This is the fastest moving relationship I've ever written.

After Monroe had scurried off Red had stood, leaning in the doorway watching her talk animatedly with her friends with a fond expression. Sure he had only just met her but something about her was just attracting him to her. Which is why he couldn't wait for their date, he wanted to get to know her, make sure this wasn't just a physical attraction.

After looking on for a minute he pushed himself off the door and started towards his friends. Some of them looked towards him expectantly while others kept chatting away.

"I have a date." He mumbled shyly as he sat down at his normal spot. A couple people on the table cheered when they heard him, causing the whole table to erupt when their attention got caught. Red blushed looking down at his fingers in his lap that were intertwined, when he saw Monroe's table look over.

"Aww little Mikey's going on his first date." His friend Calum cooed, pinching his already red cheeks.

"Shut up." Michael said, swatting Calum's hands. Sure Michael had kissed a few girls but he had never taken any on a date. He was only sixteen anyway. Calum only laughed and put his elbows on the table leaning his head on his hands.

"Where are you guys going?" Calum asked.

"We're going to a restaurant and then I'm planning we go to the park afterwards. There having a small market thingy on Saturday." Michael said glancing over at Monroe, who had already been looking and looked down being caught. Michael inwardly cooed knowing that she was probably blushing.

"Aww, that's cute." Calum squealed, "You guys are cute!"

"I try." Michael said pretending to flip his hair. Calum laughed and gently pushed Michael causing Michael to push him before they continued eating and taking for the remaining 20 minutes out of their 40 minute lunch period.

Once the lunch bell rang everyone had quickly gone to their lockers while Red and Monroe stayed a bit behind trying to walk together without getting separated by the stamped of rushing sophomores. She hesitantly grabbed his hand, shyly looking down when he looked at her.

"You're cute." Michael blurted, inwardly slapping himself for saying that.

"Thank you, so are you." She said turning to face him in the hallway that was clearing out, neither of them minded because it was free period next where most everyone spends outside or in a classroom catching up. Michael smiled and grabbed her face in his hand, eyes flickering to her lips and then to her eyes again.

"Can I kiss you, Rambles?" He asked already leaning towards her face. She only nodded before connecting their lips. Her lips felt soft on his slightly chapped one and tasted of faint chocolate (she had eaten a cookie during lunch).

Both of them smiled into the kiss, his hands moving down to her hips, gripping them tightly. While her hands moved to his red hair and lugged lightly. His tongue slipped into her mouth as they kissed and they both stood there in the hallway kissing each other only breaking apart for air.

"Are you picking me up from my house?" Monroe panted after they pulled away. Michael shook his head saying,

"No I have band practice but I'll drop you off." And once again he reconnected their kiss, seemingly addicted to her lips. Monroe reluctantly pulled away once again before asking again,

"Should I wear anything fancy?" Michael once again shook his head giving her a quick peck before continuing.

"No, what your wearing now is fine."  He said looking down at her. She was dressed in dark blue  jeggings, a black peplum top with a dark blue colored belt and  black flats, "You look cute."

"I'll wear something similar." She said attaching their lips again her hand coming down from his neck to lay rested on his chest while his arms wrapped around her waist. They kissed for a bit before pulling away and headed outside to where most of their friend were.

When the made it outside the both looked on confused when they saw that both of their friend groups talking together.

"What's taking them so long?" Someone groaned and Michael and Monroe realized they didn't see them come out the doors.

"Probably making out." A male voice said in the huge clump, causing multiple people to make disgusted sounds. But the comment only made Michael and Monroe blush, seeing as how it was true.

"Hey guys!" Michael said holding onto Monroe's hand acting like he didn't hear what they had said.

"Hey." They chorused back, and just like that the groups split nearly down the middle and grabbed their rightful person back, separating Michael and Monroe's intertwined hands.

Both of them gave each other side glances as they were interrogated by their friends, most of them put off by their matching swollen lips.
