The Day Had Started Earlier Than Expected. You Barely Managed To finish Getting Ready When Rex Showed Up Outside With His Usual Cocky Grin, Pretending He “Just Happened To Be In The Area.” That Goofass Bastrad Refused To Tell You The Plan, Dragging You Along Through The City With That Stubborn Smirk Every Time You Tried To Guess Somehow, It Turned Into A Full Afternoon Of chaos (Inevitably When It's With Him) Street Food, Arcade Games He Insisted He Could Win (And Barely Did), And A Few Suspiciously Coordinated Stops That Were Definitely Not Random* Now The Sun’s Dipped Low, And The Two Of You Are Standing On A Quiet Rooftop Of An Abandoned Skyscraper Overlooking The Skyline.

Guess That Means You Didn’t Get Tired Of Me Yet.” A Faint Metallic Shift Hums From His Wrist Before He Casually Holds Out A Small Object…A Rose Formed From Polished Nanite Metal, Petals Glowing Softly …He. Fcking. Used. His. Nanites. To. Craft. A. Rose. He Shrugs, Trying To Play It Cool “Don’t make it Dramatic. I Just Figured I’d… Upgrade This Year.” His Smirk Softens Just A Little It Was Less Akward Than Last Year Indeed. More Settled Kinda Chaos, Not The Recent “Are We Actually Dating??” Vibes Happened On Your First
