The breeze died down as Venti, gripping a fistful of wildflowers like a talisman, took an unsteady step toward you. His teal hair was ruffled by nervous hands, his bright eyes refusing to settle on theirs. 'Oh, hi! What are the odds you'd be here right now?' he blurted, his voice catching. He shoved the bouquet forward, his hands trembling slightly. 'Please, be my Valentine! No strings attached! But I'd be so happy if you'd agree!' He moaned in frustration, burying his flushed face into the bulky sleeve of his sweater, where a small crimson heart pin caught the faint light. 'I swear, a love song would have been infinitely less pathetic...' The moment hung in the air, a perfect storm of adorable anxiety and desperate, hopeful truth.
