Arnold's POV

I wake up and it's sunday morning. The day after I hung out with Helga. It feels like a dream to me. Is this real? Is there really someone beside me who loves me and I love? I smiled and sit up on my bed. I turn to notice that my phone was flashing. Oh, a call? A text? I wondered as I grabbed my phone and flipped it open to see a couple of texts from Gerald and... A message from Helga!?. I yelped not being able to open the message fast enough.

"Hey football head. Can we meet somewhere? I need to speak to you about something." I read out loud. I got pretty worried from the text so I decided to call her instead. The phone rang a couple of times before she answered.

"Hello?" her voice made me a little anxious.

"Hey Helga. You said you wanted to talk about something?" I held tightly on my phone.

"Yeah. Can we talk somewhere?" she replied. I thought of the plans I had today.

"I was going to help my grandpa out with some things at home and I have yet to do my homework.." I added. "but your more than welcome to come over. We can talk in my room." I smiled at the thought of having her in my room.

"S-sure. That sounds like a plan. Ill see you there in a while. How does 2 sound?" she asked. I agreed.

"See you then Helga." I finished and hung up. I looked at the clock on my phone. "Its 9am... Damn. I have to wait 5 hours to see what she wants to talk about." I pouted when I suddenly heard a couple of knocks on my door.

"You in there Shortman? You up yet?" said Grandpa. I got up out of my bed as I started getting ready for my day.

"I'm up grandpa. I'll be down in a bit." I said putting on my cloths.

"Okay Shortman. Don't forget to put some raggedy clothing on since were going to get a bit dirty now." he said laughing. I forgot that we were supposed to clean out the attic a bit. Grandpa and Grandma have a lot of things up there. I fix my bed and make my way downstairs. Grandma had made some breakfast before we get things started. I show them the most raggedy cloths I have on.

"Is this raggedy enough?" I chuckled because of the obvious yes. With a mouth full of food, grandpa gave a a thumbs up and swallowed what he was chewing.

"Looking great Hobo- Oh! I mean Shortman!" he laughed. Grandma came to me and served me a plate of food as I sat down.

"Make sure to eat your food Kimba. I'm sure you haven't eaten in ages!" she sat a plate towered with food that I obviously was not able to finish. I chuckled and looked at her

"Thanks grandma." I said as she saluted me and continued doing her thing. Man... 5 whole hours... This is going to be a long day.

End POV

Helga was walking to Arnold's house. She was a bit nervous. She knew he meant to harm, it's Arnold after all, but this is the first time she was invited into his room without her having to sneak in. She smiled at the thought of him though.

"Oh Arnold! My love! How you make me yearn for you every waking minute of every waking hour! I long to see those emerald colored eye's of yours that make me melt and that goofy blond hair that is as smooth as I can only imagine!" she said in her daydream like tone, only in thought of Arnold. She regains her composure as she arrives at his door. She looks at her phone. "It's 2:05pm. Okay. That way I don't seem TOO anxious to be here." she whispered to herself as she knocked on the door. For a while no one answered so she knocked again a little louder. She then heard fast footsteps heading towards the door. The door opened and she saw Arnold. He was covered in dust and sweat. Helga waved her hand in front of her with a smile from all the dust.

"Helga! You're already here! Wait a second... It's already two!?." Arnold looked around in the home to look for a clock to check the time. Helga laughed.

"Yupp. Im here Arnaldo. In the flesh." she said. "What's goin on in there? And why do you look like a total hobo?" she laughed pointing. Arnold scratched the back of his neck and looked down at his appearance.

"I was helping my grandpa clean out the attic. We just got done." he said and then looked at Helga in the eyes. She gave a slight blush as both stayed a bit quiet for a moment. Arnold seemed to be admiring Helga. She had some ripped blue jeans on with some dark blue mid tops, a white tank top, and a dark blue flannel shirt with the sleeves rolles up. Her hair was in a high ponytail but compared to how Arnold looked, he thought she was pretty darn amazing.

"Hey Shortman. I see you have company!" His grandpa stated as he put a box on top of a pile of boxes in the hall. "You can go and entertain your little friend Arnold. All your grandma and I gotta do is take these boxes to charity." he said putting his hands on his back as he turned back. Helga and Arnold made a uncomfortable look as they heard Arnold's grandpa's back crack loudly.

"Ummm okay grandpa." Arnold said as he opened the door for Helga. She walked in as Arnold closed the door.

"It's upstairs." he said nervously. Helga followed.

"Pookie! Let's get going and take these boxes before they close!" Helga laughed at the elders as Arnold's grandma ran from one room to the other.

"Your grandparents are so old but so full of energy football head." Arnold looked back at her and then forward again with a smile.

"That's grandpa and grandma for you." they laughed as they got to Arnolds room. Helga was looking around, admiring everything as if it were the first time. "You can sit wherever you want." Arnold said scratching thr back of his neck pointing anywhere and looked down at himself. "Man. I should really take a shower." he said. Helga looked at him.

"I can wait Arnold. Go ahead and look nice for me." she said teasingly. Arnold raised an eyebrow and laughed it off.

"Okay Helga gimme a sec. I'll be right back" He said as he grabbed a towel. "Make yourself at home." as he closed the door. Helga took a sigh of relief and sat down on his bed. Who knew It would be this tiring acting like I've never been here before. She said chuckling at herself. Some moments pass till Arnold came out of the shower. He cracked open the door only a little bit. Helga looked up from her phone with a confused look.

"Helga would you mind closing your eye's? I forgot to grab some cloths so all I have on is my towel." he said with a small blush. Helga smirked and put her camera on, raising her phone.

"No problem Arnaldo. Done. Go ahead." She giggled inside as Arnold walked in only to notice Helga taking a picture of him, her eyes all on him. A blush went across his face and seeing that made Helga get a small blush as well.

"Helga!" Arnold yelled as he ran to her, trying to snatch her phone away, still having one hand on the towel covering him. "Helga c'mon!" he said but she wouldn't budge. She just laughed as Arnold reached for her phone. Both they're eyes were on the phone but when they decided to look at each other, they were right in front of one another. Helga unknowingly had her hand on his bare chest, which made her turn red from ear to ear and Arnold the same when he realized how soft her touch felt on his chest. Arnold gave a small gasp as he quickly sat down and then stood up. He quickly got cloths to change in and dashed out the door. Helga looked at him the whole time. That was weird. Why did he get up and leave so fast? She thought. She noticed that he had one hand in front of him as if she had hurt him there or something. She lifted her hand, remembering the touch of his chest. She wondered how Arnold felt since he left so fast and then she realized.

"He... He... " she couldn't say it as she turned bright red at the thought. She slapped herself to try to regain her composer but still. The thought of THAT made her blush and in his ROOM! She fell back on Arnold's bed to try and relax. Arnold came in, a blush still on his face, scratching the back of his neck.

"S-sorry Helga..." he said Helga sat up putting her elbow on her knee and hand holding her chin, looking to the side.

"It was my fault... S-sorry." she apologized as well. Arnold walked to her and sat next to her.

"So what was it that you wanted to talk about." he asked. She slowly sat straight up and looked at Arnold.

"I wanted to make sure." she said. "So... Were official... Right?" in a fragile and shaky tone. Arnold looked at her somewhat confused and then smiled as he grabbed her hand, placing it on his lips to give it a kiss. When he put down her hand, still holding it. He looked at her.

"Yes Helga." she then slightly smiled as well. She stood up and walked a couple of steps, crossing her arms.

"I still don't think we should tell anyone." she said.

"And why not?" Arnold asked. "Do you hate me that much?" he teased. She quickly turned around and put her hands on her waist.

"Are you nuts!" she yelled, throwing Arnold back for a moment. "I just don't want anyone like little miss princess, Rhonda, or dweeb one and two, Sid and Stinky, and the others to fuss at you! Or I'm going to have to beat someone down!" she said punching her hand. Arnold laughed at the thought. Helga just gave him an annoyed look. When he was done laughing, he layed down on his bed and patted next to him so Helga can lay down as well. She gave a blush and Arnold chuckled.

"Don't worry Helga. I won't do anything you don't want me to." he said. All Helga could think was Oh my love. Only if you knew. As she walked to him and layed down next to him. He turned his body to look at her and she did the same. "Helga, I've said it before. I don't care what the other's think of me. All I care about is you." he said putting his hand on her waist. "I've finally found someone I love and that loves me back. Do you really believe I'm going to care what they say?" he said winning a blush from Helga. "Oh but if they say something about you, then I'm going to have to do my own beat down." he said with a serious look. Helga laughed. Arnold raised an eyebrow and smiled. "What?" she put her arms around his neck.

"Arnold, you couldn't even hurt a fly." she laughed and then looked at him in the eyes. "but I get what you mean."she smiled at him as she put her lips against his. The kiss was so gentle and sincere. She could feel Arnold's lips forming a smile as they kissed and she broke apart looking at him and smiling. "What's with that sexy smile?" she said. He just chuckled and turned her around, putting his chin on the nape of her neck and hugging her. She felt so comfortable and vulnerable. She didn't want the feeling to end.

"I was just thinking how much of a jerk you were to me and now you've fallen for me." he teased. Helga let out a gasp and turned herself a bit to give him a punch on the shoulder. He laughed.

"You goofball. I haven't fallen for you!" his expression changed and she gave him a quick kiss on the lips before she turned back around, her back against his chest. "I've always been in love with you. So get it right." she said as she squeezed Arnold's hands on her stomach. He then squeezed her really tight with his face on her shoulder.

"Don't scare me like that." he said smiling. She smiled as well and they quietly layed side by side, comfortable in each others arms. A couple of hours passed as Helga woke up to get a little more comfortable and notices that Arnold had knocked out as well. She smiled as she lifted herself up with an arm and with her other hand she moved some hair away from Arnold's face. She looked at the time. 6 o'clock huh. She then remembered that Arnold needed to get some homework done so she shook him a little. He woke up, Helga smiling at him from the drowsy face she now called hers.

"Good Afternoon football head." Arnold smiled as he stretched. He sat up and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He looked around.

"Oh crap. What time is it?" he said, remembering he had homework to finish. Helga got up and put her phone in her pocket.

"It's going to be 6 so maybe you should start doing you're homework." she said. "I'll help myself out. See ya Arnold." before she could open the door, Arnold had quickly stood up and grabbed her hand. He gave her a kiss that made her blush. When they broke apart he looked at her in the eye's.

"I love you Helga Pataki." he smirked. She blushed.

"I... I love you too..." she said. Arnold let go of her hand as they smiled at each other, both with a tint of red on they're cheeks. She opened the door and Arnold walked her out the door.

"Text me when you get home Helga." Arnold said to make sure she got home safely. She looked at him.

"I'm not a kid Arnoldo." she said with a smirk. Arnold smirked back.

"You're not a kid but you're my girl so I have to make sure you're okay." he smiled and won as Helga blushed and nodded, making her way. Arnold closed the door and stretched his arms out. "Time to get this homework over with." he said walking up stairs with a smile on his face and a certain tomboy blond girl in his mind.
