Almost 9 years had passed by since that one night of madness/cheiosity shared between Sarah and Buggy.

In those years many things changed. It came out that Sarah was actually adopted by the Gold's, but of course they didn't look at her any differently. Except for Arthur, who was now noticing her more and beginning to look at her in a different way.  Balefire had moved out and started a family with his fiancée Emma. Arthur helped out his father in the shop with Gideon, but Buggy was mostly away a lot, traveling the world like he always wanted to. He would come back for thanksgiving, Christmas  and birthdays and when he did he never acted any differently towards Sarah. He was like a playful big brother. The only tensions within the family at the moment was Gideon wanting to go and travel with Buggy but Belle didn't want another son to be away so much, and Buggy didn't really want the responsibility of taking care of his kid brother.

But also he couldn't shake off the feeling since that night 9 years ago. He couldn't let Sarah go. He then realized...he was falling inlove with his sister. But she probably didn't have the same feelings like he did, in fact, he sensed she maybe dating someone.

Buggy was right. It had only been a week, and Arthur and Sarah were dating. When he got a message on the radio that Arthur was dating Sarah, it sickened him...as if he was jealous.

"Well, what do I care? Ifs not like we were ever meant to be together anyway," he muttered to himself as he pulled the circle from a bottle of rum with his teeth, then spat it out and took a huge gulp.

He couldn't be jealous. He did not want to be jealous. He wanted Sarah to be happy. He couldn't expect her to stay single forever anyways.

It's just....with his brother? Damn. That hurt even more.

Feeling desperate he went back to the radio and messaged his friend Alvida. He had a proposition for her.

Back at home, Arthur and Sarah went to the carnival by the pier together. It was another date. 6th date of the week. She and Arthur went in a Photo Booth and took cute and romantic photos together.

Arthur smiled happily and put his arm around Sarah as they smiled at the camera. He smoothed down his hair hoping he'd look decent in the photos. For one of the other photos, Sarah kissed Arthur's cheek and he blushed shyly.

Afterwards they walked along the boardwalk and he bought her some cotton candy.

Sarah was happy being with him. They hadn't have their first kiss yet, but she knew Arthur was shy. It took him a long time to ask her out. Suddenly he dropped his smile seeing an old coworker of his. He was surprised he survived his beating. He was wearing a bandage over his eye of course.

"Oh no. Perhaps it's better we go the other way," Arthur said, steering Sarah back the way they had came to try and avoid a confrontation with Randall.

But it was too late, Randall came to him, "hey, Art. Taking a walk with our baby sister?" He then smirked seeing Sarah, but she didn't dare look at him.

"Leave it alone, Randall. You wouldn't understand plus it's none of your damn business!!"

"Well she's pretty," Randall smirked and reached out to touch her face, but she pulled back shaking.

"Hey! Don't touch her!!" Arthur growled angrily, and knocked his hand away "not if you don't want to wind up with your other eye being bandaged too!"

"Geesh, Art. Do you want to do that? You scared Gary to death...you want the sexy little girl to run away?" Randall smirked.

Arthur glared at him, "she won't run away!! You should be running away, right now! I won't tell you again, Randall, get the hell away from us!!"

Randall glared at him, but turned to Sarah and winked his good eye to her and left. Sarah didn't even look at him and was shaking.

"I'm so sorry about him, Sarah. He's....a trouble causer. You know all of what happened with him. He can't be trusted. But I'll protect you from him," he took Sarah's hand in his own, "do you want to continue the date or would you rather go home now?"

"I want to continue," she gave him quick kiss on his lips. It was their first kiss now. Hopefully that would give him confidence.

Arthur blushed and smiled. That was his first kiss. He thought perhaps it was Sarah's too, because she'd never had a boyfriend before.

He took her hand and they went to the Ferris wheel. It wasn't a very high one so he knew Sarah shouldn't be too afraid of the height. They climbed aboard a carriage and as they moved upwards Arthur put his arm around her, enjoying the view of the town and the moment.

"I bet we could see Batman from up here," Sarah giggled.

"Yeah," Arthur chuckled, "it's amazing, the city actually looks quite good from up here. It's even better with you," he smiled at her.

Sarah blushed at him, "I do wish...Buggy was home. He is missing out all this fun."

"I'm pretty sure he's having plenty of fun out there" Arthur looked out into the distance where the ocean was just visible on the horizon, "besides he'll be back soon for mom's birthday. He'd never miss that."

That was next week. She even wondered I he had a girlfriend now, thinking of it kinda worried her. Ever since that night they touched, she couldn't get it out of her mind, but Arthur was showing signs he liked her. She was slowly liking him too.

"Arthur...I know we've dated a week, but we've known each other forever...can we...spend the night...at your apartment?"

"Oh, uh....sure," he blushed, "do you think mom and dad will be okay with it? I mean, it must still be weird for them to come to terms with, you and me dating."

"...no, I mean I spend the night lots of times with Buggy...I want to be alone...alone with you," she wanted to get the past out of her mind badly.

".....yeah but, you and Buggy were different. Mom and dad were fine with it because you weren't dating. We are," he smiled apologetically, "I just think maybe they need a little more time to get used to the idea of us being together. Maybe just give a couple more dates?" he suggested.

He knew this must be an odd thing for his family to come to terms with.

"They don't have to know, Artie. Really."

"But I'll know, and I feel bad lying to them," Arthur looked at her concerned, "is everything okay, Sarah? You seem almost desperate to go to my apartment. Like you're trying to rush things."

"...I guess...I've been kinda crushing you longer than we dated."

Buggy wasn't the only brother she wanted to touch, feel, love, or fuck with...Arthur too, but only them. Gideon was really a true brother to her and even Neal aka Balefire. He was very protective of his brothers even Sarah. Since he was the oldest. Something about Buggy and Arthur made her go crazy.

"I'm sorry," she looked down, "maybe we should go home...," she then mumbled, "I ruined it tonight..."

"Hey no, you haven't ruined it. I guess I'm just scared of ruining it. Ruining it by freaking our folks out if they think we're sleeping together too soon....," Arthur sighed, "but that's not because I don't want to be alone with you. I do. I'd really like that. Although I am nervous. I've no experience really, but it makes me feel better knowing you don't have any either," he smiled warmly, "we're each other's first kiss, right?"

"...right." Not right, Buggy was her first. Her first touch, but luckily he didn't take her virginity.

"Well then....i guess we could go back to the apartment. I'll let mom and dad know. So long as we take things slow, agreed?" he then kissed her cheek.

"...ok," she blushed.

Once at his apartment, Arthur locked the door and turned to Sarah. He shivered slightly, but finally got the courage to kiss her. She then kissed him back. He pulled back looking into her eyes. He then gave a soft smile and kissed her again and she kissed him back.

He continued to kiss her as he walked her back towards the couch. Once he fell onto the couch with her he laughed and blushed as they ended up lay in a tangle together.

Sarah blushed and giggled with him. "You didn't drink anything and you seem drunk," she teased.

"Not drunk, just feeling a little nervous, but also happy," he leaned in again and kissed her.

She kissed him back gently. She slide her hands up and cupped his face. Arthur then kissed on her cheek, jawline, and down to her neck making her moan. "...ahh~..."

Arthur was encouraged by her moans, he figured that must mean she was enjoying this. He ran his hands down the sides of her body and gripped on her waist as he kissed behind her ear and then on her lips again. He then reached up and gently squeezed her breasts in his hands.

Sarah moaned and lifted her hands over her head so he could take her shirt off, once he pulled it off, she sat up and kissed him again with her hands on his red vest.

Arthur took his vest off but kept his shirt on. He then lay down on the couch and continued to make out with her. But he wouldn't go too far as he still felt nervous and didn't want to rush into things with her.

Sarah held his head as she kissed down his neck. Planting kisses all over his smooth skin. She really wanted to forget that night she had with Buggy...but doing this,...she couldn't.

"....." Arthur moaned softly, shaking as she kissed him. He gently pulled her on top of him so they were even closer, but he too began to get excited and he was sure she could feel it.

"U-uh, Sarah...I'm sorry," he placed her back beside him on the couch, "I don't want to freak you out," he said, embarrassed.

"It's ok...," she reached on placed her hand on the bulge on his pants.

Arthur turned immediately red. Sarah was too, but she leaned in and kissed him as she stroked him.

"S-Sarah....i think we need to take things slow. And.....things seem to be moving pretty fast" he swallowed roughly.

"...sorry..." she looked down.

"No, please don't be sorry. You have nothing to be sorry for" he kissed her softly "....im sorry, I'm just being too shy and cautions....we can carry on if you want to."

"...we don't have to..."

".....well we don't have to go too far but, we can still continue with what we were doing" he kissed her cheek "....I'm sorry. I shouldn't have stopped you"

"...you're alright. You're just nervous..."

"I am..." he smiled shyly he then kissed her softly again "I guess I've killed the moment now, huh?"

"No," she kissed him.

"Good" he held her face and kissed her deeply.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Arthur sighed. So he went to the door and Sarah put on her shirt back on. It was his doctor back in Arkham so he quickly shut the door once he step outside, "the hell you doing here?"

"Oh I just thought I drop by...and see how you are doing...I was around."

"I'm fine really. I'm busy at the moment, Miss Quinnzel."

"Oh come on, that's an excuse and I know it, Puddin'."

Arthur shivered hearing her say that nickname. "Uh, Miss Quinzel.....I don't mind us meeting up for coffee sometime, just as friends maybe... but I am with my....my sister....right now."

"Your sister? Ooo can I see the little cutie-pie?"

Arthur sighed awkwardly, "she's younger than me but she's not like, a child, she's like, 23 now...." he slowly opened the door and let her inside "uh, Sarah, this is my doctor from Arkham....Miss Quinzel."

"Nice to meet cha," she told her holding out her hand.

Sarah refused to take it. He let another girl in? She even looked prettier than her. She looked down and played with her sweater.

"Uh, my sister is very shy, Harleen. And she's tired. It's been kind of a long day. I'm going to get her home now."

"...alright...", Arthur took her to the door and once she left and door shut, Sarah grabbed her spring jacket.

Arthur noticed and tried to stop her.

"No...I really I want to go home...alone...," she looked down.

Arthur tried to speak, but she jerked away and walked out tearing up.

"Sarah! Please....," Arthur followed her down the stairs but then stopped seeing Sarah outside his building with their father.

He'd come by to see if Sarah needed a ride home.

Mr Gold could see that Sarah was upset, "is everything alright, dearie?"

She shook her head and he wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead. "The hang out was fun, but...a man tried to grab me...and he invited a stranger in." The last part was slightly a lie.

".....oh really?" he helped Sarah into his car, "well let's get you home and you can talk about it some more if you wish to. If not, I'll just make you a nice hot chocolate."

He then drove her home.
