"Um. I have this. For you, I mean." Mal doesn't make eye contact, because she's not, how shall we phrase it, 'good' at this kind of thing, but she slides the item she has over nonetheless—clearly, it had started out as your average store-bought heart-shaped box of chocolates before Mal had gotten her hands (and paintbrushes) all over it. Now none of the original cardboard shows through, covered in its entirety by careful designs in every shade of blue under the sun. "Because, um—Valentine's."
“ mal, ” she drags out her girlfriend’s name like a coo, a brilliant grin curling onto her lips as she watches her try for romance. wow, she loves this girl. eagerly she takes the box of chocolates from her hands, running her fingers lightly over the designs gently as she takes them all in. “ wow ! how long did this take you? ” she hums before carefully setting it beside her on the table and rummaging in her heart tote. dainty fingers draw out a clear tin with twelve chocolate covered strawberries, drizzled with purple and green-dyed chocolate and sprinkles. “ happy valentine’s day, valentine ! ”
before she offers the sweets to her sweet, though, she steps closer to mal, gently cupping her cheek before drawing closer and closer, brushing her lips lightly against plush, petal-soft ones, though she can’t quite help herself from pressing more fervently into the kiss for a moment. “ also, i love you, ” she murmurs into her mouth before pulling away.
