'Tis Valentine's Day.


Care to do a bit of celebrating?

Drop a comment by your character here divulging whatever plans they've got in motion for today or anything they may be giving out to their CR!

Of course, if they do not have plans, they may still very well participate. Comment anyway - and cruise about commenting with gifts in spirit. Use each character's comment as an IC (if not necelink ssarily canon) inbox if you'd like - link romantic and/or platonic songs, Comic Sans Valentine's cards, go to this site as suggested by Leriel and throw together a highly symbolic bouquet, anything to get the sentiments out.

In other words go all-out in as serious or tongue-in-cheek of a Valentine's spirit as you please!

Have fun, thee all.

Holly has made home made chocolates for everyone in cute little heart covered bags. She went around giving them out today though some she might have to give out on Saturday. Hope everyone enjoys chocolate!

We'll play this out, I think; Friday morning

[moonlitblade]

[Ethan was expecting today to be a simple affair. It's not like he had anyone he liked or that liked him, so he'd just been planning on being himself. Soccer practice that afternoon, go to the library to do his homework, go home, spend the night doing nothing of note. A regular day that happened to be the fourteenth of February.

Of course, as he walked into his classroom and headed for his desk, he should have remembered that nothing was ever easy. More importantly, he was forgetting to account for someone he was getting closer to than he'd really expected, because she had a way of slipping under his radar until she was already standing there.]

Yay!

[keywarding]

[Smiling brightly, Holly hides the bag and card behind her back, waiting for him to notice her standing next to his desk. She'd found a pink dress to wear, something used to hate but had slowly started to become comfortable with over the past few months.

It was still cold out though so white tights were needed.]

Good morning Ethan! [She greets, her bag and school things at her desk.]

[moonlitblade]

[Well, that's a shock of pink. Who could that- ah, Holly. Sensible. Not a bad color on her either, but then, she'd probably strangle him for trying to say it aloud. He looks up at her and smiles.]

Good morning, Holly. Doing all right?

[keywarding]

I'm doing good. [She smiles brighter, finally bringing her hands around to hold out a bag with red hearts on it and a card in a red envelope. She's nearly bouncing, hoping he'll like it.]

Happy Valentines Day, Ethan.

[moonlitblade]

Hmm? For me? [She was giving something to him? Well, that was... unexpected. He reaches out and accepts the bag and the card, setting them down on his desk for a moment while he looks up at her.]

Thank you, Holly. I appreciate it. I, uh, don't have anything for you, though. Um... Happy Valentine's Day? [It's a lame finish, but really, what else did he say? He's a guy.]

[keywarding]

[Shaking her head, Holly clasps her hands behind her back. The fact he's even worried about giving something back is enough for her.] It's okay, you don't have to give me anything. I had fun making them this year.

Um, you like chocolate right? [Because she never has asked him and if he doesn't then this will really suck but- well she could always make him something else.]

[moonlitblade]

Yeah. I mean, I don't eat it all the time, but once in a while's not bad. [Taking a closer look into the bag... yeah, that's definitely chocolate. Handmade. Sheesh, he hadn't even been particularly good this year, particular not to her.] I'm going to enjoy these, I think.

[That brings him to the card, which he starts to open, before pausing and looking up to Holly again.] Should I open this now, or after school?

[keywarding]

[She hides the blush of happiness by looking down at the desk between them.]

Yes, go ahead! [She says before realizing that's not really an answer to the question.] You can open it now if you want.

[Jeeze Holly, you're getting all tongue tied here, it's not even a declaration of love or anything. It's a handmade card, much like the chocolates, with some paint and glitter, her mother had really been into crafts this year so far and had sat down with her to help. Hearts in different color and patterned fabric decorate the front, the inside has a simple phrase, something about friendship and love being very similar- her mother had written it for her, with pretty calligraphy she'd learned as a child.

Under that was an added little bit in Holly's handwriting, and now that she thought about it she should have told him to wait till she was no where in the room because it is a little embarrassing.

'Thank you for helping me so much, and while what we're going through isn't something I'd wish on anyone, I'm glad I have you with me'

She's trying not to stare at him, tugging at the hem of a ribbon that's wrapped around the dress like a belt.]

[moonlitblade]

[That he does, not wanting anything to happen to it. It's shiny... Ethan takes a minute to appreciate the handcrafted card, his hand eventually going to the message at the bottom as if to make sure it's really there. Had he... really left that much of an impression? He looks up at her, and grins.]

I don't really know what I did, but you're welcome. I'll always be around, whenever you need.

[And he doesn't even realize what he's doing. Poor sap. He registers that she's clutching the ribbon of her dress, but he doesn't get why - is she nervous?]

[keywarding]

[Taking a breath, she smiles to cover up the slight bit of disappointment. It wasn't a confession of love, so why is she disappointed? Dropping the end of her ribbon, she clutches her hands together to keep them from tugging or picking at anything in particular.]

It's always the heroes who don't know they're heroes. [She says with a small laugh, it's something she's noticed with a lot of people. Too many don't realize how needed they are, or how helpful they can be.]

I hope you like them. They're nothing special, but I hope you like them.

[Maybe she should just go sit down before she makes a fool out of herself.]
