A couple of weeks has passed since me and Manuel went on our little, impromptu coffee date and we had gradually became closer friends and it felt really nice to be able to talk to him, and share the problems in my life.

I opened the door to my room and Manuel was there waiting for me on the end of my bed.

"Manuel? Hey I wasn't expecting you today. What's up?"

He looked up and I could see, instantly there was something wrong. His eyes were puffy and swollen. And all the happiness in his face looked drained out and dull.

"My mom's really sick and she's in the hospital right now and I have no idea what I should do."

I gulped. This wasn't a typical situation that I dealt with often, but I was going to try and make Manuel happy and get his mind off his mom.

"Hey,come on big guy. You're stronger than this. You're mum will get better soon and sooner than later you and her will be laughing and eating bratwurst again. "

Manuel shed a little smile, and that was enough to make me feel like I had done a good job at cheering him up. Manuel didn't really smile that often.

"Thanks Klara, that was pretty much the best advice someone had given me so far."

"You're welcome. I'm pretty much the best advice giver that you will ever meet in your lifetime." I said while flipping my hair backwards.

He laughed and so did I,because Manuel's laugh was that infectious and it could cause the whole world to smile. If only everyone in this world could hear Manuel's laugh, all the world's problems would be solved.

"Klara,let's go for some cake. I'm really trying not to be in a sad and depressive mood."

"So cake helps with depression? Alright,whatever I'll come with you."

We headed out and Manuel drove us to a quaint cafe,which apparently according to him, sold the best cheesecake in the world. And if I hadn't tried it before, I hadn't truly lived yet.

When I bit into the light and fluffy cheesecake, I groaned internally. This really was the best cheesecake I had eve tasted and trust me,I have tried a lot of cheesecakes.

Manuel looked at me with a sense of amusement and he started laughing silently.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked.

"You have cheesecake all over your mouth." He said,trying hard not to laugh too loudly,as we were in a public place.

I quickly took a tissue and rubbed everything off my mouth.

"You couldn't had told me earlier?" I asked,scoffing.

"No,because it was funny and I wanted to see your reaction and also because I wanted to see how long it would take for you to realize."

"Wow,such a good excuse. Do you use that for skipping training too?"

"No,when I skip training,it's always because there was a family thing going on."

I laughed at that.

"Klara,can I ask you something?"

"Sure,sounds serious but what is it?"

"I really do like you. You make me laugh and smile, cheering me up whenever I'm down. I really appreciate that. I always thought my feelings for you were strictly platonic and I thought you felt the same way. Which I didn't know whether this was the right thing to ask or not.

But Klara, I really like you so will you be my girlfriend?"

a/n what will Klara say? OhoHOOhooH #KLANUEL
