A/N: Sorry for people wanting to read the Julius confession but my brain kind of dies whenever I try writing that but I'm working on it! It should be the next one to be uploaded though, so in the mean time enjoy Gill's confession.

"Are you busy later in the day?"

"No I'm not, why do you ask?"

A blush formed on his face. "I was wondering if you would like to join me for lunch today..."

"It would be my honour to join you," she replied cheerfully.

The blonde haired man gripped his pen tightly while his eyes flickered from the clock to the door. No matter how hard he tried to concentrate on his work his thoughts would always start wandering, disabling him from working.

"Why don't you just go already, Gill? It's better to be early than late, you know," his co-worker Elli said wisely. She shook her head and let out a laugh as she compared the pile of paperwork she had completed to the pile he had yet to start.

"Father would not be pleased with me if I leave early," Gill replied, his eyes trained onto the stack of papers detailing the exports and imports of Waffle Island for the past season.

Elli sighed and rolled her eyes at him. "You know you're never going to be able to concentrate on your work until after your date, right?"

"It is not a date!" Gill stressed, "I'm just having lunch with my friend."

"Well I guess that's an improvement. Last year you didn't even acknowledge her existence," Elli said truthfully.

A light red tinge appeared on Gill's cheeks briefly before disappearing just as quick. He scowled lightly at her, "let's not get into that."

Gill walked into the Sundae Inn and immediately spotted the brunette. She waved a hand in his direction and he walked over smiling. "Hello Angela, you're right on time. Let's have lunch then."

She ducked her head and nodded. She had spent her whole morning after completing her farm chores around Waffle Town just to make sure she wouldn't be late. Gill pulled out the chair for her and she sat down, blushing slightly.

Gill gave Jake their order and turned to her, his sky blue eyes looking into her amber ones. "I'm glad you're joining me for lunch today, Angela."

She beamed at him and her eyes sparkled. "Well, why did you ask me to lunch today?"

"Y-you're my friend so I thought I'd treat you," Gill replied blushing. Their food arrived and they proceeded to eat while chatting some more.

"So, how is work? Is it going well?" Gill asked as he watched her munching on her food. "Nice going Gill, just ruin the moment and ask her about work, out of all things."

"It's going pretty well, my cow finally matured so now I can milk her," Angela replied happily.

His lips twitched and he smiled, his cheeks lifting up. "I'm glad to hear that. Don't work too hard though."

They continued eating and soon the food on the table disappeared. "Well, we should get going. It's good to get out once in a while. We should do this again soon."

He stood up and walked over to her, pulling the chair out for her. "Thank you Gill," Angela said warmly. "I should get going."

Gill nodded and waved. She waved back before walking out the door.

"How was your date with Angela, Gill?" Elli asked with a laugh.

"It wasn't a date!" Gill exclaimed, an annoyed look on his face as he started on the paperwork.

She giggled and rolled her eyes. "Okay then, how was going to lunch with your friend?"

Gill scowled at her. "Angela's your friend too."

Elli looked at him innocently. "Yeah but I'm not the one that went on a date with her," she said casually.

He ignored her and concentrated on the paperwork but a smile crept onto his face without him knowing. Elli saw and giggled, shaking her head to make sure he wouldn't suspect anything.

Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick took.

Gill alternated his gaze between the clock and the door. Angela was late, later than usual. From what he remembered, she would always come down to the Town Hall around 2pm to visit Elli, and later, him. She would always come, no matter the weather, unless it was Sunday and the Town Hall was closed.

"You're going to burn a hole through the door and break the clock if you keep staring at them," Elli informed with a motherly tone.

He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her, perplexed. "What are you talking about?"

She chuckled and turned her gaze to the clock then door, mimicking him.

"What are you doing, Elli?"

Elli laughed some more and shook her head. "Ah Gill, you don't pay attention much do you?" Gill opened his mouth to speak but Elli interrupted him. "Or do you only pay attention to Angela?"

He gaped at her, eyes and mouth open wide, a faint blush dusting his cheeks. Gill looked down, avoiding Elli's eyes and frowned at the paper, hoping the growing blush would fade.

"I know you're blushing, Gill." He groaned and turned his gaze to her. "Don't glare at me, you know it's true. Just admit it." Elli kept teasing him and the redder his face became.

It was now 4pm and Angela still hadn't shown up at Town Hall. Gill was starting to get nervous and worrisome. His hand tightened around the pen, gripping it. He bit his lip and looked anxiously between the clock and door, again.

"Elli, are you finished with your work?" Gill asked, breaking the silence.

She looked up at him, eyes twinkling. "Yeah, since unlike you, I've been working instead of having a staring contest with the wall and clock."

He sighed and looked back at the door, only proving her point. "Can you... go to Angela's farm and check on her?"

Elli raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a smirk. "Are you worried about her?"

"No, of course I'm not!" Gill replied quickly. "I'm just wondering why she hasn't visited yet."

She nodded her head slowly. "Fine, let me organize the paperwork first."

Gill watched impatiently, his gaze lingering on the clock and door. He was about to ask her if she was ready to leave yet when the door opened and in walked Angela. His body tensed at the sight of her and his eyes widened.

"Good afternoon, Elli, Gill," Angela said, flashing them a weary smile before falling into a chair. She let out a content sigh and tilted her head to her right.

Gill's sky blue eyes watched her entire body, taking in all her actions. Her caramel coloured hair was tied back into a short ponytail; her amber eyes seemed dull in comparison and her arms seemed slightly bruised. He frowned and his eyebrows creased in concern.

Elli noticed this and walked over to her friend, standing next to her. "You okay, Angela?"

She nodded her head and managed a weak smile. "I'm fine, Elli. I'm just a bit tired, that's all."

"What have you been doing?" Gill asked, a frown still hanging on his lips.

Angela looked at him and turned her head away, biting her lip. "Ummm, ah, nothing important, I was doing some mining and I guess I lost track of time," she replied, letting out an awkward laugh.

He looked at her with unblinking eyes and arms crossed his chest. "Where did you get all those bruises from?"

"O-oh, I kind of didn't watch where I was walking andfelldownapitfall," she said quickly, her words blending into one.

Gill grimaced and shook his head. "Angela, you should be careful, especially in the mines. Those are dangerous places!"

Angela sweat-dropped and gave him a tight smile. "You don't have to worry about me, Gill. I'll be careful."

"I-I never said I was worried about you," Gill stammered, a blush growing on his cheeks.

"Good morning Gill," Angela chirped as she walked through the doors of the Town Hall. The blonde haired man glanced up at her from the files he was analyzing. She walked up to the counter and leaned over, so her face was a few metres away from Gill's.

She grinned at him and giggled, watching the muscles in his face tense and relax, depending on the sentence he was reading. The sound of her laughter reached his ears and he looked up due to curiosity.

Gill gasped as he came face to face with the young farmer. Her smile widened and she fluttered her eyelashes jokingly. His mouth was agape and his eyes were fully opened due to shock. A vibrant pink dusted his cheeks and he felt his heart beating fast, pounding against his rib cage.

Angela cocked her head to one side and pursed her lips. "Something wrong Gill?"

She leaned closer to him, their faces almost touching. A hardly visible blush began to form on her face and her amber eyes sparkled.

Gill leaned back, almost falling out of the chair he was perched on. The colour drained out of his face as her eyes looked at him except for the darkening pink. "W-what are you doing?!" he demanded as he steadied himself on the chair.

"I was just watching you work. Did I do something bad?" Angela asked innocently.

He blinked, unable to reply. Gill shook his head and sighed, a smile entertaining his lips.

"You should get out more, Gill. I've never seen you outside of Town Hall before, ah, actually the only time I've seen you anywhere else is during festivals and when you asked me to lunch."

Gill dropped his sliver pen and looked up at her, his sky blue eyes flashing. "What do you want me to do then?" he asked, exasperated.

She smiled. "Stop working all the time and go have some fun!"

"I'm not a child anymore, Angela. Work comes before that and Father won't be happy with me if I don't complete my work." With that said, he turned back to the piece of paper in front of him but the words seemed to dance on the page, unable to settle.

She frowned and looked away, whispering. "Does work come before friends too?"

He looked back up, confused. "Did you say something?"

Angela shook her head and headed toward the door, head drooping. "I-I'll see you later Gill, I'm sorry to bother you while you're trying to work."

Gill stood up abruptly causing the chair he was sitting on to fall to the floor. The noise caused the farmer to turn and she looked at him quizzically. He walked over to her and looked her in the eyes, a small smile blooming on his face. "Are you busy later?"

Her face lit up and she nodded her head energetically. "No I'm not. Are you going to go have some fun with me?"

He laughed at her enthusiasm and smirked. "Maybe I am. Can you meet me at Alan's tree around 1pm?"

"Sure, I'll see you later then. Bye Gill!" Angela replied beaming before walking out the door.

It felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from him. He walked back to his desk and started working away; he had to finish his work before 1pm after all.

Gill mumbled to himself as he quickly left Town Hall, blushing. He could still hear Elli chuckling as he walked out, the sound travelling through the wooden doors. Glancing at his silver wristwatch, he hurried down the steps and through Waffle Town. Swiftly, he breezed through Ganache Mine District and into Brownie Ranch District.

He paused at the entrance of Brownie Ranch to catch his breath and looked up at Alan's tree, hoping he wasn't late. Gill rushed up the hill and stood under the tree, letting the cool windy breeze blow through his blonde hair.

"Sorry for being late, Gill," Angela called out from halfway up the hill. He blinked his eyes at the sound of her voice and walked over, waiting for her to climb up.

She paused at the top of the hill and attempted a smile, her sides heaving. I really need to get more exercise.

Gill stood in front of her, his eyes unblinking and watched her. He offered her a half smile and walked over to Alan's tree. Angela followed him and waited for him to speak. His sky blue eyes looked into hers, his forehead creasing and a small frown forming on his lips.

Angela looked at him confused and furrowed her eyebrows. "Is something wrong Gill? Why did you want me to meet you up here, anyway?"

His head tilted upward, toward the sky. He stuffed his hands into the pocket of his pants, exhaling before looking at her. Curiosity and worry shone in her amber eyes.

"I can't really stop thinking about you..." Gill said softly, his gaze focused intently on her.

She stared back at him, her eyes bulging out of their sockets.

He sighed, averting his gaze. "So, how would you feel about going steady with me? That is, if you don't have feelings for anyone else, I mean."

Gill stared at the ocean in the distance and waited for a response. He heard a sharp intake of air and turned his head slightly to see her blushing madly. His own cheeks were a light tinge of red and his stomach felt uneasy.

"I, ummm, that is, ah, I..." Angela stammered, her face flushed and her eyes wide.

He observed her, waiting for her answer.

"I, ah, I'm delighted, Gill." She flashed him a shy smile and lowered her head. "I, ummm, I feel the same way."

Gill reached up and brushed his hair aside, a smile playing on his lips. "...Hey, good choice. I'm glad you're happy, as well."

She couldn't help but laugh at his response. "Do you want to go have some fun with me now?"

Gill chuckled and nodded his head. "Yeah, let's go." He reached for her hand and pulled her down the hill, both their faces the same colour as his favourite fruit.

"I'm not really sure about this, Gill. I don't think I'm ready."

"I won't pressure you but I'm just saying..."

The brunette laughed nervously and turned to the blonde. "Do you really want this?"

He nodded without hesitation. "Okay fine, let's go talk to Doctor Jin."

"I'm so glad we went through with it," Angela sighed happily as she rested her head on Gill's shoulder.

He turned to her and pecked her check softly. "I'm glad too."

They turned to see their children happily frolicking among the grass, surrounded by animals.

"Do you think we should give them another sibling to play with?" he asked innocently.

Her head snapped up and she whacked his shoulder, hard. "Gill!"
