Dreams

It's finally here. The moment he's been waiting for and nothing was going to stop him now. Months of fighting to get stronger, months of constant worrying from his goddess, months of feeling his own stats rise. The moment he waited for so long was now right in front of him.

He couldn't move. His legs refused. Was he nervous? Did he feel uncertain with himself inside? What was it that kept him from moving? Was it her beautiful blonde glowing hair? Maybe her delicate golden eyes that not even shiny coins could match. Whatever it was, it made his legs freeze in place, as if a spell had been placed on them.

"Come on." He told himself. "You've spent so much time trying to reach her, you can't chicken out now."

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he began to feel his legs slowly move inch by inch. It only took him just his first step for her to turn around a notice him.

She had been standing at the top of the staircase that lead to the spiral tower known to everyone as Dungeon. Most of the adventurers that went in were gone already; leaving only just him and her and the streets of the merchants who attempted to sell their wares.

His eyes shot straight towards hers. Once more, his legs froze. He knew it was too good to be true. He felt her eyes glued on him. It must really be a spell or worse; he just didn't reach her level yet.

"Easy now, easy." He thought. "Remember all those other times you panicked when around her. Now remember how different you were back then. You've got the level, you manage to reach a floor higher than anyone else and you even managed to get your goddess' family going."

He looked back up at her. This time, she seemed closer. Looking down, he noticed that her feet were on the steps closer to him. He then realized that her feet were still moving, getting closer to him and finally….next to him.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

He began to feel time she spoke, it felt like an angel was speaking to him. But it began to remind him of the times she saved him. The big one being with the minotaur. Although he redeemed himself after the second attack, he still felt some guilt in not being able to stop the first one.

"Are you okay?" She asked again. "You're acting like this is your first time entering the dungeon."

"Eh...er...well." He struggled to pick words in his head. "I um….wanted….."

"Wanted to?" She began prying into his words.

"Just say it dummy!" He forced himself. "Will you come with me really quick?" He blurted out, catching the ears of the nearby merchants.

He noticed her face turn a little red. He wasn't sure if she was embarrassed or maybe...she actually wanted to follow him?

It didn't take long for her to politely nod her head before grabbing his hand and allowing him to lead. Taking a deep breath, he sprinted down through the streets and alleyways until he reached a small tower that was connected to the old broken down wall that guarded most of the city. He knew it well, considering his home, well former home, was located in the church not to far from where they were.

Most of the steps they climbed were very sturdy, some, on the other hand, nearly collapsed after his first step. He knew in his mind that it was a good idea with him leading first. After all, he wouldn't want her getting scratched up.

"What are we doing here?" She finally asked as they reached the top of the tower.

"Well um…" Once again, he was at a lost for words. "I wanted to show you something really quick."

Lucky for him, the sun was still rising, but will it be enough to take her off her feet?

He slowly led her over to the window that overlooked the entire city of Ontario, at least most of it. But where the sun hit made it look like it was a gem on it's own.

The sun, still rising, gave light to most of the buildings that were sound asleep. The building, Hephaestus owned, had several gilded weapons as decoration on the building. As soon as the light hit, they burst into a magical array of brilliant colors.

He closely looked over at her face and was surprised to see an expression he had never seen before. She was embracing the scenery! Most of her day consisted of fighting monsters to keeping her own goddess away from her. But that was all he knew. He didn't really find out out what else she did. Does she have a secret hobby nobody knows of? Is she boring or is she hard to figure out? Many of these questions popped into his head but one thing was certain, he never felt any more nervous than he already was.

"This is wonderful." She said. "I didn't know a spot like this existed."

"Yeah...well when you live over here for quite sometime, you tend to find places nobody will find you when you want to try and hide from your goddess sometimes." He replied, digging his toe into the ground.

"I think if I knew about this, I would live here." She joked. "Thank you for showing this to me." She smiled before turning around. "I must be off now."

"Wait!" He yelled, stopping her in her tracks.

She turned around to see what was wrong but instead felt a pair of lips hit hers.

His eyes were closed during the time they kissed. His mind was running wild.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! Why did you do that now of all times?" One side of his head said. "Yes! Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes a thousand times yes! I don't care what happens after this! Wait, rephrase that, I do care what happens."

What seemed like hours finally ended with them breaking apart from each other. His face felt red, redder than his eyes, than the blood of a minotaur, than a tomato. She, on the other hand, was blushing nonstop. Now came the question he had been waiting for.

He cleared his throat. "Will…..Will you go out with me?!"

He tighten himself to prepare for her answer. Either yes or no, it still would have a huge impact on his life.

She slowly opened her mouth to speak.

"This is it!" He thought. "Here it comes!"

"My answer is….."

"Bell-kun wake up!" A familiar voice yelled at him.

Bell slowly opened his red eyes to see a small girl jumping up and down on his bed. Her boobs shaking violently that he thought they would fall off. Her black hair seemed like it hit the ceiling and came back down to hit his hands, she always did have long hair.

"Kamisama." Bell groaned as he threw his pillow over his face. "Why are you waking me up this early? I don't have anything planned today. All I want to do is sleep a little more."

Hestia stopped jumping on his bed and placed her hands on her hips.

"Bell-kun, this isn't like you." She declared. "You're always up this early. What's wrong? Huh! Do you have a fever?"

She quickly dropped down on him and began to examine his body, feeling his forehead and hearing his breathing. He knew there wasn't anything wrong with him, he just wanted to sleep. Especially since last night after it took so long getting home from the dungeon.

"That labyrinth really isn't to be played with." He told himself.

"Bell-kun!" Hestia yelled once more. "Bell-kun Bell-kun Bell-kun!" She repeated, slapping her hands on his chest.

Finally, he threw his pillow off his face and sat up, feeling the slap of her hand hit his cheek. Usually it would hurt but since he's gotten stronger, it felt like a fly landed on him.

"Yes, kamisama?" He asked.

"Bell-kun, don't you remember what we're supposed to do today?" She asked him.

"What's today?" He asked.

Hestia smiled proudly. "Today's the day you take me on a date!"

"Oh okay," He sleepily said lying back down. "That sounds like fun." Suddenly his eyes burst wide open. "A date?!"

So I know I have another story going on but I have chapters written ahead for it. As for this one, I thought it'd be fun to write a story for DanMachi since Akame seems to be dying out. But that won't stop me from writing Empire High II for most of you.

Anyway, please leave an awesome review and also favorite/ follow this because you know something good will come out from this. Heiwa!
