You were walking into the local library to check out a few books for your little brother. He loved dinosaurs and what not so you didn't think the books would be that hard to find. Sitting in the corner of the library with his nose stuffed in a book was your childhood friend, Arthur Kirkland {England}. You have developed a small crush on him throughout the years, but you didn't want to ruin your friendship. As you walk over, he becomes aware of your presence and looks up from his book.
"Ah ____, fancy seeing you here. I would think you would be sucked into that twidda thing or whatever you call it" he laughs.
"It's called twitter you ninny. And I'm just here to get some books for Dennis" you scowl, but it goes away when you see him smile. [A/N: Yea your brother's name is Dennis. Change it if you like I don't care XD]
"That so darling? Do you need any help?" Arthur says, closing his book.
"Ah well I think the books are going to be easy to find on my own thanks. But you can come with me if you'd like" you grin.
"I suppose so. I'll probably head home afterwards anyway" he sighs. As you both look for the books, some of them fall on you from above.
"Uwaa!" you gasp, as they land on you one by one. From the other side of the bookshelf, you could hear Arthur's laughter. "Not funny Arthur" you say, pushing books onto him.
"Aw come on ____ you have to admit it kinda was" he continues to laugh, even when there's a bunch of books piled onto him.
"Either check out a book or get out" you hear a librarian say.
"S-sorry sir, won't happen again" you stutter, picking up the books and grabbing the ones you need. As you and Arthur walk out of the library, he turns to you.
"____, do you mind if I walk you home?" he asks, his cheeks a little pink.
"Sure, why not?" you smile, taking Arthur's hand with your free one. Both of your faces start to heat up, but none of you notice.
*Le fancy time skip*
You both stop in front of your house.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then?" you asks, walking up your driveway.
"Y-yea..." Arthur stammers. ".............W-wait!" you hear him say as he runs up and grabs your sleeve. You blush a little at his sudden action, but he doesn't seem to realize.
"Yea?" you ask, wondering what this was all about.
"Uh...ah...I've been meaning to say this...and...I'm afraid if I don't it will be too late....uh....you see...I....I love you ____" he says with a bright red face. You didn't expect him to like you, which surprised you when he admitted. You stood there silently for a second but you soon spoke up, not wanting him to think you don't feel the same way.
"I-I love you too Arthur. I have for awhile now but I was afraid our friendship would be ruined...." you reply, blushing madly. Seconds later, soft lips connect with yours. It was so sudden but you soon melted away into the kiss.
"S-see you around love?" Arthur smiles.
"See you around bookworm" you laugh as you walk back into your house, hands touching your lips. 'My lovely bookworm' you thought. 'All to me.'
[A/N: I hope you liked it. Please vote and leave comments if you want more or if you liked it. I'll try to write better ones in the future I promise. Let's just hope I don't get massive writers block. I mean, this one was off the top of my head so it's not that good. Sorry ;-; I might want to write a full fledged fanfic but I don't know yet. But for now, enjoy this.... ~Au revoir~ -Taylor]
