Fifth Rose: heart in a box [TEXT]

[formerabyssinian]

I could have done without the oddly shaped chocolate.

Does anyone want this? I'm not a big fan of chocolate, and this is not helping to change my mind.

[some stuff and text]

*Aya might not have spent his Valentine's Day with anyone, but he should have encountered a single red rose outside his apartment. It was the most beautiful, fullest rose that Selphie could find in the shop, and she'd saved it especially for him. There hadn't been a name on the card, such is tradition, but he could probably guess. It had said:

Happy Valentine's Day!
A Flower for a Flower Shop Owner
(well, I guess you never get them...)
xxx

But for now, there is a text from said giver:*

Tee hee! Why not give it a try?

[He definitely saw the rose, and it's in a vase in his windowsill. She was right: he doesn't get flowers himself often.]

[The same signature signoff as the mystery flower giver. Hmm.]

Don't you think it would be a bit...creepy?

[text]

[booyaka_boom]

*Yay! Windowsill! She won't ask about the rose though, cause it's kinda scary*

Creepy? Eating chocolate? Uhm, I don't think so! :)

[text]

[formerabyssinian]

I meant eating chocolate that is very accurate to an actual human heart.

[text]

[booyaka_boom]

I guess...maybe. But it's only chocolate! Try a nibble! ^^

[text]

[formerabyssinian]

I'm not interested.

[text]

[booyaka_boom]

Right. I guess that's fair enough. Maybe someone will want it.

[text]

[formerabyssinian]

I hope so. It would be unfair for it to go to waste on me.

[A second text is sent a few seconds later.]

Who is this?

[text]

[booyaka_boom]

*She was in the middle of replying to the first one, but deleted it to reply to the second*

Just a friend! ^^

[text]

[formerabyssinian]

...right.

[He can kind of deduce who this is, if only because he doesn't have many people he can consider a 'friend'.]

The same friend who gave this rose?

[text]

[booyaka_boom]

Maaaybeee. Is that bad?!!

[text]

[formerabyssinian]

No, it isn't, but it would be nice to say thank you.

[text]

[booyaka_boom]

Uhm...you're welcome..

*Well, at least text was easier for that*

If you truly want to be rid of it, I think I know someone who would be happy to take it off your hands.

[formerabyssinian]

Good. When did you want to have it?

text;

[fulmination]

If you'd like, you could just have a local deliver it to Vanitas at Ikashun whenever you see fit. Fifth floor, first room on the left.

[formerabyssinian]

Even better. Although dealing with the locals is the price to pay to get rid of chocolate. [They creep him out, okay?]

I didn't know the locals go that far to deliver something.

[fulmination]

They can be rather amicable with the right attitude. A little politeness goes a long way with these people I've noticed.

Of course if they refuse just let me know and I'll come pick it up.

text;

[formerabyssinian]

I doubt I would have much trouble, but I'll keep that in mind.

[beautyindeath]

So many seem anxious to get rid of them. I wonder why?

I'll take it~

[formerabyssinian]

I'm guessing they're odd looking.

Someone already beat you to it, but if I run across another one, I'll send it your way.

[beautyindeath]

Oh? But aren't these closer to resembling what they supposed to be than those simple shapes they sell~

[formerabyssinian]

That's the problem.

[beautyindeath]

Such a shame, i think it makes the gesture more meaningful. Since a person is unable to live without it, or be quite whole.

[formerabyssinian]

I've heard of people getting these chocolates with names etched into it. That's a little too much meaning for my tastes.

[beautyindeath]

Oh? And just whose names have been engraved I wonder?

[formerabyssinian]

I didn't bother to look. [A lie. One he says with a straight face.]

[beautyindeath]

Not all of them were engraved. Only certain ones.
