Alice watched the Vongola cloud fill in paper work, she tilted her head, leaning it on her arms. "What do you want Alice?" he murmured, not taking his eyes off the paper work he was doing.
"What's Autophobia?" Alice asked. "I heard it when I was in town the other day," She said, her large blue eyes looked up at him in wonder.
"It's the fear of being alone." Alaude answered, dipping his pen in his ink bottle.
"Oh, I see," Alice whispered, she shut her eyes as the summer's sun heated her skin. "Alaude…" She mumbled. "Do you have Autophobia?" She asked without thinking.
"I think you know the answer to that," Alaude sighed. "People are annoying." He stated. Alice frowned a little to herself in thought and it was silent in his study once more.
"Alaude… What would you do if I said I had Autophobia?" Alice asked timidly, fiddling with her golden locks. Alice could hear he had stopped writing and gotten up. She shut her eyes tightly and felt something placed beside her hand.
"A-Alaude?" he asked, she opened an eye and looked around, he had left her, but had placed a small box near her hand. She slowly opened it and her mouth opened in shock at the sight of the simple engagement band. Her cheeks flushed. "I guess that's his answer."
