Hey, look, I actually got a fic done EARLY today!

 

 

“Uhrmacher.”

“Yes, Johanna?”

“Why are you throwing rocks at my window?”

“Pebbles, actually. I wouldn’t throw a rock at your window; my intent wasn’t to break it.”

“And your intent was…?”

“To get your attention so we could talk.”

“About?”

“Anything. Everything!”

“…You didn’t plan what to do once I opened the window, I’m assuming.”

“Well…I was hoping the right words would come to me…”

“Ha, ha, ha! Uhrmacher…you’re impossible!”

“W-well, it worked in books, so…”

“I’m not Rapunzel! I’m not going to just throw my hair out the window and drag you up to my room if you call my name a little!”

“I was thinking of something closer to Romeo and Juliet.”

“Uhrmacher, Uhrmacher, wherefore art thou Uhrmacher?”

“My father wanted me to take over the family business.”

“What?”

“Why I’m Uhrmacher. My father named me that because he wanted me to be a watchmaker.”

“…I see. Is that what you want?”

“Well…it’s a living.”

“You don’t know?”

“Not really. I don’t really know what I want for the future. Well…I know one thing, that is…”

“Oh? What’s that?”

“I’d…like you to be a part of it.”

“…Uhrmacher.”

“Y-yes?”

“…That really is what you’re trying to say, then? You’re not just fooling around?”

“Wh-what made you think I was fooling around??”

“I thought you were just trying to get my attention.”

“W-well I am!”

“To say what?”

“Well…um.”

“…Yes?”

“…I love you?”

“Are you asking if you do love me…?”

“N-no! I mean it! I love you!”

“Uhrmacher, you’re…silly.”

“I’m…I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have—“

“You didn’t let me give a response.”

“Um. Yes, then?”

“I do, too.”

“…What?”

“I love you.”

“…Johanna…”

“Would you like to go have a picnic at the river?”

“…Yes. Very much.”

“Then I’ll come down. We can buy some food on the way?”

“S-sounds like a plan.”

“All right. Wait there. Oh, and Uhrmacher?”

“Yes?”

“Tilting your head that way is cute, but I’d let your head move a little now. You’ll get a crick in your neck.”
