Stubbonly (un)Sweet
Not really a thread, just a thing that was too long to send as an ask to @wolfhednar
For the 12th time this morning, Sylvain ponders just what exactly is it he’s doing. This is his day, where he gorges himself on all the candy gifted to him, make the girls who hand it over to him blush furiously with a smile and a wink. This is the day he does his best work. So why…?
Shaking his head, he adds the finishing touch to the flat box. It looks like any other box that would contain a selection of luxury chocolates, albeit without all the romantic symbolism that comes with the holiday. Inside, nestled in each compartment and lined with decorative paper, lay pieces of jerky, each with different seasonings, instead of traditional chocolates. It had just been an amusing thought when it first popped into his head from seemingly nowhere, but then… Well, then he kept thinking about it, alongside the logistics of how he would even make such a thing. And, well, here he is.
“The hell are you doing, Gautier?” He mumbles to himself as he tucks the box under his arm. This isn’t something they do. Sure, sometimes his friend gives him candy, but it’s only because he doesn’t want it, it doesn’t mean anything. And Sylvain only really gives him gifts for his birthday and Saint Seiros day, so why is he even…?
He promptly stops thinking about it. He knows why, but he’s doing a great job of ignoring it.
So, he goes with the next best excuse he has, leaving the box upon his friend’s desk in the classroom where a swordplay seminar is due to begin. He swipes up a piece of parchment and a quill and ignores how his hand trembles just a bit as he writes.
Felix,
Thought that just because you don’t like candy, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have something nice for the holiday.
Enjoy!
- Sylvain
Leaving the note poking out from under the box, he flees the scene before anyone can question him on it.
