The two remained silent for the next few minutes, desperately attempting to think of something to say; both of them hoping to change the mood. Neither of them could think of anything, so they both decided to just talk with one another. Cuphead continued to play with her hair. "Hilda, why do you keep your hair short?" Hilda perked up, trying to settle on an answer. "Honestly Cups, I don't know. I just always have. I guess it is a habit now." The young man shrugged. "I was just wondering. I think it suits you." Hilda strengthen her grasp around him. "Thanks Cups." Hilda decided to ask a question of her own. "Hey, have you ever wanted to learn how to play an instrument? I know I have." Cuphead paused, taking a moment to think. "Not really. I'm content with only playing upright bass and piano." Hilda head shot up, her eyes full of wonder. "You can play both; upright bass and piano? Oh my god! That's so cool! You have to play for me sometime!" Cuphead smiled when he saw Hilda's excitement. "Anything for you Hilda." The young woman rested her head back on his chest. "You're the best Cups." He blushed a little, smirking a little. "No. You are the best." Hilda raised and eyebrow and grinned. "I won't argue with that." Both of them began to laugh, realizing the tension had finally vanished. An idea popped into Cuphead's mind. "Hey, wanna talk a walk into town?" Hilda sat up. "Sounds like a good time to me. Let's get going. I just need to grab my purse!" The two walked outside, and before long, their hands were locked together. They walked along a windy path, traversing there home island and observing the beauty it had to offer. "Sure is a beautiful day, huh Cups?" Cuphead looked up at his significant other with a puzzled look. "I've been meaning to ask, why do you always call me Cups?" Hilda giggled and played with his straw on the top of his head. "Cause a cutie like you needs a cute nickname." He blushed as she toyed with him. "Fair enough." The two continued across the bridge and into the 2nd isle of Inkwell. Hilda felt a wave of nostalgia come over her as they passed by the carnival. "Cups, we need to head down here together one time. I came here all the time as all kid." Cuphead remembered all the good times he had with Mugman when they were children; all the cotton candy they could eat as well as all the prizes from those games they use to play. "You bet. I loved this place when I was younger." They followed the path to the next isle into town. They both decided that they wanted to grab a bite to eat at a local diner. "Have you been here before?" Cuphead nodded. "I use to to go here with my brother all the time. It has some great stuff." They walked in and settled down at one of the booths. Within seconds they were greeted by a waitress, a taller and more muscular woman. "And what can can I get for you too love birds this afternoon?" Hilda browsed the menu, loving the idea that the two were madly in love with one another; she always wanted someone to love. "Hmm, I guess I'll take the grilled chicken with a baked potato as a side." The waitress wrote down her order, and then looked at Cuphead. "And what can I get for you Mr. Hero?" The young man laughed as he decided on his dish. "I'll take the wedding soup please. I haven't had that stuff in ages." The waitress wrote down his order, beginning to chuckle a bit. "Well, if the nice Miss here keeps looking at you in that way, I bet you'll be having it again real soon!" She walked off leaving Hilda red with embarrassment. She thought about how much she would stare at him, but she couldn't help it. He was just a good looking guy. Cuphead turned to see her blushing, and when they made eye contact, his face was cherry red as well and smiled. "Hilda, I wouldn't take that as an insult. She was just teasing us. Honestly, I think it is sweet that you look at me like that." He reached out across the table, signaling for her to hold his hand. She locked grips with him and smiled. "Cups, you always know how to make me feel better." The partners talked for awhile, until their food arrived, which they promptly enjoyed. After finishing up, the waitress came by and left them their receipt. "Just leave the cash on the table. Have a good day now." Hilda began reaching for her purse, but Cuphead instantly stopped her. "No way Hilda, I'll pay for it." Hilda looked at him with frustration. "Are you sure? We can split it." He shook his head as he placed the money on the table. "Yes, I am absolutely sure. I got this." Hilda smirked at the mind gesture. She knew Cuphead was going to be a great boyfriend, being the kind hearted guy that he was. They got up and walked out of the diner, both satisfied with lunch. "Well that hit the spot. Where to to next?" She looked around not noticing anything in particular. "I don't know. Do you wanna just take a walk?" He grabbed her hand. "I'm fine with that." The two walked around, scooping out the place to find more ideas on where to go in the future. Cuphead gazed at the ocean, admiring it's beauty. "We should definitely head to the beach one day. That would be so relaxing." Hilda loved the idea. "That would be fun. Also, we should see when the theater is hosting a play. That would would be an interesting way to spend an evening." After some time of walking, they decided to head back to Hilda's place for the evening. When they arrived, Cuphead began to realize how much they were able to do. "Wow, we have a lot to do together huh?" Hilda blushed when the ideas entered her mind. "Oh yes we do. Plays, restaurants, days at the beach….it's going to be great." Once they headed inside, she began to heat up some water. "I'll make some tea for us. Take a seat on the coach if you'd like." Cuphead nodded and headed to sit down. He sat back comfortably, reflecting on the day he had with his love. He was finally content with a person who loved him; it was truly a phenomenal feeling. Hilda came in with a cup full of tea for him. "Two scoops of sugar, just the way you like it." She handed him the beverage, which he began to sip haphazardly. "Thanks hon." As they sat there sipping at their drinks, Hilda began to formulate different scenarios in her head, thinking about the wonderful times they have ahead of them. Cuphead noticed her distant look and was a little confused. "You ok?" Hilda turned to him and broke from her trance. "Oh yeah, I'm great. I am just thinking about us that's all." Cuphead began to worry a little bit. "What about us?" Hilda sat back and relaxed. "Everything Cups. Everything. We have so much ahead of ourselves. So many dates to go on, so many places to go. It's just a great feeling knowing I am going to start living a life where we can be happy, and we can both enjoy each others company. It's amazing. Truly amazing." Cuphead finished up his tea as she finished her thoughts and he scooted closer to her. "It is amazing. And without you, I don't think I could be happy. He laid his head on her shoulder. "I couldn't be truly happy without you either Cups." She kissed him on his check, and the two enjoyed the rest of there afternoon together, finishing it all of with watching the sunset, where they had fallen for one another in the first place. The two could not be more happy, but soon, they would be even happier.
