The rain heavily pelted the windows of the Mystery Room, the place was dark and a single light source lit up a fraction of the room including the case that Lucy and Al were working on. The light outlined Alfendi's face and he sat with a concentrated look on his face, slightly frowning but not in the least looking tired, he was probably used to the long nights. It was a hard case but by midnight they had solved it together.
Lucy had strong feelings about Alfendi, but what she didn't know is he felt the same way, if not more.
Lucy being the daring person decided that it was time to find out. She stood up and placed her hands on the casefiles that Alfendi was writing on and his pen fell to the floor in the process. As Alfendi was about to reach for the pen Lucy's hand reached out and lightly touched his face, her hand was warm and soft. Alfendi stopped reaching down and slowly rose back to his seat.
Staring at Lucy he noticed that she had a warm smile, her features were shown by the dim light that created a silhouette on the back wall. Alfendi slowly put his hands over hers and started tracing circles on the back of her hands. Staring into each other's eyes Alfendi began to smile lightly but it quickly changed into a frown as his hair turned into a dark crimson colour. "What are you trying to do?"
Lucy sat down and grinned, then her mouth straightened as she winked. "I haven't cut your tongue out yet so why aren't you talking."
"Oh Potty Prof, you know why" her voice was calm and smooth and she was speaking in a lower tone than normal. He slipped his hands out from under Lucy's soft grip and turned to sit in the lounge on the other side of the room.
He stared at her for a few minutes trying to figure out the reason for her strange behavior until Lucy finally broke the silence.
"Well I must be off now Prof. Big day t'morrow an it's been a long night"
A bewildered look came to his face as she turned and left. He went after her through the door and looked towards the exit, there was no one in sight, and he watched the darkness half expecting something to pull him into it.
"Wacha lookin' at Prof?" Lucy said loudly.
"Bah! Wha- oh my you scared me! I almost had a heart attack!"
Lucy was leaning against the wall but Alfendi couldn't see her in the dark.
"You didn't think I'd let you leave without me would you?" Said Potty Prof.
His eyes slowly adjusted to the light and he could see her smiling at him.
He tilted forward, making sure he wouldn't miss her this time and planted a kiss on her lips.
Using their tongue they wrestled with each other. Finally Lucy pulled away as Al kept trying to pull her back again. He gave up and held her hand gently, in the remaining light she could see Placid Prof's face flushed red while he was fumbling for the keys to the mystery room. He locked the door and gestures for Lucy to walk with him.
She was too tired to refuse and Alfendi walked her to her car.
"Oh drat, I forgot my keys, they're in t' room. I'll 'ave t' -" said Lucy,
"That's alright then, would you like me to go get them for you... or would you be alright to stay the night at mine?"
Lucy blatantly agrees to go with him and drifts off to sleep during the car ride to the apartment.
