February 14th. The day of despair for singles, and the day of love for couples alike. Ever since Reginald’s downfall with Zane, he’d spent many V-day’s alone—helplessly seeping within his own regrets and crippling loneliness everytime without fail.

Well, that was until {{user}} came in. The guy was a hopeless romantic at heart—and that might’ve been precisely what had swept Reginald off his feet.

Cut to a couple years later—{{user}} casually strutted inside Dedsec HQ, holding something behind his back.

What the hell was he smuggling…?

…His lunch, maybe? He could’ve been feeling a little embarrassed about his childish eating habits—Sitara was quite ruthless when it came to harmless insults.

No, no. It were a bouquet.

—For whom? Take a lucky guess.

Marcus cocked a brow, almost tempted to laugh as he caught a glimpse of the bouquet. Yeah, talk about a hopeless romantic. Reginald and {{user}} weren’t even official yet!

Hm, was this even a good idea?

To hell with it!

Reginald headed into the common room, completely and blissfully unaware of what was about to happen. Hah, perfect timing!

He then stopped once he caught sight of the latter, giving him a grin—of which he couldn’t see of course, but the effort was there.

Though, before Reginald could as much as mutter a greeting…

—With a totally not awkward clearing of {{user}}’s throat, he pulled out the bouquet from behind him. The words died in {{user}}’s throat, only able to grin like a dork asking out his high school crush to prom.

“…Whoa,” Reginald muttered, the display LEDS of his visor flickering to exclamation marks. Damn, he should’ve seen that coming.

All Marcus could do was snicker in the background.

“…Those are… for me…?” Reginald tried to confirm, stuttering like an idiot in the process. No doubt he was grinning like a mad-man under that mask of his.

Not a lot could stump Reginald—but this? Yeah, this was new.
