Chapter 23: Love blossoms
Peter's POV:
After planning for almost an entire week, the day has come. Me and Dei went to tell Claus and Margaret that we were gonna hang out as a group of friends and going to the movies. What they didn't know is that were leaving them together secretly. We watched from behind a tree while Claus sat in a bench waiting for us. I think he agreed just because Margaret was gonna be there. Margaret came after a few minutes. They both looked around and started talking. I saw Dei pull out her phone and started texting Margaret. She had to come up with the best excuse possible so that they both don't get suspicious.
"Hey there Margaret, me and Peter won't make it due to Andy making us babysit Aberl. Melody and Felix said they were gonna explore town. If Claus is there, tell him. We'll make it up to you. I promise bye <3"
After Dei sent it, we saw Margaret pick up her phone and then started talking with Claus. Wonder if they bought it?
Margaret's POV:
I looked at my phone and saw the text Dei sent me. I looked at Claus and explained it to him. "Are you sure?" I shrugged. "How about we both just hang out with each other? It's not a big deal..." I saw Claus look down but agreed. "How about we go to the movies? You always wanted to see a movie." I squeal a bit and grabbed Claus's hand. "Let's go!" I started running towards the town, looking for a movie theater. We found one and went in. I was gonna pay for the tickets until I realized I forgot my money. "Claus, I forgot to get my money. Maybe we could do something else-" I saw Claus hand the man some money and grab the tickets. "C'mon, let's watch the movie..." I hugged him and thanked him for his generosity. "You're the best Claus." Claus smiled a bit and rubbed the back of his head? "Anything for you..." We made our way to our seats and settled down and waited for the movie to start. We were watching the Beauty and the Beast (remastered). We were half way in the movie when I saw Claus getting flustered. I didn't know what was wrong but he started holding my hand. I didn't know what to expect from him but I stayed quiet. It felt nice for some reason. After the movie ended, me and Claus were still holding hands and decided to get some ice cream. We started walking around town, holding hands and eating ice cream until I saw some colorful lights. I pulled Claus to the source and saw a carnival. "No way. Let's go!" Claus looked a bit uncomfortable but went in with me. We looked around and saw some plushies that reminds me of my friends. "Claus, look at that plushie. That looks like Melody. There's Felix, Andy, Peter, and Dei." I liked every one of them. I saw Claus asking how to win all those plushies. "You just need to shoot the bottles down and win." I saw Claus grab one of the airsoft guns and started shooting every target down. That was impressive. Everyone around us looked shocked. Claus got the plushies I was talking about earlier and handed them to me. "Claus, you shouldn't have..." He smiled and nodded. "I thought you'd like to have them." I smiled and gave him a small peck in the check. He looks away blushing a bit and we went around enjoying the carnival. Me and Claus played a few more games and won some plushies. We thought about giving them to Aberl. After a while of walking around and having a blast, we decided to head home. We went to visit Andy's house and saw Dei, Peter, and Andy playing with little Aberl. They looked at us and smiled. "Are y'all holding hands?" We realized what he meant and let go, look away from each other flustered. Dei and Peter started singing about us being in love but I have to admit, maybe they're right. I looked at Claus scoffing at them and started doing one of his long lectures of them being childish. I just laughed and sat next to Andy. "Look at the plushies we got from the carnival, we thought about giving them to Aberl." Andy smiled and placed the plushies near Aberl. Aberl giggled and started playing with them. Peter and Dei were able to escape from Claus's lecture and play along with Aberl. "You think he'll be like you guys?" Andy look at me confused. I decided to clear it up to him. "I mean by if he ever develops you and Peter's powers. You know like Peter's tentacles and your assassin skills and other form." Andy looked down, a bit concerned. "I don't know Margaret but whatever happens, we'll help him control it." I nodded and we continued to watch Claus trying to teach Aberl to play with toys properly while Dei and Peter hold back their laughter. I looked at Claus and started asking myself...
"Do I love him?"
