“Does that mean you’re alone a lot?” Bernadette asked, picking up one of the chocolate croissants. |

“Mm, I wouldn’t say a lot, but enough.” Viktor bobbed his head as he swallowed. “But I don’t mind it! My parents spend time with me still and, it’s s little silly I think, but sometimes they feel bad and take me to do special things with just the three of us. Last week, we went out to dinner and bowling. Mama even played a bit.” He beamed as he spoke. His mood never seemed to bouy and his smile seemed infallible. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Viktors smile was infectious, Bernadette couldn’t help but smile too. Especially now that she was feeling comfortable and at ease finally.
“That’s cool, I’ve never been bowling before. Is it fun?” She asked. |

“It’s so much fun! You for real have never been?” Viktor asked before glancing at his watch. “Well...are you busy now?” _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Bernadette looked a little surprised, it sounded like he was inviting her out bowling now?
“No?” She answered. |

“Then let’s go. The place we went to isn’t far.” Viktor smiled, going to down his drink quickly. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Really? You’d take me?” Bernadette sputtered, excited and a little overwhelmed. “Are you sure, is it very expensive to go? I only have so much of my allowance left over after buying this uniform.” She rattled off. |

“I invited you, I’d pay of course.” Viktor flapped a hand. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“No, please, it’s okay.” Viktor insisted. “Like I said, I work for my papa sometimes. I have my own money.” He assured. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“If you’re sure...then let’s do it.” Bernadette began with caution but finished with a chirp. She hopped up from her seat and sling her bag over her shoulder, ready to go. |

“Yes! Excellent! I’ll go a little easy on you, only because it’s your first time.” Viktor said as he too leaped up, his knee banging on the table with a loud clatter. He poised his hands to catch whatever might fall and gave a sheepish grin of relief when nothing did. “Let’s go!” _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Bernadette had a blast bowling, though it was not without its mishaps. Viktor had to give her some guidance as she had swung a ball into someone else’s lane. And there was a moment of panic when she grabbed someone else’s ball and get her fingers stuck in it. Bernadette was nothing if awkward, clueless and a little bit of a spaz. But Viktor was very patient and assuring, he never made fun of her and made her feel at ease all afternoon, even as she was teary eyed and panicked while he tried to grease and pry her fingers out of the bowling ball.
After a few matches, it was starting to go dark outside and it was time to call it a night. Bernadette hugged her school blazer close as they stepped out of the bowling alley, getting hit with the chilly evening air.
“Jeez, it was so much warmer inside.” Bernadette remarked. |

Viktor was aimlessly grinning to himself, having had a good time with Bernadette, when he heard her speak. He glanced down at her, and he did have to glance down.
“Are you cold? You don’t have a coat?” He asked, though she obviously didn’t have one on her. That wouldn’t do. He quickly went to shrugging off his jacket. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

It had been two or three weeks of immediate bonding between Bernadette and Viktor. He was easy to get along with and they were already very similar, both patient and good natured, a little spaced out but very sweet to everyone and each other. Bernadette made it a habit to meet with him after practice, even if it was only briefly to talk about their days. Bernadette was still very lonely in the empty studio, so she tried to sponge up any time with Viktor to make the day feel less lonely. But she had saved up some of her allowance and bought a little burner cellphone, it wasn’t much but she could text Viktor any time and he would get back to her right away. It had been mentioned previously her coming over for her dinner, but it was the weekend and it felt like the time to actually make a plan.
Viktor invited her over for dinner Saturday night. Bernadette wasn’t a snappy dresser but she did take into heavy consideration what to wear. She had settled on a yellow corduroy skirterall, a light cream colored cable knit sweater underneath accompanied with dark tights that had little dandelions embroidered on them. Her hair wasn’t really long enough to do much with it, but she made her best attempt at French braids, a pigtail on each side of her face; loose locks of different colors escaping the braid. Topping it off with a dark wine colored batwing cardigan and a beanie with a fluffy pompom on the end, she was out the door.
She followed the map carefully, not minding the angry locals brushing past or scolding her. Eventually she found herself exiting the elevator onto the penthouse floor of a massive building.
“I hope this is the right place...” She uttered to herself, hesitantly stepping out and padding down the hall. |
