Wha-

"I want to hold you forever!"

The hero shouted to the villainess as she fled from the scene of another failed mission, she turned around confused and stared at him, "What?!!" she shouted back alarmed, the hero got down on one knee and placed his hands out Infront of him,

"I said I want to hold you forever!"

"I heard what you said don't repeat such embarrassing words." Iris shouted covering her face to hide her blush. The hero stared at her intensely, it has been a year sense he went from a nameless orphan to a man that was chosen by the sacred sword to be the hero of the lands and stop the evil Iris from dooming them all. However while doing this job he discovered that Iris doesn't really pose much of a threat and instead is just a goofy person with a very overly ambitious dream. She's so cute. the hero thought to himself as he watches her face go into a panic. Everyone present was confused by this confession, this is supposed to be the big fight between the hero and the bad guy, when did this become a romantic drama.

The hero stretched out his arms,

"I"

"WANT"

"TO"

"HOLD"

"YOU"

Iris ducked and covered her head as if a bombshell was being dropped and ran away, "I'll get you next time Hero guy!!" she stumbled inside her hot air balloon before fly away to her castle. Hero smirked at this and couldn't help but chuckle.

Everyone in the crowd of once panicked civilians stared off into the night sky, confused at what they just witnessed.

Iris laid panicked in her bed with a pillow over her head.

"What did that no brain halfwit of a hero mean by that, he wants to hold me, stupid!" she shouted throwing the pillow at the wall.

"Did you call?" her butler asked,

"Not you stupid, the other stupid!"

"I see, then I shall not disturb you." The butler Baily then left while closing the door behind him.

"You know what, some chocolate cake and books, could really do the trick right now." she mumbled clapping her hands twice to signal she wants her favorite dessert. her servants quickly brought it for her. Iris reached under her pillow and pulled out a book, "Love at first sight." Iris whimsically muttered out the title of the book as though she was being whisked away into the arms of her long lost lover,

"Oh Penelope, I'm sure you don't have to deal with some strange hero hitting on you in the middle of a fight. You get to be a pretty princess that all loves, with a love interest that's so attractive." she sings thinking back to how basic of a man the hero is, as though he would fit the definition of an ordinary Joe. She spent the whole night reading her favorite romance novel before dropping her head violently fast on the pillow to go to sleep.

Unlike Iris, the hero slept like a baby and woke up refresh ready to start another day fighting Iris' evil goons. He woke up before any of the other members in his party and started training. "I still can't believe you did that kid." a man dressed in archery equipment asked, he had blonde hair and green eyes, he's often compared to the handsome elves in girl romance stories.

"Do what." hero responded duly, still focusing his attention to the dummies,

"I mean confess your love to the bad guy, you know what the citizens are saying?"

"No, I also don't care."

"They're saying you plan on abandoning us and become the villainess's underling."

"How are you hearing rumors so fast, this just happened last night? Don't tell me you were out at the tavern again."

"T-that's not the point." Zeke responded flustered,

"If turning my backs on the people is how I'm going to date Iris then I will, besides I never asked to be the hero." Hero responded duly,

"You can't say that, weren't you excited when you first got that sword?"

"I was until I finally saw who the big bad evil guy was, and her goofy personality wasn't intimidating."

"When did you even start liking her."

"Last month."

"What! What happened last month that made you like her so fast!"

"The cave incident." he stated a matter of factly.

One month ago, there was a fight in cave, Iris was busy mining this dangerous energy crystal that was ruining the environment around her, Hero and Zeke just so happed to come across this and then a fight ensued.

"You think you can stop me." Iris shouted as the two-sword fought until they were leaving the main area and ended up deeper in the caves, Hero was noticing it was getting more and more dangerous the further they went and tried warning Iris. One final swing of the sword and Iris stumbled backwards, accidentally bumping into some loose rock, Iris clutched her head not noticing the predicament she was now in.

"Watch Out!" Hero shouted shoving Iris to the side, the boulders landed behind him blocking their only path of escaping. "Are you okay." Hero asked Stradling Iris between him, her soft white dress acting as a cushion for the fall, "Y-yeah I'm fine." she responded shocked that her life was saved by her nemesis. Hero realized how close they were and slowly got up, "Let's look for a way out." Hero said, pulling out a glowing crystal from out of his pocket. The inside of this cave was difficult to navigate through and a little narrow,

"Eeep!"

"Stop holding onto me, it's a weakling." Iris said to a shaking Hero who thought they just ran into an over leveled troll, "No you won't understand the pain of having to repeatedly fight an over-leveled enemy,"

"A what?"

"That's not important at the moment." Hero said slowly moving away from Iris, they then worked together to defeat the monster, Hero couldn't help but notice how elegantly Iris looked as she fought in her fluffy dress and swung the sword around, "is this how the villager feel when they watch us fight?" Hero mumbled to himself as he watched the elegant sword dance of the you maiden, he felt lucky that he's able to witness this for the first time in his life. Soon after the fight they were silent as they searched for a way out. Hero couldn't help but fawn over the smell of Iris' perfume, it felt like vanilla cake and pastries, he felt his hands reaching out to touch her but stopped himself, what are you doing she's your enemy for crying out loud. Iris turned around to face him, "Don't tell anyone you saved me." she demanded, worried about how this would affect her image, Hero agreed, Iris than pointed to an opening in the roof, "lift me up then I would lift you, I won't abandon you so don't worry." Iris explained,

"You won't be able to reach me from up there, hold on one moment." Hero then picked Iris up bridal style and charged up his jump, he than released the energy and launched himself into the clouds, "Oops" he said, Iris was shocked at this burst of power, she hasn't seen anything like this before, "Is this the power of the sacred sword?"

"No, I always had this much energy, that's actually why I'm able to use the sacred sword."

Iris was shocked, she can use this energy to monopolize over the industry, and become rich. Soon gravity caught up to the two and they landed back down to earth.

"And after that day I felt my love for adventure die, and my desire for romance bloom."

"Woah so poetic." Zeke sarcastically responded clapping his hands.

"Now I feel dull inside."

"I have realized lack of expression these past few weeks. You've been acting like a season adventurer that's ready to retire."

"I feel that way." Hero responded.
