"I'm as cool as a cucumber!"
Matthew stopped dead in his tracks. "What the maple." He exclaimed, not quite realizing he spoke out loud. The cute albino who just moments ago announced he was 'as cool as a cucumber', was now blushing and trying to find the words to explain his exclamation while simultaneously trying to process the fact that an extremely handsome blond heard it and responded with 'what the maple'. Did he really say 'maple'? Because that was just adorable.
As soon as Matthew realized what he said he began to blush as well, he was just about to run away when the scarlet-eyed beauty spoke. "Uhm.. Hallo? I am the awesome Gilbert Beilschmidt!" He had a very distinct German accent and Matthew found himself enjoying hearing Gilbert talk, even if he hadn't said a lot. Matthew couldn't help but smile at how Gilbert called himself 'awesome' even though Matthew had just heard him say 'I'm as cool as a cucumber' And in Matthews eyes that wasn't exactly the most 'awesome' thing to say. "Nice to meet you, I'm Matthew Williams. And did you really just say 'I'm as cool as a cucumber'?"
Gilbert could feel he was blushing again and decided that this cutie was worth his awesome time so he retorted with: "did you really just say 'what the maple'?"
"Eh?"
'Mein Gott can he be even more adorable?' Thought Gilbert. He decided to be brave and ask Matthew out. "Hey, you know what." He started. "You can have my awesome number and I'll take you on an awesome date!"
To say that Matthew was confused was an understatement. Can you really blame him though? It was six am, Matthew hadn't had his coffee yet and a German albino who he caught telling himself he was 'as cool as a cucumber' just asked him out on a date. Still, he had to admit the albino was kind of cute and he was definitely interesting... "Uh... Sure" Matthew answered. "Awesome! Uh I mean... Of course you said yes, I'm awesome!" Matthew laughed. They exchanged numbers before Matthew noticed he was going to miss his bus if he didn't hurry up. He hastily said goodbye before running away to catch his bus. All Gilbert could do was yell a 'bye' back and watch Matthew run away, wondering if he would be able to keep his beautiful violet eyes and that weird but interesting curl out off his mind and focus on his job interview. Just then realizing he was already ten minutes late.
A.n.
This is first fanfic and it's probably terrible... I wasn't planning on ever really writing any fanfics at all, but I read this prompt "Write a story incorporating the saying 'as cool as a cucumber'." And my first thought was that Gilbert would definitely say something like that. So I started writing and I think it turned out pretty ok. Please keep in mind that I am 14 years old and Dutch so my English probably isn't that great, and my writing skills aren't really the best either. Constructive criticism is welcome, please let me know what you think.
