Hi again! thanks to those who looked at this story but special thanks to the one who reviewed VVolf

Waking up to the sound of his alarm clock going off, Alfons opened his blue eyes and knew today was the day he'd go back to work; not that he didn't pride himself in engineering planes and rockets for Germany but…. After some years of little breaks and long hours, it gets tiring.

Taking his shower and getting dressed the young man was introduced to the smell of a breakfast he didn't remember making just yet.

"Good morning Alfons"

"Oh good morning Noah!" how could he forget she lived here now!

"I made you breakfast"

"I can see, it smells wonderful!"

"Here sit" placing a plate of food in front of the boy, he happily sat down and begun to eat as Noah placed herself on the other side of the small table with the same food.

"Wow Noah, you're an amazing cook"

"Thank you"

"Where did you learn to cook like this?" he asked nonchalantly, a stuffed grin on his face not seeing a slight decrease in the smile Noah produced

"I traveled a lot, you learn how to fend on your own- I just happen to be good at it really"

"…Noah well thank you, for the great food!"

"It was my pleasure" seeing the boy smile trying to cheer her up, the dark girl returned it fully. "What are your plans today Alfons?"

"Actually I have to go back to work"

"I see"

"Don't be so sad, today's your first day at your new part-time!" seeing as how she was living with him now, Noah felt obligated to pay Alfons back for all he's done for her. He in turn declined it but she persisted and in the end he asked Ms. Gracia from the flower store to give Noah a part-time job there.

It was perfect. The job was close, she could get home before he could, never get lost and work beside one of the most sweetest women on the planet!

"Yes, thank you again for getting me this job Alfons, I'll promise to hold my end of this"

"It's fine really! Don't look so sad though"

"…"

"Ms. Gracia is a sweet woman, she'll treat you right I promise" giving his new roommate a kind smile, Noah couldn't help but find herself smiling as well.

Putting on his light jacket and her shawl, the two exited the house closing the door they entered the flower shop

"Good morning Ms. Gracia"

"Good morning to you too Alfons, Noah"

"Good morning ma'am"

"Oh Gracia's just fine now" smiling at the girl, Alfons nodded

"Ms. Gracia then"

"Hah just like Alfons I see" looking between to two "you two aren't doing anything I should know about are you?"

In unison, both glanced at each other and turned to other way flushed a light pink.

"I'm just kidding now, Alfons is too young and I'm sure so are you Noah"

"W-well I better get going to work, I'll see you at home Noah" waving goodbye at the flower shop owner and then his roommate

"I'll be waiting Alfons, take care"

"I will!" with that he ran off.

Returning home from her part-time after working a long day, Noah looked at the clock, seeing as it was only 5 still early before Alfons would return home and clearly not reason enough to start dinner, the dark girl decided to take a shower.

She didn't have any clothes but thankfully Alfons allowed her some of his, until they could afford her new ones.

"Old gypsy clothes…" they were the only things she had connecting her to her past, the only things she brought with her from that ever roaming world of performers.

Taking off her clothes she entered the bathroom. Letting the warm water pound against her dark skin, running her fingers through her black hair undoing the braids; time stood still for another moment.

She had been staying with Alfons Heiderich for only a few days, not even a week and yet Noah couldn't remember the last time she had felt so….calm. Every morning she awoke happy to start the day, with food and an income; and every night she knew she wouldn't have to worry where she'd be in the morning.

Noah had a home…even if it may be temporary for the moment, it was a starting place, and it was she had asked for.

Turning the water off and stepping out of the tub, wrapping herself in a towel her black locks dripping and clutching her form, she stepped out of the bathroom and looked over at her old clothes- dirty and haphazardly placed on the floor.

"…I'll probably throw them out, I don't need them anymore" looking away Noah began to dress herself in Alfons clothes.

Dropping the towel completely she placed on the slightly faded dark blue pants and begun to reach for the shirt when the bedroom door suddenly flung open.

"Noah! Ah…"

"…."

"…."

"…. AHHH!"

"AH! I-I'm so sorry!" closing the door in front of him, Alfons turned the other way and ran downstairs, his face aflame with a deep blush.

Stupid stupid!

"Alfons Heiderich you are such an idiot!" slamming his hand against his forehead with force the blond boy sat on his small couch, trying to bring down the hard blush on his cheeks.

When he got home he expected to be greeted with a warm smile from Noah maybe a small conversation about the day and then dinner but- when he got home, nothing.

No warm smile, no smell of dinner, no Noah. And for an irrational moment Alfons thought the worst.

Because she was a gypsy people had told him she wasn't safe to let into his house, that she would steal everything from him and then disappear never to return. He didn't believe them- Noah wasn't that kind of girl he knew that deep down.

And then he thought maybe someone took her! Because she was a gypsy and different in Germany, to society her people weren't considered…people. But the possibilities of that weren't likely and so he was left with one fear.

….that Noah left. And that was what scared him the most, running around the small house he called her name with no answer, running up stairs he looked through all the rooms save the last one, her room.

Gathering his courage at the sight he feared would meet him- an empty room, Alfons opened the door only to find quite the opposite, Noah in person….and half naked.

"Damn it!" feeling a deep red blush aligning his cheeks at the memory flare up once more, Alfons tried to forget the image of Noah, with her dark black hair wet and dripping- sticking to her perfect body, his pants on her large and much too big, her still wet dark skin….and her uncovered…

"No! stop it Alfons! Noah isn't- she wouldn't like that! Stop thinking like that!" shaking his head Alfons stood up and decided to leave to get a breath of fresh air when the sound of footsteps on the stairs stopped him short.

Looking up to see his roommate, light blue orbs met with dark brown eyes.

"..Noah…"

"…"

"…"

"…."

"….I- I'm so sorry!" bowing his head to hide his flushed face, the boy heard footsteps continue down the stairs until they stopped in front of him

"..If you want to hit me I understand!" lifting his head to look at her with a frown, his face still red Alfons stood still awaiting the pain he would soon feel.

"..it was an accident, right?"

"Huh? Ah yes! It was a complete accident! I really didn't mean to see you undressing or-"

"Then it's alright…"

"..wha" looking up at him a faint smile on her flushed cheeks, her still wet hair clinging to her face

"It's alright, I forgive you Alfons"

"Noah…thank you" bowing once more he smiled to her and grinned "h-how about tonight I cook dinner instead, it's the least I can do after walking in on you"

"..okay but let me help at least"

"Alright!" and so they headed into the kitchen, ready to make a wondrous dinner for two.

"By the way Noah, how do my clothes fit?"

"The pants are a bit big, but the shirt is fine the way it is although…"

"Although?"

"It's a bit tight around the chest…" blushing Noah turned the other way to avoid the look Alfons was giving her

"Ah right ahah sorry!" what a stupid question to ask! And for the second time that day Alfons cursed his stupidity.

"I'll be able to get you some new clothes soon but in the mean time I asked Ms. Gracia if she could spare some of her own"

"I couldn't wear her clothes too, these are enough!"

"You can't walk around in pants Noah, woman aren't allowed"

"…oh"

"It'll only be for a while" looking at the dark girl with bright blue eyes Alfons winked and went back to the food on the oven, as Noah in turn nodded

"Thank you Alfons"

"Hmm? You say something?"

"No, nothing"

Me- aww poor Alfons and Noah! Haha I put them into a quite embarrassing scene so it would seem hhah
