Race's POV:

He held his breath but looked at her "Y-yes?" He asks she nods smiling "I'd love too Race." She whispered he was completely surprised hearing that he exhaled relieved of that torturous waiting his heartbeat finally slowed down to its normal pace "Poifect, c'mon then Ms. Conlon." He whispered softly grabbing her small hand in his own which was twice the size of hers he was surprised she wasn't pulling away from him or anything like that before he always experienced the complete opposite every single time, girl after girl, day after day it broke him all the time making it hard for him to be his confident but cocky/flirty self around people but then when he first saw (Y/N) he knew he couldn't give up on himself yet he tried almost every girl in 'Hattan except her he felt like he could finally relax and be himself in front of her, he lead her up to the top of the water tower there was a little blanket on the railing already she sat down then himself he let go of her hand as they exchange a little glance then look out onto the beautiful scenery of the sleeping city Manhattan. He looked over as (Y/N) looked up at the dark navy blue sky with little white twinkling stars in the sky the bright calming light from the moon beaming cascading its own light down onto the two Newsies "Wow the sky is beautiful here Race." She whispered in complete awe of the night sky he smiles "It is isn't it?" He replies "I just wish I saw it more often ya know? Took a little more risks." She says he nods "Yeah, I kinda wish I did that more as well." He replies "I'm of age of taking care of myself I'm 17 Spot's 20 but I'm old enough I'm not a little girl anymore he doesn't need to lookout for me." She whispers "I unda'stands dat (Y/N), I unda'stand dat youse wanna makes youse own decisions but Spot's just woied he's gonna lose his baby sista." Race replies trying to be comforting she smiles "I guess youse right." She replies he smiles at her she smiles back they sat there for a bit.

Comfortable silence now turning awkward quickly "You wanna know the scariest decision I ever made?" (Y/N) asked out of the blue "Shuah hit me wit it." He replies "The scariest thing I'se ever done was crossin' da bridge over to 'Hattan all by myself to try to come and hopefully to find you." She says fidgeting with her hands but looked him in the eyes the entire time he smiled hearing those words "Really?" He asks she nodded "Yeah, I'se wanted ta come find's ya not only ta see ya but to tells' youse dat we's joinin' da strike Race." She whispered he sat there for a few seconds dumbfounded by what he heard "Really Brooklyn's joinin?" He whispered excitement layered his voice "Yes, we are." She replies just as excited "How'd ol' Spot change his mind?" Race asked her "I did it took some persuasion but that's what I'm good at so Spot will meet up wit Jack Kelly you betta get'em ready for ma broda cause his boys and I'se gonna be there." She explained ever so intently and perfectly at the same time he smiles completely happy "Oh (Y/N) thank you! Thank you I'll tell Jack tomorrow." He cheers hugging her she hugged him back "Youse welcome Race, it was my pleasure to help out my fellow Newsie." She replies smiling he let go of her both of them calming down they both lay there enjoying each other's company "I'm hoping we's win." (Y/N) whispered to Race he took her hand in his looking directly in her chocolate brown eyes as she stared deeply into Race's blue eyes. "I'm sure as heck knowin' dat we's gonna win (Y/N), trust me." He whispers she smiles at him she felt herself blushing hard and bright right in front of the hot Newsie in front of her Race caught on instantly the light of the moon on his side made him see her red face he smirks "Awe youse blushin' in front of me dat's so adorable!" Race cooed at her majesty making her even more red and embarrassed in front of him "Awe c'mere sweetie." He teased at her softly as he watched the

girl blush bringing her in for a little hug cradling her head in his chest she smiles in his hold "This felt really nice." She thought "I don't want this to end ever." Then Race let go of her she sat back up they were perched up on their knees still on the blanket Race and (Y/N) looked at each other for a brief second before looking away becoming squirrelly and embarrassed in front of each other. That's when Race decided to break the silence between the two of them "(Y/N)." He whispered she looks at him "Yes Race?" She asks him he inhaled deeply and exhaled quietly "I really enjoyed tonight I haven't been out wit a goil in foiever and I'se just wanna says, thank youse for comin' up here wit me." He says to her watching as she smiles she felt her heart melt when hearing that he had a great time "Youse very welcome Race, I-I enjoyed our time up here togetha also it was really nice and thank ya Youse the first boy that's eva asked me out before." She admits he was surprised by hearing that from her "How am I'se the only boy that's asked youse out? I mean look at's ya you're completely gorgeous!" He says (Y/N) froze so did Race "Y-you think I'm gorgeous?" She stuttered "Of course I'se do in fact youse da most gorgeous goil in da woild." He says she couldn't believe what she was hearing from him she was excited her heart was pulsating in her chest "How do I believe that Race? How do's I'se know youse just ain't lyin' ta me?" She asks testing him he smirks "Why would I'se lie ta ya?" He asked her she shrugs "I'm havin'a hard time believin' youse Race I want to but I just can't." She replies she was desperately wanting to believe every word he's saying but so many people have crushed her spirits, many different times and places that she finds it hard to believe people again she looks at Race with worry her eyes shifted everywhere then they stopped at his eyes when she heard the words "I can prove it." Come out of his mouth she sat there looking at him she nodded slightly at him he scooted closer to her ever so slightly he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close to him as he connected his own lips to hers (Y/N) felt fireworks explode in her body her heartbeat getting faster, her body getting weaker and weaker.

She instantly kissed him back completely surprised by his notion but Race on the other hand was completely anxious about kissing her but when he did electricity shot throughout his entire body he felt his heart accelerate in speed as he kept kissing the girl in front of him as soon as he laid his eyes on her, he felt the need to breathe but also didn't want to stop kissing her but they both knew it had to come to an end they pull away resting their foreheads against each other breathing heavily both of them blushing like madmen in the night sky "Does that prove that youse gorgeous and that I love you?" Race asked her she smiles "Y-you love me?" She asks "O'course I love ya! Youse the most gorgeous girl in New York!" He compliments again causing her to smile she hugs him he hugged her back "I love ya too Race." She whispered happily he chuckles softly rubbing her back comfortingly they pull away from the hug "C'mon I'se should takes ya home." Race offered he climbed down from the top of the water tower holding out his hand for her she smiles taking it as he slowly helped her down leading down the railing and back to the ground she held Race's hand as they walked side by side together the light of the beautiful white moon was paving the way for them as they talked about each other's interests and dislikes and many others then they made it to the bridge (Y/N) let's go of Race's hand smiling at him she hugs him then kissed him on the lips he kissed her back she pulled away from him "Goodnight Race, I love you." She whispers "I love ya too (Y/N) very much, Goodnight." He whispered back turning away when something else said different "(Y/N) wait!..." Race said "Yes?" (Y/N) whispers "Will you be my Queen of New York?" He asks her she smiles and nodded "Of course I will Race." She whispered he smiles "Goodnight, I love ya." She whispers waving goodbye he waved back at her "Goodnight, I love youse too." He whispered back as she disappeared from his sight he relit his cigar and turned around heading back to Jack's Penthouse the bright luminescent light of the white full moon shone brightly as Race finally made it back he swiftly walked inside locking up the doors and windows, walked up a few scaffolds and made it up to his room safely taking off his shoes and cap setting his cigar and lighter on a little stool hiding them under his cap as he took off his vest hanging it up and finally nestled into his soft comfy bed as he closed his eyes dreaming about his girlfriend.
