(Wilford's POV)

     It happened! Everything is finally turning for the better! My ship sailed AND I get to interview a beautiful lady, can my fucking day get any better?!

    "Why are you smiling like an idiot?" I hear Mel pipe up from beside me. I turn to her, grinning even wider. "Okay, now it's just creepy." I couldn't stop myself from laughing. I continued to lead the way to... actually, I had no idea where I was going. I stopped walking and ignored the confused look Mel was giving me, though it was very difficult. I hadn't planned very much when Mad and I made our deal, so I wasn't sure where I was going to hold my interview.

      "Oh hey Mel, hey War..." Mark said smiling before he put two and two together. I swear, he is not my mortal at times. "Wait uhm.. I mean..." He stuttered trying to come up with a lie to explain my existence.

     "She knows, chill," I say quickly. Geez, and people say I'M the awkward one. I roll my eyes as I smile again. "I'm actually about to interview her." Mark paled greatly as I said this and glances at Mel in worry.

      "He promised not to kill me, so don't worry," she said smiling at him. I chuckled at her comment and also blushed a bit. Her smile was so warm and beautiful, I would kill anything that tried to take it away! Bro, chill. You're turning creepy. I heard my older brother state in my mind. Was I being creepy?

     "Uh huh... Promise?" He stares directly at me, I drop my joking tone as I stare right back at him. Brown to pink, odd combination but oh well.

    "I promise I will cause her no harm in any format. I would never dream of hurting her no matter the case," I state clearly so he knows I'm not joking what so ever. Mark nodded in response.

    "Well, I'm trying to find Jack, who's hiding from me for whatever reason, so I'll leave you two alone now." And he walked off. I stood there, trying to think of where to do this interview so we wouldn't be interrupted. As I thought, I saw Mel lean against the wall and look down at the floor. Oh no, she's getting bored, I need a place now!

    "Would you like to have our interview inside or out?" I ask quickly, attempting to hide how nervous I am. Dammit, why couldn't I have inherited the smooth genes and not the fucking awkward bullshit?! "I mean, we could have it in my room or somewhere in the house or by the beach or the cliff or out in the garden if you wished." I smiled kindly though I have a feeling it came off as more awkward and dorky looking instead. Fuck my existence right now, please and thank you. She looked up at me a cocked her head to the side a bit.

    "Uhh, the cliff sounds nice," She said, shrugging. Then she just stood there staring at me, and it took a second to remember that she has no idea where she is going and that I have to lead her there.

    "Right, uh, sorry, the door's this way," I said as I mentally cursed myself. I heard a light chuckle from behind me, and it took all of my willpower not to go into her mind and see what she was thinking. Hell, give me strength not to fuck this up! "D-do you mind if I c-carry you there? It's a bit of a walk and I know a shortcut..." FUCK ME AND MY DAMN STUTTERING! I mentally sigh, being very grateful she can't hear my train of thoughts. Maybe she can~ I mentally growl at my brother, cursing him out. ANTI! I screamed throughout the mental links. I got 'em, go have fun and I'll keep him quiet~ Have fun, lover boy~! The benefits of being really good friends with your brother's boyfriend. Huh, wonder how people get to say that nowadays.

    "I... uh... Sure?" I heard Mel's voice slice through my thoughts. I smiled and walked over to her picking her up bridal style. As I did she let out a little yelp of surprise, I found myself blushing again. I quickly turned my head aside so she wouldn't see it.

    "H-hold tight, okay?" I asked her still a bit nervous. I felt really good to hold her but I wasn't gonna mention that factor right now... I turn back and smile sweetly at her, waiting to know when she was comfortable and ready.

    "Okay," She said, wrapping her arms around me. I swear she knows I like her. She's doing this to torture me. I shake my head to get rid of another, redder blush. Holding onto her tightly, I begin flashing off towards the cliff. Normally it would've taken a good thirty minutes to an hour to arrive there on foot but hey when you're a demon and can do cool demon shit to impress your crush. I chuckle at my own thoughts as we arrive at the cliff.

    "How close to the edge would you like to sit, beautiful~?" I ask sweetly as I set her on her feet and reluctantly release her from my hold. The sun was at its peak in the sky, and would probably start falling at any moment, a stunning sight to see no matter the time of day from this point of view. Though the sun will never compare to your natural beauty, Melanie~ No matter how hard Mother Nature tries, the most stunning and amazing sight in my eyes will always be you and your smile~ Why didn't I say THAT aloud? Because I'm an awkward idiot? If you guessed that then yeah you're right and fuck off... I watched as Mel stared out over the cliff and beyond. Almost as if in a trance, she walked right up to the edge and sat with her legs dangling over the side. I moved to sit next to her, however, I stayed a bit farther from the edge.

    "Are you okay, Mel?" I ask softly, scared of disturbing her in a poor manner. She seemed a bit out of it but then again, I could be looking too deeply into this... Again...

    "Yeah, I'm fine.." she then shook her head and laughed a bit. "Sorry if I seemed a bit out of it just now. The view is so pretty, I kinda forgot what I was doing." I watched as she blushed in embarrassment. I smile a bit and brush her hair out of her eyes, hoping it comes off in a friendly manner.

    "It's okay, sometimes you just get caught up in such a breathtaking view, it's hard to remember what you were doing in the first place." Wow, I was actually fucking smooth for once. Two points of smooth, 3,345 points for being awkward and creepy. It's a start at least. Her blush just got deeper, and she looked away from me, but I wasn't upset because I also caught sight of a small smile on her lips.

    "So uh, are we gonna start the interview?" She asked somewhat quietly. It almost seemed like she didn't want to break the tranquility of the moment. Neither did I, but if this interview was to happen, then it needed to be done.

    "Of course!" I turn to her and stop, I didn't even know what to ask her. Start with the basics. "So Mel, where are you from?" Lame question but the starters are always the more, need-to-know basic information.

    "I've lived near the city my whole life. I live in it now," She said simply. I smiled at her as I looked up, seeing that the view still had her somewhat distracted. I make a notepad and pink, purple pen appear. Just because my favorite color is pink, doesn't mean EVERYTHING has to be only pink. I jot down her answer before continuing on.

    "How young are?" It's rude to ask how old someone is, ya know? "Is there anything specific you would want share?" I ask airly as the wind picked up a bit, blowing her cocoa curls all around her. If I could save an image of her, this would be one for the memories. She looked absolutely stunning and she wasn't even trying to.

    "I'm 23," she stated simply, finally turning to look at me. Her eyes glowed in the light, and I found myself trying to figure out whether they were blue or green. "And I don't know, actually I have a question. Why don't you speak in your funny voice like you do in Mark's videos?" I gaze at her confused for a few moments, before remembering the way Mark always made me speak when recording me. It had been a while since I used that voice. I blush a bit before answering, it's only fair.

    "I mainly use that voice when I've lost my mind and not in a good way. That and I knew Dark would be the one to scare the kids, I wanted to scare them but also make them laugh you know?" My smile returns as I remember the first time I appeared on Mark's channel. "I can use that voice whenever if you'd like to hear it though," I turn to her smiling softly. Though I haven't used it in a long time, I still knew how to find it again. Just think of the videos, the kids... And stay away from the negative memories.

     "Can you? Please? The videos you and Mark spoke like that were always my favorite." I looked up at her and saw a small blush on her face before she turned her face downcast. I guess she didn't want me to see it, which I didn't understand since it was adorable. I cleared my throats before smiling at her widely.

    "WeLl AnYtHiNg FoR mY bEaUtIfUl GuEsT! AnD mAy I sAy ThAt YoU aRe My MoSt StUnNiNg GuEsT eVeR!" I say in my video voice, hoping it would impress her. All I wanted to do was make her smile and feel happy. Is this what... Love? That's the word right..? Is that what it feels likes...? I smiled as she giggled happily and blushed again, not turning away from me this time.

    "This voice is much more difficult to understand," she said. I watched as she scooted back from the edge a bit, moving closer to me. She then looked out over the drop-off and out to the water below. "Have any of you ever gone cliff jumping from here?" she asked, seemingly more confident despite the slowly fading blush on her cheeks. I didn't want the beautiful red color to leave her face, I had to bring it back somehow.

    "NoT rEaLlY..." Not in the way you're talking about... "I'd rather just sit here and stare at the sight for a long as I can. It's always been stunning yet I haven't seen it be this beautiful before now," my normal voice returning as I continue to glance at her. A smile growing brighter with each word said to her. Unfortunately, she turned away from me, so I couldn't tell if I had made her blush again.

    "Well," She said quietly as if speaking any louder would ruin the moment, which in my opinion, it would. "Do you have any more questions for me?"

    "If you could have the most perfect day, what would it involved?" I whispered sweetly as I grab her hand gently, hoping she'd look back at me again. She jumped a bit when I touched her, which cause me to quickly retract my hand. I felt terrible for startling her. I watched as she looked down at her hand, then at mine.

    "I'm not sure," she said, looking up at me. "I guess just spending the day with people I care about. What we do would honestly depend on my mood that day."

    "Oh, Uhm..." I didn't know what to say. I probably just fucked everything up... I scooted away and stared over the edge again. My mind slipped into the past, the last time I had been at this cliff. The event that almost happened had Dark not felt my energy and stopped me. Maybe this would be my time...

    "Hey, Wilford? You okay?" Her voice seemed distant as I zoned out. I closed my eyes and took a deep, shaky breath. I can't do anything, not now. "Wil?" My eyes shot open and trained downwards to where my her hand was on top of mine, squeezing it gently. Somehow she had gotten closer to me without me realizing. Her hand was so soft, I never wanted to let go of it. "Wil, what just happened? You zoned out for a bit.." I couldn't tell her what was going on in my fucked up mind. But what should I say?

    "I... I..." I had nothing. I didn't want to lie to her but I felt like this would just drive her away. My breathing grew heavier as the worst case scenarios planned in my head. Not now.. Why now?! I tried calming myself but I couldn't focus on anything except the fall into the water below. Deep enough I couldn't die on impact but I can't sleep either so I'd pass out and drown. Just one slip, just one bad move and I'm gone... I felt myself curl up in a ball, and I started to hyperventilate. No, why am I having a panic attack now of all times!? Everything I was normally able to do to calm myself seemed to make it worse. I squeezed my eyes shut and put my head in my hands. I felt like I was about to pass out from lack of oxygen when I felt a hand press into my back. I leaned into the touch, and I felt the person start to rub my back gently.

    "Wilford, listen to me. Try to take a deep breath, okay?" I was so disoriented that I couldn't even recognize the voice, though I felt like I should. I obliged, though I found it very difficult to bring air into my lungs. Whoever was next to me was helping more than they knew. The only person who had even come close to calming me like this was Dark. My brother had shown a softer side I rarely saw growing up.

    "I... can't..." I barely pant out. Though it wasn't the worst one to happen, it was in the list of top three. Nothing was working except this person's touch, I don't even think my brother would be able to help me right now. Just this one person... Whoever they were... I couldn't even see them right now and yet I felt safe.

    "I know it's hard, but it's going to help," They spoke a soft, calm voice to me, which I found very helpful in calming myself. I felt them take one of my hands in their's as their other hand continued to rub my back. They way they acted led me to believe they had been in this situation before. I closed my eyes and used their touch to ground myself to reality and not get lost in my thoughts again. As time went on, it became progressively easier to breathe, which I was very thankful for. Once I was calm enough to speak and see again, my brain stopped realizing it had been Mel the whole time.

     "T-thank you," I say breathlessly as a strong blush hits me. "I'm sorry you had to see that part of me... I'm usually better at calming myself on my own..." I give a weak chuckle with a weaker smile. Totally impressive, you idiot... I insult myself yet again.

     "It's fine," She responded in a hushed tone. "I know how difficult it can be sometimes, I used to get panic attacks when I was younger. I figured out a few ways to stop them before they start. I can help you if you'd like."

    "I'd... I'd like that," I smile gently as I squeezed her hand. I blush only to realize her hands were still on me. Is it too soon to say just how much she means to me... Would she run away? Maybe I could show her something.. "Would you like to see something amazing?" She looked at me confused before a huge smile grew on her face.

    "I don't see why not." She stood and pulled me to my feet, not once letting go of my hand. "Show me!" I smile widely, hoping this would make up for my panic attack.

    "Now, you have to trust me okay? This is gonna be weird but you just... You just gotta trust me. I promise it's painless," I smile shyly. I've never really shown anyone besides my brothers and Mad this. I honestly REALLY excited to show Mel though. She just shrugged and nodded, squeezing my hand gently.

     "I trust you." My smile widens as I slowly place my free hand on her forehead and close my eyes. I begin imaging all the words I would say but making sure they were subtle. I showed her different times of my life and expressed as much emotion as I could for her to see who I really was. Only bits and pieces of my life though, unless she wanted to sit here overnight going through my story. Then again, I wouldn't mind that at all.

     "Wilford..." I pulled my hand away from her head, stopping the flow of memories. "How..?" She was clearly confused, and at first, I thought that the purpose of me showing her all that hadn't gotten through. But when I opened my eyes and saw her, that beautiful, warm smile and adorable blush was back. When I looked into her eyes, I saw so many emotions warring inside them, but one seems to overpower the rest. It was warm and comforting, and for a while we just stood there, her gorgeous, ever-changing eyes staring back into my pink ones. Eventually, she broke her gaze away first, a deeper blush taking over her cheeks. It seemed as though Mel wanted to say more, but didn't know how.

     "If you want to say something but don't know how to say it... I... Uhm... I can try and read your thoughts... I-I don't know if it'll work... It mainly w-works for family, certain rankings and..." A deep blush covers my cheeks as the last thought comes into my mind, I don't know if I could say it aloud without being a mess honestly.

    "I um, I don't know, it's not something I really feel comfortable sharing is the problem.." she looked down sheepishly as if trying to hide her embarrassment. I wish she had said yes, I wanted desperately to know what was going on in that beautiful mind of hers. But I wasn't going to invade her privacy, so I had to respect her choice.

    "It's okay, I understand," I smile kindly though something felt off. I thought this would help her understand me a bit more... "Do you have any more questions for me?" I didn't want this to end, hopefully, she didn't either. I'd answer anything she'd ask right now just to keep hearing her voice, it was a melody I loved already. She seemed to search for mind for something to ask but looked sad as she came up with nothing. She shook her head reluctantly, then looked up at me, her eyes meeting mine once more. "Uhm... Wanna stay another night?" I chuckled weakly, seeing I had nothing else to ask honestly.

     "If I can," she responded in a hushed tone. "It's nice here." She said, giving me a small smile. My heart picked back up as I nodded rapidly, probably looking like an eager puppy that's ready for their daily walk or something. I really need help on being smooth...

     "I know Jean won't mind! Especially since we don't have to play hide-&-seek with everyone now!" I exclaim, the smile on my lips never ceasing as my heart pounded in my chest.

     "Let's go back to the house," she said happily. I smile widely and start walking towards the house with her beside me. Up until this moment, I had forgotten that she was holding my hand, and it made me blush deeply. I didn't dare say anything, however, because I feared to do anything that would make her let go.

    "Do... Do you want a ride back..?" I whisper gently as I stared at the ground, my blush turning my whole face red. Her hand felt soft and warm, I started to wonder if that's how she just felt completely... My face reddens even more as thoughts flew through my mind, yup... Really fucked me over tonight... she chuckled lightly at my actions before speaking.

    "Are you gonna carry me again?" She asked, her words tangled in with a slight laugh. I smile sheepishly as I shrug.

     "Only if you'd like me to. I don't mind it at all," I spill out before realizing what I was saying. "I... I mean... Fuck..." I whisper under my breath. She giggles slightly at my flustered actions.

      "I didn't mind it," she said, shrugging. I glance at her, still flustered but smiling widely. I was about to lift her up into my arms when I got a better idea.

     "Would you like a piggyback ride?" I ask curiously. I heard that was more romantic and cute to do than continually carry her bridal style everywhere. She smiled and nodded.

     "Sure, I guess. I haven't gotten a piggyback ride from anyone in a while." I smile even more as I bend down for her to jump on my back. I swear though, my face is gonna hurt from all this smiling tomorrow. As she jumped on my back, I make sure she's secure before moving to head back to the house again. She wrapped her arms around my shoulders and rested her head against my back. A blush crept over my face, and I hoped nobody would notice when I entered the house.
