————————————————————————
"Hey (Y/n) let's go to the town fair!" Rubi exclaims excitedly while you were in the kitchen baking cookies. You couldn't help but try to keep yourself busy ever since you were at Clyde's house, which was literally yesterday. But it felt to you like it's been a week. You invited Rubi over to help keep your mind off the incidents. Mostly to forget the bad one.

"Haha what's brought this on? As long as I've known you, I've never heard you ever wanting to go to a small fair. You said and I quote "town fairs don't spread enough fun like the big ones do."  You laughed as you were rolling the dough into a ball and placing it onto the pan.

"Wellllllll I just think this year we should do something new, after all it's a Valentine's Day themed fair." She smirks while wiggling her eyebrows. You smile while scoffing at her intentions.

"Plussssss you could even go to get some more gift ideas for mr. OH SO HANDSOME!" Rubi flutters her eyelids while smiling at you as her wrists rested under her chin in mid air. You blush hard when you think about Clyde, nearly dropping the cookies before they entered the heated oven but you quickly caught yourself.

Phew thank goodness Clyde gave me the day off today. You thought as you sighed a little in relief as you set the pan down on the stove and fixed the cookies that fell out of place.

"But ever since yesterday night when I spent it at his home...I just don't think i'll know what to do around him. Everytime I think about seeing him now I just can't help but blush more a-and stutter, I haven't even went to see him a-and when I think about giving him his final set of letters..I just know he's gonna realize it's me WAY before Valentine's Day happens." You panicked a little as you turned to look at Rubi while you leaned down. Rubi comes up to you and hugs you once you stood back up after placing the cookies in the oven.

"Hey hey calm down buddy, I'm sure you'll be able to properly tell him you're head over heels in love with him when Valentines Day happens." Rubi said in a comforting tone as she pat your head and rubbed your back. It calmed you down a little as you hugged her back taking in the comfort of your best friend.

"Thanks..what would I ever do if you weren't here Rubi." Rubi then smirks and you look back at her with an eyebrow raised.

"If I wasn't here you wouldn't be going to the Valentine's Day themed town fair! Now get dressed and once these cookies are done we are GOING!" You groan in a playful way but with a smile on your face as Rubi pushed you towards your bedroom to find something nice to wear.

——-a couple hours after baking cookies with Rubi, you both arrive at the fair, (Rubi wearing a black blouse with black pants and matching boots while you're wearing a (favorite colored and style) shirt and dark blue jeans that hug your legs really well and boots as well.) you're both walking around the arcade area——

"Oooh Rubi, Rubi look at that cute stuffed thingy up there! You wanna win that one??" You screeched in excitement as Rubi looked in confusion at the plush toy you were excitedly pointing to.

"You really want that (whatever 2 kinds of animals you want it to be mixed with) thing?" She asks in shock as it wasn't a very cute toy. You nodded and jumped up and down, it was a bean bag tossing game and you gave the man a couple of dollars for the two of you.

"Yes!!!! I want that thingy so badly!" You giggled as the man left to grab the bean bags. Rubi chuckled and at the corner of her eye she noticed Clyde walking around with his family. He looked a bit awkward about it and Clyde briefly looked at Rubi and she waved him over without you noticing. Rubi could see Jimmy pat Clyde on the back and nod him off. Clyde walking towards you quietly as Rubi couldn't help but smirk as he walked closer to you. She made a 'Shhh' hand gesture as you didn't realize he was there.

"Alright fine we can win you that thing...now go stand here and toss the bean bags first and I'll come after you." Rubi looks at Clyde and points to you, letting him know she wanted him to play instead. His face turned pink for a moment but then he looks in your direction as you were about to toss the bean bags.

You went first and missed at the first try of tossing the bean bag. And then you tossed another, missing again. Biting your lip you were about to toss the other one and then you felt a rather large warm hand wrap around your own. You didn't turn your head but you saw at the corner of your eye the familiar shoulder length hair and small chin beard as it was close to your face. Your heart was pounding instantly as you froze when you felt his body heat right behind you.

"Here, ya gotta toss it like this and loosen ya wrist when ya throw it. It should help a bit." He said in a low voice, it sent shivers up your spine as he didn't realize he was closer to you than he thought. You turned your head to look at him and he looked back at you as well. His hand still holding yours and his face was a mere few centimeters from your own.

Rubi was trying so hard covering her mouth as she wanted so badly to turn into the crab from the little mermaid and scream "Kiss d girl!!" But nonetheless she remained quiet but waited to see what would happen next.

You didn't even notice you were both staring at one another for a long time as the man was looking and waiting for you to continue throwing the bean bags.

"Miss are you still playing?" He asked shyly as he seemed a bit awkward with what's going on. Clyde hesitantly pulled away and slowly moved back. His hand still on yours.

"Um..." You shyly said as you pointed with your head his hand on yours. Clyde awkwardly let go and chuckled nervously, you chuckled back. Rubi was mentally screaming how she wished you could see he really liked you as well.

"Sorry." He chuckled and you shook your head. "It's alright.." You blushed and went to play the game. Ob your last throw, it went through the highest score hole and you had won the toy you wanted.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!" You squealed with excitement as the man gave you the plus toy. It was a medium sized plush but you didn't mind.

Now it was Clyde's turn as Rubi pushed him gently to go and win something as well. He looked up at the different Valentine's Day themed toys and saw one he wanted to win. He tosses the bean bags, hardly missing and won the toy he wanted. It was small and not really his thing but now he was going to hide it inside his pocket, hold onto it and wait.

You didn't see what it was he had won. But Rubi did and she was smiling as he put it in his pocket.

"So Clyde what brings you here?" Rubi asks. You were tightly hugging the plush toy as Clyde began chatting with Rubi.

"I came with my family, they wanted to go ride some rides and walk around. They know I don't usually go here but..well here I am." He scratched his head awkwardly. The gesture made you blush at how adorable he was looking right now.

"Well there's this dance floor I've heard about that's near us, you wanna join me and her?" Rubi asks pointing to you. She didn't say your name incase she let the real one spill.

"Oh no no it's alright I don't wanna be bothering ya." He started and you cut him off. "You're not bothering us..I I mean um..I-I'd be happy if you wanted to hang with us for a bit." You smiled. He smiled back and nodded. The three of you began walking around the fair. It was a fun experience, smelling the food, trying some out, you and Rubi screamed for a bit as you saw a live crocodile/alligator that was swimming in a large glass box. Seeing you both scream had Clyde letting out a laugh and it melted you like butter after you were done screaming.

Finally you were at the dance floor area, there was dim lights surrounding the people dancing and a band up on stage. Country music playing for the most part, there were some other genres of music as well. Rubi then wanted you both to have some alone time so she had an idea.

"Hey um...I see this amazing caramel apple stand nearby and I'm gonna go grab us some." You didn't realize what she was doing as you replied, "Want us to come with you to carry it?"

Rubi shook her head quickly.

"Nope nope nope! I can get them just go on and have fun I won't be gone too long. Oh and gimme your plush thing." Rubi said as she extended her hand for you to hand her the toy.

"You won't be able to carry the apples with one hand you goofball." You said not understanding what Rubi was trying to do. She groaned.

"It's fine girl just go have fun now gimme!" She said, you chuckled awkwardly and handed her the toy and Rubi walked away rather quickly. Leaving you and Clyde on the dance floor.

"So.." You both said at the same time, It made you both chuckle. "You first." You said. He extended his right hand out.

"Would ya..like to dance?" He asked. The music was loud but somehow you were still able to clearly hear his question as if nothing was actually playing.

"Before I answer that I must warn you that I am a horrible dancer and I tend to fall a lot." As soon as you said that, you could've sworn you saw a small smirk as Clyde replied, "That's alright, if ya fall I'll just hold on tighter and not let go." Your eyes widened for a moment but as soon as he said that his smirk faded as if you just imagined it.

You chuckled and then smiled and took his hand. "Then yes. Yes I would." He smiled and as you put your hand in his and the other hand was on his shoulder loosely, his right hand was holding yours and his prosthetic was around your waist. The two of you began slowly swaying with your head almost into his chest as the band started playing some slow music.

The dancing with Clyde was something better than you've ever dreamed or imagined. You tried your hardest to remember every touch, smell, anything you could so that when you went to sleep tonight you'd never forget it. Clyde however couldn't help but wish he could hold you closer but he held back. You pulled away to smile at him and he smiled back, both of you shyly looking away quickly.

"Hey (fake name)..did you scratch your cheek?" He asked as he looked back at you. You think about it for a moment and remember you must've scratched a little too hard earlier when your cheek was itchy.

"Yeah must've been when I was getting an itch there." You chuckled, it was a little deep since Clyde could see faint marks on one area.

"Does it hurt?" He asked sincerely, it reminded you of when he spoke like that when you hurt your hand before. You shrugged.

"Not too much. Why?" You smiled as you swayed together. He looks at your cheek once more and swallows nervously.

"I think I know a way to make it feel better." You looked at him a little confused as he pulled you closer into his chest, he then leaned in and kissed your cheek. Staying there for a moment and then slowly pulled away. His mustache tickled your cheek but you couldn't move. You looked back at Clyde dumbfounded but your heart was racing and you couldn't help but give away a smile. Your hand over your cheek as you felt your cheeks warm up once more.

"Does it feel better?" He asked with a smile, his ears were pink but due to his long hair you couldn't tell he was blushing too.

Your mouth dropped open as you looked at him. "Uh...y-yes..it actually feel ten times better now. Thank you." You smiled and looked down. Continuing the slow dancing, you felt Clyde pull you closer slowly putting your hand onto his chest but under his own. The prosthetic hand still around your waist but you were firmly pressed against his chest now as you danced.

"This okay?" He asked in your ear, it sent chills up your spine as he spoke. You couldn't speak so you nodded. He smiled and you continued your slow dancing. Rubi was back and stayed on the side as she watched from afar nearly melting as she saw you both smiling from afar.

After you were done slow dancing, you both pulled away and went to find Rubi. Easily spotting her you both went back to her and Rubi quickly tells you she's gotta head on to your place for the night cause she was really sleepy. Rubi really wanted to stay at your place to see what will happen between you two next.

"Are you sure you wanna go back now? You didn't get to look at everything?" You asked and Rubi fakes a yawn.

"Yeah it's alright. If you wanna stay longer I can take your car and head on. Maybe your boss can take you back." She tries not to smirk as you looked at one another.

"That's alright. I can take her." He quickly says without you trying to say no. "Unless you really don't..want to." He adds on.

"I want to! I mean um...sure. That's kind of you to do, thank you." You blushed but looked away so Clyde wouldn't see, Rubi saw it of course.

Rubi bids you both goodbye while taking your plush with her. You both were left wondering what to do now.

"Hey..would you like to...use that photo booth over there?" He asks as he points to the photo booth they had nearby.

"I'd love to." You smiled as you both quickly walked to the photo booth. Clyde was a bit tall so it was hard for him to slide inside but you made it work.

You were pressed into the photo booth wall with your crush/ boss sitting right up on you. Your heart couldn't take so much hard pounding.

You both chose on the Valentines day themed outline for the photos and got silly with taking pictures. There were about five photos to do in all. Once the photos were done you both cautiously got out of the booth and waited for the photos to come out the slot. As soon as the two sets came out you looked at the photos and saw what each one was. The first two were silly photos, on the third one it was when Clyde began to pull you closer with his right hand. You looked up and him not sure if the picture was taken anymore as he looked at you.

Oh gosh we look like we're having a stare down in the third one. You giggled at the thought.

On the fourth photo it was when you both were smiling at the camera awkwardly, you then looked down and saw the last one. It was when you guys began laughing at yourselves for making that awkward smile in the four photo.

On the fifth photo you saw that it was you smiling and laughing at the camera but Clyde was smiling and looking only at you.

Not long after the photo booth incident, you gave Clyde his half and then you both decided to head on home since it was super late and almost everyone was going home. Clyde's family was already gone by then. You were taken home by Clyde and you couldn't help but blush at the thought of him being as kind as he was when you first met him that night at the bar not that long ago. The car suddenly turns off and it slightly jolts you out of your thoughts, Clyde then comes out and opens your door for you.

Good grief hes shooting me right in the heart again...You thought to yourself as you couldn't stop yourself from smiling wide at the gesture. Finally you hopped out of the car but got your foot caught on the end of the door, causing you to trip into Clyde's chest. He then wraps his arm around you making sure you got to the ground safely.

"You alright there?" He chuckles. His arm didn't let go of you though. Your heart raced rapidly as your mouth was in a small O shape.

"Y-yeah I am..um thanks C-cly- I I mean sir for catching me." You chuckle nervously, you had called him sir again out of habit but couldn't seem to say his name properly right now.

"Well I'm..I'm gonna walk you to your door if that'd be alright?" He slowly lets go of you, you missed his hug already but kept your want for it again hidden inside.

"That's fine with me." You smiled again and you both stared at the floor shyly as you walked towards your front door. Before you went to grab your key to unlock your door, Clyde clears his throat.

"(Fake name) can I ask ya something?" He says softly. You look at him trying to hide your face as it remained flushing red under the light above your door.

"Yes?"

"I...is it alright if I could..bother you for a sample of those cookies you mentioned before?" He looks at you and then looks down, making you blush again.

He's so cute it's killing me inside! You thought with a chuckle.

"Sure, there's still some left over from when Rubi tried it. I just hope she didn't come back just to finish the job." You both laughed as you unlocked your door and went inside. Clyde was nice enough by locking your door for you and began to follow you to your kitchen.

"Oh good she saved us just a few pieces, I knew she only loved me for my cookies." You laughed quietly as you unwrapped the plate of cookies and showed Clyde there was about four or five cookies left. You took one and swallowed it hole, Clyde hadn't grabbed one yet and you wondered why.

"Didn't you wanna try some?" You asked as you showed Clyde the plate. "I'm just waiting for the right moment to try it. I'm a bit odd that way." He chuckled, he wasn't sure whats going on with himself today.

You let your guard down and shrugged it off. Clyde couldn't seem to hold back a bit today when he was near you.

You then took a hold of another cookie, taking the time holding it gently between your teeth to savor it. You were about to take a bite when suddenly Clyde came closer and took a bite off the end of yours. Your heart stopped at how close he was, it reminded you of what had happened at the fair.

But he quickly pulls away and eats the small piece of your cookie. Your mouth nearly dropped to the floor as you watched his face, he didn't make a cocky smirk nor did he give you a seducing look.

He smiled at you, almost like a cheeky smile a kid gives you when they've been caught being bad.

It made your heart stop and yet race all at once, it was a jumble of emotions at the gesture he had done. He was stealing your heart easily and you were ever more scared of what'll happen on Valentine's Day when you finally confess.

He needs to stop being so flipping cute!! Wait..Does this mean he likes me?

Or does this mean he might be just teasing me like a friend does?

Your thoughts were jolted away again as Clyde chuckles at your face. He waved his right hand in front of your face.

"(Fake name)? Are ya alright? I said the cookie is pretty good." He smiles sincerely.

"I..uh...what was that?" You asked still frozen. His smile fades as he knows what you were asking about.

"Well I...I um..I don't know why I did that I-I'm sorry." He stutters a little as his cheeks were a little red. His smile faded into a bit of worry as he hoped he didn't upset you or something.

"N-no no it's okay I just....it was adorable." You admitted without thinking, you found that to be quite hot though. Clyde stares at you surprised and then an eyebrow raised in confusion.

"You're the one who was.....adorable." He quietly mumbles but you didn't hear it.

He then quickly grabs a cookie and eats it, he chews it for a while and recognizes it as something he's had before. But he couldn't tell from where.

"Well I I um...do you like it?" You ask shyly. He nods. "It tastes familiar somehow...are ya sure we haven't met before?" He asked. You panicked a little.

"I I um..I'm not sure if we have or not. If we had met I would've never forgotten you." You chuckled awkwardly. It made Clyde even more curious.

Then again I HADN'T forgotten him not after we met... You thought to yourself.

There was awkward silence as you stood in the kitchen enjoying the last of your cookies. Clyde then gets up and before he heads for the door he surprises you as I gently leaned down to hug you. You were at a loss for words.

"What's that for if you don't mind me asking sir?" You asked shyly. Clyde held on tighter not not too tight.

He didn't want to admit that it was because he WANTED to hold you. So he cleared his throat and slowly let go.

"Just felt like this would better express how much I enjoyed tonight. Will I be seein ya tomorrow or do ya need more time off?" He asks.

"I think I'll be alright to come back to work, I'm not gonna let that jerk ruin my way to make some money and see you!" You admitted without realizing. He raised his eyebrow at you curiously. You stuttered. "I I I mean uh n-not in that way but you know because..because we chat and I consider you to be awfully sweet and and I I'll shut up now." You quietly said while looking away scratching your head nervously.

"I'm happy you're coming back to work too hehe. If you really don't want to though you tell me. I won't mind if you took another day or so off." He said. You smiled and shook your head.

"No I'm alright, thank you though. I appreciate all you're doing for me sir...you have no idea." You giggled. Clyde then nods and as you walked him to your door, both of you bid one another good night. You then ran to your room to go to bed and talk to Rubi, who was now asleep, in the morning.

Clyde then entered his car and as he drove to work to make sure it was closed up for the night. He noticed something even after earl and everyone had left.

He didn't receive a letter tonight..and now he was even more curious about who it is.

And he thinks he knows who..
