Your eyes were closed as you sat in the middle of the field, silently feeling the gentle breeze that brought with it the fragrant smell of blooming flowers.

You certainly loved spring and the colors and happiness it brought with itself, if only you had some of it. You wanted to be happy, really, but it just didn't seem possible. You had never thought that your life would be reduced to this, falling head over heels for the 'unlovable' Gauche Adlai...

You didn't really know how it happened though and if you were to tell it to someone, they would certainly think of you as someone mad which was entirely wrong by the way. Yes, everybody thought of him as some emotionless freak when he was one of the most emotional people you had ever seen.

You truly did not know why it happened, maybe it was because of that rare yet wonderful smile of his or rather his love and affection for his sister, or... It was just him, just Gauche, and himself. But alas, your affections were in vain as you knew better than to expect him to love someone. Your love for him was just like in those poems that you read, secret and unrequited.

You took a deep breath before focusing on the task at hand which was watching over the orphanage kids as they played, they seemed to be enjoying themselves and nothing looked cautious. You idly plucked a flower and began to twirl it in your hand, picking on its petals as you muttered to yourself, he loves me, he loves me not only for it to end on the latter.

"See y/n, even the flower thinks that you are hopeless and miserable." You groaned.

"And why are you hopeless and miserable?" A voice cut in startling you.

You turned around, a hand on your rapidly beating heart, only to find standing there, the person who has occupied your thoughts. Gauche. As if your heartbeat wasn't fast enough, it got even faster as you felt heat rush up to your cheeks.

"And since when do you care? " You playfully asked back, you didn't know how you got the confidence but thankfully your voice did not waver.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked, taking a seat down next to you. "I do care about you..." he said. Your eyes widened as you interpreted what he just said, there's no way he said that. At least you knew that is not what he meant by it. "Always have..." he added in the end but not loud enough for you to hear it.

You turned towards him and found him already looking at you making you falter in your move. You couldn't comprehend the emotion on his face, it wasn't a frequent one like his annoyance or care for Marie, it was different. New.

"You care for my Marie and I appreciate that." He said, his tone softer than usual and you nodded in acknowledgment. See, it wasn't that after all...

You turned your head away, trying not to give away the obvious infatuation that you had with him and the disappointment from his words, and focused on his sister who was happily approaching you and her brother.

"Big brother you are here!" She said with a smile, hugging him as she did. He had his smile on his face, the one that was only for his sister, the one that you admired.

"Look what I made for you! Miss y/n said that you will love it." She said, showing him a daisy crown she had made, his eyes filling with love at the gesture before they flicked towards yours so fast that you thought it was a trick of the light.

"She was right, I do love it." He commented, oblivious of the effect it had on you. You seriously did not know how you were breathing till now but it certainly felt good.

You smiled as you watched her tell him about her week and how intently he listened to it. You watched as he smiled and as his voice was full of love when he spoke to her. It may seem weird to anyone how can someone like Gauche Adlai but for you, it was as clear as a day... Because you liked Gauche Adlai simply for being Gauche Adlai.

A/N: I’m so sorry this took so long! I hope you enjoy it and thank you for requesting! 

"Next time I see you, I'm holding the heck out of your hand." + Gauche 

This wasn't something Gauche had planned whatsoever. Sure he had heard all the stories about falling in love, he had heard people say "Don't worry, there's someone for everyone," but he didn't really believe it. If anything, he had thought that his person was Marie, but here he was, teetering on the edge of falling head over heels for you. When he first met you, he didn't pay you much attention, he was distracted by his thoughts of Marie and his duties as a magic knight, but over time, his thoughts started to drift to you once in a while. He'd wonder what you were doing that day and while on long missions, he would wonder if you missed him. 

He would push the thoughts away however, he didn't have time for trivial matters such as love, or crushes; and besides, you were comrades, nothing more. 

He was on one such mission when he realized he liked you; he had been walking through the center of town and a fortune teller had called out to him, asking if he wanted a free reading. He shrugged and decided what the hell, why not? That was very uncharacteristic of him, but something about today felt different. 

He sat down at her table, quite nervous for some odd reason, and folded his hands in his lap. The woman smiled at him and asked him to pick three cards; she examined them thoughtfully and nodded. "I see." She commented. Gauche blinked, "See what?" She gave him a gentle smile, "You are a very lucky man. I can see that the person you love, loves you as well. You must know who it is, they are very close to you." Despite himself, his heart began beating faster and something uncharacteristic happened. If anyone had said something like this to him a year ago, he probably would have been ecstatically shouting Marie's name, but instead, all he could think of was you. Oh. I see. He gave the fortune-teller some money and went on his way, I need to finish this mission soon. 

He finished the mission in record time and returned to the hideout as soon as he could. Of course, the moment he arrived, happened to be the moment you were about to depart for a solo mission of your own. “Hey.” He said, a bit gruffer than usual. You stopped and studied him curiously, “Yeah Gauche? What’s up?” You were puzzled by the interaction, he had never shown much interest in you before. You grew more puzzled as you noticed the tinge of red that dusted his cheeks. “Next time I see you, I’m holding the heck out of your hand. So you better come home safe.” 

A/N: Thanks for requesting! ❤ 

"I choose you." "Why me?" "Literally everything." w/ Gauche 

Fingers picked strings lightly as you sat with Gauche in his room. He had picked up guitar recently on a whim, he wasn’t much of a singer, but it made nights around the fire lively as Asta tried his best to sing. You watched from his desk as he strummed away, fingers moving deftly across the strings. He felt your eyes on him and glanced up, a silent question in his eyes. You shook your head, “Nothing. I just like looking at you.” 

Gauche chuckled, hand moving to cover the slight blush that came to his cheeks. “Really?” You scooted forward to pat his cheek, “Of course. Would I lie to you?” He pursed his lips thoughtfully, “I guess not.” He returned to playing the guitar and you focused your attention on the snow falling through the window. Doubts raced through your mind as you let yourself zone out, was everything here too perfect? 

As if he could sense your thoughts running at a million miles an hour Gauche stopped playing abruptly. “Y/N? Won’t you tell me what’s wrong?” You frowned as you turned to him, almost embarrassed at your impending question. “Why did you choose me?  There are so many other people in this world and I--” Your tangent was cut off by a hand grasping yours, “I choose you.” You fought the urge to pull your hand away, “But, why me?” Gauche smiled, as if it were a ridiculous question, it was funny how a simple smile could ease your insecurities just like that. 

A/N: Of course! Thanks for requesting!! 🥰

“I need you to make me a promise.” “What?” “Pinky promise you’ll love me always.” + Gauche

You had stopped by the Black Bulls hideout looking for Gauche but he was nowhere to be found. Magna found you standing by the front door, arms crossed and a frown upon your face. There was a picnic basket tucked under one arm, you had brought it to surprise your boyfriend and it was annoying that you couldn’t find him. “Hey Y/N, looking for Gauche?” You nodded, “Yes I am. I wanted to spend time with him today but I guess he’s busy.” Magna thought for a moment, thinking of all the places he might go. “He might be in the woods training or something? He left with his grimoire earlier this morning but I haven’t seen him since then.” You nodded thoughtfully, pushing off the wall. “Alright, I’ll go check there. Thank you.” 

It wasn’t that hard to find him once you spotted the beams of light followed by explosions coming through the trees. You picked your way through the trees and found him; he looked like a mess, sweat dripping down his neck, hair sticking in all directions, he seemed frustrated. You smiled and shook your head, he'd been working hard recently. "Wanna take a break?" You called, holding up the picnic basket. Gauche turned, catching sight of you with a smile, "You are truly a blessing, I'm starving." 

You chuckled as he strode over and helped you spread out the blanket, "I figured as much, you've been working hard lately!" You ate your fill and chatted, Gauche eventually laying down to stare up at the clouds. "Thanks for coming out here today." He said simply, making you smile; the matter-of-fact way he went about life was refreshing, too many other people in the world made life complicated.
