“Doest anyone knoweth what marvelous day tis today?” Don quixote suddenly says at the once quiet bus. “Ah! Do you mean valentines day?” “c'rrect! tis the day of giving gifts and loveth to our fellow comrades!” And she was right. Today was valentines but everyone except for don quixote had realized.
“Well, does anyone here have their valentines picked out?” Rodion asks while trying to hide her giggle. “Faust does not celebrate such event. But for today, I want to see why such a holiday is celebrated.” “Charon agrees. Chocolate. Sweet and yummy.” Vergilius sighs at their response facing charon, he says “Charon, stop at the nearest chocolate shop.” The sinners celebrate at vergilius’s words. Happy with the slightest bit of rest.
After parking the bus, the sinners make their way into the small chocolate shop. “Uwah~ it smells so sweet here.” Hong lu comments as the sinners stand in awe at the different kinds of chocolates displayed through the glass. “Alright. All of you get 30 minutes to get chocolates.” And with that, the sinners disperse to get their chocolates.
“Hmm, what flavour would be more ideal…” “Oh, Yi sang! Thinking hard for this one eh? Are you maybe thinking hard for your special someone~?” Yi sang flinches at Rodya’s voice and blushing hard at her question. “N-No.. I just don’t want them… to be ill for my decisions or to be unhappy.. that is all.” But Rodya knew that everything she heard was all a big lie. “Oh come one~ You can admit it to me, I wont spill your secrets even if greg says so~” Through with her persistence on getting to know who yi sang is getting chocolates for. He sighs before beckoning her closer. “It is for... Meursault…. But I do not know his favorites nor am I courageous enough to approach him myself..” Rodion smirked ever so widely. Satisfied that her persistence worked yet again. “Don’t you worry yi sang, this big sister will ask it for you.” She said with a reassuring smile as she walked over where Meursault is observing the chocolates.
“Meury~! I have a question for you.” “Hm? Do tell.” “What’s your favorite type of chocolate?” Meursault ponders for a minute before replying back. “I do not have a determined ‘favorite’. But if my memory serves me right, Dark or milk chocolate comes to mind.” Rodion takes a mental note before scurrying off back to yi sang. “Dark or milk chocolate… ah. I now know what to give him. Thank you, rodya.” “Oh, don’t thank me just yet for what I have planned.” Rodya smirked with the last few words she spoke but yi sang paid no mind and told the worker about the chocolates.
After 30 minutes has wrapped up. All of the sinners return to the bus with either a box or two of chocolates. “Don quixote… do you really need that much?” Ishmael said while looking at the blonde with a plastic full of chocolate. “Aye! For this bag is for everyone!”
While everyone exchanges their chocolates. Yi sang takes a long deep breath before approaching Meursault. “F-For you..” Yi sang shyly says as he looks away to not meet his gaze. “Ah. Thank you. I have also gotten something for you.” Hearing this, yi sang hesitantly turns to Meursault as he’s faced with a box of chocolate with a note that says “Happy valentine’s!” with a handwritten heart. Presumably meursault’s writing. “A-Ah.. Thank you for your generosity..”
After obtaining the box of chocolates, yi sang scurries off fast back to his seat. Heart thumping loud and face flushed at the moment. “Good going there yi sang. This big sister is proud of you.” Rodion says while wiping off tears of happiness. “Ah, before I forget. This is for the two of you~ won these back when I won a game of gammon.” She hands yi sang two coupons. “What are these for rodya?” Looking around, she beckons yi sang closer to whisper in his ear. “These coupons are for a 5* motel for adults. And these coupons don’t expire so… if you ever get the courage. Make sure to use this okay?” processing this information, yi sang’s whole face turns beet red at the implications and what these coupons are really for. “T-Thank you rodya…. I will use this when the time calls for it.” And with that, the day ended signifying valentine’s end. But to yi sang. He will cherish this day to his heart.
