Inseparable - Ferb x Emma (OC)

Anticipation

Ferb walked in the door and as soon as he closed it, he leaned against it.

"Hey, buddy, where were you and Emma?" Phineas said, eating a bowl of cereal in the kitchen.

"We skipped school. No big deal." he smirked and ran upstairs.

"Wait, what? Who are you and what did you do with my brother?" Phineas laughed, putting his bowl down and running up the stairs.

Ferb plopped on his bed, arms behind his head and one leg propped on the other. He closed his eyes and smiled.

"Oh, boy, I know that look. She kissed you, huh?" Phineas laughed.

Ferb laughed and nodded. "Multiple times..." he sighed.

"Ferb! Really?" Phineas said. "I'm gonna sound like a teenage girl, but WHAT HAPPENED?" Phineas sat down on his own bed, facing Ferb. "Tell me everything!"

"Well, okay it started this morning before the bus. I went over there and we met at her door, and I kinda, sorta... kissed her. Without thinking. She told me that it was too soon and she didn't want to get into anything." Ferb said.

Phineas flinched. "Ouch, bro, I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay! It was awkward on the bus ride, but when we got to school, Gracie came behind her and pushed her, so I turned her around, and she was being... Gracie... and I grabbed Emma's hand and we ran to our next class. She got mad at me for helping her and then started crying in class."

"She did what?" Phineas asked, raising an eyebrow. "You helped her... and she got mad?"

"Yeah. She told me to let her take care of it because she didn't need, and I quote, a big strong man solving all her problems."

"Jeez, she seems a little... feminist much?" Phineas laughed.

Ferb rolled his eyes at his brother. "It wasn't her fault. She told me it made her feel weak. Anyways, we're sitting there in physics, and she's crying, so I asked the teacher if I could go help her get cleaned up, so she lets us go and I take her to the bathroom. She got all cleaned up, and then we almost kissed again, but then Izzy came in, and then we decided to ditch, so we went to the mall. Oh, yeah, we're coming with you on your date, by the way."

"Izzy told me about walking in on you two in the bathroom. The women's bathroom? Really, Ferb?" Phineas laughed and put his head in his hand.

"Oh, be quiet!"

"Wait you guys are coming with us tonight?" Phineas asked, looking a little upset.

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, I don't know. We don't usually get our own dates." he said, sighing. With their friend group, him and Isabella never got time alone, so he was looking forward to some alone time.

"Oh... we can always stay out of your way?" Ferb suggested.

"I guess that could work. Hey, the more the merrier I guess!" he agreed.

The boys got out their homework and started talking about new ideas for next summer. The boys always started their blueprint lists way before the summer so they had a stockpile if they ever needed an idea. It had never failed them before.

The hours passed like molasses, very unlike the fun summer days that they had experienced the last few years. The boys kept checking their watches for the time when they would have to get ready and pick up the girls.

Hours later, Ferb checked his watch to find out that the time was 6:30, about time for him to start getting himself ready for his date. He hopped out of bed.
