Tom's eyes peeled open slowly. His under eye bags told a story of his insomnia the past few nights.

"Ugh" he noticeably sighed in frustration. His little legs walked to the door and opened with slight hesitation. Herobrine stood tall in front of his porch. "Hello" his manly voice nearly echoed in Nook's ears.

"Hi." Nook said shyly. Intimated by the thick voice.

"I wanted to see if you'd come on a walk with me. Maybe show me around?"

"Oh, yes of course. I'm just gonna need an hour or so. To freshen up, and eat."

"It's a date." Brine put his hand on Tom's shoulder, before turning and walking away. Tom trembled under his touch, not being used to such affection. Had he said date? Herobrine turned around and looked back at Tom who still stood in the doorway. Tom immediately ran inside and shut the door behind him. "What was that?!" he shouted to himself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a few hours of mental and physical preparation, Tom exited his home, finding Brine sitting on his doorstep. Had he been here the whole time..? "Uh, hi." Tom stated flatly.

"Hello handsome." Brine smiled almost smugly.

Nook cleared his throat loudly, almost to a cough. "Shall we get started then?"

"Of course. Lead the way your highness."

"Alright, over here we have Mr. Blathers's museum, he's an extraordinary entomologist, his collection is vast." Nook was proud of his Island's museum curator.

"Can we go inside?" Brine asked.

"Well, I don't see why not."

"Fantastic." Brine grabbed nook's paw and dragged him into the museum. Nook was not shocked by this action, Brine seemed to be very touchy. However, he was shocked when herobrine didn't let go when they got inside.

"Brine? Do you want to go to the insect exhibits or the aquarium?"

"Insects. I'm quite fond of them. And I see you using my nickname. I like it."

"Well, I sure hope so, you came up with it."

"No, I like it coming from your mouth" He enunciated the your.

Tom's eyes widened, but Brine just laughed playfully. Nook's reaction had spurred his flirtation on. For the duration of the museum visit, Brine had continually spat lustful comments. Leaving Tom embarrassed.

When the pair had reached the butterfly observatory, Brine smiled down at Nook, who was admiring the pretty bugs flying above them. "This is my favorite room."

"Mine too" Tom smiled.
