Valadir x sian. Blurb. Giving her a bouquet of roses~
Valadir’s smile and dress are as suave as always, and the small, fond smile he directs towards you makes your heart melt. Your cheeks are as red as the bouquet of red roses he holds out for you, peppered with baby’s breath and wrapped in white ribbon.
“For you, my dear.” He murmurs and takes your hand. Valadir brings it up to his mouth and leaves a soft, lingering kiss against your knuckles, then looks at you with heated eyes. “Happy Valentine’s.”
Violet belongs to me

“What are you doing?” Carmine asked when Valadir playfully plucked the cherry from his drink.
“Eating a cherry.” The navy fire replied with a smile. He popped the cherry into his mouth and used his lips to hold the stem in place, then plucked it off. Carmine shook his head and went back to his drink, and the two of them fell silent as they waited for Violet.
“Carmine,” Val broke the silence with a soft tone. “I’m curious—Do you know how to knot a cherry stem?”
“Love.” Carmine gave his boyfriend an amused smile. “It’s pretty easy.”
“Is that so? Show me.” Val handed the cherry stem in his hand over. It took Carmine a few seconds, but he elegantly looped and knotted the cherry stem with his fingers.
“There~!” Carmine smiled and presented it to Val, and was not amused when his boyfriend chuckled.
“No, no. I meant with your tongue!” Val said with a big smile.
“What?”
“Hang on—let me go get a few more cherries.”
Carmine watched as Val got up and headed to the bar. His boyfriend returned shortly with a small bowl of candied cherries, to which Carmine raised an eyebrow at. Val put the bowl on the table and sat down, then plucked the stem off of the cherry and popped it in his mouth. He kept his eyes on Carmine as he moved the stem in his mouth, then pulled it out a minute later with a knot in the middle.
“There we are.” He held it out for Carmine to see. The dual colored flame’s eyebrows shot up as he stared in disbelief at the knotted stem. “Your turn.”
Carmine didn’t want to say he couldn’t do it, as he had never tried before, so he plucked a stem off of a cherry and popped it into his mouth. He gave it a few good tries before making a frustrated noise and pulling the stem out, revealing it to be unknotted.
“I don’t think I can do it…” Carmine said with a frown. “Why is this important anyways?”
“You really don’t know?” Val asked in mild disbelief.
“No, I don’t.”
“Ah. Well,” Val cleared his throat as he colored a little. “Supposedly, the ability to tie a cherry stem with your tongue is meant to display your…kissing prowess…among other things.”
“Oh.” Carmine’s face colored slightly as it clicked. “O-oh.”
He looked back at the cherry stem in his hand and silently put it back into his mouth. He twisted and knotted his tongue, determined to get it right, but to no avail. He pulled out the stem and looked up at Val guiltily, feeling very discouraged.
“What’s going on~?” Violet’s voice sang from beside them.
“Violet.” Val greeted with an affectionate smile. “We’re playing with cherry stems. Want to join?”
“Fun~!” Violet hummed and pulled a cherry stem off of a berry and popped it into his mouth. It took him less than half the time it took Val to pull it out knotted, and it made Carmine feel uneasy. “Have you done one, Carmine?”
“No…I don’t think I can…” Carmine looked away, both embarrassed and a little ashamed.
“I can teach you then!” Violet smiled and moved closer to Carmine. “Put a stem in your mouth, would you?”
Both Carmine and Val looked at Violet curiously, then Carmine obeyed and put the stem in his mouth. He looked back at Violet for further instructions and let out a muffled squeak when the purple fire kissed him. Violet quickly slipped his tongue inside of Carmine’s mouth, deepening the kiss. It was different from the usual kisses though, as Violet was more focused on the cherry stem than the actual kiss. Carmine tried to pay attention to what his boyfriend was doing, but it escaped him as he kept getting lost in the heady feeling of the kiss.
They broke apart a few moments later. Both of them were panting, and Violet wore a big smile. Carmine pulled the stem out of his mouth and looked at it, and he gaped in surprise as he found it knotted.
“How?” He looked up at Violet, who smiled smugly.
“Did you learn it? Or do you need another demonstration~?” Violet asked mischievously.
“I would like a demonstration,” Val spoke up before Carmine could. “Your technique is different than mine’s, and I’d like to experience it firsthand.”
“Really~!” Violet’s grin couldn’t be wider. “But maybe we should take it somewhere more private, hmm~?”
“I’ll need another demonstration too,” Carmine said in a shy voice, “and maybe a few from you, Val?”
“Of course,” Val smiled affectionately at his boyfriends. “I’ll pay for the drinks and meet you at the door.”
“Sure thing! Bring some more cherries with you, hm~?” Violet replied and took Carmine’s hand in his. Val smiled again and headed for the bar to pay, and Violet and Carmine walked to the door, hand in hand. They barely got there when Val caught up with them, and the three of them headed home together.
