Um... hello, everyone. I'll try not to other you, and make this quick. I just had a few things to say.

[To make sure she's doing this right, she has a small notepad. page flip.]

First... during that zombie event, when were trapped in our fantasies... Several of you tried to help me get out of that place, and even though I was really stubborn, I really appreciate what you did. So, thank you.

[page flip.]

Second, Valentine's Day was yesterday. Normally I would have given my friends some chocolate, but, um, since we just had an event, I wasn't sure if anyone would be in the mood to have some... B-But I'll be making some in the kitchen, so if you still want one, you can come here and take some.

[page flip.]

And last, um... I write down what happens every day in my journals, but lately I was thinking, I'd like to start putting photos in there too... Of both good and bad memories. So I was going to ask the closet for a camera... b-but I don't know a lot about cameras. So, um, I guess, I just wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions or tips about that kind of thing...?

[She double-checks her page... nothing forgotten, and not too many apologies! Success! She looks very proud of herself.]

Th-that's all! Thank you, chocolates, and cameras! Th-thanks for listening.

((OOC: feel free to go action if you want chocolates!))

[ Oh no. Look at those eyes. Those hopeful eyes.

Mondo Oowada, if you run away from this, you're not a man! He knows that, he knows that. Still... goddamn, ain't the hurdle too high?! His raised hands drop as he rubs the back of his neck rather roughly, eyes swimming around. ]

Uh...

[ Okay. He's gonna do this. HE'S A MAN, HE CAN TOTALLY MAN UP. A deep, deep breath. ]

...Right, uh.

[ Say it. ]

So...

[ Say it! ]

M-Mi...

[ The red has made yet another return to his face. Red's so busy today! ]

Mi... ahem.

[ His eyes finally stop at her feet, slowly looking up to the girl who's still facing him with anticipation ー at least that's how those eyes seem to him. Fuck, his heartbeat's pounding real hard in his ears, it almost feels like he can hear them in this room, the hell. It's just a friggin' name, why's he struggling so much?! ]

...Mi, Mikan. [ Fucking finally. ] Can I have the choco?

[ You're goddamned right he totally mumbled that. Congrats, Mikan, you won a jackpot!!

He'll just, drown in the redness of his face, avoiding eye contact. He feels like dying, can someone bury him now. But of course he has to act tough, so now he's crossing his arms in front of his chest like that didn't bother him at all. Even if his face totally tells the story. HUFF PUFF, HE TOTALLY DID IT LIKE A MANLY MAN. ]

C'mon, give it here.

[ Acting grumpy won't make you look any less pathetic, Mondo. ]

[naughty_nurse]

[YEAH, SUCK IT BITCH. I mean, oh boy, she's pretty darn pleased. His shy side is absolutely the cutest thing ever, right after his puppy! She kind of wishes she could take a picture of him like this, but she's not mean enough. She's just going to enjoy the moment, relish it.

Mmmm, that's good bashful. She's going to treasure that, yes. Sorry that she's bursting into very delighted giggles, but yeah man, you're picture perfect kawaii.]

Heeheeheehee~! Yes, you may have the choco!

[So this is what victory feels like! It's addictive. But she walks right back to him, pushing the chocolate forward.]

Mondo Oowada may have the choco~.

[trabryu]

[ What is this sense of defeat... He's never felt anything like it. Hugeass reminder to never fight Mikan Tsumiki in metaphorical MMA ever again, he'll never win against her. ]

...You're totally enjoying this.

[ Still mumbling grumpily, but then. That way of handing it over... did an arrow just strike through his heart?

Yep, score. ]

...........

[ That's a long pause, Mondo.]

O, ou.

[ After staring at her with a stupid dumbfounded face for the umpteenth time today, he finally takes the chocolate back in his hand, awkwardly nodding his head as a way of thanks (???). And as he looks at it, he can't really hold back the perk that resembles a very, very faint smile, peeking on the edges of his lips. His very first Valentine's choco! ]

[naughty_nurse]

[in regards to his question - Yes, yes she is, and all he'll get in reply is more giggling.]

Heeheehee~!

[Despite the embarrassment in her hair and the reveal of her heartbreak... this has been a very good Valentine's Day. She's going to smile and head back to the oven to finish baking the rest of her little un-decorated chocolates, humming a little.

This is going to make a nice entry in her journal, oh yes.]

[trabryu]

[ Meanwhile, he'll return to the counter to taste test the chocolate, and... ]

Whoa?!

[ Stop frightening the poor girl, Mondo. Wtf. ]

This's real good?!

[ Okay now he's really gonna preserve the rest of it because not only it looks good and he doesn't want to eat it all up in a go, but also it is real good. ]

...Aight, I'll... uh, y'know. Get goin'.

[ Seems like she's still busy doing some stuff, so he's not gonna bother her further than he already did. Sheesh, come to think of it, he distracted her from making chocolates rather than helping, didn't he? He'll lift the plate of chocolate up for her to see. ]

Uh. Thanks for this, by the way.

[ Did he say it already? Ah well, it deserves more thanks, it's real good. ]

[naughty_nurse]

I'm glad! Please enjoy every last bite.

[One last bow to bid him farewell. She doesn't want to take up his entire day if he's got something better to do.]

And you're very welcome! I guess for now we're even... Heehee.

[trabryu]

[ No way they totally aren't, he's gonna give her something back! Not that she needs to know that. He's gonna play it cool by waving a hand with his back on her as he leaves the kitchen and closes the door behind him.

A heave of sigh leaves him as he thinks about this whole day. Man. He did expect her to come up with something for him, but not this big, nor for it to be specially decorated and crafted for him like this. God. That's so nice? They even took pictures together, and...

Wait a sec.

Aren't all those other chocolates... smaller than his? Like. Way smaller?

....... ]

ALRIGHT!!!!

[ Oops.

That totally left him without thinking. Realising he's garnering some weird glances from around him, he clears his throat and lowers his pumped fist, before walking really fast towards his room. He sure hopes Tsumiki didn't hear him. (She most probably did.) WHAT A DAY! ]
