She pulled the vial out of her pocket, "Now about this..."
Arthur spit out his drink, "Where'd you get that?!"
Y/N smirked, "Last night when I was bringing you home, it fell out of your pocket."
Arthur frowned and sighed, "I had totally forgotten about that. I made it in the Black Magic club. Now, may I have it back?" He reached for the vial.
Y/N held it out of Arthur's reach, "You can have it back when you tell me what it is."
Arthur ignored her and reached for it again. Y/N still kept it out of his reach. He jumped and hurled himself at her, but he couldn't reach. He eventually sighed and gave up.
"Fine. I'll tell you."
He told her about the Newspaper Club's interview and the things that Romania said. He told her about how he made the potion and the chant that he said. He went on about his plan to pour the potion into her drink when she wasn't looking.
"And you failed because you got drunk?"
Arthur blushed and nodded.
"Arthur." Y/N replied, "You didn't have to do witchcraft to get me to fall in love with you."
"I know. I'm an idiot." Arthur replied and kicked the ground under him staring down at it so that Y/N didn't see his face.
Y/N smiled, "You may be an idiot. But you're my idiot." She started laughing, "My sarcastic, tsundere, gentlemanly, blonde, idiot."
Arthur frowned.
"But I love you for that. And if you ever need to tell me something, please tell me. Don't go out of your way to do something stupid to try to get my attention."
"Okay..."Arthur kicked the ground again.
Y/N grabbed his chin and lifted it to her face.
"Listen. Don't be upset. If it makes you feel any better, I like you too."
"Really?" His eyes went from clouded with tears to a clearer, more passionate look.
Y/N nodded, "You're my best friend, and I can't live without you. Not Alfred, not Mattie, you."
"Thanks, Y/N." Arthur smiled, but took her hands off of his face, "But, that still doesn't forgive what I did to you."
He paused, expecting a response, which didn't come. He continued, "What do you say I take you somewhere? To make it up to you."
"Like a date?"
Arthur blushed, "I guess."
Y/N's concerned look brightened after those words, "I'd be delighted."

~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~

Y/N was getting ready. Arthur had said that he'd pick her up around six (or eighteen) o'clock. She'd put on her short F/C dress with 2F/C shoes that complimented her E/C eyes. She put on (makeup of choice) and put a small fake flower in her hair.
She walked up to her mirror, "What's cookin', good lookin'?" She laughed at herself.
She grabbed her things and headed for the door. Y/N checked her phone.
"5:37. I can probably get there."
Just as she said that England texted her.
'Hey, don't head out. I'm coming to pick you up.'
She giggled, he really was a gentleman. She put her stuff back down and sat down on her couch, watching some anime.
England arrived exactly at five forty and knocked on the door. Y/N paused and turned off the TV and headed for the door.
When she opened the door, she noticed that Arthur was dressed in a nice white button-down shirt which was tucked into his black dress pants. His hair was combed back with some loose hair down by his ears.
"Hey, Art."
"Hello, Y/N. I- um... you look nice."
Y/N laughed and looked at Arthur again, "You do too. I like your hair like that."
"Thanks. It's a bit of a mess, though."
"Not at all." Y/N replied, "Now, are we going to just stand here and compliment each other, or are we going to get going?"
Arthur laughed, "I'd rather stand here."
Y/N grabbed his arm and pulled him to the car, "Let's go, Art!"
"Alright." He muttered and playfully rolled his eyes.
He opened the car door for her as she got inside, "Thanks, Arthur."
He nodded and ran over to his side of the car, where he started it and drove off.

~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~

The restaurant was quite fancy. Arthur said that he had to make reservations that morning after she'd left his house. Just to get in.
Arthur walked up to the front counter and told the host that he had a reservation.
"Arthur Kirkland for two?"
He nodded.
"Right this way, sir."
The host sat them at their table and handed them some menus. It was covered in a maroon colored tablecloth and had all of the fancy silverware.
'Good thing my mother told me good manners. This place is so overwhelming.' Y/N thought.
"This is a really nice place, Arthur." She said.
He nodded, "A friend -well not really a friend- of mine runs this place. He works here as a waiter as well."
"Oh, that's nice." Y/N replied.
They sat in silence, reading the menus until the waiter came by.
"Oh, fancy meeting you here, Black Sheep." The waiter said to Arthur.
"Same to you, Frog," Arthur replied.
The waiter had a thick French accent and long golden hair. He pulled out a small pad of paper and a pen.
"Have you decided yet?" He asked.
Arthur nodded, "I guess I'll have the pot-au-feu. And just a water." He paused, "Y/N? What would you like?"
"Um. The garbure..."
"Would you like cheese on that?"
"Yes please." She replied, "And a water for me as well."
The waiter nodded, "Alright."
Arthur tapped the waiter on the shoulder, "And please don't poison my food this time. I got really sick the last time I was here."
That made Y/N feel a bit disconcerted.
"Not this time. You're on a date, no? I'll try to put some viagra or something in yours."
Arthur hit him with the menu, "There is nothing wrong with me! This is just a simple date! Screw off, you git!" He calmed down a bit, "Just put our orders in, okay?"
The waiter laughed and grabbed the menus, "I'll put them in."
"Correctly, you wanker!" Arthur replied as he strode off.
Arthur put his head on the table, "I knew we shouldn't have come here." He muttered.
Y/N put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry about it. If he does put something in the food, it won't be too bad. He said it himself."
Arthur picked his head up and smiled, "Thanks. That doesn't really change my opinion about him though."
"I know." Y/N giggled.

~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~

The dinner went over well. Arthur's food didn't have anything in it. In fact, a completely different waiter came to give them their food. Arthur was grateful.
Now, Arthur and Y/N were headed back home. Arthur was going to drop Y/N off at her house, then head home.
"Yours is the fourth one, right?" Arthur asked.
"Right." She replied, "You've been to my house before, you should know."
Arthur chuckled, "I know. You're just awfully quiet."
"Sorry." She said, "I guess I'm just nervous."
Arthur pulled into her driveway and stopped the car. He turned to her, "There's no need to be. We're best friends. You can tell me anything."
"Thanks, Art." She said, "After this,  I've really learned to like you more than I used to." She stopped, then realized what she said, "I mean! Not that I didn't like you before!"
"Thanks, N/N. I like you too." Arthur said, "Tonight was amazing. Thanks for coming with me."
Y/N smiled and lean towards Arthur, "I'd say we have to do this again." She pecked him on the cheek, "Thanks, Arthur. I'll see you Monday."
Arthur blushed and rubbed his neck, "Uh, right. Don't forget, we have math homework."
"Shit! Thanks, Art!" Y/N replied as she shut the door to the car.
Even though she knew that Arthur probably couldn't hear her, she yelled, "Thanks again, Art! Love ya'!"
She went back inside and watched through the window as Arthur left. Y/N put all of her stuff down and took the flower out of her hair and put in in a vase. Even though it was fake, it reminded her of tonight every time she walked past.
Y/N and Arthur soon became a couple and both loved each other dearly. In fact, after three years of being together, Arthur was thinking of proposing. After all, they were old enough.
