Chapter 12: Is It A Date?

   The next day, as (Y/N), Alfred, and Matthew were walking to school, Alfred asked. "So, what were Arthur and Francis doing in our house yesterday?" Matthew nodded, also wanting to know the answer. (Y/N) blushed, remembering the conversation she had had with the two "intruders".
   "Uh... W-well they were talking about both of you..."
   The brothers looked at each other, worry showed on both of their faces. "Wh-what aboot us?" Matthew asked. She looked down at her feet, still blushing. The brothers looked at her in anticipation.
   "Th-they told me about s-some things you told them..."
   The brothers looked at each other again. They were about to ask for more information, when (Y/N) said, slightly above a whisper, "I-I've never been called p-pretty before..."
   Both Alfred and Matthew's faces became slightly tinted red. "S-so that's what they were telling you aboot?" Matthew asked. (Y/N) nodded. "I'm gonna get them for this," Alfred said through gritted teeth.
   "Actually...," she interupted, "I-I think it's nice you both said that about me. A-and that you like me enough to talk about me to your... Friends... I-It's actually n-nice to have heard that..." (Y/N) said, her face gradually became redder as she continued her statement.
   She stopped suddenly and wrapped her arms around both of them. They were taken aback by her sudden movement, but soon returned the gesture. This is nice... They all thought.
   (Y/N) separated from the hug and began walking. "Come on. We don't want to be late." The two boys smiled. They caught up with her and they walked to school.
   ~~~Timeskip~~~
   All throughout the first class, Alfred couldn't concentrate. He was distracted, looking at (Y/N). When he realized that he had feelings for her, he couldn't stop thinking about her.
   Her (H/L) (H/C) hair shined from the morning sun shining through the window. Her (E/C) eyes were focused as she wrote down the information. She really is pretty... Alfred mentally slapped himself. Ah! Stop thinking like that Alfred. You need to be concentrating on the material.
   But he couldn't. He kept glancing back at (Y/N) while he mindlessly took down notes. He began thinking of ways he could get closer to her...
   The bell rang, signaling class was over. The students all rose and began to leave the room. Alfred and (Y/N) walked out together.
   "Hey, (Y/N)?" She looked over at Alfred. He had a smile on his face. "Mattie's going out tonight. Do you wanna watch a movie with me?" (Y/N) smiled shyly. "Sure. It'll be fun."
   Alfred just smiled in return. But he had a different reaction in his mind. YESSSSS!!!!! I get to spend the entire evening alone with (Y/N)! Dude! This is gonna be awesome!
   The two waved goodbye and went to their separate classes.
   ~~~Timeskip to Lunch~~~
   Alfred, Matthew, and (Y/N) were sitting in their usual secluded spot to eat. Suddenly Alfred let out a loud sigh. "What is it?" asked (Y/N). Alfred pointed toward the school. Matthew and (Y/N) turned to see two figures walking toward them. They could clearly see who it was.
   "Bonjour, ma cheri," Francis said as he approached the group. Arthur was right behind him.
   "What do you guys want?" Alfred asked. "Can we not just visit our dear friends, hon?" Francis asked. "Well, you don't normally do this unless something's up," Alfred stated plainly.
   Arthur put his hand on (Y/N)'s shoulder. "Will you excuse us for a minute, love?" She nodded. Arthur and Francis took Alfred and Matthew aside and began talking with them in a huddled group. They occasionaly glanced at (Y/N), which made her worry and shift uncomfortably.
   She noticed Alfred and Matthew blushing. This piqued her interest, but she did not want to eavesdrop. Well... She wanted to, but that would be rude.
   Eventually, the four broke apart and went back to sitting by (Y/N). Matthew and Alfred's faces were still tinted red and they seemed to avoid looking the girl in the eyes.
   Meanwhile, Arthur and Francis seemed to be trying to stop themselves from completely bursting into laughter. (Y/N) really wanted to know what had been said, but was a bit scared to ask.
   "Well, we best be off," Arthur said. He and Francis stood and began to walk off. "Goodbye, love. Hope to be seeing you around," Arthur said with a grin. "Adieu, ma cheri," Francis said in his normal charming manner. The two walked away, but they didn't walk far before they started bickering.
   "Um... Wh-what was that about?" (Y/N) asked. The two brothers just stared down at the ground, their faces were still tinted red.
   "C-come on guys... Y-you can trust me..."
   They both let out a small sigh. "W-we'll tell you another time, (Y/N)," Matthew said, his usual small smile returning to his face. Alfred grinned. "Yeah! Don't worry it's nothing the Hero and his sidekick can't handle!"
   (Y/N) giggled. Her laughter made the brothers happy. They wanted to see her like that all the time. They wanted her to stay with them forever... And be happy... Whatever made her happy... No matter what it was... That would make them happy... That's what they had decided on. No matter who she chose, if she was happy, neither of them would be angry.
   The bell rang. Lunch was over and the three began to pick up their stuff and head back to class. They all went their separate ways when they went inside the school.
   For the rest of the day there was only one thing one Alfred's mind. All he was thinking about was how awesome hanging out with (Y/N) would be.
   He thought about what movie they should watch, what kind of popcorn he should make, if he should order pizza or not... Was... Was this a date?!?
   This question popped into his mind. I-is this a date? He felt his face heat up and he put his head in his hands to hide his probably red face.
   He felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up into the red eyes of one of his closest friends. "Ze awesome me is noticing ze not as awesome, yet still pretty awesome, you is not acting like normal."
   "Oh... Yeah... I-I'm just thinking about something dude.."
   His friend Gilbert sat next to him. "Come on und tell me. Ze awesome me is a great listener."
   "Well... I invited this girl to watch a movie with me while Mattie's out..." He was interupted by his friend's laughter. "Kesesesese~ So, you've got a crush on this girl then?"
   The red tint on Alfred's face became more noticeable. "I'll take that as a yes. Kesesese~"
   "Yeah well... This girl makes me feel different. I'm normally super confident, but this chick just makes my heart beat faster and... I get all nervous... I don't know, dude... Well anyway I asked her, and she said yes. Now I'm wondering if this is a date or not..."
   Gilbert scratched his head for a moment. "Why don't you just let it play out and see vat happens?"
   "Yeah! That's a pretty good idea. Thanks, dude!" Alfred grinned.
   "Kesesesese~ Ze awesome Gilbert is always there for his friends!"
   The bell rang. Alfred said bye to Gilbert and left to go find (Y/N).
