Chapter Text
(The next morning, with Hazel.)
Hazel wakes up.
Wanda: What a weird night!
Hazel: *yawns* Tell me about it!
Cosmo: Let's not forget that Dev kissed you on the cheek last night!
Hazel: *blush returns* Uh... you never know, Cosmo! That could've just been a goodnight kiss!
Wanda: Who knows, Hazel. Remember, Dev has been acting differently around you lately.
Hazel: Uh... Right... Well, maybe it doesn't mean that!
(meanwhile, with Dev.)
Dev: WHY DID I DO THAT?!
Peri: Do what? Kiss your crush on the cheek?
Dev: Yes, of course I mean that, Peri!
Au Pair 1: [Mr. Devin, your heart rate's going faster than it was yesterday!]
Dev: That's because I didn't realize how big of a crush I had on Hazel yesterday!
Peri: Thankfully, you didn't wake up late!
Dev: *groans* Let's just get to school.
Peri turns into his headphones form, and Dev puts him on.
Dev: This is gonna be the most awkward day of school I've ever had.
(at school, with Hazel.)
Hazel sees Winn and Jasmine.
Hazel: Hey Winn. Hey Jasmine.
Jasmine: Hey Hazel. What's up?
Winn: Did something happen last night after you returned Au Pair 1 and Au Pair 2 to Dev?
Hazel: Uh... you could say that...
They see Dev walk by, and he sees them, and he quickly walks away, blushing slightly.
Winn: Uh... what?
Jasmine: I'd... rather not question it, Winn.
Hazel: Please don't.
(with Dev.)
Dev slows down once Hazel, Jasmine, and Winn are out of sight.
Dev: Yep, as I thought, that was awkward!
Peri: Dev, you were just passing by them!
Dev: I know, but I'd rather not face Hazel after what I did last night.
Peri: You're not even going to talk to her because of it?
Dev: Nope. I'm way too embarrassed!
Au Pair 2: [What even happened last night? You didn't explain anything to us when you two got home.] (Dev sent the Au Pairs home before he walked Hazel to her apartment.)
Dev: None of your beeswax, Au Pair 2!
Au Pair 1: [Uh... didn't we just pass your class?]
Dev: *facepalms* Dang it! You guys distracted me!
(at recess, with Hazel.)
Hazel finds Dev and his Au Pairs on the playground.
Hazel: Dev?
Hazel's voice startles the red-head. He turns around, and sees her.
Dev: Uh... Hazel! Good to see you!
Hazel: We saw each other this morning, Dev.
Dev: Touche... Uh... lovely weather out here, huh?
Hazel: It's not bad.
The two then go silent after that.
Hazel and Dev: *thinks* Darn it, I've run out of things to talk about.
Dev eventually breaks the silence.
Dev: So, uh, about yesterday...
Hazel: Yeah, yesterday was pretty weird.
Dev: Totally weird! Sorry if I embarrassed you in front of your parents.
Hazel: It's okay.
Hazel notices that Dev doesn't have Peri around his neck at the moment.
Hazel: Hey, where's Peri?
Dev: I don't know. He just said he had stuff to do. Wonder what?
(after school.)
After school, they find Peri, in his human form, talking to some kids.
Percy: Alright, you kids better behave more!
The kids: Okay! Bye, Mr. Cosma!
The kids run off, and Hazel and Dev go over to Percy.
Dev: Peri- I mean, Percy! Where were you?
Percy: I'll explain later, Dev.
Dev: You'd better!
(Later, Percy is back to being Peri.)
Hazel: You haven't used your human disguise in a while, Peri!
Peri: Yeah, well, I didn't really have any reason to up until this point!
Dev: Who even came up with your human name in the first place? Percy is such a dumb name!
Hazel's face saddens when she hears Dev.
Peri: Dev, the name Percy for my human disguise was Hazel's idea.
Dev: *realization* Oh... *faces Hazel, frantically waving his arms, embarrassed and blushing* N-Not saying that your ideas are dumb, Hazel! You have great ideas! Your ideas are awesome, I promise! It's just... *groans* I really messed up there...
Hazel: Ya think?
Dev: Listen, I don't mean to hurt your feelings, Hazel, really I don't! It's just- It's hard to explain. *turns to Peri* Anyways, what were you doing talking to those kids in your human disguise, Peri?
Peri: Well, I kinda, sorta, am going to be substituting for Mr. Guzman next week.
Dev: Wait, what? Why?
Peri: Turns out, Mr. Guzman got sick during lunch, so someone had to teach his class until he got better, and I just so happened to overhear the situation. Also, I will still be upholding the school rules, so don't try anything, kid. I may be your fairy godparent, but that doesn't mean I'll be taking it easy on you.
Dev: Got it.
(After Hazel calms down.)
Dev: You... didn't tell Jasmine and Winn about what happened last night, did you?
Hazel: *shakes her head no*
Dev: *sighs in relief* Okay, good.
Hazel: Dev... Why did you kiss me on the cheek yesterday?
Dev: *face reddens* (thinks: I was worried that she'd ask that!) Uh... it was a goodnight kiss, because you're my friend, and I needed to get home before the Au Pairs started worrying!
Hazel: Oh, okay.
Peri: *whispers to Dev* Nice lying, kid.
Dev: *whispers back* Hey, at least I'm trying, Peri Cosma!
Peri: *whispers back* *facepalms* Must you include my last name?
Dev: *whispers back* Don't judge, Peri, now zip it!
Hazel: Hey... you're still coming to the sleepover tomorrow, right?
Dev: *turns to Hazel* Wouldn't miss it!
Hazel: Okay, good. Was a bit worried there!
Dev: Hazel, you're my friend, even after what I did yesterday, I wouldn't wanna let you down!
Hazel: I guess you've got a point there.
Dev: Well, I should get going home. Sparky's probably hungry.
Hazel: Okay. See you at the sleepover tomorrow?
Dev: Wouldn't miss it!
Dev walks off, with Peri returning to his headphones form, and riding around his neck.
Hazel and Dev: *thinks at the same time* Let's hope it's not going to be embarrassing.
