Y/N POV:

You met Raymond the first day you got on the island.

Pretty lucky, huh? Yes, yes indeed. You were happy to have such a nice, gorgeous villager on your island.

Not like Daisy wasn't as nice as him, but... You had a thing for Raymond. You still do. And pretty much every resident of the island knows at this point.

No one's POV:

Raymond did not understand why you always stuttered when talking to him, and at the begginning he thought you were just shy, but you were fine with everyone else. He was begginning to believe it was him: maybe you disliked him and you were talking to him only to be polite.

He really took that by heart. Because he also had a thing for you, but always thought you were too much for him. And maybe you were. At least for him.

Isabelle, Daisy and the others had to see this scene everyday: you approach him, stutter, slip away because you thought you screwed, he'd sigh then think what could he have done to be disliked by you.

The others tried everything: Apollo invited the both of you to a dinner at his place, then spent the whole time in the bath to give you space, but nothing; Daisy organized a picnic!... same result; Isabelle gave you a task and you bumped into him. Again, nothing.

... Marcel was sick of this. You two were besties since day one, so he knew in what struggle you were. So he set up a plan. He wrote a letter to the both of you, sending you two to an island with a motor boat.

Boy, wasn't he a genious? Yeah, but also no. Did he charge the batteries? No.

+ The next morning +

Raymond's POV:

This better be good, Marcel! I didn't wake up early for nothing!

*Sigh* He said this is gonna be a nice surprise tho... So I should hurry.

Oh! I am already on the shore! Next to the boat than Marcel told me about. So I get in.

And who do I see approaching? Non other than my crush Y/N! But they seem nervous... Oh God, what did I do wrong? Why do they hate me so much?

" Hi Y/N!" They jolt upwards, like I have just yelled at them, but I haven't.

"O-oh hi Raymond! Did Marcel tell you to come too? I told him so many times I can take care of myself!"

Wait what do they mean by that?

"Ready to be wild Raerae?"

What-when-HOW?! What happened to Y/N!? I can't see any trace of nervousness on their face! I'd even say they are more...bold. I really like this side of them.

+Lil' timeskip brought by Marcel's waggy-tail!+

I wonder where we are going... It's pretty far, and they seem very well equipped. But equipped for what? UGH! I hate not knowing things!

"Almost there Raerae." "...What's with the nickname?" "O-oh. You don't like it? I was trying to be more social around you... I feel guilty for not talking much to you..." "...It's ok. I understand. Please don't worry about it, ok?"

They nod, then...

"We are here!"

I look around, only to see an OTHER deserted island! But smaller.

"...Here where?"

They stands proudly looking forward:

"This is a place where I go to get away from the stress and relax. Sometimes the others push me a bit about a reccurrent thing. I think Marcel thought I needed company."

Y/N then turns to me and smiles.

"I am glad you are here tho. I really wanted to spend time with you."

I am dumbfolded: They wanted to spend time with me!?!? This is GREAT!! Right what I needed to confess.

"You know... I really wanted to hang out as well. I'm glad we finally get the chance to."

And then thunders happen. They flinch rather harshly, so I assume they are astraphobic ( Means you are scared of thunders). It's very odd, because they like the rain. Huh, guess it's only the thunders.

"You alright? Wanna go back? We can come another day." "Y-yeah-"

An other thunder interrupts them. I am feeling so bad only watching them: they are shaking in fear. Grr, darn you, thunders.

We get on the boat and they try and turn the motor on, but nothing happens. I start panicking, but they must be scared as well. They don't show that tho. They seem almost calm. Like they know what to do.

"Ok. We are gonna stay here for the night, then tomorrow we are gonna build some paddles and row home, alright? I already have a place set here for this kind of eventualities. Over here."


We both get out of the boat after securing it and we walk to a shack.

"You built this your own?! You really are amazing Y/N!" "You think so? Th-"

An other thunder goes, and they jump again. Man, it must be terrible to have this phobia... They are shaking like a leaf in the wind and they have tears in the corner of their eyes treathening to fall. 'I can't take this. I can't see them so scared.' I make my way torwards them, grab their hand and drag them in a corner. They are confused and they don't move from their spot, so I use this moments to scramble around the house gathering as many pillows and blankets I can find, building a fluffy, cozy nest, then lift them up and cuddle with them. I also start purring, and I think they find it relaxing, because they reach for my ear and scratch me there, making me purr harder.

"I'll protect you from the bad thunders Y/N. It's gonna be ok.". They nod, then turn their face facing mine, then they do the thing I dreamed of so much... They kiss me. On the nose, but it still counts, because that means they likes me. Then they mumble something.

"Huh? I didn't catch that." "I said: Curse you thunders.... and also thank you..." "Why is that?" "Now we are a thing, right? That's why...."
