[We're going to put the reader as about 27 years old, and went to college to study International Affairs in order for this story to make sense.]
A few days later, you were relaxing on your couch as you searched for part-time job opportunities. The arena was pretty empty. Employers were looking for waitresses and the like, but you were over with those. You'd been working in that diner years. Besides, now that you're older, more job opportunities should open up, right? A sigh parted from you as you resolved to give up for the day. The idea of a nap sounded very appealing, so you grabbed your nearby blanket and got cozy on the couch. You quickly dozed off and slept peacefully.
At least, you were until someone basically busted your door down. A murderer? The police?
"Cousin Elizabeta?" You looked up from your spot on the couch as the woman made her way in, holding a thousand bags and going a mile a minute.
"I didn't know which one to get you so you I got you all of them!" You stared at her with a dead look in your eye.
"W-welcome back, Elizabeta." She placed her items on the floor before scooping you up into a hug, literally lifting you off of the couch.
"I missed you so much, kedves gyermek (dear child)." She hugged you tighter.
"Én is (me too)," you gasped. She nearly dropped you to the ground in her surprise.
"Have you been practicing Hungarian?!" You didn't have the heart to tell her that you'd just been messing around with Google Translate, so you just nodded. A bigger smile spread across her face. "Oh, this is lovely! You must show me everything you know!" Your phone buzzed.
Arthur: Are you ready for our run today?
"Saved by the bell", you thought as you apologized to your cousin. "Sorry Elizabeta, I had a meet up scheduled with my friend today, so--"
"Oh, say no more," she said with a smirk, "go on ahead. I had a dream that you had met someone new. Make sure you tell me everything about him when you get back, okay?" You blushed heavily as you went back to your room to change into some nice sweats for today.
For the first time in a while, it was sunny out. As you walked to the park, you noticed it was the perfect conditions for a nice day of exercise with a friend. Just past the playground where you first met Arthur's kids was a pond. A paved pathway lined by some trees circled around it, making it the perfect spot for runners. Farther off in the grass was where exercise and yoga classes were held for those that preferred to be instructed.
Today though, it would just be you and Arthur. If his blond hair didn't make him easier to spot, those eyebrows sure did. You wondered if they were natural. He waved at you as you approached him. He was relaxing on a bench, water bottle in hand.
"Hello love. Ready?" You laughed, stretching as he stood up.
"Always am. Wanna race?"
"You sound just like Alfred. I don't see why not, since I still need to show off my skills." You couldn’t help but to roll your eyes as his arrogance came back. Instead of responding to his claims, you took off running. He was too busy bragging to notice you getting ahead.
"Hey wait, that's not fair!" He began sprinting in an attempt to catch up.
"You're not very skilled in modesty," you laughed, powering forward. "First one back to that bench wins!" That was the last thing you told him before leaving him in the dust.
After a while, you started to feel bad as you watched his huffing form try to catch up, so you slowed down. He was finally able to match your pace.
