2024 VALENTINE'S ❤ CMO

FOR ALL YOUR CANDY COATED NEEDS!! I have tossed a few toplevels in the comments for girls I will be actively writing, but if we've played CR/a ship before and I'm not too rusty on the character, feel free to ask for them and I'll see what I can do!

This is primarily for chocolate shenanigans but general shippy and/or Valentines energy is good too. Feel free to also use this as a meme/mingle/CMO or whatever for your own characters! Include prompts or don't, I ain't the boss of you.

[ There'd been a little part of her fully convinced that they'd stumble into the one train that was packed to the gills because that would be just their luck but at this time of night, the trains are just as quiet as the station - it's not perfect privacy and they'll have to keep their wits about them, but for now it looks like they can relax just a bit. ]

Me? When have you ever known me to get stage fright about anything?

[ ... is what she says, but then her little grin softens into something gentler. ]

But since it's a special day... I'll fess up and admit I was a little antsy while I was waiting for you.

[So far, he'd been able to deal with Ai just fine. She wouldn't say something like I love you. Liking someone was one thing, but he never felt worthy for something so heavy, so he never bothered with making her say it outright. Her small confession at the pizza shop was only a means to an end. It made him happy, but he could have lived without hearing it. He's still not that deserving. It was just that a liar like him was in pain, so he wanted to free her from it. If she would tell him this and accept him for being the same, then maybe he could open his heart and finally let her in.

Getting her to admit her nervousness felt like that.]

Aww, it's just me. But I guess even you've got something that makes you weak in the knees.

[He laces his fingers with hers.]

I want everything to go well, too. I was worried you'd be too busy in the end, but you went out of your way to make some time for your Rinne-kun tonight, huh? You cutie.

[liedol]

It's not just you. [ With their fingers entwined, Ai squeezes his hand and lets her head tip to rest against his shoulder. After a whole day of playing at pretend intimacy, being able to just dote on the boy she likes really is nice. ] It's because it's you I was getting all worked up. I'd been looking forward to this so much I kept half-convincing myself it wasn't gonna happen.

[ But they're here and they're together, which is the part that matters most. Even if everything else goes topsy turvy, Ai's still happy with this much.

She peeks up at him, her smile turning sly. ]

I bet you're the same too, right? I did promise you a proper kiss this morning.

[ Truly the world's most evil Valentine's text. ]

[hanikamu]

O-oh.

[Oh. Well, he expected a quick peck on the cheek at best, but between the way she squeezes his hand and the way her eyes sparkle as she looks up at him, he's totally out of his element. She is evil.

Suddenly, he is quiet.]

Mm. Kept thinking about it all day.

[It was kind of a problem.]

I wouldn't have... stood you up like that.

[liedol]

Mm. I know. It was me I was worrying about. I kept coming up with all kinds of excuses in my head to cut and run early just in case it looked like I wouldn't make it.

[ She glances quickly over her shoulder - nobody's paying attention from the other cars and nobody's even around in theirs, anyway. So they might just be safe.

Ai lifts her free hand and, cradling his cheek, gently turns his face towards hers. Her eyes are still twinkling with mischief but the light there is tempered just a bit by something warm and fond, too. ]

But it looks like things are working out. Lucky me, getting to spend Valentine's with my oshi, huh?

[ She presses a kiss to his forehead. Another to his cheek.

Then, just like she'd promised him, Ai brings their lips together and kisses him properly. No matter how much of their time everyone else has stolen today, none of them get to have this. ]
