"This is it" you unlocked the door to your new apartment and walked inside, Bigby following behind you. There wasn't much in the room, just a table with a phone, plus a little couch and a few boxes "as you can see, I haven't really moved in yet" you were a little embarrassed at the state your new home was in

"I could help you with that if you want. No way a little lady like you could lift everything" he teased you a bit, earning a punch in the arm.

"Don't underestimate me!... But some help would be very much appreciated" you smiled and clasped your hands together, looking up at him with grateful eyes. "...I think I'm gonna stay here for the night"

"I was going to suggest that... I don't want you out on the streets again" Bigby folded his arms over his chest, glad that you were thinking the same as him.

"Yeah, I've definitely learned my lesson on that... Thanks for walking me home. It really made me feel safe." You were very genuine and that made him blush a bit.

"Ah, no problem" he rubbed the back of his neck and avoided your gaze. "...I'll let you get some sleep" he headed toward the door, a little awkwardly cutting the conversation short. He just felt weird around you, in an oddly good way.

"Okay... I'll see you tomorrow then" you followed him to the door, but stopped him before he could get past the threshold. Your little hand had grabbed his, slowly pulled away and leaving a little note behind. "Sleep well Bigby"

He glanced at what you had left in his hand, then back to you, seeing you standing in the doorway. Your one arm rested against the frame, leaning into it a little as the rest of your body jutted out, successfully showing off your new womanly body.

"...you too Red" a smiled graced his lips before he tore his eyes away from you and headed down the hall to his own room. Once he was out of sight, he quickly opened the little crumpled note. On the paper was a series of numbers followed by '[Name]'. You'd given him your phone number. He stared at if for a few moments before continuing on his way back to his apartment. When he opened the door, he was surprised to find someone inside "Snow" he greeted the dark haired woman

"Hey Bigby" she turned around with a stack of papers in her arms.

"Can I ask why you're in my apartment?" He set his keys down along with the note

"I just had to pick up a few files. I figured you wouldn't mind if I dropped in... Although I expected you to be asleep. Can I ask why you're coming home so late?" She questioned him playfully, quirking a black eyebrow

"I ran into a bit of trouble on the way home" he answered vaguely.

"What kind of trouble?" That made him roll his eyes a bit, he knew she was going to pry.

"A girl was being attacked"

"What girl?"

"Snow I'm tired"

"Just humor me Bigby" she set down the papers for a moment and pulled up a chair, wanting to hear more. "Come on, spill"

"...it was Red Riding Hood" he finally answered her inquiry, dragging another chair next to her to sit in.

"Really? And you saved her? That's pretty ironic" she couldn't help but mention even though Bigby gave her a look. "Come on, it's true" she gave him a little smile. "How is she?"

"She's good... Done a bit of growing up" Bigby really didn't want to get into this, Snow could read him way too easily.

"Really? About how old does she look now?" Snow was interested to hear about what the little girl looked like now

"Early 20's? I don't know" Bigby ran a hand through his tangled hair, his gaze fixed on the ground.

"Wow, that's amazing. It's odd how some Fables age so much slower than others... How did she look?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Is she pretty? She was a cute little girl, so she much be a pretty woman" Snow watched as Bigby blatantly ignored her question and pulled out a cigarette, lighting it up and taking a long drag. "I'll take that as a yes" she sat back in her chair, arms folded

"Excuse me? I didn't say anything?" Smoke leaked out of his mouth as he spoke.

"Which is just as good as saying something" she responded in a cocky manner. Snow found it cute that he avoided her question, it was good for him to be attracted to someone.

"She's moving in to the Woodlands" Bigby quickly changed the subject

"I'll let you get away with changing the subject only because I want to know how she's affording it" Snow could let him slide for a bit.

"Granny's inheritance" he answered bluntly

"Oh no... That's awful" snow's face softened at the news.

"Yep..." He flicked the ashes off the end of his cigarette.

"You should ask her out"

"Excuse me?" That caught him way off guard

"You obviously think she's pretty, why not ask her for a date? It could do you a lot of good Bigby" Snow urged him

"Do you have any idea how weird that would be. She's way too young" he tried to give an excuse

"Not anymore... In reality, she's probably older than you. Just do it Bigby, don't be a baby" she couldn't help but tease him about how shy he was acting, this wasn't like him at all

"no Snow" that came out a little harshly "now can you please leave... I'm exhausted" a long sigh escaped his lips and he sat back in his chair.

"...fine then. But you'll be sad when you wind up with no one" the woman grabbed her things and took go her feet, her heels clicking as she carried herself to the door "...just think about it" she left him with that

"..." Bigby sat in the dark room, alone, thinking about what she said. He'll be sad when he winds up with no one... Was that really going to happen to him? Was he going to be alone?...

He eventually broke down and picked up the phone, punching in the number written on the note and waiting as it started to ring. Oh no, this was a stupid idea, she was probably asleep. He needed to hang up before he-

"Hello?" You answered the phone, not sounding at all like you had been woken up.

"Uh, hey [Name], it's Bigby" he said, his nervousness obvious in his voice.  "I'm sorry I woke you up"

"No you didn't, I was just unpacking a few things... What's up?" You were glad he had called, but weren't too sure of why he called right then.

"Oh. Um" he had to think of how to word this so he didn't sound like a creep. "Would you want to... Catch up sometime? Maybe after I help you move tomorrow..."

"Yeah! Yeah that would be great" he could almost hear you twirling the cord of the phone around your slender finger. He couldn't imagine how adorable you looked. "Tomorrow night... We can grab dinner?"

"Sounds good to me" a smile had taken over his face, unable to hide how elated he was that you agreed to go out with him... Wait, was this a date? Is that what you were thinking? Or was this a friendly thing... He'd cross that bridge when he came to it

"So tomorrow" your voice called him out of his thoughts

"Yeah. Tomorrow"

"I'll be looking forward to it" the tone of your voice- the way the words were drawn out- was strangely seductive. Your soft syllables practically floated through his ears and a small shiver shot up his spine. He wasn't sure if you were doing it on purpose, but it was alluring nonetheless. "Goodnight Bigby"

"Goodnight Red"
