"Oh, Wind Archer, thank you so much. I don't think I can ever repay you." 

"It's no problem, really," Wind Archer replied graciously to the cookie, as he safely whisked their pet back to them.

In the distance, three people were watching the archer, or more primarily, one specific one.

 "Ah, Wind Archer, why are you so perfect?" Herb sighed as he watched Wind Archer, a lovestruck smile on his face, a faraway look in his eyes. 

"Stop pining for him and just ask him out already, will you, Herb? If I have to hear you talk about how great he is one more I swear!" 

Cinnamon quickly exclaimed as Mint Choco nodded in agreement. The violinist lowered his cup of coffee and opened his bright green eyes. 

"How long have you had this crush for Herb..?"

"Ah.. um.." 

Herb's eyes never left the green haired archer as his blush seemed to deepen. 

"I can't remember.." Cinnamon raised his eyebrow at him questingly. 

"Seriously? Herb come on! Confess!" 

Herb was immediately brought out of his daydreaming and looked at Cinnamon with a frightened look.

 "I-I couldn't! Look at him! He's such a great and powerful.. and Dreamy.. and handsome.. and..."

 "Herb.." Mint interrupted.

 "Ah.. um right.. What I meant to say was.. he's a hero! He's basically a legend! He'll never like me.." 

Cinnamon stood up from his seat. "Confess!! He doesn't like anyone now and I'm sure he would be interested in you!" 

Mint stood up and turned towards Cinnamon. 

"Let's go and help him confess." Cinnamon nodded. He waved Wind Archer over, and the other cookie approached them, an awkward smile on his face most likely due to the fact that the legendary almost never smiled. 

"Hi Herb." He has a slight dusting of pink on his face, from exertion, most likely.

 "How are you?" 

Herb was fully blushing now. "H-hi Wind Archer.I'm great! Thank you for asking... I just wanted to say that.. y-you w-were amazing when you saved ...everyone!" 

Wind archer was taken back from Herb's sudden exclamation which made Herb suddenly feel a sudden strike of anxiety. It seemed like Wind Archer blushed more. Probably from exertion. 

"I.. thank you Herb.." 

Herb tried very hard to ignore his friends whispering and the occasional snickering by smiling nervously. 

"Y-You're welcome! I-I just wanted to let you know how amazing you are..." 

Herb held the pot in his hands tightly to his chest as he forced his eyes to look into the deep green shade of the forest. His eyes... His eyes were so beautiful.. 

"Thank you Herb... it is my duty to help the people of this kingdom...it's good to know that I am doing a good job."

When Wind Archer looked away, seemingly nervously  Herb realized he was literally swooning in front of the legendary. Right in front of him. He quickly pulled himself to his senses and laughed nervously. 

His friends quickly noticed that Herb was stuck and whispered to each other before Cinnamon walked up to Herb. 

"So... Herb here wants to tell you something other than the thing he just told you. Right, Herb?"

Herb looked at Cinnamon nervously and then looked back at Wind Archer. He nodded quickly. Wind Archer looked into Herb's eyes and nodded. 

"What did you want to tell me, Herb?"

Herb was finally going to confess. He was going to confess! A sudden surge of confidence went through him as he opened his mouth.

"I-! I-.. I.. I-I"

Yeah, he couldn't do it. Mint quickly went over and whispered in Herb's ear. 

"It's okay Herb. Just say it. Nothing bad will happen."

Wind Archer was looking at Herb with concern at this point when he finally blurted out with a red blush on his face.

"I-I like you..! A lot.. will you go on a date with me?" 

Herb clung onto his pot tightly as he examined Wind Archer's face. There was a small hint of surprise on his face before he blushed again. Wind Archer smiled softly, and Herb's eyes lit up. The sun seemed to grow brighter and for a moment it seemed like it was only him and Wind Archer.

"Of course I will. Actually Herb... I've been meaning to ask you that for a while."

By now Cinnamon and Mint ran off probably to watch in a bush but Herb didn't mind as all he wanted was going to happen in that very moment. Herb was blushing profusely now.

"R-really..?

Wind Archer nodded and looked away shyly. He's so cute.. Herb thought.

"You are a very kind soul.. and you have a great love for your friends and nature.. I find that very admirable... and...nice.."

Herb felt so happy right now.

"I-I! Thank you so much... it means a lot coming from you... since you're so amazing.. and wonderful..."

They both fell silent for a short while, not knowing what to say before Herb piped up

"W-when would you like to have the date? Anytime that works best for you is good for me.."

Wind Archer nodded and thought to himself for a while.

"I am free now..."

"Really? That's great! Here..."

It took all of Herb's self-confidence to grab ahold of Wind Archer's smooth and cool hand.

"I have a wonderful place we could have a date in..."

Wind Archer smiled at Herb and tightened his hand around Herb's

"I know I will love wherever you take me, Herb."

.  .   . 

Meanwhile Cinnamon and Mint, along with Sparkling were spying in a bush. Cinnamon stood up.

"Oh.. that was so cute... and it worked out perfectly! What do you think Mint?"

"I'm certainly happy that herb finally confessed but... Was it really necessary to spy on him?"

Sparkling spoke quietly, mostly afraid that if anyone heard them and saw them they would seem really weird.

"It's crucial because we need to know what happened so we can tease him."

"That's still not a good reason.."

"Hey! At least they're dating now!"

The three of them nodded in agreement as Herb happily walked off with a happy Wind Archer.
