Hey! I decided to fix this story up a bit, though not by much since it's still pretty bad. I don't really have much else to say, so I hope you like the fixed version!

~START~

Emil and Marta were headed to Palmacosta. They had been traveling around after the events at the Ginnungagap and Palmacosta was where they were headed first.

"I can't wait to get to Palmacosta!" Marta said as she looked over at emil.

"Yeah, What should we do when we get there?" Emil asked as he looked around.

"I say we go to the harbor!" Marta said as she did a little twirl.

"Why the harbor?" Emil asked as he stopped walking.

Marta looked back at him before replying, "Because it brings back memories" Marta then continued walking not checking to see if Emil was following or not.

~Later, at Palmacosta~

Emil and Marta had arrived in Palmacosta right before it got dark so they decided to look for a place to stay.

"Hey, Marta?" Emil asked as they walked into their room at the inn.

"Yes?" Marta asked as she looked back at her companion.

"What do you think everyone's doing right about now?" Emil asked as Marta tilted her head.

Emil really only wanted to know what Ratatosk was doing right now because even though he wouldn't admit it, he did have a small crush on him.

"I don't know, why?" Marta said with a frown.

"Well then what do you think Ratatosk is doing right now?" Emil asked as he turned away from Marta to hide his blush.

"Emil..." Marta whispered before adding, "Do you... Like lord Ratatosk?"

"Wh-What? N-No that's not it at all!" Emil exclaimed as he waved his hands in front of him.

"You do! You do!" Marta chanted while pointing at him.

"L-Let's just drop the subject and go to sleep okay? Good night!" Emil said as he jumped onto the bed Marta wasn't on and threw the covers over himself.

"Hehe~ Emil... You're so cute!" Marta said before lying down on her bed and closing her eyes.

"Just wait a bit longer, okay?"

~The next morning~

"Come on Emil!" Marta said as she pulled the boy in question towards the harbor.

"S-Slow down Marta!" Emil exclaimed as he was dragged along by the hyperactive girl.

"We can't be late!" Marta said more to herself then to Emil

"Huh? Are we meeting someone?" Emil asked, confused.

"You could say that" Marta replied as they reached the harbor.

"So who are we-" Emil was cut off by another voice.

"Took you long enough"

Emil froze, he knew that voice well. He turned slightly to see Ratatosk, who looked just like him only with ominous red eyes.

"Oh Ratatosk! Nice of you to join us" Marta said happily.

"More like you forced me to join you" Ratatosk mumbled.

"... Anyway! Emil aren't you going to say anything?" Marta asked as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.

"Oh! Um..." Emil didn't know what to say, he had never been in a situation like this before.

"Oh for the love of-! Just kiss already!" Marta yelled drawing a bit of attention from the clueless bystanders.

"Wh-What?!" Emil stuttered as Ratatosk just blinked.

"It's so painfully obvious you two like each other! Now kiss damn it!" Marta yelled as she pointed at them.

Emil was going to reply but before he could Ratatosk had grabbed him and closed the distance between them while Marta started jumped up and down, squealing.

They broke apart, both blushing and backed away from each other. Well, at least Emil did.

"So... Does this mean were dating?" Ratatosk asked while he looked at Emil.

"I g- guess, if you want to that is..." Emil replied while looking at the ground, still blushing.

"Good" Ratatosk replied as he kissed Emil's forehead.

Marta eventually passed out from all her squealing and the two boys had to drag her back to the inn.

~END~
