Angel awoke one morning, as he sighed smiling as he saw his cute dog Kain sitting on the end of the bed. He stretched out and looked out the window and saw the rain pouring down softly. He smiled happily as it seemed he wouldn't need to water his crops for today. He grabbed his raincoat and walked out, seeing his crops watered by nature's own watering can. He walked over to the mailbox and saw a letter describing the event coming tomorrow. "Dear Angel, tomorrow starting at 9 am is our Egg Festival, where you can go on an egg hunt to earn rewards! I hope to see you there, signed Mayor Lewis"
He thought for a few moments before he smiled softly and lightly. He grabbed some extra gifts he had and decided to visit town and do his daily gifting routine. He gave gifts to those in Pierre's home and store first then made his way around, even going to go visit that wizard he talked to a while ago. He saw Emily and smiled as he walked to her and went to speak before he slipped and fell harshly unto his back, gasping in pain as he felt the wind knocked out of him. He could barely see as he gasped and groaned in pain, the last thing he could see before he closed his eyes were Haley and Emily worried and trying to pick him up. He awoke harshly as he jumped up, having had a dream he would rather not have had. He looked for his glasses and felt them on a nearby table and soon saw he was inside of Emily and Haley's house. He looked around before he saw both Haley and Emily staring at him. "my head and back hurt what happened?" He asked as both looked to each other. "Well you were coming to see us, and well I think you slipped, fell and hit your head and back pretty hard, we also found this underneath you." They said as they brought out a bag of items as he saw this and groaned out softly losing his smile as he saddened. "I'm so sorry, I had gifts for you guys in there and I was clumsy and fell on them, I'm sorry" He said as they both laughed and smiled a bit as he looked up a bit confused as he saw them smile, before they both looked to him and told him that they didn't care and that it was the thought of him giving them a gift that mattered. He let a soft pink tint cover his face as he smiled and laughed going to get up before he was pushed back down. "nope you're not going anywhere, your resting for a little bit even if we both have to make sure." Emily said with her arms crossed before Haley nodded. "Yeah, you always working your butt off, so take a rest for a bit, also your going to the egg festival tomorrow, even if most of us in town have to drag you." He heard this as he looked away softly and sighed before he smiled. "here I am, was going to give you guys gifts and now look at this, me being given your kindness as a gift" He said as he sighed, seeming as if he would keep the two company and help them for the rest of the day. He soon made his way out and waved goodbye. He made his way home and sighed, seeming so calm and collected on the way there. He walked into his home and sat on the bed before he put his hands over his face, a bright red tint covering it as he looked to the mirror. "I can't believe how clumsy I was during that, oh that was so embarrassing man." He said before heading off to sleep soon after.
He had that same dream once more. He had it again, and it was happening more and more recent after having officially settled into the farm. He got up and saw the time. 8:50 am, he stretched out as he went to start getting dressed before he heard a knock on the door. He was a bit to sleepy and had thought he had put a shirt on himself before going to the door and opening it as he rubbed his eyes softly. "hey Angel! Good Morning, here to pick you up for the…the…u-umm d-did I interrupt something?" A female voice said as he looked up to see a brightly blushing Emily as he looked down as he was only wearing a pair of shorts as he blushed and held up a finger. "G-give me a few minutes." He responded as he closed the door, coming out a few moments later, clothed and ready for the Egg Festival as he pulled his suspenders a bit embarrassed. He looked down softly as he saw Emily look away and speak softly. "Angel, do we need to talk about something? Those scars…" Before she finished, he held up a finger and shook his head softly, as he looked down. "It's a past I want to forget about, lets just celebrate the Egg Festival okay?" He said, making a smile before he made his way through the pathway. Emily looked to him and looked down, thinking to herself softly. She decided to pin it at the bud at a later moment. The Egg Festival continued happily, as did the day. Angel made his way home before he was suddenly stopped by Emily as he froze suddenly. She moved in front of him. "Angel, I'm sorry but…I can't handle this, I want to help you Angel, I saw something, you're in pain, I could see it on your face since yesterday, keeping it inside won't help you." When Emily spoke, he moved his hand and gripped at his arm softly, looking down as he shook softly shaking his head a bit rapidly. "N-no, I don't want to talk to about it…I-I'm not ready to." He said before he suddenly apologized and rapidly made his way to his home, before he had left, Emily could see a tear going down his face. He ran to the farm after crossing the boundary of where the bus stop was and ran into his house and slammed the door shut, shuddering softly and lightly as he slid down softly holding himself as he shook and softly cried. He was able to pull himself to his bed a bit as he soon passed out after having calmed himself down.
After that night, most people hadn't seen Angel in a while, and most were getting worried something happened. Especially Emily who was entirely blaming herself for what had happened. She couldn't handle it anymore. She made her way to the farm, as she saw that the crops had been taken care of a bit, but the grass, stones and wood were starting to build up a bit. She went up the stairs and knocked on the door. "Angel? Are you there?" She asked, but with no response, just nothing. She was getting a bit more worried now as she knocked once more. "Angel, I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have peered and bothered to much about a topic that I had no right to barge into, just please, everyone in town is worried…I'm worried. Please." She said nearly almost crying as he opened the door softly, looking down before she opened the door and hugged him tightly, as he was in complete utter shock, before hugging back and inviting her in softly. He had made some food and tea as he offered her some, Emily thanking him for the food, and talked for a while…a long while. Angel admitting to Emily that what he had done wasn't right and that she was only trying to help because she cared. They spoke about his past, about how he had shut himself out from the world as a child, due to being treated differently for who he was, and how he was scared to be himself, and that the farm had changed a lot of those decisions and fears he had. He got up smiling as they finished soon reaching night as he placed the pots and dishes and utensils into the sink as he looked to the calendar, seeing it was the Flower Dance Festival tomorrow. He turned to the leaving Emily and stopped her, blushing a tad bit as he sighed and gathered his courage. "Hey Emily? Would you…mind being my dance partner tomorrow at the Flower Dance?" He asked blushing brightly and deeply as he looked down, his fingers playing with each other as a nervous tick. She smiled kindly and softly nodding happily. "Yes, that would be plentiful fun Angel, thank you for asking, I hope you know how to dance, if not, Ill make sure you try not to step on my feet's and trip." She teased softly and laughed as he smiled and nodded lightly and softly. "Don't worry, I have a suit picked out anyway, so ill see you tomorrow at the dance." He said as he nodded and smiled waving goodbye as she made her way as he closed the door and blushed brightly. "O-oh my god, I actually asked her, o-oh my god!" He freaked out softly before he readied his bed for the night to sleep. Emily herself was rather surprised that he had grown the courage to ask, having such a soft tint of pink covering her face as she made her way home, arriving and being teased by her sister about it as she went to bed for the night.
The night went by rather quickly, as Angel sighed softly and looked himself in the dark blue suit he had gotten for the dance. He gulped and hoped that he would look good enough. He exited and made his way to the event. A couple of minutes had gone by as he chatted with others before he saw a beautiful gem walk through the flower arch. Emily had worn a beautiful blue dress as she had a tint of red on her face as Angel nearly dropped his drink, Sebastian, Sam and Abigail smirking as they pushed the frozen farmer towards his partner. "W-wow you look…b-beautiful." He said, a much redder tint on his face as Emily smiled and laughed a bit. "thank you, I've been working on it for a while now, and I think you look really good in that dark blue suit, that red blush contrasts it really well." She teased as he blushed a bit brighter as she took his hand, smiling a bit as he soon smiled as well. They both went unto the dance floor and had their fun, dancing with each other and having such a good day for the night. The Flower Dance ended with the usual dance ceremony which was made a bit funnier with Angel having messed up here and then. Emily and Angel made their way home, him having dropped her off as she turned and smiled. "Hey, thank you for dancing with me Angel, it was so much fun, and I'm very glad about it by the way so really, thank you…" He went to leave after smiling and thanking her for the same, before she went over and kissed his cheek as she blushed waving goodbye with that bright positive smile as a massive blush went over his face, a hand coming up to his cheek as he made his way home. He sat on the bed and smiled softly and lightly as he sighed happily. There ended his first season at Pelican Town in Stardew Valley, but also the start of his new life had only just begun.
