Description
You and Arthur's two kids had made your way to the park in the neighborhood. It was empty as it normally was since a lot of the people who lived in the apartments didn't have kids, well, none that you knew anyways. Alfred had an excited expression across his face while Matthew just looked more curious.
"Here we are, boys," you tell them. "Now would you like to play fetch with Rusty or do you want to play on the playground?"
"Playground!" Alfred exclaims, already having a dash towards the slide. You smiled, they were such cute kids. You looked down and noticed Matthew didn't go after his brother. "Something wrong Matthew?" The light-headed blonde looked up at you.
"Um, no, but do you mind if I play with Rusty?"
"Sure, no problem. Do you want to play fetch with him?"
He nodded slightly and you pulled a tennis ball out of the bag you were carrying with you the whole time( though the author was too lazy to write that in. ). "You can throw this across the field and he'll get it and bring it back. Watch this. Rusty!" you called to get your dog's attention since he strayed off with Alfred. The golden retriever dashed over and looked at the ball in your head, his tongue hanging out. You launched the tennis ball across the field and Rusty ran right after it. The ball didn't go very far though, throwing really wasn't your thing.
In a few moments the golden retriever was already back and dropped the ball at your feet. You bent down to Matthew's height. "See?" The little boy smiled and picked up the slobbery ball, but he didn't really seem to mind. Matthew threw it across the field and you noticed throwing wasn't his thing either. But nevertheless, he still played fetch with your dog while Alfred was enjoying himself on the swings now, but he was having a little trouble actually getting the motion. "I'll be right over here, okay Matthew?" The boy nodded and you made your way over to where Alfred was trying to get the back-and-forth motion.
"Do you need a little help there, Alfred?"
"Maybe, _______________..." he said, not want to admit his defeat. You smiled and stood behind him, pushing his back. The kids were so adorable and you almost wanted to call them your own.

By now you can guess you and Arthur were the best of friends and his kids loved when you babysat them. He still kept his consistent schedule of being at your workplace, but you didn't mind. You always waited his table and he was your favorite customer. He enjoyed your presence quite a bit too.
One of these days that rolled by was one that kind of changed everything between you two. You were sitting in your living room eating lunch on Thursday in your pajamas. Your boss was kind enough to give you the day off since you worked so hard all the time. You willingly accepted and were now feasting yourself with a ham sandwich and milk while you watched .
As you enjoyed your day, you heard a knocking on your door. You got up from where you sat and made your way over to the door. You unlocked it and opened it up to see Arthur. Was he blushing? You couldn't really tell because he already started speaking to you.
"So, um, _______________, my boss invited me on his boat and said I could bring someone along if I liked. W-Would you like to come?" he asked, stuttering on the last part. You started to feel blush creep up onto your face and you had to keep yourself from dropping your jaw. Did he ask you on a date, or was it just as friends? "Uh, yeah sure, Arthur. I would love to accompany you."
"Oh, lovely!" he exclaimed, smiling. "So it's Saturday at 8, is that okay?"
You nodded. "Yeah that's fine, but I don't have a car…"
"Oh well that's fine, I'll drive you. Be ready at 7:30 please."
"Will do, Arthur. See you then."
You two of you both gave small waves and you shut the door. You slid down the door until you were on the floor beneath your feet. A lot of feelings you had about him came to mind. You weren't sure if you liked him back or not though.
Author's (NOT ARTHUR'S) Notes:
Ooh I just love where I'm taking this! In the 4 hour car ride I had to Tennessee (even though I was asleep most of the time) I had lots of ideas as to where I was taking this story since I was just going to wing it. But now I know exactly how this is going to be ending. C: I hope you all are enjoying yourselves and I love your feedback. Whenever I open up my messages it's always filled with favorites and comments which makes me feel very happy that I'm satisfying you! Remember to read my latest journal and sign up for the Reader x Canon contest I'm hosting. Peace out!
