When Emelia heard this she was surprised, at first she thought she had miss heard what he said and stared at his face, but then after a while, she realized she didn't mishear anything, whatever she had heard was correct Bernard was really asking out on a date, as she thought to this point her face immediately became flushed red, after the incident with him biting her on the neck.
Emelia realized that she was gradually growing feelings for him, although she had no clue if it was because he was the first person who offer to be her friend during the time when everyone got to the academy newly or because of the bite, or because of something else entirely but she knew she was gradually falling for him.
Besides that a lot had happened that made her realize he wasn't a bad person and had no ulterior motive towards her, there were times he would correct her and there were times when he would protect her, although it wasn't like what he did for Sophia but all these little things were strong enough to create a space for him in her heart, even though he was nowhere as strong as those rank 5 or second years, his courage and bravery could still be compared to those who were extremely powerful.
Although she had seen many high-ranking symbiote users and even some with the second transformation whose power was at the top, and even those of the first-year students not all of them had the type of courage he had, that included Ryan as well he was simply fearless, he was the type of person she had always wished for and wanted as a child who had read lots of fairy tales.
When she realized how cruel the world was while growing up in her hometown and even the academy, she forsaked those thoughts of ever finding someone like in the stories.
Even though she knew fairy tales weren't real, one part of her still held on to the hope of finding a prince even if the person wasn't exactly a prince, and while she was the only one that knew she had feelings for him, nevertheless she had hopes that with time he would naturally notice how much she liked him and would return the same feeling as she does for him. So when she heard what he said, she was dumbstruck and couldn't believe it, it was like her secret prayers were being answered right in front of her.
However, even though she really wanted to say yes, she didn't know how to go about it because she was afraid of ruining everything if she was too excited, Bernard was still staring at her so she was sure he was simply waiting for her reply, as she stood before him tension was rising inside of her even her heart was beating like crazy in excitement, however even with all these she still try to appear calm on the surface, so as to leave a better impression of herself.
Meanwhile, Bernard realize after asking Emelia if she would go out with him, considering everyone was probably tired and she was the only person that wasn't still asleep he had thought maybe they could go out together like they usually do, but then he notice she wasn't replying and was just staring at him completely spaced out what's more even face was slightly flushed red, this made him a bit worried that something might be wrong with her.
Bernard hesitated for a bit, if he should ask her if she was alright or not, originally, he planned for them to all go outside and have a little fun together since it was weekend and since there were no classes and was just like they always do but at the same time after thinking about it he decided against it, he was sure Sophia still needed to rest while Ryan was likely going through a phase that he needed to sought out himself, this was why he didn't call them.
But in that last Emelia had left her room, which was a surprise but he didn't think too much and thought even if the rest of the group wasn't there, they could still hang out but now he was wondering if he had made the right decision by asking her, maybe she was now in a tight spot because she had plans of her own before and because she didn't want to reject him she was now confused and didn't know what to say.
However, just as he was about to ask her if she had other plans, she suddenly looked at him and with the most cheerful smile he had ever seen on her face she said to him, "Yeah, sure I will love to."
"Are you sure?"Bernard asked again.
Emelia simply smiled when she heard this and nodded gently, although she only took a few minutes to reply but since he took his time to wait on her she felt bad but nevertheless she had finally made up her mind since this was their first date she was going to make it special.
As they were about to go, Emelia walked toward him and then proceeded to perk him on the cheek with a flushed red expression, before they finally head out. However, what they didn't know was while they were walking a pair of beautiful ash eyes had been watching them all along, meanwhile, after they left their dorm they immediately went and grabbed some food, in the process Emelia realized her credit points weren't enough but her prince charming Bernard was generous enough to opt out to pay for her, making her even more happy than she already was.
At this moment she was simply on cloud nine, and couldn't help but steal a glance at Bernard and after grabbing some food, they went ahead to watch some movies together and had a good laugh at the funny moment and lots of screams in the scary parts as well, after the movie was over they eventually came outside, and at the same time Bernard was unsure of what to do, however, there was one person that was having too much fun and was praying for it not to come to an end, Emelia.
However, it seems like this time her prayers won't be answered because at this very moment they spot a familiar face, that Emelia didn't want to see at this moment when she was spending her special quailty time with Bernard, Sophia.
