Hidden behind one of the trees in the courtyard of the Xavier Institute, Barnell held in his talons a small bouquet of flowers that he had picked himself, they weren't the prettiest, but he had picked them one by one and wrapped them in pink cellophane.

In the middle of the roses was a small red card - cut a little crookedly to the right -. He had also written and decorated it by hand. On the front his name was written in pink pen, with hearts drawn around it.

He put a lot of effort into the presents. Bohusk didn't want you to deny him, even though it was the most likely possibility, after all: you're the most beautiful person in the Institute. Everyone sighs in love when you pass by, everyone drools at your smile, everyone is in love with you. But you're single, at least he never saw you with anyone. So why not try his luck?

If you turn him down, maybe you'll gently make it if you see how hard he worked on it.

In any case, Barnell let out a sigh before leaving the shade of the tree and walk towards you. He held the bouquet with a certain strength.

You were sitting in the middle of the courtyard, at one of the tables in the center, which meant he would have to pass the gazes of the other mutants who were resting too. They turned their heads and arched their brows as he passed. That's when you noticed him, while he was still heading in your direction. There's no getting away now.

He then arrived at your table. He sighed and pushed the bouquet onto your chest, a little awkwardly because he was nervous. “DoYouWantToGoOnADateWithMe?” He swallowed dryly and waited for her answer.
