"You had sex with Ikaris?!" You gaped at Sersi when she had told you about Ikaris's confession and how she too had reciprocated it.

The next day, You and Sersi were going out for a walk after lunch, basking in the warmth of the setting sun.

"Y/N!"

"Right, sorry," you apologized for your raised voice, "But really?" you questioned yet again in disbeleif.

"Yes, Y/N," Sersi nodded, indicating that this wasn't a joke.

"Woah," you murmured to yourself, "Wait till Kingo gets to know about this,"

A group of children hurried towards you and Sersi, handing you both a four-leaved clover. 

"Ah, Sprite's another story," Sersi stated.

"Another one?" you asked Sersi, taking a seat on the gigantic rock nearby.

"About how the four-leaved clover stood for faith, hope, love, and luck," she crossed her arms, standing beside you.

"Oh," you nodded along in understanding.

"By the way," Sersi grimaced lightly, "It was here where me and Ikaris—you know,"

"Ew!" you sprang back up to your feet, "On this rock?"

"Actually up against this rock,"

"Ugh," You cringed at her words, face convulsing with a disturbed look, "Sersi!"

●▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬▬●

You and Sersi were returning back to the Domo with you muttering how disgusting it was to take a walk where Sersi and Ikaris had had sex. Sersi found your reaction hilarious as she mimicked your reactions and laughed to herself.

You both looked up when a shadow fell over you and saw Druig standing in front of you, "Hello ladies,"

"Druig," you greeted him back, confused as to what he was doing here.

Sersi gave you a sly look, "I'll leave you both alone," nodding at Druig, she carried on along her way towards the Domo.

"It's strange," you spoke, "You getting out of the Domo for once,"

"Well, I felt as though I wasn't spending enough time with you," Druig replied, "And Kingo keeps waltzing you away," he scoffed in irritation.

"Jealous, are we?"

"Not the slightest,"

"Sure," you grinned at him, "Is that a dandelion?" you pointed at his hand.

Druig looked down at the plucked part in his hand, "Yeah. Bet Sprite's made a story about this too,"

"If you can blow all the seeds off a dandelion with a single breath, then the person you love will love you back," you explained.

"For real?"

"I don't know, ask Sprite," you shrugged, "Honestly, I don't know how she comes up with these,"

"Well, let's it out then," Druig brought the dandelion close to himself.

His bright blue eyes met yours, and for a moment you felt your heart skip a beat. He blew on the dandelion a bit too hard and the seeds went almost directly into your face, and few landing on your lips. You spat out the seeds and Druig bursts into a fit of laughter. 

"Funny," you deadpanned.

"It was hilarious!" he nodded to himself, trying to control his laughs.

"What did u wish for?" you questioned and you both began to walk side by side.

"You,"

Druig stopped once he realized you've stopped walking and turned to face you.

"Wh—what does that even— what?" you shook your head, trying to piece a coherent sentence together.

Druig smiled softly, taking a step closer to you and placing his hand on your jaw, stroking your cheek softly with his thumb, "It means I wanna take you out for a date,"

The clouds on the sky moved to the side as the sunrays hit the ground brighter than it was previously.

Druig glanced up, "Feeling nervous?"

You just blinked at him, "You—You want to go on a date with me?" you stuttered out, wide eyes locking with his calm ones.

"Many dates in fact, my darling," he smiled, nothing but honestly laced in his reply.

You stared at him in utter disbelief.

"You're always so easy to read," he mused.

Your lips screwed in a pout, "If I was so easy to read, then why'd it take you so long to ask me out, huh?"

"Just wanted to see how long it'd take you to admit and confess it," He answered unbothered, making your jaw drop at his audacity.

"You can go on that date by yourself because I won't be tagging along," you stomped past him, making sure to hit his shoulder with your own as you crossed your arms, "You won't have to worry about not having enough to eat too. Hog all you want, jerk,"

Druig ran forward to keep up with you, "You don't mean that now, do you, my love?" he walked backward, adjacent to you.

"I'm not your love,"

"Then become mine," he replied smoothly, "I'm not gonna complain," 

You felt chills run down your spine as you gulped at the words. The glow of the sun brightened for a fraction of a second before dimming back again. 

"And there it is," he mumbled, his hands tracing your hips as he roped his arms around your middle to hold you back against his front.

"Ugh," you tutted, frustration growing in you as you tried get out of his hold.

"Alright, alright," he conceded hastily, "I apologize,"

You released your arms from the crossed position and rested it on top of his, letting your fingers trace his forearm.

"So, about that date," he whispered into your ear, trailing hopefully.

"I'll think about it," you gave him a sarcastic grin, pushing his hands off yourself as you continued to walk forward and away from him.

But before you could get far enough, his hand wrapped around wrist and you were yanked backward. You yelped when you collided face first into Druig's chest, stumbling to gain balance.

"Jerk," you raised your chin at him, narrowing your gaze.

"Thank you," he mimicked your actions, his teasing smirk never leaving.

You  gritted her teeth and looked away at the setting sun, trying to be mad at him.

Druig used his pointer finger to turn your head and lock eyes with you, "I know you feel the same way I feel about you, Y/N,"

"You read my mind?" you questioned, eyes widening.

"Didn't need to," he shrugged, "I know you like the back of my hand," his hands went around your waist holding you close to himself, "I've waited long enough and I can't wait any longer," he rested his forehead against yours, nudging your nose with his own, "But if you want me to walk away, I will,"

Your breath started to get shallow as you took in your close proximity. Heat rose up to your neck as you noticed his gaze drop to your lips and then back to your eyes, as though silently asking for permission.

You stood on your toes and pressed your lips against his in a soft kiss, which Druig was quick to reciprocate. Your hands made way up his chest and curled around behind his neck while his own cupped your cheeks, pulling you impossibly closer to him.

When you both pulled back for air, the long, passionate kiss turned into several impatient pecks, making you chuckle.

"So?" Druig quirked his eyebrows expectantly.

"I think I could make sure that there's not too much sun tomorrow," Y/N shrugged, trying to hide your smile.

"I'll be waiting for you,"

Maybe Sprite was right about her stories about a four-leaved clover and dandelion.
