Cuphead arrived at his love's observatory, flowers in hand, anxiously waiting to see her beautiful face once more. Once he knocked on the door, he could feel the butterflies arrive in his stomach; he really couldn't keep his excitement contained. When the door opened he was greeted by his significant other, who seemed rather shocked. "Oh Cuphead, you're here earlier than I expected! Please come in!" Hilda seemed rather bombastic, eager to see her new boyfriend. Cuphead laughed as he was ushered in. "Thanks for having me over again. I brought you these flowers!" Hilda blushed when she received the gift. "Awe, thanks honey. They're beautiful." She pulled him into a hug, which he happily returned. "Let me get these in a vase. Please, make yourself at home! The living room is just around the corner. I'll be in one second." Cuphead simply smiled and headed to the living room. He sat on the couch and observed the elegantly decorated room, with a few pictures of Hilda and some older woman, presumably her grandmother. Hilda came in soon and sat down next to him. Cuphead scooted over and leaned his head on her shoulder and held her hand. Hilda giggled and relaxed, loving the cute gestures Cuphead always gave her. The young man became a little nervous as always. "Thanks for having me over again. I'm sorry if I'm taking up your time. I can go whenever…." Hilda instantly shut him down. "Oh Cuphead, stop! I wouldn't exchange this for anything. I love having you around." Cuphead sighed a breath of relief. "Thanks Hilda." The young woman kissed him on the cheek, making him blush. "Aw geez. I love when you do that." Without even thinking Hilda then pulled him into a passionate kiss. Hilda grinned mischievously. "And I love when we do that." The two gazed into eachothers eyes, getting lost in there love. Cuphead grabbed both of her hands, holding them tightly, his facing turning very serious in composition. "Hilda, I promise, I will do my best as your partner to make you happy. If you ever need anything, never hesitate to ask. I love you, and I will do anything to make you happy." Hilda responded with a stern look herself. "And I promise to do the same. I love you too!" The two mutually shook their heads, glad to be on the same page. Hilda was the first to speak. "Actually I do have one request, if you wouldn't mind…." Cuphead's face returned to its serious tone. "Anything!" Hilda blushed while tipping her head, breaking eye contact. " Could we snuggle for a little…?" Cuphead felt his face warm, and smirked. "Of course." Cuphead leaned back, putting his back against the arm of the couch as Hilda laid her head on his chest. The young man wrapped his arm around her, pulling her gently toward him. When the couple got situated, Cuphead reached over and began playing with her hair. She giggled before beginning to speak. "Cups, I never thought I would be lucky enough to be in your arms." Cuphead looked down at her. "I never thought I'd be lucky enough to have you in my arms." Hilda face and grasp stiffened as she pushed herself up to the point where she was looking down at him. "Why do you love me?" Hilda had a stern look on her face, as his went from as nervous glare to as somber look. "Hilda, before I met you I was in a dark place. I felt so alone, so lost in a world that I just helped to save. I didn't have that connection to a person like I have with you. I wanted to meet someone who appreciated me for who I was; who looked at me as more than just a hero. Then I went up on that hill and saw you, and when we talked, I knew we were in the same boat. Little did I know that I would find my true love that day." Cuphead began to blush as he reached up and began to caress her check. Hilda stern glare became a sympathetic look as he continued. "The more and more we spent time together, the stronger and stronger my feelings got towards you. I met a woman who was modest, passionate, caring, and beautiful. I loved you from the start I guess. I just couldn't understand it at the time." Cuphead retracted his loving touch and turned his head, breaking eye contact, beginning to look extremely depressed. "I've never felt this way about about a person before. It's an amazing feeling, and I wouldn't never change how I feel. I hope I didn't make you question my motives, it all happened so fast. I really hope you can forgive me for not making my love for you clearer. I'm sorry Hilda…" Cuphead hung his head in shame, knowing he hadn't been as open as he had hoped. Before long, he heard Hilda begin to sniffle as he felt water hitting his face. He turned back to see her looking down at him, eyes full of tears. "Oh Cuphead…." She buried her head in his chest as she sobbed. He wrapped his arms around her comforting her, beginning to cry himself. "I'm sorry Hilda, I didn't mean to upset you. I'm so sorry…." Hilda pulled her head to the side attempting to get her words out. "No. Don't be. I am the one that should be sorry.What you said was beautiful, it meant the world to me. I didn't mean to come of as brash, I know you would never hurt me. I just wanted to know how you could love someone like me; an ugly, stupid, over emotional…." Cuphead cut her off. "Hilda, you stop that right now. You are amazing. None of that is true. You are everything I've ever wanted in a woman." Hilda calmed down a little, still crying however. "Cups, the day we met on top of that hill changed my life. I found someone who genuinely was concerned for my well being, someone who was kind enough to compliment me and who wanted to get to know me. I never, in a thousand years, would think I could meet such a handsome, caring, and kind individual with a heart of gold, let alone have him love me. Yesterday, before you told me how you felt, I decided I wasn't ever going to tell you that I liked liked you in that way. I couldn't bear getting rejected. But now, everything is different now. I want to kiss you, cuddle with you and hug you as much as I can. I absolutely love you Cups. Nothing can change that……...I love you so much." Cuphead whimpered as he continued to cry. "Hilda, I love you too. I love you with all my heart. I can't live without you. You are my everything. Oh my god….I love you so much." Without thinking, Hilda pulled him into a deep and powerful kiss as they both continued to weep. After a few more, both of them calmed down, engrossing themselves in the kiss they were sharing. As they broke apart, the two gazed into each other's eyes, formulating what they were about to say. Hilda spoke first. "I'm sorry to get so emotional, it's just still hard for me to believe." Hilda face turned cherry red as she retracted her gaze. Cuphead spoke calmly, truly concerned for his love. "Why Hilda?" Hilda hung her head bashfully. "Because you are so amazing. I can't believe you could love me." Cuphead sat up and spoke up a bit. "But I do love you. I swear I do!" Hilda looked him with shame. "I know you do, you just proved it me. I'm just in so much shock…" Cuphead nodded in agreement. "I am too. I know you love me, but I'm still shaken up. Our emotions are still raw. We just need sometime. I'm just lucky to have you." Hilda placed her head back back on his chest. "You are right. I'm lucky to have you too." The two repositioned themselves like they had been before. They sat in a silence for a while, enjoying each other's company, reflecting on and appreciating the bond they had created.
