"Romeo?" Romeo turned to look at Wendy, who had a weird expression on her face. She was staring down at the ground and her face was bright red.

"What's wrong Wendy?" he asked immediately concerned. Is she sick? She looks like it with how she's shaking.

"N-nothing!" she shouted quickly. "I just wanted to ask you something."

"Ask me whatever you want," he said with a bright smile. Though when he did she just seemed to turn more red. Romeo was really confused.

"W-well," she took a deep breath. "D-do you wanttogooutwithme?" she said really quickly.

"Um… sorry can you say that again?" he asked. Why was she being so weird. Wendy took a deep breath, calming herself a little.

"Do you want to go out with me?" she tried again.

"Go out where?" Wendy seemed to deflate slightly but after casting a glance at the bar she perked back up. Romeo really didn't understand what was going on.

"I don't know. I was thinking maybe the park?" she said with a bit of a tight smile. "I just so happen to have a picnic basket that was somehow "accidently" sent to me this morning." She glanced back at the bar quickly before her eyes went back to Romeo. Romeo somehow now just noticed the basket at her feet.

"Sure," Romeo said. "When do you want to go?"

"How about now?" She didn't give him the time to answer as she grabbed his hand and dragged him out the door. On the way out, he saw a certain someone smirk at him by the bar. What was happening?

Wendy never let go of his hand as they made their way to the park. He didn't mind and just let her drag him around the park. Finally deciding on a spot under a tree, Wendy came to a stop. Apparently just now realizing she still had a grip on his hand she quickly released it, turning very red.

She opened the basket and dropped blanket down that they both sat down on. They both pulled out all the food, which was quite a lot, and dug in. They talked for about anything and everything as they ate, sharing smiles and laughs. It was nice, Romeo thought. To be so close to someone that you could share anything and feel so comfortable.

"So why did you want to come here?" Romeo asked. Wendy tensed a little bit and Romeo frowned. Was she not as comfortable with him as he was with her. Why?

"I-I don't know. I guess I wanted to get out of the guild for a little bit," she muttered. Romeo shrugged, not wanting to push her. "I guess it's just a bit weird in there recently. You know with everyone falling for Mira's tricks everyone has been a little tense or too romantic to stand."

Romeo blinked at her, confused.

"I never got what Mira's tricks were all about that has everyone so crazy, but I haven't really felt awkward in the guild." Wendy looked down and began fidgeting with her hands.

"I guess it's a dragon thing," she muttered. Romeo got really close to Wendy and put his hand on her face. "W-what are you doing!?" she shrieked.

"Checking you for a fever. You keep getting all red." At this Wendy got even more red and her face felt much hotter. Romeo instantly thought she looked adorable but shook the thought away as quickly as it came. "Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah, I feel great," she said with a smile that looked a little forced. Romeo was starting to get upset.

"Wendy, tell me what's wrong. You've been acting weird all day. Did I do something?" Her eyes widened, and she quickly shook her head.

"No! Romeo of course you didn't do anything."

"Then what's wrong?" he asked again. They looked in each other's eyes and seemed to get lost in them. Neither realized that they were still close to each other. "Please?" he whispered.

After a few seconds, Wendy couldn't take it anymore and crashed her lips into his. Romeo sat frozen, slightly unware of what was happening as his best friend continued to kiss him. Wendy quickly pulled away and stared at Romeo, who was still frozen in place.

"I'm sorry," she said quickly. "I-I don't know why I did that I just…" she said quickly, and Romeo finally started to react when he saw the tears building in her eyes. "I'm sorry," she said as she got up to run, but he wouldn't let her. He grabbed her wrist and turned her around to face him again.

"I-it's okay. You don't have to leave. I was just… surprised." He gave her a small smile that didn't seem to make her feel any better.

"Romeo, I don't want you to feel like you have to return my feelings because I'm completely okay if you just want to be friends, and I won't hold it against you-"

"You have feelings for me?" he said, cutting off her ramble. Wendy just stared at him like he was an idiot. Maybe he was.

"Why do you think I kissed you?"

"I don't know!" he said. "This is all really weird." Wendy deflated a little and Romeo regretted his words. He sat up and brought his finger under her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"I didn't mean it like that," he sighed. "I guess it's just weird because things make a lot more sense now." The question in her eyes made him realize he still wasn't explaining right.

"It just… it explains why I'm so comfortable. Why I feel like I can tell you anything, and why I want to tell you everything. Why I get this funny feeling when I look at you and why I always want to be so close to you."

"R-really?" she said, her eyes shining.

"Well… yeah," he breathed out, unconsciously aware that they were both moving in closer. He leaned in all the way and gave her a sweet, quick kiss on the lips.

They both blushed bright red as they sat across from each other and continued with there picnic date. They were both so distracted that even Wendy didn't hear the camera click from a few feet away.

"Don't you just love blackmail?" Mira said as she skipped back to the guild. Once she got back she immediately started looking for her next challenge. "Let's see… who needs my help?"

She stopped as she saw her sweet little sister staring longingly at… someone.

"Okay little sis, you're up next," she said with a smirk.
