**I always thought that Rufioh would totally be a flustered sweetheart. I mean, look at Rufioh; He'd be a great cuddler. Did I just write that? Holy fuck, I am too into these characters and this fandom ;u;**

Y/n smiled at Rufioh as they got paired up for the annual science project. The rustblood was blushing a deep brown, his face a flustered mess. "So, you ready to get everything set up?" The young girl asked. She had out her notebook, little doodles next to her words. "O-oh, yeah. Sure." He attempts to smile and rubs the back of his neck.

Could this be love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
You're photogenically dressed, the conversation begins.
Oh God, now what did I say?
Let me start over again.

"So, you l1ke science?" Rufioh's voice cracked in the middle of the question. His face was one of mortification as Y/n chuckled. "I find it interesting, but sometimes I just want to end it all." The boy nodded his head and the conversation went flat. 

The bell rings and Rufioh stares at his hand in awe and nervousness. Y/n had scrawled her phone number on it to contact about the project. In his head he squealed while on the outside he rushed to his home. "Slow your roll, racer!" The Summoner said to his eldest. Rufioh smiled at him goofily before getting to his room. He threw himself on the bed and looked at his hand for hours. 

Turn the lights off, I'm in love...
Wouldn't you like to, wouldn't you like to kiss her?
Wouldn't you like to, wouldn't you like to dance with her?
Darkened nights and violent things, vaudevillian girls and violin strings
All of these are the prettiest things when I'm 
In
Love.

Rufioh holds his poster and shifts from one foot to the other nervously. "Heyyo, Rufioh!" Y/n snorted at her play-on-words. "You ready?" Rufioh gulped and shook his head. "Neither am I. Let's do this!" Y/n hypes them up and tugs Rufioh by his hand. He blushes at the contact and follows the girl up to the front of the classroom. "Our project is on Cellular Respiration" Y/n smiles at everyone and holds one end of the poster. Rufioh was at he other end. He looks over and she nods her head encouragingly. Rufioh gulps once before saying his part.

"The act of Cellular Respiration is made of three parts; The glycolysis, the..." And they continued with their project, Rufioh gaining more confidence and Y/n smiling at him the entire time.

Turn the lights off, I'm in love with you..
Wouldn't you like to, wouldn't you like to kiss her?
Wouldn't you like to, wouldn't you like to dance with her?
Dark, Dark nights and violent things, vaudevillian girls and violin strings
All of these are the prettiest things when I'm
In 
Love.

"Great Job Ruf!" Y/n high-fived him lightly. "Same, same to you, Y/n." Rufioh was no longer blushing from contact, but he was still flushed for the girl.
"Hey, I was wondering if you'd like to go to the movies sometime?" Y/n was biting the inside of her cheek and her face turned a pinkish color. Rufioh was taken aback about how adorable she looked. He'd never seen her blush in a situation like this.

"That is, only if you'd like to!" She said hastily. "It's fine if you don't-" 

"1'd love to." She looked at Rufioh with a shocked and disbelieving face. 

"Really?"

"Yes, 1-1've wanted to do the same for a wh1le." He smiled sheepishly and she smiled like the happiest girl in the world. 

"great! I'll see at six tonight maybe?"

"1t's a date!"

Y/n hugs Rufioh before skipping off with a bright red face. Rufioh's eyes went wide and a goofy smile graced his face. 

Once he saw the girl walk away form him, he threw his hands in the air.

"YES!" 

Everyone in the hallways looked at him weirdly, but he didn't care;

He was in love.
