Only You Chapter 1 The Date (A/N. Harpey goes by she/her or they/them, and Anonymous goes by they/it. So for simplicity's sake, Harpey will be strictly going by she/her in this story, and Anon they/them. uwu'') Harpey sighed softly as she and her friend, Anonymous, walked down the path of a field near her home town. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, there was a light breeze, the air smelled of beautiful flowers in full bloom, everything was absolutely peachy. The only thing wrong was Harpey's never ending nervousness. You see, Harpey planned on asking Anon to be her date at the town's annual dance-gathering. It was never meant to be anything fancy, folks just show up and have a good time. There are games set up for the little ones, the older people have a dance floor set out, and on occasion there's a live band or orchestra, if a group of musicians happen to volunteer. The food was always lovely, and it was really just a time for the town to get together and mingle. And while you didn't *need* a date to go to the dance, (honestly most folks just went with a friend group and were happy with that) it was nice having someone to dance with. Anon spared a glance from their phone at Harpey, who was clearly nervous but very good at hiding it. The two had known each other for nearly a year now, and Anon had gotten very good at picking up on what Harpey was feeling. Honestly it was like she was an open book at times. But regardless.. Anon glanced back at their phone, slightly thankful Harpey couldn't tell where they were looking. Small blessings for having no visible pupils. After a couple more minutes of walking in the comfortable silence, it was noticed that the silence was suddenly... Less, comfortable. Anon sighed. "Penny for your thoughts, Harpsichord?" Anonymous asked. After learning that Harpey could actually play the harpsichord, that had become their nickname for the Elwing. Harpey sighed softly, blushing faintly. She really did like the nickname, it made her feel special. "Um.. So, you know how there's gonna be this big dance in town?" She asked, looking over at Anonymous. The other smiled, and nodded, eyebrows raised. They had an idea as to where this was going. "Mh-hm. Wasn't plannin' on going alone though, why?" Harpey grinned slightly, her confidence gaining at that. "Would you care to accompany me? I'd hate to go alone." Anon stopped walking, pretending they were looking at their phone as they mulled it over. Honestly it was a tough choice. On one hand, they *really* didn't want to be in that big of a crowd, at least not any time soon. It was just too much to pay attention to. But on the other hand.. This may be their only time to even consider confessing their love for Harpey.. The love they'd had since the moment they saw the Elwing. They sighed, and nodded, putting their phone in their pocket. "Sure, I'll tag along. Don't expect me to be much of a dancer though." They grinned. Harpey just absolutely beamed, and instantly hugged Anon tightly. "Ohh!~ Thank you Mousy! I'm so glad you said yes!!" She squealed. Anon chuckled, and returned the hug. "Now, the only condition on me going is that I don't wear a dress. I'm just not feeling it right now." They explained as soon as Harpey let go. She nodded. "Sure, sure. It's supposed to be just Sunday casual dress anyway, so a nice pair of blue-jeans a modest shirt ought to do." She explained. "While I do plan on wearing something a little fancy myself, I think we're different enough we could easily go with the opposites effect." She started rambling on about the whole fashion side of everything, causing Anon to chuckle and shake their head. The two continued their walk, making all the arrangements they'd need to for the night, even planning ahead if some things went wrong, as they were sure they would. You really never know with these kinds of things, especially when you're different.. As the two walked on, they never noticed that they were being watched from afar.. ~~~TO BE CONTINUED~~~ --------------------------------------- wHOO SORRY THAT'S SO LONG :"D Hope you like it tho!
