As they talked more about their plan for the next month and so, dusk soon arrived. Once again, the duo of Ian and Fiona walked the opposite way of the other three, prompting the trio to sigh.
-x-
"I-ian," Fiona stuttered as she called out her name. This makes the brunette stop doing what he is currently doing, namely her, as the blonde rarely calls out his name during one of the 'nightly' sessions.
"What is it?" he asked, his fingers on her robe as he was in the process of removing her clothing before she called out his name.
"Do you see what is going on with the other three?" Fiona asked, which made the bespectacled genius let out a tired sigh.
"You mean watching them flirting but not actually flirting, and how the two girls want to claim Kell's V-card, then yes, I see it," he put it bluntly. It was painful to watch, in his opinion. Thankfully, his own love life is not like theirs, or he will commit suicide.
"Do you think we should help them get together?" "No, it is better to let it run its course," Ian shot down the idea immediately. While playing matchmaker seems easy in drama or movies, it is not the same in real life.
"But if we don't do something to push them together, they might skirt the topic for the rest of their life, and I don't think I can watch them doing that any longer," Fiona tried to persuade him.
Certainly, Ian sees the appeal of getting them together, but it is not enough to get him to be a matchmaker. Fiona seemed to realize it as well and she decided to use another method, namely bribing.
"If you help me, I let you do what you want during this rest week and training week," his eyes brightened up, as a deadly smile formed on his face.
"Anything?" the question felt like it was coming from an arrow and saying yes would make it hit her, but she just could not stand them doing whatever they had been doing any longer. She is just that desperate.
"Yes," the smile grew wider as he held his hand, "You have a deal, Miss Fiona, I am going to help them get together. But now, let us talk about the deposit, shall we?"
Thrown garments and a girlish shriek are more than enough to tell about what happened during the 'deposit talk'.

"So, who do you want to be together with Kell, again?" Ian asked the blonde, who looked at him weirdly.
"It best if they all get together, all three of them, right," the last word did not seem like a question so he nodded quickly.
However, he was surprised to see that Fiona was not averse to having more than one partner. Then again, this is a fantasy world, so things like polygamy might not be looked off by inhabitants after all.
"I will talk with Kell, and you will talk with the girls," Ian laid out his plan. "Then we pushed them to have a date, an actual one instead of those friendly hangouts.
If we need to be more drastic, locking them inside an empty room or booking an inn room for them would be ideal,"
Fiona nodded, now came the hardest part for the matchmaking duo, talking to the others.

"Kell, my friend, I would like to ask you a very important question," Ina asked, making the bigger male stand up all of a sudden.
"Say no more. Who are we going to kill?" anyone who did not know of their history would have balked and maybe did a spit take.
However, the two once planned a murder, and did it, blaming it on a broken car part. Which is true. After all, if the brake suddenly did not work, then Mr. Prat would not have died, but that is a story for another time.
"No, not yet anyway," one could never be sure if they will not have to result to murder, "I just want to ask about your feelings for Lisa and Ana,"
Seeing him coughing suddenly while blushing red, Ian knew what he thought of them.
"W-what do-does, this ha-have to do with anything?" he asked while stuttering. Ian decided to not be a jerk and went for the blunt route.
"They want your V-card, my friend," Kell seemed not caught up to what he sa- no, he was blushing even harder, which Ian thought to be impossible.
"You are not serious, are you?" he tried to deflect it, however, Ian was in a warpath. After all, 2 and a half weeks of bullying Fiona is in the line.
"Yes, Fiona had already confirmed it," 'And we have to witness the look they gave you and vice-versa,' he kept the thought to himself, for now.
"B-but, if I have to choose, it might break the team!" 'Oh, so that is what is been going on,' he could see the oaf sacrificing his love life to make sure the team would not break apart from something called drama. Unfortunately, he got one thing wrong.
"If that is the case, then don't," Kell looked at him weirdly, forcing Ian to explain, "Polygamy is accepted in this world, so having more than one partner is okay,"
"B-but, th-the two of them might not agree," he tried to put up a weak argument, one Ian could easily destroy with the blunt hammer.
"Have you asked them?" his defense was shattered like glasses, making him look anywhere but at him.
"Huh," Ian sighed, "Both Fiona and I have already planned a date for the three of you. Be there or I will spread the true story of a 14-year-old wetting himself just because he was too afraid to go to the toilet," Ian threatened the oaf, who nodded like a woodpecker against a tree trunk.
"Good, I will see how it is going with Fiona," he said, leaving the room and Ian who seemed to be questioning all of his decisions.
-x-
"So, how is your part?" Ian asked Fiona, who rolled her eyes.
"You have no idea how much they try to deny giving Kell the 'lustful gaze'" or in other words, fuck eyes, "But then I persuade them to go on the date," the angelic smile could not fool the genius, though.
"You blackmailed them," Ian stated.
"I blackmailed them," Fiona confirmed it with no remorse in her voice.
"Looks like we really are a match made in heaven," he said before kissing the blonde, his tongue exploring the confines of her mouth.
With them being inside an inn room, they are not afraid to be more, lavascious.
