Requested by @Spade_Karma, thanks for requesting! Hope you like it! Also, i forgot about the crush i used to have on him 😂😍

You were at the bowling alley. You hung around a lot there these days for want of something better to do. It wasn't the most productive of hobbies but it could be fun. You watched your ball roll down the lane and you cheered as it knocked down pins and scored you your average of four to five pins. As you were enjoying yourself on this evening, you didn't notice that someone was watching you. His gaze was fixed on you and you alone,  but you didn't seem to notice.

He decided to approach you, maybe give you a tip or two as he didn't want to be rude, but you weren't exactly at the top of your game here.

"Enjoying yourself?" A voice said and caught you completely off your guard. 

"Ah!" You cried in shock and you dropped it on the poor stranger's feet!

He gave a loud cry of pain and you panicked as you quickly picked the heavy ball up off of his poor crushed tootsies.

"I'm really really sorry" You frantically apologised in embarrassment.

"Eet ees fine" He said with a frown, toes still broken.

"What did you want?" You quickly changed subject as your face was burning from embarrassment.

"I was just going to ask if you were enjoying yourself there, Heaven knows I'm not now" Rolled the eyes of the unsuspecting victim of your little accident.

A guilty expression formed on your face as you thought of the way your butter fingers just mangled this man's toes, but you quickly composed yourself and politely answered his question. "Well yeah, i was, it's fun" You smiled pleasantly, praying he'd forget about your oafish incident.

"And you are most excellent at the game, but maybe a leetlle clumsy?" He said. He spoke with a European accent, French you thought.

 "I guess so" You chuckled nervously at the thought and also because you lowkey found him attractive.

 "Ah, then perhaps you may be een need of lessons?"

 You'd never actually thought of this before. You were content with the game, but imagined just how much cooler it would be if you could actually play. "Uh, maybe?"

" You sound unsure? But nevertheless, eef you do decide you need them, look no further" He smirked.

"You teach bowling? Darn, I didn't know that could even be taught!" You marvelled in amusement.

He smirked at this. "Well then I see you still have much to learn." He liked you. You seemed innocent naive even. You reminded him a certain woman he had known before who had broken his heart. Oh how sad it was for him that dear Margery was married! But his mind was faraway from that now.

"Well, alright" You shrugged as you paid the fee and watched the master show you the tricks of the trade.

"Observe" He said smoothly as he tossed the ball you handed him and completely destroyed all of the pins in sight. You watched in amazement as he effortlessly got a strike first time.

"Holy moly" You stated under your breathe.

He smirked and carried on. As your lesson went on, you found yourself crushing harder on him. You knew he was just a stranger, but when you bowled it was like you had his full undivided attention all of the time and you liked that. What you didn't realise was that he felt the same way about you, even if you did mangle his feet.

He was truly an expert at the game and you found yourself extremely impressed and you did learn a few things from him. 

The lesson came to an end and evening turned to night as you left the place. "Oh no" You panicked. "I missed the last bus" 

"Ees zat all? I shall take you home eef you have no other means of getting there" He offered kindly but had a sort of glint in his eye.

"Really? Oh thank you!" You smiled innocently as you got in. He was As good as his word and dropped you off to where you lived, but it seemed he didn't want you to get out just yet.

"Here we are" He said, stating the obvious

"You didn't have to drop me off" You smiled, though flattered by his deed.

"But I wanted to. (Y/n), do you know how beautiful you look in the moonlight?" He said charmingly though he prayed he wouldn't be met with the same answer he was given to by Marge.

"Oh, uh, thanks, you're not so bad yourself" You muttered , not believing th words coming out of your mouth as your cheeks burned in a blush.

He then went in for the kill. "(y/n), darling, I want to see you tomorrow. Not at Barney's Bowlarama. Away from the thunderous folly of clattering pins. Meet me tomorrow for brunch"

"Sure thing" You smiled.

He had no expectations after his past romantic experiences, but your answer left him dumbfounded. "What?"

" I said I'd love to" You laughed.

He was cheering on the inside but tried not to show it. "You'll love it. It's not quite breakfast, it's not quite lunch, but it comes with a slice of cantaloupe at the end. You don't get completely what you would at breakfast, but you get a good meal"

"Well, sounds delicious. I'll see you tomorrow" You said as you got out of the car, then proceeded to blow a kiss in his direction before you made your way into your home.

He stared at you in shock, shock that such a beautiful woman such as yourself wasn't already accounted for, but that didn't bother him as that meant at least you liked him. You liked him! He smiled to himself before he left for home, and contented and lovestruck man, even though you most likely broke his foot.
