I'll admit, I'm trying a bit too hard in the beginning of the chapter.

Rose woke up due to feeling a warm breath on her face.

She opened her eyes to notice Allen, his face close to hers. Allen had planned to kiss her while she slept. I felt so embarrassed just writing that last sentence!

Rose's eyes widened as he gave her a peck on the lips that lasted about one minute. YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT ALLEN!

"Oh, you've awoken. Good morning." He gave her a smile.

"A-A-A-Allen! I-I-I...Good morning to you too..." Rose stuttered as she covered her mouth and realized she was on his bed.

"W-w-w-why am I on your bed?!" She squeaked and sat up.

"You just couldn't convince me to leave you sleeping uncomfortably on the couch..." Allen said as he sat up and ran his fingers through his hair.

"B-b-but!"

"What would you like for breakfast?"

'H-how's he so calm after that!?'

"Answer my question, Rose..."

"I-I dunno, p-pancakes?!" Rose flailed her arms around, still in shock of what happened earlier.

"You seem surprised." Allen chuckled.

"Y-yeah, w-well when you k-kiss me like t-that-"

"Pancakes, right?" He asked as he stood up and headed towards the kitchen.

"R-right..." Rose muttered as she went into the restroom and changed.

She then got out and sat at the table.

"Did you really wear that dress for me yesterday?" Allen asked as he placed the food on the table and sat across from her.

"W-well, of course...I tried to, at least. I really wanted you to be happy!" Rose smiled and ate.

"You've certainly done more than enough." He gave her a truly sincere smile.

The two were now outside Allen's door.

"So, uh...I'll see you later, then...?" Rose said nervously.

"I've got to work today since it was delayed due to yesterday's storm." Allen explained.

"Oh, okay. Well, I'll see you when I see you, I guess..." She couldn't get the image of what happened earlier out of her head.

"Same to you."

"T-thank you for s-sort of l-letting me s-stay o-over and c-caring for me and s-stuff..." Rose gave him a small smile.

"The pleasure's all mine." Allen started. "You better let me stay over when your birthday comes. Oh, and...make sure you're the one giving me a kiss." He gave her a playful wink.

Rose slightly jumped and nodded frantically. "Y-y-yeah, okay! I-I-I will! Promise!" She stuttered, her face turning dark red. 'Wait, what did I just say!?'

"I'll be waiting."

"See you later..."

"See you."

As Rose was in her house, finished changing into her work clothes, since she can't work in a dress, she heard knocking at the door.

She opened the door to see Yuri standing in front of her.

"Hi, Yuri! Do you need anything?"

"Hello...Rose...I need help...My mannequin...It broke...So I sent it over to...Iroha to...Fix it...Can you model for a...New outfit I'm working on?" The fashion designer asked.

"Sure! I'll be glad to help!" Rose smiled. 'As soon as I'm done helping her, I have to tend to Winter. Hopefully this doesn't take a long time...'

As the two headed outside and into town, Neil noticed them walking into Yuri's tailor shop.

Rose was dressed up in a white shirt and blue overalls, along with a red scarf and brown boots with laces tied up.

"Is it...Comfortable?" Yuri asked as she motioned for Rose to turn around.

"It's alright. It's not tight or anything...I think it's pretty cute!" She smiled and moved around.

"...Good. Now for..." The fashion designer nodded and rummaged through her closet to find a hat with a black spot pattern.

As she looked for the hat, Rose played with the red scarf until she heard the store's door creaking open.

"Hey Rose, I saw you coming in here-" Neil froze when he noticed her in the outfit, and to top it all off, Yuri had found the hat and placed it on Rose's head.

He blushed as Rose walked towards him, careful not to ruin the outfit.

"Hey, Neil!" She smiled.

"H-hey..."

"How do I look?" Rose spun around.

"You look...nice...really nice..." Neil muttered as he looked away. 'She looks so...What's the word I'm looking for...?'

"I'm trying this out for Yuri! Her mannequin broke, so I'm helping her." She explained.

"Oh..." 'I think I'd like to see her wear that outfit all day...'

'Neil's looking at me a bit...strangely...Is he okay...?' Rose wondered.

"Can you...wait outside if you...need to...talk to Rose? She'll be out...when she's done helping..." Yuri told him.

"Yeah." And with that, Neil quickly walked outside. He then sat on one of the benches Rose placed the other day and lowered his head into his hands. 'She looked so...cute...And I came only to tell her I couldn't check on Winter yesterday...I wasn't expecting this at all...'

There's more NeilxRose coming up next chapter! I don't know why, but I'm really active this week! I'm really happy with all of the reviews I've gotten recently! The fanfiction seems to be growing with all of the chapters I'm writing, and I have all of you to thank! ^^ You don't know how happy I am, it's like the feeling you get when it turns out your crush actually likes you back!(I've never had that happen to me, but you get the idea.) In the beginning, I got stuck, but it turned out well. Also, that's Rose when she gets too embarassed to stay calm for you! I noticed that I gave Rose certain...feelings or something similar to that whenever she's with a certain bachelor. Whenever she's with Allen, she gets nervous and stutters a lot, but who wouldn't? Whenever she's with Rod, she's calm and tells him about what she used to do and stuff. Whenever she's with Neil, she's happy and outgoing because she likes him a bit. I think this makes up for a good fanfiction, don't you think? Well, as always, reviews are highly appreciated and ideas are accepted!^^
