"In fact, me and Miss (Y/N) have been happily married for the last 3 years, living on unicorn island! We are the rulers of the puppy empire and also have this cute little daughter named Lexie too!" He says.
Lexie's eyes brighten.
"Wow!"
Edd nods, "And you know what? Our Lexie from the puppy kingdom looks a lot like you! Cute and pretty!" He pats Lexie's head.
Lexie looks at you, eyes filled with amazement.
"Is that true, miss (Y/N)?" She asks.
You were too affected by her cuteness to deny it.
"Aha...yes...yes it's true, Lexie." You giggle.
"Wait! I'm gonna go get something inside! Wait here!"
She runs off inside the orphanage in a rush, excited to show you something.
Edd stands up, dusting off some dirt from his pants.
He looks at you and smiles playfully,
"My head hurts."
You couldn't help but chuckle, "You're so cute."
"I'm not kidding. My head hurts."
You sigh, standing up on your tippy-toes, kissing him on his forehead.
"Feeling better, sweetie?"
You jokingly say.
He seemed a bit surprised by your action.
He looked away, embarrassed and flustered was what his face was basically saying.
"Aww! Someone's shy!" You poke his cheek repeatedly.
"Ah...I regret telling that story to Lexie now..." He mumbles.
You giggle.

Tord got separated from Matt and Tom, seeing as Tord got interested in the hospital area, Matt and Tom decided to wander the halls aimlessly.
"Orphanages always had a bad place in my heart." Matt suddenly says.
"Ah...because of...that?" Tom replies, making random gestures, but Matt knew what he was trying to say.
"I-It wasn't your fault, Tom...it's just...ah..." Matt stammers a bit.
"You know what? N-never mind." He waves it off.
Tom shrugs, "If you wanna keep silent, sure."
They walk for a few more minutes.
"Hey Tom, what do you think of (Y/N)?" Matt—as he always does—randomly asks.
Though, a hint of seriousness was mixed in his voice.
"As a friend or more?" He asks.
"...More."
"I think of her as my aunt."
"Pfft. C'mon, Tom...I don't mean that!" Matt elbows Tom, chuckling a bit.
"...Well I think she's really...kind. When talking to her, she listens to you, not just hear you. She looks at you with such genuine...care. Have you ever looked at someone's eyes and just think that they're so deep that you think you might just drown?"
Matt thinks really deeply about what his older brother is saying.
"...Ya see, you fall in love with every girl you cross-paths with. Like...For all we know, you might be falling for (Y/N) next."
Tord's text suddenly clicks in his mind.
"Right, You're desperate for any girl to like you. Are you that desperate for love or something? For you, it's like anyone will do."
Have you ever looked at him with care before?
Matt suddenly feels all bubbly inside.
"Tom, have you ever fallen in love before?"
"Where are all these questions coming from?" Tom chuckles.
"My head, obviously."
"Wanna hear something mind blowing, then?"
Matt nods.
"I love me." Tom whispers.
"Can you not?" Matt whisper-yells in response.
"Sorry, it's fun teasing you."
An awkward pause.
"Ah...that came out really really bad."
"It's okay."
"I've seen how you look at her."
"Ah, was it obvious?"
"..."
"Okay, I'll admit it then if you're so desperate."
Tom inhales, then exhales.
"Me, Thomas Ridgewell, has fallen in love with (Y/N) (L/N)."
"...No offense, Tom, but that was kind of cringeworthy."
"Oh shut up. Like you could do better."
