A/N: Sorry it's taking longer and longer to update. I'm doing a lot of stuff right now, one of them being writing other Charlie Bone shorts. Anyways, I plan to have a lot of fun with Fidelio's brotherly tirade of protection. I'm sorry if Fidelio seems a little out of character. I just kind of planned on him being over protective.
"Ria, are you sure you're ready for this? Ria, why didn't you tell me before? Ria, where are you going? How could you not know? You're not ready for this, you need to call it off" and so on and so forth. It seemed that Fidelio had again forgotten that Ria was the same age as him. However, when she pointed that fact out she got the usual reply.
" I'm older than you by ten minutes, which means that I have a license to be protective." Ria sighed. This conversation was looping on itself fast.
" Ria, it's obvious that I'm not going to be able to sway you, which has partially proven to me that you're ready. The other part is going to be how you handle the first date. There are a couple things that you CAN'T do." He handed her a sheet of paper that was on his desk, which he had been sitting at the entire time he was talking to Ria.
Ria looked at the page and saw that Fidelio had made a list of things she shouldn't do. She barely contained a snort of laughter. She read down the list:
No hand holding
You must be sitting on opposite sides of the table
The two of you must remain at least a foot from each other at all times
Absolutely NO kissing
The list continued, and with each item the laughter building up inside Ria got a little higher. By the time she read the last item she had her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing.
" Lio, some of these things are inevitable. You can't really expect us to stay a foot away from each other all night. We'll probably be closer than that at the table." Fidelio looked like he was about to start another speech. So Ria quickly amended
" But I'll try" Fidelio calmed down. He smiled, and Ria said
" Thanks for the guidelines Lio" and ran up the stairs to her room while Fidelio called after her
" RULES!"
