Hiiii Duven. I hope you are well and school isn't kicking your butt too much.
Since valentine's day passed and I missed my opportunity to ask this. How would the ROs feel about someone getting the jump on them and asking MC to be their valentine before they could? 👀
Yes I like making people sad
Hello! Sorry for the late reply!!
I'll be writing this in the sense that the ROs have acknowledged the fact that they are in love with you, so more angst hooray!
To add insult to injury, let's say you accept the other person's offer.
A:
A clutches a bouquet of roses close to their chest, heartbeat like thunder against the confines of their body. Their eyes shine with a glimmer of hope when they heard you were at the vicinity of House of Leo.
Perhaps today they will confess to you- the way you make them feel free, the way you steal their breath away and turn them into a stuttering mess. To make the Golden Lion of House Leo fall to your feet with love in their heart, its quite fascinating.
They hum softly, almost turning a corner when they heard your voice. They stop and hide, catching their breath as they heard another voice in your conversation. As it goes on, the light in A's eyes began to dim when they hear your laughter joined with another.
Oh, they think.
A petal falls from a rose in the bouquet.
And a lion's heart was shattered in an instant.
C:
Today was a quiet day for C- which is surprising considering how many people flock them at a time. They sigh happily, glad to be free from their social life once in a while. C decided to head out into the market square today as a means to relax.
Although, they seem to have forgotten that today was the day of love. C grumbles quietly as couples left and right smother the atmosphere with love. C stops for a rest in a quaint section of the market when someone taps their shoulder. A flower- a single rose was offered. C wanted to decline the flower when they spot someone from the corner of their eye.
There you were, a bright light amongst the sea of Valentine chaos. C felt their heart thud loudly, making them curse silently as they took the offered rose and head in your direction. But of course, fate was ever the cruel mistress to desperate souls like C.
They stopped a few feet away from you, hidden amongst the crowd as they saw you with another. A single gasp escaped their mouth. You looked happy, even more than when you were with C.
C turned around after a moment, dropping the rose to the ground.
I wish you all the best, my light.
In your love with someone whose heart is not as broken as mine.
E:
The cold one of House Aquarius felt... happy today. For the first time on Valentines day, E had secured a meeting with you. Some might call it a date, but they haven't professed their love just yet. Perhaps they'd like to tell you over tea today, and hopefully you'd be theirs.
E met with you at a quaint cafe that was unusually packed with couples today. They sigh softly, sitting down with you at a secluded spot in the cafe. Despite all the hassle, E was able to converse with you for quite some time. The smile on your face calmed their heart, thawing what was once frozen.
After some time, E had decided to tell you what they feel. They did so with upmost sincerity, a rare showcase of their raw emotions. For once, E had gained a sliver of the person they used to be, their heart on their sleave waiting earnestly for your reply.
...
They came in with a hopeful heart, and left without one at all.
N:
N was pearched atop a tree, glancing around at the bustling square down below. Their tail swishes languidly as they watch the people of the kingdom celebrate Valentines day. N doesn't completely understand what these customs mean, being raised in the deep forest.
Amongst the crowd, N spots you conversing with another- someone they don't recognise. A slight hiss escapes their lips, eyes narrowed at the scene below. A muddle of thoughts cloud their mind as they try to figure out what this person wants from you. After a moment, N grumbles and slips down the tree, heading towards the city square.
Despite their big frame, N easily maneuvers around the sea of people. They tail you as you walk with the unknown person, ears catching the words exchanged. The more they hear, the more they frown. They do not trust this unknown, who are they to stake claim on your heart?
N's eyes flit around, spotting a few flowers on the ground. They pick them up, brushing the petals clear of dirt. Despite being unknowledgable with the customs of Valentines day, they have observed enough to know that giving the person you like flowers will help with confessing your feelings.
Although, perhaps they were a moment too late- for the words shared between you and the unknown were far more precious than any flower in the world.
🙂
A very late valentines day gift, but I have finally delivered it!
Hope this is alright! 🤭
