Work Text:
As One combs through her hair, she only thought about one thing, her first date. Today was going to be one of the best days of her life..and yet the most frightening. She's never been on a date before, let alone a relationship. Three confessed to her about 4 weeks ago and they've been taking it slow. Three absolutely adores one and took the courage yesterday to ask her out on a real date to go stargazing at a new park. One remembered how excited she felt and accepted, but now when Three is on her way in 5 minutes, she feels scared.
She wants to look as best as possible, even if it's a simple date. She's wearing a long sleeved dress with a beautiful oversized cardigan and small heeled boots to complete the look. She's also touched up her makeup more than usual, even though Three says she's beautiful either way with or without makeup. One has always felt a little self conscious and thinks it's necessary to look more put together for an outing.
"Okay..I hope I look fine..I hope Three thinks so too. I bet she's gonna look beautiful as always." One giggled to herself.
Then her phone dings, it's from Three. It reads " heyyy sweetie!! I am omw to ur place in abt 3 mins. see you then <3" One smiled and replied back.
"hi three!!!!! can't wait! see u soon :)" One feels like she kinda fumbled a bit but she knows Three understands One wants to take things slow. As much as One is trying to seem excited, she's nervous she'll mess up. All these scenarios play in her head. What if she looks ugly, what if she doesn't look dressed appropriately enough, what if she falls on her face, what if she gets her outfit dirty, what if she says the wrong thing, what if she takes things too slow and Three gets annoyed, what if- then knocks are heard.
One wonders how long she's been standing there, she panics and checks the time and worries Three has been knocking for awhile. She looks at herself one final time and sprints to the door, knocking over her small tea table in the process. She scatters to pick it up and then she opens the door and smiles.
"Sorry, I was just uhm.. fixing something up- heh."
"One, hey sweet girl!" Three exclaims excitedly. "Wow..One, you look stunning."
"R-Really?-"
"Of course, One. You always look stunning."
"Thanks, Three..you look pretty too."
Three is wearing a sweater and a long sleeved shirt underneath, paired with some nice jeans and boots. Her hair is kept back in a low ponytail she wears when she lounges around. Her curls make her stand out alot. Her freckles compliment her face perfectly, and her smile is bright as day.
"Thank you. I also brought you these."
Three exchanges beautiful blue flowers, infact it's Ones favorite flower, the midnight star. She remembered she talked about her favorite flower way before her and Three even dated. She takes the flowers gently and gives a look of sorrow.
"You..you remembered the flowers I liked."
"Of course I did, One. How could I forget?" Three smiled.
One smiled back and blushed immensely.
"Thanks.."
"You're so welcome. C'mon, let's go on our date."
"Great idea."
Three takes One's small hand and they begin to walk together. While they were walking, One tucks the flowers in her hair and giggles to herself. Three looks behind her and smiles at what she witnessed.
"Y'know, One. I really meant what I said when you looked stunning..I mean, you always look so beautiful and put together. It makes you glow."
One blushed, oh my gosh she keeps complimenting her. She'll turn into a strawberry at this point.
"O-OH, I- thanks..heh I uhm..I thought I looked too basic for our date or something, y'know.."
"Sweetie, you look wonderful. If anything I look basic, just look at me. I'm over here wearing a sweater and jeans." Three laughed to herself.
One giggled too.
"No, Three. You look perfect. You always look perfect to me."
Three blushed and looked away for a brief moment before making eye contact again.
"Thank you, you're a sweet girl."
One couldn't help but break eye contact herself and blush harder. Three noticed and giggled. They continued to keep walking to the local town many algebraliens go to, until Three saw something.
"WOAAH, COTTON CANDY!!" Three exclaimed excitedly.
One looked confused and saw what Three was excited about. A cotton candy stand. One tilted her head in confusion.
"Do you want some, One?" Three smiled.
"Oh, uhm..what's cotton candy?"
Three's jaw dropped.
"You don't know what cotton candy is??"
"Not exactly."
One suddenly felt nervous, like as if Three was gonna judge her, but instead...
"You've gotta try some, I'm sure you'll love it!!"
One felt relieved and nodded.
"Cotton candy is one of my favorite treats, I'm surprised you haven't tried any, One!"
"I don't eat much sweets.." One said shyly while looking down.
"That's okay, I'm pretty sure cotton candy is rarely seen here anyway. I'm more of a chocolate fan."
Three ordered a giant stick of cotton candy, it was a mix of pink and a light blue. The colors reminded One of her and Three so she smiled at the thought.
"Here, One! take a bite."
One chuckled shyly and took a small piece, she put it in her mouth and looked around towards the ground. Analyzing. Three stared at her with excitement. One's eyes then lit up and she gasped.
"Wow! this tastes amazing!"
"I know, right! I'm glad you like it!"
They both began to pick at the cotton candy while walking and talking. One felt so alive and comforted while Three was enjoying herself just as much too. They then came across a familiar friend who walked past them.
Five.
Five was walking with their phone in hand and noticed the pair walking right after going past them. They stopped in their tracks and looked at them with a shocked and semi-mad expression. Specifically towards Three.
"Three???"
Three turned around and her eyes widened a bit. One turned around too and was confused. She looked at Three's expression and felt something was wrong.
"Five..uh-"
"You said you couldn't hangout today and yet you're here hanging out with One???"
One began to worry a bit and felt anger rise up her a little. Was Five trying to ruin their date??? Three slyly rolled her eyes. She should've been more sneaky.
"Alright fine, yeah. I lied. Sorry."
Five crossed their arms and looked mad until their face softened a bit.
"Y'know, you coulda just told me you were going on a date Three.
Three blushed. One's eyes widened. Their relationship was meant to be secret, maybe this date was a bad idea. Or they really were just bad at hiding things.
"UH- DATE?? WHAT ARE YOU-"
Five chuckled.
"Wow you and One are not good at hiding things. Me and the others have been knowing you guys were seeing eachother."
One and Three looked at eachother and blushed.
"We're just- we're just- hanging out and.." One couldn't even finish her sentence and went quiet due to being flustered.
"W-Who told you guys???" Three pointed to Five.
"Well, Six overheard it awhile ago and she couldn't keep a secret. But relax, I don't care I mean..I'm happy you guys finally started dating."
"Finally?-" One said quietly.
"I had been suspecting you and Three were y'know..." Five did a two and two together motion as they spoke.
"Damn it." Three said as she pinched her nose.
"Were we really that obvious -" One's voice was a bit higher than usual.
Five nodded. Though they did roll their eyes.
"Alright well, you guys can rest easy now knowing that we know and all that stuff. Yeah. But just have a good date I guess." Five said in a sassy tone.
Three sighed and gave a a weak thumbs up.
"Thanks."
"And Three, damn it next time just tell me!! No need to air me."
Three chuckled and waved the air.
"Sorry, sorry."
Five huffed and walked away. Even though they were sassy about it, deep down they were happy for those 2.
"You okay, sweetie?" Three chuckled.
"Now I am. I'm just surprised how we made it THAT obvious."
"I guess our feelings were too strong to hide."
They gave a hug and laughed about the whole small encounter with Five, continuing their walk. And of course, continuing to eat their delicious cotton candy.

Few hours into their date, they were finally stargazing together. Pointing out the coolest looking stars and talking about their facts. They were both laying on the grass holding hands. One sighed to herself.
"This is amazing, Three."
"It is."
Three turned to her side and rested her head on her palm. Admiring One.
"Wanna know something, sweet girl?"
One turned her head towards Three. Both making eye contact.
"These stars are pretty, but.."
Three gently grabbed One's chin. Her eyes sparkled and she felt her ears began to go hot. Three was so touchy, and she loved every minute of it.
"Y-Yeah?"
"They aren't as pretty as you. You're the brightest star in my life. I really mean it!"
One's eyes widened and felt like she was gonna tear up. She couldn't help herself and turned away shyly, Three was a bit shocked by the reaction. She then heard a soft sniffle. Three gasped and scooted closer.
"One??- what's wrong, was it something I said??"
One sniffled a bit more and shook her head.
"I-I'm sorry...I just..I'm"
One couldn't even speak due to choking up on her words. Three held her body gently and brushed through her hair.
"Hey...what's the matter..?"
"I'm ruining this date...s-sorry." One said as she desperately tried to wipe her tears.
"What?? no, One. You're not ruining anything. I promise."
"I feel like a b-baby for crying but...why are you always so nice to me..even..after..."
Three shushed her gently.
"Hey...that's all behind us now, okay? You don't need to keep thinking about the incident between us. We apologized, we moved on, and I realized all that time I had feelings for you anyway."
"But I-"
"But nothing, One. None of that stopped me from liking you, so why should I stop now? That was years ago. You changed for the better and you're the sweetest girl ever."
"You always call me sweet." One sniffled.
"Because you are." Three chuckled.
Three intertwined her hands in One's, helping her sit up and holding her in her arms. One is smaller than Three, so she fit perfectly.
"One, I tell you these nice things because I mean them. You're brave, you're resilient, bright, smart, beautiful, perfect, the brightest star I know."
One smiled a little.
"And the truth is..I love you."
One's eyes widened a little, Three gulped wondering if an I love you was too soon, but she felt it was needed because of One crying.
"I love you, too."
It then went quiet besides One's small sniffles. They gave eachother a look and Three leaned in and gave a certain stare as if she was saying if this is okay to do. One knew what was happening and closed her eyes and leaned in too. They came closer until their lips touched. A wonderful kiss. One smiled in the process as Three pulled her closer gently, caressing her face. One laid back down on the grass as Three got on top of her, kissing her more. They both didn't mind it. Infact, they enjoyed it. One was caressing Three's back while Three was roaming her hands around One's hips. Kissing soon turned into a gentle make out session.
Three made her way towards One's neck and left soft marks on her. One closed her eyes and felt like she was floating on a warm cloud. She let out small noises of pleasure that even Three was surprised to hear. Three then stopped and kissed her lips again. They both started panting and realized how heated things got. One's makeup was messy, her neck covered in love marks and she was blushing like crazy. Three's hair was also messy, lipstick marks left on her face from one's makeup, she was full of flush.
"O-One..fuck I'm sorry I-"
"No, Three..I..that was amazing."
"Really?"
One giggled and wiped her makeup a little.
"I probably look crazy but yes I do mean it.."
Three chuckled and wiped One's lips.
"You sure? I think I got too heated. Your neck is already close to a purple color."
"I swear, I'm positive. I didn't know you were like that, Three." One giggled more.
Three smirked.
"Guess I'm full of surprises."
They exchanged a hug in the process. Both fixing each other's appearance and laughing about the whole thing.
"I really do love you, One."
"I love you more, Three."

As Three walked One home, it was quiet. But the good kind of quiet. When they finally made it to One's place, One stopped to turn around..
"Three?"
Three hummed in response.
One got on her tippy-toes and hugged Three. Wrapping her arms around Three's neck. Three sighed happily and hugged back.
"Thank you for this date..it was amazing."
"Awe, One...of course. I wanna thank you too for willing to go out with me. Not to mention you're a great kisser." Three teased.
One hit her playfully and giggled.
"Yeah, yeah."
"I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
One nodded as she blushed.
"I can't wait."
Three grabbed One's chin and kissed her lips again. One melted in the kiss and they both pulled away after about 10 seconds. She tastes like cinnamon.
"Night, One."
"Night, Three."
Three waved goodbye and so did One. She eventually headed inside her home and closed the door, touching her lips and remembering Three's kiss. She walked to her mirror down the hallway and looked at her neck. It was full of hickies, then One remembered the flower in her hair and pulled it out. She kissed it and set it down in a glass full of water nearby.
"I love her so much..."
