Chapter 3
"Thank you all for watching, and I'll see you in the next one!"
Raptors had just finished editing his newest video, before sighing and laying back in his chair. "That took so long..." he complained to himself. He sat up and saw the piece of paper Madoka had given him. "Hm..." He thought for a while. About 30 minutes, before deciding to call her up.
Ring...Ring...
"Yello, red, and blue, this is Madoka, if you're tryna sell you can go," she answered, not knowing who was calling. "Um...Hey...it's Rap-"
"You actually called?! Man, I didn't think that would happen, how's it going dude?" she asked, cutting him off with excitement.
"Uh...nothing much, just finished a video..." Raptors said timidly.
"Cool, cool, I was just watching one of your videos, it was the Kena video, and it was pretty nice."
"Okay then. Um...I made a new channel by the way..."
"I noticed! I hope your journey with the new channel goes well!"
"Thanks..."
"Hey, do you wanna go out tonight?"
"Um...l-like a date or a hangout...?"
"Whichever you're more comfortable with, I don't care either way. Though I might be more flirty on the date than on the hangout~"
"F-flirty...?"
"Heheh, don't worry I won't do it heavily, so you free?"
"U-um...sure...let's just hang out though...?"
"Okay then, I can dress more comfortably then. I'll pick ya up at 6."
"Shouldn't I do that...?"
"Nah it's okay, I'll treat ya, see you after a while."
"Wait-"
Click.
"Well...it wasn't a disaster at least..." he thought to himself. He blushed, thinking of the thought of her flirting with him. "I hope I don't look like a fool..." he sighed, and decided to go out in his Alpha Agnar (his Sonic character) form, and waited for her arrival.
After a few hours, there was a knock at the door. He took a deep breath and answered. It was her, Madoka. The brown hedgehog was wearing dark blue jeans with a black shirt that had a rock band on it. "Heya, ready to go?" she asked with a soft smile. "U-um...sure..." he told her, seeming shy. "Coolio, let's go," she grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the house. Seeing her hold his hand made him blush gently. "U-uh...is t-this neccicary..." "What?" she asked, looking at him as they walked. He then raised his hand that she held, looking away shyly. "Oh, sorry I didn't realize, I'm a 'touchy' person," she said with a grin before letting him go.
Madoka took Raptors to a park, which was quiet and had some trails leading into the tall trees. "This...is actually nice," he said, seeming more relaxed. "What? Did you think I was gonna take you to a mall or something?" she asked with a smile, walking on the trail with him into the forest-like area. "Kinda, I thought we were going to be around others..." he confessed, scratching his head. "Nah, I know you've said that you're a little anti-social so I didn't want to give you a panic attack. If we're gonna be friends, I want to make sure we can hang out and both be happy and relaxed," she explained, seeming so genuine. "And maybe if I'm lucky I can become a friend with benefits," she joked, elbowing him gently. "W-what?" Raptors asked, looking at her with bright red cheeks. "Heheh, I'm only joking don't worry," she chuckled, patting his shoulder.
For a while, they just walked, not talking much, however, they enjoyed each other's company. Madoka would take a few pictures of the wildlife and the sunlight between the trees here and there. Raptors would watch silently, not wanting to interrupt her artwork. "It's so beautiful outside," she said, looking at the nature around them. "Mhm," Raptors hummed, looking at her. Madoka looked at him and smiled, which made him blush a little. "W-what...?"
"Just thought it was cute, when I said it was beautiful, you kept looking at me."
"O-oh...um..."
"Dude, I'm not gonna be angry if you think I'm attractive, heh. No need to be shy."
"O-okay...I just don't want you to think I-I'm trying to flirt..."
"Pfft, don't worry, that's why I'm here."
"H-huh?"
"Just kidding, haha."
"Oh, okay, heheh."
The two had a pleasant conversation, Madoka putting little flirtatious jokes here and there just to make him blush. She made sure to stop for a while to ensure he wasn't uncomfortable. "So, um...how come you want to be friends?" he asked, looking at her with confusion. "Because you're cool, duh," Madoka said with a smile. "Mmm...As you can see I'm not as quirky as I am in my videos...I'm awkward and quiet..." he looked down, sighing. "Well, I'm a new person, so you're not going just to be yourself, I mean I've been around for, pssh, 200 years? So I'm more comfortable being me around strangers and new people. But believe it or not, I was just like you." She looked away, having a sad smile. "Really? you seem so confident. And I didn't realize you were so-" "Old?" she said with a slight chuckle. "I-I don't mean to be rude I just-" "Dude relax. I am pretty old, it's really okay," she said softly. "I'm not like girls nowadays who are like, 'Oh mY gOd! ThIs GuY sAiD i'M pReTtY, hE's TrYiNg tO gEt iN mY pAnTs! hE kNoWs mY aGe sO rUdE!' I'm not a basic bitch, I can take it," she told him, putting her hands behind her head. "But yeah, before I turned, I could barely talk to my neighbors, in a way, being a vampire kind of helped me be confident. Though it has its cons...call it a blessing and a cure I guess," she sighed, thinking back to when she was younger. "So...how come you don't burn...?" "Well, there are two different vampires, Children of the Night, and Sun Walkers, the first can only be out in the day, whereas the other can, well, walk in the sun. I was lucky to be a sun walker, and I don't shine like Twighlight vampires so," she rolled her eyes at the thought of them. "The books are alright, but the movies could've been better."
After a few hours, Madoka brought Raptors home. "I hope you had fun, I'll see ya around," she told him, about to leave. "Y-you know...you could stay for a little while...if you want..." Raptors said, blushing a bit. "Really? Thanks, man!" Madoka smiled, going into his house. "No problem," Raptors said with a smile, closing the door.
Raptors felt like this relationship was going to last...but not in the way he intended.
