team already.~" I teased  knowing it would make Susie mad again, which worked, of course. She snarled and gave me a death glare. Before she could say anything though, Lancer answered for her. "Thank you!" The young spade seemed very excited. I flashed a knowing smile in Susie's direction, which made her scoff and look to the side with a huff.
