Cupid’s Arrow.

Your whole life you’ve tried to take the place of Cupid, the previous Cupid having mentored you, and you having graduated The school of Saint Valentine’s, or SSV for short. It’s a school only for those in the heavens studying to become Cupid, or a Cupid’s messenger.

Last year you were bestowed the title of Cupid, your bow had been made specifically to your liking, your wings grew and changed to have pink tips on every feather, and your arrows enchanted with the magic of love. The previous Valentine’s Day was a total success! You had a 100% approval rating from the angel that observed you aswell.

Today was Valentine’s Day once more, and you couldn’t be more frustrated. This man, Akutagawa, had gotten multiple love letters, and you tried to make him fall for each and every person he passed by at this point. Each time nothing happened.

How can one person be so dense? So… cold? He wasn’t given the marking of someone aromantic, nor asexual, so nothing is stopping your arrow from piercing his heart besides his own stubbornness!

The day was nearing its end and still, nothing! What would happen if you couldn’t complete your job today? Would you be demoted? Your wings revoked? Or… would you be banished from Heaven to live life as a human!? That’s a fate worse than death! You know it’s taboo, but you were too scared to fail…

Your feet padded against the wooden floor as you hastily dressed yourself, falling and slipping since you weren’t used to not having to counter balance your wings. Yes, you had taken upon a human form, and now your mission was to make him fall for you.

Dressed in your finest, you strolled down the street, spotting him out of the corner of your eye. Now’s your chance to catch his attention.
