These two are just the cutest couple EVER. Read and Review if you agree, pretty please! :D

"Romeo! Look!"

Romeo looked up from the request board and towards the sound of Wendy's voice. She was sitting at one of the tables, Reedus sitting beside her. They each held a canvas and paintbrushes. She was grinning and gesturing for him to come over to her. He fought back a grin at the smears of blue paint on her cheeks as he came to the table.

"What is it, Wendy?"

"Reedus is giving me painting lessons!" she said excitedly. "I finished my first painting! Wanna see?"

Romeo actually had to be heading out to meet a couple of friends from school. But he couldn't say no to how happy she was. "Sure. What did you paint?"

"This!" And she turned the canvas towards him.

Romeo tried to keep a smile on his face and not a confused frown. Instead of a clear picture, all he saw was smears of blue, yellow, and black. "U-Um….that's a beautiful…." He trailed off, unsure of what the colors were.

Wendy's smile turned into a frown. "A bluebird," she said. "It's a bluebird."

"Ah!" Romeo forced a smile. "I knew it!"

Wendy's frown deepened. "You're lying," she accused.

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are." She put down the canvas and crossed her arms. "You had no idea what it was. You thought it wasn't good."

"No, it was very good for a beginner."

Wendy sniffed. "Hmph. Well, then."

Romeo scrambled around frantically in his head for something to say that would be right. He caught Reedus grinning at him over Wendy's head and glared at him. "I-I didn't mean to make you upset…" he tried.

Wendy just turned back to her canvas, picked up her paintbrush, and starting adding more blue to the painting.

"I'm sorry," he said.

Then Wendy turned and poked him in the cheek with the bristle-end of her paintbrush, leaving a big blue dot on his skin. She grinned. "There. Now I feel better."

"Why, you…" He snatched up another paintbrush off the table and dabbed it onto Wendy's nose, turning the tip of her nose pink.

"Hey!" And she started to paint him blue some more, but he danced out of her way.

"Come and get me!" he challenged, grinning.

Wendy got up, wielding her paintbrush like a sword as she leaped after him. He ducked and the brush went right over his head. He backed up and she said, "Romeo!"

"Too slow!" he taunted.

Wendy made a growling sound and lunged for him again. He dodged again.

By this point, guild members were picking sides, yelling either "Go Wendy!" or "Go Romeo!" Cana had even already started taking bets on who would paint the other first. Wendy and Romeo ignored them all, though, their sole purpose now to get the other.

Romeo swiped at Wendy with his brush, but she stepped back, avoiding the pink paint, and stuck her tongue out him. "Now who's too slow?" she said, raising an eyebrow mischievously.

Romeo grinned back at her. "I'll get you, Wendy Marvell."

"I'd love to see you try, Romeo Conbolt," she retorted.

Romeo's grin seemed to widen at her confidence, which had started to emerge around the time of her fourteenth birthday a few months ago. They went on with their little game for a while, lunging, swiping, ducking, laughing…until, suddenly, Romeo tripped.

"Gaah!" He went sprawling onto the floor, his paintbrush rolling under a chair. He quickly turned over onto his back, but Wendy was already there, sitting on his belly and laughing.

"I win!" she cheered.

"Not fair!" Romeo whined, but she ignored him and reached down, doodling on his face with blue paint.

"I'll give you a butterfly…and a heart…and a flower," she told him, smiling as she painted on him.

"Wendy," he whined, squirming underneath her, but he was smiling, too.

"Son, you can't lose to a girl!" yelled Macao above the roaring laughter of the other guild members.

"But he can lose to his girlfriend!" Wendy shouted back, then said, "Ooh! I'll also paint a smiley face…"

Suddenly, Romeo reached up and snatched the brush out of her hand. With a shout from Wendy, he flipped over until he was sitting on her instead. "Now I win," he said, flashing her a grin.

"Romeo! You're heavy!" she complained.

"And now you're blue." And he started painting on her face, too. In blue paint, he wrote ROMEO across her face.

"There," he said when he was finished and he stood up off of her. Offering her his hand, he grinned again and said, "Now everyone knows you're mine."

When Romeo finally left the guild to meet his friends, the very first thing they said when they saw him was, "Dude, why is there a blue flower on your face?"

"Wendy," he replied.

The other boys went quiet for a minute. Then one of them said, "You are so whipped, man."

Romeo just grinned. "I know."
