"Daryl's POV...*

I finally am able to persuade her and she gave in and made me
Promise I won't do it again
Like what children do or simply doing a pinky swear.

"So what kind of person do you like?" She asked unconsciously as
She cutted her nails, sitting on
Her bed. "Huh?... Uh you..." I
Said and looked away trying to
Hide my blush.

She almost forgot how to breathe
Upon hearing my statement. She
Looked at him and cleared her throat after regaining her composure. "E-eh, I-i mean like, you know, a-as a friend and all and everything.—!" I blurted out, smiling foolishly at her, mentally slapping myself. She was just quiet and didn't do anything more as she continued cutting her nails.

"W-well, let's change the mood because I think, if we don't we
Won't be able to talk like forever." She said and tried not to blush as she bit her tongue
Inside, almost feeling it have a
Wound from the bite.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"S-so? Can we go out?" I asked making her laugh halfheartedly
As she almost broke her pecil,
Feeling her eye twitch not wanting to make eye contact with the blond and not drool or blush on him.

"W-well, that sounded nice. I'll
Just prepare okay? You don't need money, do you?" She softly chuckled making me blush and
Nod. After a few minutes of me
Waiting for her to get dressed. She whistled after stepping out of the bathroom wearing a cute
Yellow dress.

I felt myself blush out of nowhere and now tried to chase myself with a gun mentally. What's gotten into you? Asking her out? Oh, dude, you're like, the freaking thin air and all but eh—uhm... Urgh, let it justttt beeee...

It's not like she likes me back, no?

"Let's go?" She suggested and I
Nodded as we walked out of her room side by side. "Sis,
Where're you going?" Jirah asked
As she peaked from her room to
Look at her older sister.

"I'll just roam around okay? I'll
Be okay." She said and her little
Sister nodded and glanced somewhere before continuing her project. She walked downstairs and got out of the house with some maids and guards wishing for her to be safe.

"Hehe...Off we go!"

Of course! — she doesn't. I'm just her so called imaginary friend, like duh! Wait— what?..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Wow... It's so pretty from here..." She said as she stared at the gleaming lights from the ferris wheel. She noticed my
Tranquility and turned her head to my direction only to see me with eyes shut closed, holding at the chair for my dear life.

"You scared of heights?" She chuckled and I pouted giving her a small scowl. "Yeah! So what? Have a problem?" I retorted with a pout and she chuckled.

Before I knew it she was sitting
Beside me trying to make me
Calm. I fixated my gaze on her
Chocolate orbs and a small smile
Made its way to my lips. I slowly placed my hand above hers and looked up at the sky looking at the twinkling stars above.

"This is so nostalgic... I remember telling Laurence about my brother... Well, it's not like I still haven't moved on but...
The case is done and I feel like he's already in peace... Also after forgiving himself after what he's done.." She said with a faint smile and I then saw images and
Heard familiar voices.

"I told you not to run eh." A brunet lad said to a little boy as
He carried him to a bench, watching the little lad weep, staring at a gash at his leg.

"S-sorry..." He stuttered and the
Brunet shook his head and gave him a small smile as he took out a
Hanky, wrapping it around his leg. "Just don't do it again, kiddo.
Let's go home and treat that okay?" He said and the little lad
Nodded climbing up carefully to the Brunet's back as he started walking home.

"Daryl? Daryl? Dariru?" I heard
A voice say and I was snapped out of my daze and thoughts as
I looked at the maiden that is
Waving her hands at my front
Trying to get my attention.

"Y-yea?" I asked and she shook
Her head and chuckled before looking up at the sky. "Thanks..."
She said to particularly no one and I just stared at her looking at her silky raven hair and at her
Gleaming chocolate eyes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Let's see..." I muttered to
Myself as I watched a lone female do a rubrics cube with an
Uneasy expression. "She's nev--"
I said and cutted myself off when
I heard her murmur things to herself, a sullen expression planted on her face and a gloomy
Aura around her is visible.

"You're okay right?What if you're lonely? People get lonely right?
Of course it's okay. You're just
Being a stereotype. It's okay Isabel. What's better than a quiet atmosphere?" She murmured to
Herself and got the tip of her
Finger stucked on the side of the
Cube making her wince and curse under her breath.

She continued doing the cube again and again even if she already fixed it muttering lies to herself and almost screaming like a lunatic.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Isabel sat at the edge of the fountain as usual without anyone with her but now Daryl always stood by her side just to make her feel complete which she is.
Oh, what could've ever happened if he never existed?

"Hey..." She whispered as she closed her lunch box and faced the me who sat across her, playing with flowers and making a flower crown.

"Hmm?" I asked with a smile,
Placing the blue flower crown above my head making me look
Like an elf or something. She
Looked away and chuckled before speaking with a dreamy tone.

"What if you're just not my imagination?" She asked and I was taken aback at first but answered her sudden question.
"W-well... That'd b-be great... Since... I'm falling for you..." I
Stuttered with shades of red visible on my cheeks, scratching the back of my neck. She looked at me in surprise, her eyes widening and disbelief visible in her eyes. My expression slowly and suddenly changed seeing her reaction, and mostly her expression. She opened her mouth and I looked at her intently waiting for an answer to satisfy myself.

She just then leaned forward and then wrapped her arms around my neck. I was expecting for her to either fall or pass through me but it never happened and I really wonder why, like I had a physical body? Or was it something?

"Yeah.... That'd be great."

*×*×*

Woah, woah, woah, is author fangirling? Ahaha. But oh? What are the secrets behind Daryl? And he confessed but. BUT. We never got a proper answer from Isabel
