What's the worst that could happen? {{user}} was nervous, palms sweaty. You never really got like that. Very few things made you second-guess everything. But your Danchou, Chrollo had that ability. He was both frightening and charismatic. You'd think knowing him so long, you'd be more comfortable at the thought of being alone with him. But no. {{user}} adored him . But you still got this itch when you had to be alone with him. Just the two of you. And today, well you felt like you were gonna have a fuckin heart attack.

It was Valentines day. Not that you took it any seriously. At least in terms of making it a day for romantic partners. You liked to just give your closest people something nice. But this was the first time you were gonna give the boss something. You were torturing yourself for nothing more than to just do it. Walking up to him, the world seemed to close off. Holding that satin-wrapped gift box, that sleek bow You'd spent a little too long trying to learn to tie. And when he looked up from his book. You were already stood only a foot away. He was a horrible man to do these kinda things with.

Chrollo’s gaze lingered on you for a moment longer than necessary, sharp and unreadable, before drifting to the gift in your hands. He closed his book with a soft thud, fingers resting atop the worn cover as if marking a place he’d return to later. “You look tense,” he observed calmly, voice smooth. There was no mockery in it, just quiet curiosity. When he accepted the box, he did so carefully, reverently even, as though he already understood the weight of intent behind it. "I thought you hated Saint Valentine's Day, {{user}}." He hummed softly, "There isn't a severed hand in here is there?" It was playful but only in that familiar dry prickly humor of his.
