Growing Feelings 2 (Bertholdt x Reader) College AU

First Date (part 2)

Dating Bertholdt was a dream come true.

As I walked arround the amusement park, firmly holding his hand in mine, I could feel the warmth traveling across my body. Sure, it could be from the sun that was shinning bright that day, or it could be from the excitement of the rides we tried out. 

But I knew it was something more than that. Being with him like this... was a sort of happiness I had not felt before.

It was like a familiar feeling, so cozy and comfortable... 

However...

I wish he would feel the same way arround me.

I looked at his face once more, trying to understand how he was feeling. Even though he had just said that nothing was wrong, I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

I grabbed his hand tighly which made him stop and turn to face me.

He gave me a smile that felt sincere. 

Maybe I was overthinking it.

- Shall we go to that one next? - he asked as he pointed to the ferris wheel.

- Yeah!

We waited a bit in line until it was our turn, and then Berthold gently holded the door for me to enter first.

He placed himself on the seat in front of me and after a bit our cabin started to move.

- (Y/n)... you know I really care about you, right?

- Yeah... - I replied, looking at the landscape as the cabin slowly got higher.

- You know... that I... love you right?

I turned to look at him and he looked so serious that I tried to alleviate the mood.

- Yes? - I said while letting out a little chuckle - That's the reason you asked me out right? Unless your purpose was something else... - I raised both eyebrows and widened my eyes.

- W-what do you mean?? - he said while starting to blush - I didn't do it for something else! That wasn't my intention-

He got up from the chair in the heat of the moment and ended up hitting his head in the ceiling of the cabin. I felt everything shaking for a bit with the impact while Bertholdt got down, slowly going back to his seat.

- ... I'm sorry. - he said with his cheeks burning red and with an angry expression.

Not being able to contain myself from what just happened I started to laugh and his face turned from upset to pouting.

- Stop laughing... - he spoke with a low voice.

Since I continued to chuckle, Bertholdt got closer and grabbed my left arm firmly which wouldn't allow me to move. I looked at him while still smilling, surprised by his sudden boldness.

- I said stop laughing.

With his left hand he grabbed my cheek gently and leaned over for a kiss. Even though he made the first move, he still waited right before he reached my face, so I would make the rest of the way on my own, showing him that I wanted it too.

Our lips touched in a very gentle kiss. We took it slowly, until Bertholdt broke the kiss to slightly bite my lower lip. I looked at him and he still looked like an upset child. I couldn't help but smile again.

- Bonk - I whispered, thinking back at the sound his head made when hitting the metal.

Sporting a face that screamed how dare you, Bertholdt put both is arms arround me, pinning me against the cabin.
