I'd live and I'd die for you/I'd steal the sun from the sky for you

[temptestament]

Characters: Allen Ridgeley and OPEN for the first prompt, close to Shion Uzuki (uzuki) for the second.
Setting: The meadow floor and then Shion's room.
Format: I'm tired and lazy, so I'll be starting with action.
Summary: It's Valentine's day and Allen is determined to do something nice for his girlfriend.
Warnings: Ummm...tooth rotting sap, the dorkiest attempts at flirting ever and horrible fashion choices?

[Meadow floor]

*Early in the morning, Allen can be caught wandering around the meadow floor in his Vector uniform, collecting flowers. He'll occasionally stop and glance back toward the staircase, as if there's someone he doesn't want to catch him, but he otherwise seems to be in a good mood.

[Shion's room]

*By the time he shows up at Shion's door, Allen has changed into a different outfit. His hands seem to be empty, but he knocks on the door, a little tentatively, anyway.*

Comments

[temptestament]

*You're lucky he doesn't make a habit of reading minds, Shion. As it is, he just uses one hand to brush aside her bangs.*

Honestly, I wish I could do more, but the kitchen didn't have any chocolate.

[uzuki]

That's okay... Really, this is more than I could have asked for... Do you want to come in?

[Because standing half in the hall wasn't all that romantic. And if he did want to come in, she needed to go shove a bunch of books into her trunk.]

[temptestament]

Unless you would rather go somewhere else.

And don't worry about the flowers, really. They're nowhere near as beautiful as you are, anyway.

[uzuki]

Oh, Allen...

[She shook her head, but she smiled even more at that. She finally took the flowers, and turned to go inside.]

Did you have somewhere in mind?

[She left the door open for him, and moved to her bed. She picked up the few books scattered there, leaving the strange doll that was propped up on her pillows, then dropped all the clutter in her trunk.

She then began looking though some of the stuff she had originally gathered for KOS-MOS's maintenance. She knew there was something she could put the flowers in somewhere.]

[temptestament]

*He followed her in, letting his arms fall to his side once she took the flowers.*

Not really. There aren't exactly a lot of honestly pleasant places here.

[uzuki]

[After a moment or two, she found a large graduated container that was full of cords. She removed them, and set it up as a makeshift vase. She placed the flowers on her bedside table, before turning back to Allen.]

Actually, I did find a nice floor a few days ago.

[temptestament]

Oh? Which one?

[uzuki]

The sixty-second floor, I think. Have you been there yet?

[temptestament]

Briefly, I think. I haven't taken time out to really examine it yet, though.

[uzuki]

Well, then that's as good a destination as any, right?

[She moved back to him and took his arm.]

[temptestament]

You sure? It's still a bit cold to actually go swimming.

[uzuki]

[SIGH]

Well, I wasn't planning on getting in the water.

[Obviously, they're going for that romantic beach atmosphere!]

[temptestament]

Alright. I take it you want to take the shortcut?

[uzuki]

[She nodded, because some of the floors in between weren't that great...]

[temptestament]

*With a brief distortion of space, they're suddenly standing on the beach, several feet away from the water.*

Are you alright with the cold?

[uzuki]

Yeah, it's not too bad.

[Okay, so it was pretty damn cold. But she had two jackets, at least. And still, it was nice to see the ocean again.]

[temptestament]

We probably should've brought a blanket or something to sit on, though.

[uzuki]

It's fine, Allen! Come on!

[A little sand never hurt anyone... Probably. She pulled him along, a little closer to the water, before sitting down. Sure it was cold out, but it was tolerable, for a little while anyway. Not to mention deserted, which was always a plus as far as tower floors went.]

[temptestament]

*He sat down next to her, closing his hand around hers.*

At least the water is relaxing...

[uzuki]

It is, isn't it? It's too bad it's so cold, or else I might get out of my room more often.

[temptestament]

Well, it's almost spring, so it should start warming up sooner or later.

[telepathy]

[oforder]

Are you enjoying yourself, Allen?

[telepathy] Keywords

[temptestament]

I was, until you interrupted. What do you want?

[telepathy]

[oforder]

If you need to ask, Allen, then it means you are not paying attention. Our minds are connected. You are growing lax, if not complacent.

[telepathy]

[temptestament]

I was trying to pay attention to my date.
