七 ❀ valentine's event

[naicha]

<sub>[ Good morning, Taiwan! It's Valentine's Day. You have to wake up real early so you can get all the chocolate before the other girls do. That's the whole point of this holiday, isn't it?

Taiwan's wide awake - she's all dressed up, too! Oh, you thought she didn't have a date this year? Well, there's a certain someone she wants to give chocolates to... But before that, she makes a trip to the mailbox to check if she's received anything important. You may not know this, but she's pretty popular, you know! Or so she likes to think. But today, she doesn't find any greeting cards, flowers or love letters - only an envelope similar to the one that arrived last month. Strange. She wonders what it is this time. Picking it out of the mailbox, she opens the envelope - wait. Wait. Something's missing. Oh, right. Background music. ]

[ She opens the envelope... and all these memories start coming back. Her, and Hong Kong. They've always been together for as long as they can remember, but circumstances would always be the one to pull them away and break them apart. Not wanting to let go as everyone tells them to, they decide meet in secret. Hiding from China, being by Hong Kong's side despite everything - she'd grow to love it all.




WHOA WHOA WAIT HOLD THE PHONE. Does that mean she's been hanging out with him all this time and he knew, but didn't say a thing about it? That's horrible. She's horrible! What's worse is if he found out she forgot - oh, and she made all this chocolate with Ciel for Japan -

The chocolate. Oh. Oh no. Oh no, if he finds out, it'll break his heart. And we all know that Hong Kong is a big, fat woobie. She dashes back up to her room and takes the box of Hello Kitty-shaped chocolates in her hands. If she changes the tag, he won't notice, right? "Here are your chocolates, Happy Valentine's Day! By the way, I'm sorry I forgot all about our secret relationship, but I remember it now, so please forgive me, okay?" Like hell that'll work! W-well maybe, maybe if she leaves out that last bit, she'll be alright. She has to see him! But she can't let anyone else find out... ]

[ phone call; filtered to Hong Kong ]

[ in a hushed tone ]</sub> Wei, Hong Kong! Hong Kong! Can you come over? I don't wanna wake everyone else up. _{[ about to end it there, but then she adds, ]} Oh, and don't let teacher see you, okay? Bye bye. _{[ HANGS UP before he can say anything else because god if she heard his voice right now that'd be embarrassing ]}

[well Taiwan, fortunately, or maybe unfortunately depending on how you look at it, Hong Kong has only just remembered their affair too. she's told him to come round so she can kick him in the balls for it or something, right... or call it all off. that must be it. m-maybe if he doesn't mention it, it'll all be fine.

and flowers. he should take her some flowers. girls forget all kinds of crap if you just give them flowers... r-right. yeah. he'll do that. plus it's valentines day. he already has how to get her attention planned, he'll throw pebbles at her window, like they do in movies and stuff.

so that's why there is now (1) derp clutching some pink roses and flinging small rocks at Taiwan's bedroom window. it'll be pretty unfortunate if Japan's about and decides to stab him with a katana for it, but he'd look pretty cool and heroic if that happened, dying for their love... or maybe just really stupid.]

[naicha]

<sub>[ You jerk. It's not like she'll cry or anything if you get accidentally killed by Japan. S-stupid Hong Kong!

BUT OH GOSH WHAT IS THAT NOISE WHO THE HELL IS THAT... Is it one of those stalkers she sees on the news? Man, that's creepy. That's totally creepy! T-Taiwan's not worried, she's dealt with this before. yeah. She just has to get a weapon - ah, that glass of water by her nightstand. That'll do. Opens the window and... ]</sub>

How many times do I have to tell you to get lost!

<sub>[ THROWS WATER AT HIM.

oh.

THE GLASS TOO. ]</sub>

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

W-Wai-!

[well then

he wasn't exactly expecting that reaction

so the glass basically goes bouncing off his big, stupid, arrogant head LMAO. AFTER his hair has more or less been soaked.

he tries to escape it by diving behind some bushes, but obviously it doesn't really work out. o-oh god she must be madder than he thought she'd be.]

[naicha]

<sub>[ fat, you forgot fat.

Come to think of it, she does recognize that big, fat, stupid, arrogant head of his.

leans out the window... looking right down at him ]</sub>

Huooo, it's Hong Kong! I thought you were a stalker.

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

You thought-?

[...yes, yes. big, FAT, stupid, arrogant head.

and right now he can't tell if that's his heart skipping a beat at seeing her or a huge inner face palm... maybe a bit of both.]

No.

...I like, brought you these... [cue him awkwardly and derpily holding the bunch of very pink roses up, partially to guard his face in case any more glass projectiles come flying his way and partially to hide his totally uncool, soaking wet hair LMAO]

[naicha]

You... <sub>[ Flowers? For her? Even if he knew that she forgot... A-aww, that's really sweet. She doesn't know what to say! There's no way her little brother can be this cute. Ahhh, she holds her cheeks and avoids looking at him in the eye, this is too much. He looks so cute when he's awkward ahaha ahaha ]






[ oh he's still there. better snap out of it. ]</sub>

Um, just wait there, okay? You better catch me!

_{[ She takes the box of chocolates and gets into position. Yes, she's preparing for a jump... ]}

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[he sets the flowers down on the ground]

...Like, is that such a good idea-?

[oh no she's already getting into position and he can't say anything else because M-MUST APPEAR MANLY.

so he h-holds his arms out]

Okay.

[naicha]

I've always wanted to do this, so we gotta do it just this once. Please? _{[ it's too late Hong Kong you can't say no ]} Here I go!

<sub>[ JUMPS ]









[ This is an Asian drama now, okay, so she has to fall, land and accidentally kiss him, obviously. ]</sub>

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[or you know

she could fall

he could catch her

...sort of

the only downside is that he kind of falls over in the process

oh well, at least she still gets a pretty comfy landing

not sure about him though. OH GOD IT HURTS TO MOVE]

[naicha]

_{[ OH NO ]}

... I missed. _{[ ): She pushes herself up - she's still on top of Hong Kong, though. ]} You okay?

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

.........

Y-yeah. I'm totally fine... No big deal... [manly B|

OH GOD HIS RIBS]

1/2

[naicha]

_{[ smile!! ]} That's good. Don't worry, we can get it right next time!

[naicha]

_{[ and then she realizes how close they are, so she immediately gets off and sits up, clutching the box of chocolates that thankfully weren't squished after that. ]}

... Hey, you're not mad, are you?

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[n-no come back ;A;

oh well, he sits up too, although a damn lot slower and with some wincing involved] Why would I be mad?

[naicha]

_{[ n-no he's mad... ]}

'Cause-! _{[ Hesitates. Should she tell him? ]} 'Cause you knew, didn't you? That I forgot. Right after I said I wouldn't forget anything anymore...

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

Forgot what?

[he hesitates]

...I'm the one that forgot. I dunno how, but I did.

I like, thought that's why you threw the glass at my head at first..

[naicha]

_{[ shakes her head. no! why would she!! ]} Mm! I can't get mad if we both did.

<sub>[ she hides half her face with the box ]

Sorry.</sub>

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

No. I'm sorry too.

[he shuffles a bit closer to her]

...Must be the town that did it. 'Cause you know I'd totally never forget otherwise.

1/2

[naicha]

_{[ She does. She knows she wouldn't forget anything like that so easily, either. ]} ... Yeah. _{[ chuckles a bit. It feels like the first time they've seen each other in a long while all over again. ]}

[naicha]

Right! _{[ She stands and pulls Hong Kong up with one hand. After that, she positions herself and breathes in! And then, she bows and offers him her box of chocolates. ]}

Happy Valentine's Day!

_{[ o-oh she forgot to remove the tag with Japan's name on it... ]}

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[he takes the box quite eagerly, because Taiwan made him chocolates ;u; uguu uguu]

You like, didn't have to...

[UNTIL HE SEES THE TAG OF COURSE

and his whole face just kinda clouds over sob]





Oh.

I know you like, used to totally like him a lot before... You must have made these for him. I get it...

[naicha]

_{[ aiya ]} Eh? _{[ flips the box over to take a look at - haha oh ]} A-ah...!

_{[ Oh no, she's really done it now. Waves a hand, dismissing it. Let's forget about it, okay! ]} N, no! I'm over him now! I mean, that is, this isn't what it looks like-

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[h-his heart ;A;

he doesn't say anything to all that, just goes to fetch the roses and hands them over with a downcast expression still ._.] ...Happy Valentine's.

[naicha]

<sub>[ noooo don't give her that look ahhh she feels so bad ahhh worst valentine's day ever!

she's not going to give him though. hold the box close still. ]</sub>

It's true, I made them for Japan! So what? But I don't wanna give 'em to him anymore! 'Cause I remember you! 'Cause they're for you! 'Cause I like you!

_{[ woosh. also they're a waste so he better eat them all. ]}

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[yeah as if captain woobie can stay mad at her for long after that

and he shuffles his feet awkwardly and looks embarrassed now]

...I like you too. Well, like more than like... But y'know... [yep awkward turtle over here]
