Your pov

You really liked hanging out with Tino, but his roommate, Berwald, scared you. You were sure that he was nice enough. It's just that you tend to be a little shy around new people and his usually angry looking face made you a little nervous. He also towered over you, seeing as you were only 5 feet (153cm) tall. It probably would help a little if he talked, but he never made a sound towards you. Even so, you still found yourself at their house all the time to hang out with Tino and today you had planned a surprise visit. You'd baked a cake for him and it was supposed to be a surprise.

Smiling to yourself, you hopped up their front steps and knocked on the door. You jumped a bit when Berwald opened it. You worked you jaw for a second trying to form words. He stared down at you like you'd just cussed him out. That really didn't help your situation. Out of pure awkwardness, you held up the cake with a shaky hand.

"I-I made c-cake," You sputtered, shrinking into yourself under his overly intense gaze. He silently stepped to the side, motioning for you to come in. You entered as quickly as possible and disappeared into the kitchen to put your cake there.

"Tino should be home soon," Berwald said. The deep rumble of his voice startled you and you jumped about a foot into the air.

"O-okay," You said, softly. He stayed in the kitchen with you, but kept his distance. It was things like this that made you feel shy. You felt like you were being watched even though he wasn't paying any attention to you.

"Are you alright?" He asked. You jumped again, nodding quickly. You prayed to God that Tino would be home soon. You could feel your face heating up because of how exposed you felt alone in the kitchen with him. There wasn't anyone to hide behind now, just you and him. You must have looked like you were about to die because he walked over and placed the back of his hand against your forehead. "Do you feel sick?"

"N-Nope! Right as rain, actually!" You squeaked louder than you'll ever admit to.

"Hm," He grunted, taking his hand away from your face. With that, he turned to his laptop on the counter and began to tap away on it. It only took you a few minutes to realize that he was joining an online debate.

In the least creepy way possible, you watched it over his shoulder from a safe distance. He was actually very good at arguing respectfully. You watched for a little while long until you saw him get stuck on a point about the graphics of the video game. This brought out your own argumentative nature and, since you knew about the videogames they were talking about, you decided to help. Timidly, you tapped his shoulder and he glanced back at you. His frustrated expression made you shrink back a little, but you took a deep breath and let it out again.

"While the graphics in their game are better, the company gave it shit audio. Without good audio, it's a pain in the ass to get commands that it gives. Personally, I'd rather be able to understand what was going on than have disgustingly realistic ugly men," You said. He stared down at you in surprise for a second before turning and typing a slightly nicer version of what you'd said.

"Thanks," He said, leaning against the counter and looking at you. You blushed, giving him a sheepish smile. Tino was really the only one that heard you swear, so having Berwald hear that was a little embarrassing.

"Uh, n-no problem," You said, rubbing your arm.

"Would you go on a date with me?" He asked, suddenly. It took you by complete surprise because you were sure that he hated you. You blushed redder than a cherry as you opened and closed your mouth looking for words.

"W-Why?" You asked. His face dusted a very light pink at you response, you would have missed it if you hadn't been paying attention to him.

"You're sweet," He said, quietly. You took a deep breath, thinking back to what Tino had told you a few days ago. He told you that you should do things that scare you to break your shyness. Maybe this would be good for you.

"Sure, I'd love to go on a date with you," You said with forced confidence. His face softened a little bit and damn you to hell if you didn't think it was cute as fuck. You smiled back, as shy as ever. Just then, you heard the door open and Tino walked into the kitchen.

"(Y/N)?" He asked.

"Hi, Tino," You said, waving.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. You gestured to the cake that rested on the counter. He smiled at you and gave you a hug.

"I thought you would enjoy it. Oh yeah, I'm also going on a date with, Berwald," You giggled with a dopey grin. He looked shocked for a second before looking over at Berwald.

"You finally asked her. Good for you!" He cheered. You tilted your head with a confused look.

"What?" You asked. Tino looked at you and laughed.

"He's had a crush on you for the longest time," He said, laughing a little bit. He'd actually liked you all this time? That was shocking to you considering he'd creeped you out since you met him. You glanced at him and his face was pinkish, telling you that Tino was spot on.

"I wouldn't have guessed that," You said, quietly.

"He's not good with girls," Tino said. God, he was basically the soccer Mom that didn't know when to shut up and constantly embarrassed their child.

"Tino," Berwald said. It sounded almost like a groan even in his mostly monotone voice. You giggled lightly.

"Well, I guess that works because I'm not good with people," You said, shrugging. They both smiled at you and you blushed.

"Cute," You heard Berwald mutter. Your face heated up a little more and you bravely a little closer.

"You're cute," You said, shyly. You heard Tino laugh as Berwald blushed. Well, as awkward as you two were, you figured that you two would be one hell of a match.
