Cuphead set his tea down, feeling like his heart was about to explode. He knew an eruption of emotions were about to be unleashed, and he was going to say some unrefined thoughts. "Hilda….no...I…" The young woman continued to look down, accepting her misguided interpretation of herself. After a few moments, he couldn't hold it in anymore, and stood up from his seat. "Hilda, I'm not wasting my time! Far from it! I absolutely adore sitting here and talking to you. It fills my heart with something I've never felt before. And no you're not boring; the night sky is a wonderful thing to study. It's beautiful, but not nearly as much as you! Every since I fought you that dreaded day, I thought you were the prettiest woman I have ever seen! And I still do! I know I don't know you that well, but my heart begs for the chance to truly know you. I just….I just…." Cuphead was on the brink of tears, and Hilda was looking at him with an adoring stare. "I don't want you to be sad. I look at you, and I just want you to be happy. I don't know how to explain it…." Cuphead sat back down, feeling utterly defeated, and avoided eye contact with her. Silence ensued for what felt like eternity, until she broke it. "Cuphead, I'm truly baffled. Never in a thousand years did I think someone like you would enter my life so abruptly. I'm so blessed to have you here. It's like an answered prayer." The cup looked up her, face still deep red as she continued. "You are truly the sweetest guy I've ever had the pleasure to meet. You are kind, generous, considerate, caring…the list goes on. While I've only known you for a short time, these three days have lifted me up from a dark place. I feel like I've meet someone I can truly get to know and spend day time with. I have a deep desire to get to know you as well my friend. I thank you for that." As Hilda smiled so warmly, with a blushing face, they stared deeply into each others eyes. Cuphead felt like he had just won the lottery. "Well Hilda, if the feeling is mutual, then let's get started." The two began to chat as they finished up their tea, discussing recent events and personal hobbies. Somehow, the topic shifted to chess, which the two both had a deep fondness for. Hilda pulled out her board, and they began to play a few rounds. Both had showed their competitive side, and while verbal skirmishes did occur, there were no hard feelings, and it was all in good fun. After a few good rounds, they drew their attention back on getting to know each other better. They talked for hours, discussing their love of music and described personal anecdotes that helped ease the tension between the two. As the afternoon turned to evening, the two decided to once more sit up atop the Isle's highest hill to enjoy the sunset together. This time, however, was not spent with small talk, but with deep and emotional discussion about the joy that the day had brought them. Hilda smirked and looked deep into Cuphead's eyes, her own gleaming with passion and admiration. "Well, you've done it. You single handedly made my day. This is truly the best I've felt in a long time. You're a sweetheart, you know that?" Cuphead blushed and smiled as Hilda complimented him. "Ah gee wiz Hilda, I appreciate that. You've filled my heart with so much joy; I'm the luckiest Cup I'm the world!" Hilda simply blushed and smirked and moved closer to her new friend. As they watched the most beautiful sight in nature, Hilda slipped her hand underneath his, and the two locked their palms simultaneously, indulging in the amazing day they have just shared. Cuphead was rather startled when Hilda began to hold his hand, but was instantly satisfied, knowing that their bond was already much stronger than he ever thought was possible. When the sun finally set, the two sat there for a while refusing to lose their hand lock and accept that the day was over. "Well Hilda, I really must be going… Thank you again for such an amazing day!" The two got up, with Hilda presenting a stern and serious look. "Cuphead, would you be willing to see me again, tomorrow and maybe even the next day?" She grabbed both his hands gently and locked them with hers once more. Cuphead just smiled. "Of course Hilda. I'll come around as much as I can, as long as you'll have me…" She smiled, "Absolutely." Hilda and Cuphead pulled each other into a hug, and parted ways, desperately wanting to spend more time with their future loved one.
