Chapter 3: Master, why would you do such a thing?

Fakir exited the cafe, feeling the cool breeze blow on his face as he stepped out. He sighed and looked to the afternoon sky above him.

"What did I get so nervous for? It's not like I'm fond of Ahiru." "Or am I?"

Fakir remembered how close Ahiru was to him. Her rosy lips in a warm smile, her blue eyes filled with innocence. Fakir shook away the image and ran a hand through his hair.

"Ridiculous. She's still the same clumsy duck that I know."

As he turned to leave, he felt a hand grab his. He turned around slightly to see Ahiru behind him.

"Fakir, you're leaving already?" Ahiru said, sadness apparent in her voice.

Fakir put his hand on Ahiru's head and gave it a gentle rub.

"Did you want me to stay?" Fakir asked, trying to hide the compassion in his voice. He didn't like seeing Ahiru sad.

"Yes… but if you don't feel well, I understand."

Fakir smiled tenderly at Ahiru, his hand still placed on top of her head.

"I feel better now, Ahiru. I'm sorry if I made you worry."

He noticed Ahiru was crying and became concerned.

As soon as Fakir was going to ask what was wrong, Ahiru came at him with hug.

Fakir held onto Ahiru as he fell to the ground, landing on his bottom.

"A-Ahiru?"

Fakir saw people staring at them and became nervous at the situation.

Fakir looked to Ahiru and held her close to him.

"Ahiru, look at me, ok?"

Ahiru hesitated, but slowly looked up to Fakir, receiving an unexpected kiss on her lips.

She moved away, her whole body turning beet red as she covered her mouth.

"W-Why did you…"

"I love you, Ahiru."

Ahiru gasped and put a hand towards her heart.

"I..."

She arose from the ground and began to run away.

"Ahiru wait!"

Fakir went to chase after her, but Rue stopped him.

"Here, you'll need to wear this."

Fakir received a costume that was similar to the Hatter's. He stared at it with a confused expression before looking at Rue.

"Huh?"

Rue giggled softly and pushed Fakir into the cafe to get changed.
