Freed's POV
I waited outside Yuri's, clutching a single f/c rose nervously. Tapping my foot on the pavement impatiently, I looked at my watch.

She's 7.28361910 seconds late. What's taking her so long? Maybe she got sick? Maybe she got mugged? Maybe she-

"Freed! Sorry if I kept you waiting,"

I turned in relief, unconsciously adjusting my cravat. I looked at the girl before me and froze.

My mind back-flipped, front-flipped and stopped working altogether. I tried to form a sentence or a simple 'hello' but I had seemed to have completely forgotten every word in the English dictionary...

The more we stared at each other the more time seemed to slow down.

We stood there for what seemed like hours until y/n began to walk forward and I braced myself. She smiled and linked her arm around mine. I exhaled and smiled warmly at her.

"I take it you're ready to go in? You look stunning by the way," I said genuinely. Y/n blushed and tightened her grip on my arm, I handed her the rose and her eyes lit up as she studied it before placing it in her hair.

"Thanks, I really like the suit," she beamed. It was my turn to blush.

"Shall we?" I proposed, gesturing to the door. Y/n nodded and we walked inside.

The smell of food washed over me, I looked around familiarly at the bistro bar, everyone in formal attire, waiters working at an amazing pace, pouring drinks without spilling a single drop, clad in crisp white shirts, immaculate dark trousers for men and modest pencil skirts for women, along with a black matching short apron.

"Welcome to Yuri's, do you have a reservation?" a tall pale man with nicely styled black hair and ruby red eyes asked us. His smile was on the verge of mischievous, y/n was beyond shocked. She took a sharp breath in and the waiter did the same.

"Sebastian effing Michaelis?? I thought you were still working for Ciel?" she finally blurted out.

"I say, y/n? Is that you? My my, you certainly have changed. Last time I saw you, you were cursing frustratedly after the young lord had accidentally burned down your tree house where you lived," 'Sebastian' mused, he brought the last statement down to a hushed whisper. "Yes, I still work for the young lord, we were given a case to investigate involving one of the waiters of the restaurant, we believe someone in this room is associated with human trafficking,"

Y/n made an 'o' with her mouth in understanding and I nodded. I was still concerned about who she was associating herself with but she seemed fine.

"Ah freed! Great to see you again!" a man with black slicked back hair with a short stature, grey suit and a big smile came walking up to me.

"Oh hello Yuri, how are you?" I shook his hand warmly.

"I'm doing just fine, Viktor's pretty stressed though, took a tumble in his last practice. You seem fine though! Looks like you finally got a date," Yuri grinned, spotting y/n. I blushed and half smiled.

"I guess you could call it that," I turn, looking at y/n, who let out a small chuckle.

"May I take you to your table?" Sebastian proposed, y/n and I nodded and we followed him to a table by a huge window. He sat us down and we ordered our food.

"I'll have... F/r/f please," y/n smiled widely. Sebastian wrote it down and looked at me.

"I'll try the crab linguine with sun-blushed tomatoes, spinach and fresh Parmesan in a rich garlic and white wine sauce please," I asked, Sebastian bowed and walked off.

Your POV

As we ate I could feel a slightly uncomfortable aura forming. I stopped chewing and swallowed making eye contact with freed.

...

"On a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you like cheese?"

.

.

.

"What?"

I sighed looking down.

"Sorry, I'm not that good at starting conversations..." I mumbled. Freed wheezed with laughter, chuckling away and almost choking on his food. 

"How about we play a game where we each ask each other a question and we have to answer?" He suggested, I nodded and he started.

"Okay then... How did you meet Lisa?" that was an easy one.

"Oh! I found her egg after I lost Aquana," I replied, "So..." I began thinking on a question to ask.

"Why do you have long hair?"

Freed paused before answering, "why not?"

I smiled, "true, besides... I like you better with long hair,"

the talking continued for a while, long after we had both finished our meal. It was delicious! But the bill was...

questionable...

"2000 JEWEL? WHAT THE- WE ONLY HAD 2 DISHES OF FOOD!" I whisper-yelled as we were walking out. Freed just shrugged and chuckled. He suddenly took my wrist and turned around.

"follow me, i have something to show you,"

I felt butterflies in my stomach as I nodded. He ran and I followed his lead, entering the park and it then lead onto a forest. I was getting tired but I kept running. He finally stopped and I slowed down and looked at the view before me.

It was a crystal blue lake with fireflies calmly flying around the area. My eyes widened as I took in the surrounding beauty...

and that was just FREED.

I giggled and a firefly landed directly on his nose and started to twinkle. Freed looked down at his nose and raised an eyebrow. He shook his head gently and the firefly continued on its travels. I slipped off my shoes and walked barefoot across the grass, then setting one foot on the surface of the lake, then the other foot. I walked slowly across the lake in wonder, the fireflies surrounding me. I reached out and a few landed on my hand. I smiled at the small insect and looked back at Freed with a wide smile. Freed seemed to stop to look at me and kept looking at my eyes in amazement. I mentally shrugged it off but my body then moved on its own.

I slowly glided across the water surface towards Freed and I took his hands. Smiling, I slowly took him across the lake, remembering to "harden" the water so Freed could walk on it.

I was lost in his eyes as he leaned forward slowly. 

1 inch,

1 centimetre...

shoot, I forgot to keep hardening the water...

"OH GOD AHHHHH SORRYYYY!" I screamed before we plummeted in the freezing water.
