A Little Drop of Romance

Chapter 1: The Beginning, Part 1 Taking A Break (GrM x SD)

It was a very slow day for the Elgang. They didn't have anything to do since saving all of Lanox and the team was starting to readjust to a normal life. Well half normal, since nothing regular can ever happen to them. While most of the team were sitting in the living room of their large house (they got it as a gift for all their deed), Ara was inside her own room on the top floor, resting on her bed while staring at the ceiling. She kept sighing deeply and occasionally glance at the right wall of her room. There was nothing special there but rather what's on the other side of it. That was Elesis' place.

"She's overworking herself… again…" she spoke to herself silently. It was like this all the time. Elesis would keep working on some papers, official red knights business as she says, and just forget that the world existed. "I bet she forgot lunch again… just what powers that girl anyway? One of Add's dynamos shocking him? Or did Eve actually give her a battery? Maybe she entered a contract with Lu…" Ara then slapped herself lightly to get rid of such nonsense.

She sighed again and kept thinking "I don't know what to do… how can I show her my true feelings?"

For a long time, Ara had loved Elesis way more than she would ever admit. She has no idea when these feelings first appeared but they have been with her for quite some time, even when she was only a Little Xia. It also seemed that Elesis showed interest in Ara, since whenever she was in danger the Red Knight would appear from seemingly nowhere and protect her friend. Other times she came to spend her free time with the spear wielder. Even with this knowledge, neither had made a move on the other yet. Ara was too shy and scared to come out in the open about her feelings. She tried many times before but always failed (many times miserably) to start something more serious with the knight she loved so much. Now, she can only show her support through trivial tasks. She thought that this is the most she can get… least for a while.

Ara sat up straight and looked at her clock. "Well, time to get Elesis her lunch."

For the past few months, she decided to care for the Red Knight's well-being. This mostly meant that Ara would bring her food and something to drink. She hurried down to the kitchen and started making something to eat for her crush.

"You're gonna go bother Elesis again?" Add asked from the living room, not tearing his eyes away from the movie he was watching with some of the others.

"Naturally. She needs her nutrition."

Eve looked into the kitchen while speaking to her. "You do not give her the proper nutrition all the time."

"You take that back!" Ara lashed out at Eve, but in doing so she slammed the box of orange juice on the table and making almost all of it spill. "Aw not now!" She quickly went to get some towels and cleaned it up.

Ciel decided to speak his thoughts on the matter. "Eve is right, you gave her a bag of crisps yesterday."

"We ran out of food she likes!"

"You also gave her a single piece of raw potato." Eve stated.

"I thought I cooked that before!"

"Let's not forget the bag of candy you gave once for a day." Aisha said while watching the movie.

"She needed her sugar to concentrate!"

Lu was smirking a little, knowing why the maiden was trying so hard to take care of the knight. "Well, I'm sure you wanted a little different type of sugar to give her."

Ara blushed hard at that, knowing very well what the demon queen meant. "I gotta go take this to her!" She put the sandwich she made and the glass of water on a tray and went back upstairs really fast. Lu just giggled a little then turned back to watch the movie with the others.

Elesis was sitting at her desk and was deep in thought with her work. She sighed and stretched in her chair then leaned back while looking at the ceiling. "Something's missing…" At that moment she heard a knock on the door. She simply said "Enter."

Ara walked in and saw her love interest staring at the ceiling. "Hi Elesis! Those papers are a drag, right?" She simply nodded. Ara then went next to her and put the tray down on her work table, careful not to mess up the papers. "Well, enjoy!" She turned to leave but Elesis grabbed her hand quickly. Ara turned back to face her and asked "Something wrong?"

"Actually yeah…" Elesis started as she stood up and was looking at Ara closely. "I'm bored of all this work. It's like I'm a machine, no matter where I am. I can't even remember when the last time we talked casually was."

Ara beamed a bright smile and replied "It was about 2 months ago. You wanted me to stay here and keep you company. It was something about watching the papers for too long and you wanted to see a person instead."

The Red Knight was surprised that her friend remembered that so well. "Wow, you're good. Say… how about we spend the afternoon together?" Elesis smiled happily at Ara. Right now, she just tried to process what her crush said.

Inside Ara's mind, there could be fireworks. "YES! This is my lucky day! I'm gonna tell her my true feelings and date her! YAAAAAAAY!"

"Ara? Hello? Earth to Ara, you there?" Elesis was waving her right hand in front of the maiden when she was snapped back into reality.

"Oh, right. I'd be happy to spend the day with you." She smiled sweetly.

"Perfect! Then let's go on a walk right now!" Elesis was about leave her room when Ara spoke up.

"Your lunch." she said while pointing at the food she brought for her loved one. Elesis sweatdropped, picked up the food and started leaving the room with Ara close behind. During this whole time, she couldn't stop smiling. "I can't wait to be alone with you, my dear red knight~" Ara thought to herself as she kept following Elesis.

They almost stepped out of their home when Eslword spoke up from the couch. "Where are you two going?"

"Just to hang out. I need a break after all." Elesis replied as she practically dragged Ara outside.

"See you guys!" she waved as the red knight lead her.

Elsword just sat there not understanding anything. "Did I miss something?"

"Yeah, puberty." Aisha said to him which then escalated to a heated argument between the two. Everyone else just shook their heads while rolling their eyes.

"You wanna bet the 2 girls will be together before the kids here?" Add said to Ciel who paid no attention to him.

"I'm not blind or dumb. Ara and Elesis will be back as a couple most likely." the butler said while not taking his eyes off from the TV.

"Alright, then if they don't come back as an item, you'll clean every inch of my room and everything in it for 6 months."

"Fine, but if I win, you'll be Lu's personal chef for 6 months." Ciel said while extending his hand to Add in order to shake it and seal the deal.

Add grabbed his hand and shook it "You're on!"

Meanwhile…

"And this is the best spot to see the Sunrise and the Sunset." Rena was explaining to her new friend, Rose. The elf decided to show the gunslinger the best places in the village they were in. It wasn't hard for her since Rena's home forest was not far, so she was familiar with the layout. "Any questions?"

"Just one. Can we rest please? I'm beat… we've been sightseeing for hours now." Rose said as she started panting a little.

Rena just giggled at her friend and said "Okay, I don't mind." After she said that Rose fell back on the grass on the small hill they were on. The archer kept giggling and took a seat next to her new friend. "To be honest, I was getting pretty tired too."

"Could have fooled me."

"Well, I tried keeping up a tough girl image."

Rose sat up straight and looked a little confused at her. "What for? I saw you fight and you were awesome. Graceful and powerful, not to mention resourceful with all the different types of arrows you use."

Rena blushed a little while turning away from her. "Awww… you're just saying that… but thanks…"

"That's cute." a voice said. Rena and Rose turned to see Ara and Elesis walking towards them. The elf noticed that they were holding hands and thought "So one of them is finally gonna make a move. Hm, I should leave then but they'll so owe me for this. I was just starting to have a really great time with Rose…"

Rena got up and pulled Rose with her. The tired girl was surprised and asked "Hey, what are you doing, Rena?"

"I think we should head back home and properly rest. Maybe we should take a bath too. You 2 have fun!" she said as she started dragging Rose away with a blush on her face. Apparently, Rena wasn't clear whether they would be taking that bath together or not.

"What's with them?" Elesis asked confused which made Ara giggle a little.

"They like each other." she explained. The swordswoman was surprised to hear this but she did admit that it was very much possible.

"Well, they should get together soon. It's kinda obvious they feel something for each other."

"Are you kidding me?! She can notice others' love affairs but not when I'm trying so hard to get her?! WHAT GIVES?!" Ara screamed inside her head as she couldn't believe her crush could be so dense.

"You haven't been straight forward with her." Ara's fox spirit spoke.

"Yeah, yeah… I know. I'll change that now and be with her forever!" she exclaimed in her mind which made Eun chuckle a little.

"Go get her then." was the last response as Ara looked at Elesis who was watching the Sun go down.

"It's very pretty." the knight said while still looking at the view.

"She sure is…" Ara spoke as she was staring at Elesis in awe.

"She?" Elesis asked confused as she turned to face Ara. Realizing what she just said, she started to panic and waved her hands in front of her like crazy.

"Uh, um, uh! I mean that… most people view the sunset as a girl! And-" she was cut off as Elesis held her hands in her own, making Ara blush very hard.

"Hey…" Elesis started as she kept looking into the maiden's eyes. "… there is another reason why I wanted you to come with me here…"

"R-r-really? What is that?" Ara raised an eyebrow at her curiosly.

Elesis took a deep breath and only said "This…" She leaned into Ara and gave her a small kiss. The receiver couldn't believe what was happening and was completely frozen from the sudden action. Elesis pulled back shortly and explained "…I always liked you. More than a friend… I'm not sure how you think about this bu-"

Ara threw her arms around Elesis and gave her a much deeper kiss. She returned it and wrapped her arms around her as well. After about a minute they pulled away as Ara said with a smile on her face "You have no idea how long I was waiting for that."

"Really? You like me too?" Elesis asked in complete surprise.

Ara rolled her eyes and replied "Geez, you're even more hard headed than I thought. Of course I like you, I always have. I tried so hard for you to see."

"Oh… sorry…" Elesis hung her head low but Ara made her look her in the eyes.

"It's okay. I wanted to tell you too… I'm actually glad you did it, I would have screwed up again, hehehe." she giggled a bit and it didn't take long for Elesis to join her.

As the knight wiped away a tear from laughing she said "Then let's do this the right way." Elesis held Ara's hands in her own as she asked while smiling "Ara, will you be my girlfriend?"

Ara started crying a little, overjoyed by what's happening to her now. She closed her eyes and said "Yes, but only if you'll be mine."

Elesis hugged her tight as she answered her. "I'm honored… my little fox."

Ara laughed a little and said "My dear knight."

As the Sun vanished over the horizon the girls started walking back to their home, holding each other's hands all the way.

Back at the house, a few minutes later

"I'm not buying it." Add stated with his arms crossed. Rena and Rose arrived about an hour ago and since then they were unable to convince him that he lost the bet with Ciel.

In the meantime, the butler just kept smirking. He said "Well, time for you to make some dinner, Add."

"I haven't lost yet!" he shouted as a vein appeared on his forehead.

Just then Ara and Elesis walked through the door, still holding hands. "What's all this noise?" Elesis asked as she looked around. Rena caught the sight of her 2 friends holding hands and decided to ask the obvious question.

"So, what's with you 2?" although she already knew the answer.

Ara beamed a smile brighter than the Sun and said "Elesis and I are girlfriends." She hugged the Red Knight and kissed her cheek.

"DAMN IT!" was all that Add said before going to the kitchen and start cooking.

"What was that all about?" Rose asked.

Lu was the one who answered. "Add shall be my personal chef for 6 months so the food is on me during that time."

Aisha had a wide grin on her face and she yelled into the kitchen "Hey Add! Make sure my steak is well-done!"

"Screw you!"

Ciel took a quick glance into the kitchen and saw that Add was still working. "He's still doing it."

Elsword got up and walked to the new couple. "Well, it was about time you guys started dating."

Ara locked shocked and asked "How did you know?!"

"Uh hello! It was so obvious you 2 have a thing for each other." Aisha said a bit irritated.

"The signs were evident." Eve stated in a neutral voice.

Elesis put an arm around Ara as she replied "All is well that ends well and this ended extremely well for me." She gave her new girlfriend a kiss.

Ara blushed a little but then kissed her back. "Now, let's eat. I'm starving."

"I need an hour to finish cooking!" Add yelled from the kitchen, still irritated that he lost.

Elesis saw the sad look in Ara's eyes and pulled out her half sandwich in front of her. She was surprised and asked "Huh? I thought you ate it all."

"I wanted to share with you." the knight stated while smiling kindly at her girlfriend. Ara took the food and started eating it. After she was done, she said "Thank you."

Elesis hugged Ara and replied "Anything for my little fox."

They then went to the living room and joined the others, who were watching a movie. Ara was more focused on Elesis the entire time and kept looking mostly at her. "Best day ever!" she thought as she fell asleep on her loved one's shoulder.

Elesis noticed Ara was asleep and hugged her close. "Hehe, sweet dreams, my love." she thought as she joined her girlfriend in dream land.

Okay, so the ending could have been a little better but it could have been worse. Hope you enjoyed!

Next time: BH x YR will start a relationship.
