"To do my errands, silly," you giggled. "I need to go now! Have fun you two!" Smiling, you started to walk away where Asta was and run through the woods. Once you realized that you were already far from the Black Bulls base, you stopped from running and catch your breath.

While taking a breath, you didn't realize that a tear slipped down on your cheek. It's painful for you to know that Asta wouldn't look at a girl like you, imagining Asta and Noelle being together really pained you a lot. How did you end up in a very troublesome situation? There are tons of guys in Clover Kingdom that you can like but instead, you fell for a guy that your friend already likes. How unlucky can you get?

You leaned your back against the tree then took a sit. You look at the beautiful vast sky, resting your arms on your head. You feel peaceful at the moment, the wind breeze that was gushing through your body and hearing the birds sing.

Although you were gloomy a while ago, encountering this peaceful place makes you relieved for a moment. Having a peaceful time like this is very rare since your comrades were a bunch of rowdy people and being chaotic without Yami in the headquarters.

You didn't realize that you fell asleep in the woods.

You were awakened from your sleep when you felt something tapped your cheek. Slowly opening your eyes, and adjusting your blurry vision to see things clearly. You were surprised to see Asta beside you, smiling. You were rendered speechless, confused to how did he find you in this big place.

"A-Asta?" You stammered, staring at the non-magic user with a shocked look.

"You're finally awake," he said, averting his gaze from you then leaned his back against the tree.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was searching for you since forever you know." His statement makes you confused.

Why does he even searching for you? You thought that he and Noelle would go to the castle town together.

"I thought you went to the castle town with Noelle?" Asta didn't reply you.

The atmosphere between you two went silent and the only thing that you were hearing is the rustling of the leaves because of the wind. You just ignored Asta and hugged your knees because you don't know what to do. You can feel the awkward tension surrounding the both of you.

"(Name)..." Asta called out your name to which you whipped your head to look at him.

"What is it?" You tilt your head, waiting for his answer. The boisterous boy sighed and faced you with a serious look on his face. This made you nervous because seeing Asta being like that really scared you. It's unusual for Asta to get serious excluding when he's fighting and in missions.

"Since when you will notice me?" Asta speaks up. You didn't get what he meant so you asked.

"What do you mean notice you?" You raised your eyebrow and Asta sighed softly.

"I didn't know that you're this dense, (Name)!" He laughs causing your face to heat up in embarrassment.

"I-I'm not!"

"Then why can't you tell that I have feelings for you?" The moment he said that statement, you froze.

Are you hearing things or did Asta really said it with his mouth? Your heart thumped quickly and you can feel your stomach churn in excitement. You only stared at the guy you like with disbelief. You don't know what to say to him.

Is Asta really confessing to you right now? If this is a dream, you wished that you won't ever wake up in this beautiful moment.

"H-Huh?" You blinked and Asta smiled at you widely.

"Can you notice me, (Name)? I've been trying all sorts of things just for you to notice me," he confessed then he rested his head on your right shoulder, making you startled from his action.

"R-Really? Since when did you like me, Asta?" You managed to ask him despite that you're still in your astonished state.

"Since the time when you were crying in the woods and I have this urge to protect you and make you happy whenever you're sad."

You remembered that time, after the fight you have with the one of the Third's Eye member; Vetto. During the fight, you were aware that your friends were already in a crisis, especially Asta who's badly injured and wounded severely. Vanessa and the others were supporting Asta to beat Vetto. But you were all saved because of Captain Yami, beating the shit out of the Third Eye member. Despite that you did nothing to help your friends, the captain still complimented you and patted your head. That's when you cried in the woods because you knew that you didn't deserve his praise since you did nothing.

But Asta was there, comforting you and motivating you. That's when you fell harder for the ash-blonde boy. Although he's an idiot, he's still a good boy and really good at comforting others.

"I did everything to comfort you just for you to notice me. I tried talking to you but you're ignoring me, every time I'm going to approach you, you would instantly avoid me and go to Vanessa nee-san. I'm always inviting you to go to a mission together because I wanted to be with you and see you every day."

Your heart was now beating furiously that you can tell that Asta can hear your beating heart. You can feel the butterflies in your stomach and you were beyond ecstatic to know that Asta looks at you like how you look at him.

He already noticed you a long time ago, you didn't know that Asta's been doing all along is just for you to notice him. But he didn't know that you actually felt the same way.

You pushed Asta away from you to face him. He was bewildered for a moment then you glide your hands on his cheeks. Asta blushed at your sudden action but you smiled at him tenderly.

"I already noticed you a long time ago, Asta," you confessed, which makes his eyes widen in shock.

"I already like you, I don't know when and how I just did. Do you think I'm ignoring you when you talk to me? No, I just... I don't know what should I say to you because I'm too nervous to talk since I like you. Whenever you approach me, I would go straightly towards Vanessa-san because I don't know what I should do, you're making me a nervous wreck every time you get close. And to why I'm always agreeing to go on a mission with you because... I also wanted to be with you and see you every day." Your tears that were building in your eyes were now streaming on your cheeks.

You were crying because of joy, you were so ecstatic to know that he also likes you. You thought that you won't ever be noticed by someone as clever as him but that's the opposite of what you have concluded.

"(Name)..." Asta leaned forward, resting his forehead on yours.

"I like you," he softly said, smiling and kissed your temple.

"I like you too, Asta," you giggled then cupped his cheeks.
