Disclaim: I don't own Elsword, just a wandering author who wish to release imagination.
Main Couple: Rm x PO
Pranking Robots
When it came to Nasod, her curiosity rose to a new level. She spent year to create Nasod of her own version and fought their own way. Day by day, she developed them with advanced technology and and El Extractor from Altera to break their capabilities higher, dominating battlefield with destruction.
However, there was one person she couldn't defeat, Elsword Sieghart. From the day she met him, she tried to learn his battle style, especially Rune. All he could do is chanting runes out and a mass destruction hit on her squad. She couldn't predict his move, and instead, he read her and her robots' moves like the back of his hand.
Her purpose was shifted from enhancing her robots to learning the boy's magic, yet there's other thing arise from her heart. Why was she chasing after the boy's magic? Was it for her research? For her robots? Or was it something she couldn't explain?
On one beautiful day in Velder, Elsword was holding his sword and swung upside down while counting on the backyard, his bare upper body revealed. He changed his practice to swinging left to right and reverse.
Behind the window was a pair of deep blue eyes of female machinist staring at Elsword with great interest. She had her camera attached on her glasses to record his daily life and learn his ability. Since she lost to him, Rose had to find her way to defeat him by using a formula for her robots to counter his rune. Her eyes was paying attention to his hard chest that was visible to her, forcing a faint blush on her cheeks.
Elsword stabbed his sword on the ground and focused on gathering his magic in his palms and casted rune in the air, drawing Rose's attention, who was eyeing on the rune. He threw it to the dummy and attached on it before flame emitted on dummy, burning it down.
Rose recorded every scene of it.
"What are you doing, Rose?"
"Kya~"
The Elf Lady startled Rose by tapping her shoulder, earning a yelp. She turned around to face Rena, heartbeat skipping. Rena tilted her head in confusion, seeing Rose blush. She stared through the window to see Elsword doing morning routine and looked back at her before a smirk appeared on her lips.
"Stalking Elsword again?"
"It's not what you think." She denied "I need to learn his magic for my robots."
It would have been more convinced if her face hadn't betrayed her. Rena nodded, though her smirk didn't leave her.
"Right… Tell Elsword if you're done stalking him. Don't let the food get cold."
And that Rena left, leaving a growling Rose. She wasn't a stalker like Add, was she?
She headed to the door leading to the backyard and stepped outside to see Elsword, who used a towel to wipe the sweat on her body. He saw Rose coming and waved his hand with casual greet.
"Yo, Rose."
"Rena told us to have breakfast."
"Ok. Let me have shower first. Wouldn't want my smell fill the kitchen, would 'cha?"
'I want you like this-wait, What Am I Thinking?'
Her mind popped up imagination of half naked Elsword, making Rose flushed in embarrassment. She shook her head to clear her mind before following after Elsword. She waited in the dining room for Elsword along with Rena. The rest of the team were going out for their mission, so it's just three of them at home. She could feel Rena's eyes glaring at her.
Ever since Rose joined the party, Rena spotted her being close to Elsword each day. Most of the time they sparred each other, or sometimes she found her stalking Elsword. That reminded her someone else did the same thing to a certain Nasod Queen for the code. The same could be said to Rose.
The bath door opened, getting attention of the girls as Elsword stepped out with a red shirt having Velder symbol on it and dark blue pants. His red long hair was tied in pony tail and his neck had towel wrapping around. The man took his seat which was beside Rose.
They took the meal in silence.
- Rose's laboratory -
"Ok, let's do this."
She noted the rune down on her notebook and looked at the footage again. She understood a bit of chain runes he casted and time it appeared. Each line was different set of chain runes that appeared in the footage. She forwarded the video and stopped (unintentionally) right at when he grinned at her. A wave of heat hit her face upon seeing him.
"You seem to be fond of this boy here, Rose."
A startling robot voice spoke up behind her.
"Z-Zero? It's not what you think."
"Honestly," the golden ball robot floating to the screen said in annoyance why glaring at the said boy on the monitor "I don't see why you are heed over heel this boy here? He's a womanizer and nothing special."
Bad words from Zero. He found himself before the barrel of the auto-gun, with safety lock off. The room's temparature suddenly went down when Rose's eyes glared at him coldly.
"He's not what you think, Zero."
"O-Oh Alright, put it away." Zero panic. It's his first time seeing Rose acting cold to him.
The woman placed the gun back on the table and let out a sigh. He was right about one thing: Elsword was a womanizer. He was surrounded by many girls in Velder, making her irritated sometimes. Sooner or later, he will get hooked up with one of them. But why was she thinking about him of that? She should mind about upgrading her robots.
Or perhap, she had a thing about him?
She shut the monitor down and went back to her room, ignoring her robots that was staring at her in silence.
"Should we do something to her?" G-0 Battleroid communicated to others.
"I do believe it has to do something with Elsword Sieghart. Why don't we hook her up with him?" G-0 Battleroid suggested.
"Good idea, yet it would be too risky for us if she finds out our presense go missing."
"Tomorrow is Sunday, I don't think she would be in lab to do her research. It's our chance." Mecha Volt MX joined in "Zero, what about you? You join in with us?"
"Agh! I can't believe it all of you!"
The next day…
Rose stepped out of her room, wearing her casual clothes consist of pink sweater and light blue pants. She crossed past her robots which were under sleep. Once she stepped out of her lab, those robots' light turned on.
"Operation commerce."
Back to Rose, she sensed a cold shiver run down her back. She ignored this bad feeling and went to the living room to find Elsword on the couch playing with his runes. She did as usual and turned her camera on the goggles. Just before she could intervene, a doorbell rang. Both turned their head at the door, wondering who would be at this hour. Elsword stood up, having his runes shatters into pieces, and headed to the door.
"Ariel?"
"Good Morning, Mr. Elsword. Cobo Service has a delivery from the Velder Park. Two tickets you booked and have already paid. Please sign in."
"Eh? Since when?"
"Just now."
Elsword was dumbfound what just happened and just signed in. He received the mail and bid farewell to Ariel who left. He returned back and opened it to see two tickets to Velder Park as she spoke.
"Strange, I didn't book them." Elsword muttered in confusion. He knew one thing that the park won't open till 7 PM. He looked at Rose who was staring at the tickets and said "Hey, Rose?"
"Y-Yes?"
"You wanna go to Velder Park?"
"W-Why me?" She was surprised that Elsword asked her out.
"You know, you never hang out with anyone in group and you prefer staying in your lab to going out." A smile appeared on his face "Why not taking this chance to go with me?"
Rose stammered, unable to speak clearly. Part of her wanted to deny and continued researching in her lab, however, other was against it. It was her only chance to be close to Elsword. She shut her lips and nodded.
"Great, we will meet at the park at 7." Elsword grinned.
Somewhere near El Search Party's house. Ariel was sighted near Mecha Vollt who was disguised as a strange man. They both whispered something that couldn't be heard and found Volt's hand giving ED to Ariel. They both parted away.
- Velder Park - 6:58 PM -
We found Elsword leaning on the street light while waiting for certain blond haired machinist. He had a red coat with white hood which was not used and a pair of dark blue pants. Both of his hands were put in the pockets. He may show calm outside, but inside, he was nervous. This morning, he was bold to ask her out. He didn't expect himself to do something like this.
"Elsword."
Hearing his name called, he turned around. There stood the woman wearing white shirt which revealed her left shoulder with words "I 3 Robots", and dark blue pants. He was stunned by her beauty. Rose stood before him, hand on her waist and asked, though she tried to hold back the blush on her face. Thanks to Zero, who acted abnormally, she picked out this clothes for going out.
"How do I look?"
She was waiting for Elsword to say anything about her clothes. Elsword snapped out of his daze and commented, which caught her off guard.
"Beautiful…"
Rose looked away from Elsword to hide her embarrassment face. It was her first time being complimented by a man, Elsword no less. At the same time, her heart was racing fast.
"Thanks, Y-You look great too."
Somewhere near both of them, the same disguised Mecha Volt MX was hiding behind the gate of Velder Park, staring at the couple. On the top of his head was the golden ball-like Zero who was inside Volt's hat. They stepped back and headed to a certain location they prepared for the last step.
"How is it?" G-0 asked.
"Everything's in order."
"Good, let's prepare this one. Ariel has allowed us to participate in. We cannot fail, or Rose will have us dead."
Back to the couple, they began with taking a walk around the park. Elsword use to take the girls in El Search Party to the part except Rose who decided to stay so he knew exact location they were. To Rose, she tried her best to restrain the heat on her face, as it was her first date. Her smile was threatening to appear on her lips.
"Hey, Rose. Let's go with that." Elsword suggested and pulled Rose to Super Roller Coaster.
"Heh? Wait Elsword-"
- 3 minutes later -
"KYAAAAA!"
"YAAAHOOOOO!"
Among the screams, there's the yelling of an exciting magic knight and a terrified gunner who was holding the handle to brace herself.
Once the coaster stopped, Elsword stepped out first and helped Rose 'escaped' her 'nightmare'.
"I can't take it…" Rose moaned, feeling dizzy.
"Come on, Rose. It's just the beginning." Elsword chuckled.
When Rose regained her balance, Elsword held her hand and took her to the next place. Each time Rose played a game, her joy slowly took over her and she had a smile on her face. She began to enjoying her time in the park. They stopped by a small coffee shop to rest a bit. Though they did order 2 ice cream cups, they didn't expect that Ariel, who was serving the shop, placed a large cup of ice cream on their table, earning shocked looks from them. Ariel said today is special day for couple that Rose blushed a bit.
"Well, that can't be help."
In the end, they shared the same cup. During that time, Elsword noticed some cream on her cheek. He reached his hand and wiped the cream off of her cheek before he licked it off his finger. To Elsword, it was just cleaning, but to Rose, it's an indirect kiss on her cheek. This made her redder.
"A-Anyway, let's go. You said you still have one place left to show me." Rose changed the subject and said.
"Ah right, i'm sure you will like this one."
…
…
…
"What!?"
Yup, a ghost house. Elsword took her to the last place she didn't expect, yet she didn't like it. It's a popular place where everyone admitted scariest place.
"Oh no, Elsword…"
"Come on, Rose. There's nothing too much for you, or are you a scared cat?"
Upon being challenged, Rose retorted.
"Like if I'm scared!"
But that was a regret decision she made. Screams of horrified girl echoed the house. Even though ghosts are not real, she's still scared that made Add or Aisha proud... or shame...
"Oh, come on, Rose. They're not that scary."
"They are…"
Her shaky hands was holding Elsword's arm while proceeding forward. They couldn't see in the dark except the red arrow which was designed perfectly that it looked like stained in blood.
Once they walked past the arrow, a pumpkin with face carved jumped down and scared Rose. It growled lowly with strange sound like machine and shining blue like, yet it's still good to scare Rose. This time, she clung onto his arm, which was sandwiched between her chest. Elsword's face was red but thankfully hidden by the darkness.
The more they walked forward, the scarier it was. However, most of them were aiming at Rose. Elsword felt bad for her because she became a target for the staffs to scare her.
"Rose, there's the exit."
"Finally, I can't take it anymore!"
She attempted to run to the exit, but she was blocked by a man in black suit. She wanted to yell at him, however, was paused when she saw nothing on his face, no nose, no eyes, no mouth. His face was empty. To make it worse, multiple black tentacles came out from the man's back and slowly reached to Rose.
"K…K….Kyaaa!"
"Rose-Ouff!"
Rose ran away and crashed on Elsword who was standing near the exit. They rolled out the house and stopped at the small grass field. Both groaned in pain. The girl opened her eyes to see Elsword's face really close to Elsword and a soft sensation on her lips. Her mind was processing to realize their position: She was on top of him and had her lips kissing on his. She quickly detached her lips away from his and got up, covering her mouth, face redder as tomato.
"Mistress! You Alright-"
Following after that were the shouts of familiar robots and paused when they saw their master on top of Elsword. Of course Rose snapped out of her embarassment and looked back to see them in scary costume. G-2 was floating in the pumpkin, which let out a blue light through the carved face. G-0 was wrapped in white bandage that made it look like a big mummy. Zero was acting as floating golden flame and the faceless man in black was Mecha Volt MX. She then realized why most of ghosts were scaring here. Filled with anger and embarassment, she took out auto-gun on her and attempted to shoot them, thus freaking them out.
One she had done beating them, she teleported them back to the lab and returned to Elsword who was dumbfound by her odd act. Her face's still red from anger… or shy….
"Let's go home, Elsword."
"You got some nerve to scare me, and you you joined them too. I'm disappointed in you, Zero."
Rose stood before her own force and tapped her foot. She's already fixed them and placed them in the hanger while disabling their mobile ability.
"H-Hey, Rose. It's misunderstanding. We just…"
"No excuse, Zero. You just are guilty as others and ruined my date." She cut his words and fumed at him "I hope you will think what you have done to my day."
She turned around and shut the door behind her.
"… Well, it's not bad as we expected." Mecha Volt MX muttered through connection.
Rose laid down on the bed and rest while thinking what had happened tonight. She reached her hand on her lips and stroke it a bit. The memories of her robots scaring her out and her clinging on Elsword's arm and the accident kiss. It's too much for her for today.
But it didn't mean she didn't like it.
Yuu: Update for another Els x Rose for Mr. X. On the way to face mid-term exam over here so it could be a problem to update Elsword.
