summary: your helping gilbert at his orchard and you both fall asleep together.


You were never afraid to get your hands dirty, unlike other girls.

So, when you overheard Gilbert talking about that he needed help at his apple orchard.

You were thrilled to offer your help.

You shuffled in the direction of Gilbert, you wanted to offer your help but he was surrounded by the other boys and you were afraid what they might think of you.

Suddenly Gilbert stood up and walked away, in your direction.

All your rehearsed lines were now swirling around in your mind, you tried to get out of this situation when Gilbert kept coming closer and closer to you.

You stood frozen before him when he almost bumped into you.

"Sorry Y/n" – he quickly said as he made his way past you.

You bit on your under lip and whiteout thinking you grabbed his arm.

Gilbert looked again at you and frowned, "I volunteer!" – you blurted out, leaving Gilbert confused.

"Uh ... volunteer for what? Y/n" – he asked you frowning again and turning his body more towards you.

"Uh ... For uh ... you know ..." – you stuttered. You were so confident and had it all thought trough but when you were now face to face with him. It seemed at lot harder to ask him.

You tried to avoid eye contact. It was then that you noticed you were still holding his arm.

You squealed and released your grip of his hand. Gilbert laughed at bit when he saw you being anything but yourself.

"So, Y/n are you going to tell me what you are going to volunteer for or ..." – he asked you, trying to figure out what you were speaking of.

You took a deep breath and said a few encouraging words in your mind before you spoke. "I overheard you need help at your orchard and I wanted to offer my help" – you then looked down and played with a piece of your skirt.

Gilbert suddenly looked surprised "Oh ... Well in that case, sure".

You lifted your head quickly and started babbling "Is it because I'm a girl that you think I'm not strong enough or is it because it's not really lady like to help ...".

Gilbert shook his head as he thought it was funny how you heard the wrong answer.

He grabbed you by your shoulders and you immediately stopped talking.

"Y/n" – he said looking deep into your eyes "I said It's okay, you can help me".

"Wait what" – you replied confused "Are ... Are you sure?"

He nodded and let go of your shoulder's "We'll start after school, so this means you will have to walk with me home".

You laughed awkward "Not a problem at all Gil ... I mean Gilbert" – you corrected yourself immediately.

He laughed soft and started to walk towards his desk. You also turned around to avoid that anyone could see your red face.

School soon ended and Gilbert was already waiting for you outside.

"Ready Y/n" – he said as he saw you approach him, you nodded and walked beside him.

As Gilbert was explaining everything to you about his orchard, every word he said made you think it maybe was a bad idea.
