Yujin x Joanna

"Are you sure this is going to work?" wide, pale and almost ghostly looking eyes search beautiful rosy red ones, as they began to finish what seemed like the last few petals of their plan together. Usually, Yu's never been much of a hard worker, preferring to flick things at Amorette in favor of actually getting any work done, much to her annoyance, but with something much bigger at stake (more like someone he sincerely wanted to impress), this was a different story. He's merely given a hum as his answer as Amorette continued her way around the now larger looking room, throwing confetti into the straggling corners of the room and checking the hung up decorations.

The day had been a long one, one filled with decorating Yu and Jo's small apartment with ribbons and confetti and all things pink-- in short, all the things that could have been Yu's worst nightmare (not to mention the clean up afterwards). But the man had to admit, his apartment didn't look half bad like this, even as he stood at the doorway with his arms crossed and hair shadowing his face. Jo's friends were supposed to be keeping her away from home until midnight- when this entire... plan was supposed to be revealed, and to be frankly honest, Yu couldn't wait.

As Yu gazed at his (horrifically pink) decorated apartment, he shifted his gaze first to the reds and pinks hanging off the walls, to the blood red rose petals Amorette was currently sprinkling in every direction on the bed, from the doorway. "Is this really necessary" he whines. Clearly unhappy with what he has to clean up after the single day was over. "Kalontine's Day isn't even that special, why do we need a special day to tell the people we love that... well, we love themmmm" he groans, stumbling towards the red satin laid mattress and then flopping down without a care.

He digs his face into the unwrinkled mattress and sends the rose petals flying, for only a second before he yelps in surprise and finds himself against the carpeted floor, a huff coming from the other kalon in the room as she makes a face of disapproval at him. "I just made that! Stop ruining my decor, if you aren't going to help" she reprimands with flaring nostrils. Yujin just groans and lays against the floor, his hair beyond ruffled, but he doesn't care.

Theres a sharp nudge against his side just as he closes his eyes and Yujin jumps again, for the second time that evening. "Get up, its almost 12 and you need to stop looking like you just rolled on the dirty ground or something" the sharp voice sounds and again, Yujin groans for the umpteenth time that night. "But-" "Now, Yujin"

There's a pause. And then some rustling and then Yujin's bumbling towards his and Joanna's shared bathroom to fix his hair and freshen up, a fresh outfit in tow. He looks at himself in the mirror and can see the ruffles of his hair where his bun had become untied and messy, his bands which stuck in all directions, and his cloth which were now wrinkled with darker specks (presumably dust) clinging to it. Overall, it was easy to say he- "Hurry up, stop staring at yourself in the mirror"

A wince. Yu quickly closes the door and changes out of his outfit, reties his hair and brushes out his free bangs and strands of straggling hair. He turns in the mirror, before the subtle click of the apartment door catches his attention. As if his drowsiness and fatigue just magically disappears, he suddenly feels a childlike excitement course through him. Joanna's home.

With a grin unconsciously growing on his face at the thought of Jo's reaction, he dashes out of the bathroom, towards the decorated room and the lights are already off. Amorette is one step ahead of him, even as he slips into the room and hears Jo call out. Its 12 0'clock, and Yu's ready. He feels restless and has an almost gleeful happiness coursing through him. He knows he has the stupidest grin on his face, but Yujin cant stop himself, even as he hides at the door way. He's shaking, he can hear Amorette giggling at his excitement and he sends her a glare.

The Kalon he writes a "Will you be my Kalontine?" card to does not exist.

I poured the glitter, shaking it onto the card. Oops. Too much... picking it up, I bent it to try to tip it back into the pot. Uh oh. Now it was all over the floor. "Um ... Amorette?"

She turned and she laughed! She wasn't angry, wasn't annoyed. She simply picked up the dustpan and brush and swept it up again. "Don't worry," she told me with a smile in her eyes. "Even the best of us make mistakes."

I nodded, feeling a fool. I picked up the glitter again and carefully I tapped out a small shower of the sparkles onto my card. Then I picked up the pen and wrote out a message. Happy Kalontine's Day. Picking the card up, I slid it into its envelope. I sealed the envelope and stuck a red heart on the front. Then I gave it to Amorette to put in the basket with the others.

"Keep on, Robin," she said. "You're doing great!"

I made 22 more. There were 25 of us in my class, including me. So what about the last one? Wellllllllll, I was gonna make that one special.

Picking up the glue stick, I spread it in a heart shape on the front of a card. Then I sprinkled red glitter onto the glue. In the middle, I drew a picture of her. She was smiling, and her eyes were bright. I coloured it in, using just the right colours and adding shading to make it look realistic. I added a border of red roses around the card, to symbolise love. Will she like it? I wondered. Will she like ME? Opening it, I drew her again, this time running, her hair flopping around her face. Then I wrote, using my best glittery rainbow pen, Will you be my Kalontine?

writing prompt - day 5

The place was a mess. I knew that. There were broken roses strewn about the floors, necklaces and bracelets all tangled up in big heaps, and half-eaten boxes of chocolates covering every square inch of shelf space. Okay, so the chocolates were mine. But everything else? Mistakes I had to fix before tomorrow, or risk losing more kalons to the Goddess of Broken Hearts.

‘Amorette! Amorette!’ A small chubby kalon ran up to me. He was an apprentice, I remembered, sprouting the tiniest feathers from his back that just passed as wings. Now, what was his name again?

‘There’s a flower-mix emergency in the Bouquet Room!’ he chirped in his squeaky unbroken voice. I nodded at him to lead the way. As I walked, I tried to hide the fact that I was desperately trying to recall the boy’s name. It was there somewhere, I knew, hiding in the overgrown flower beds that were my brain. I recognized his huge eyes, his curly hair, his innocent little smile…

Maybe that’s because all the apprentice cherubs look like that, a tiny annoying voice in my head whispered.

Shut up, I told it.

The self-argument had totally blown my chance to figure this boy out; I could tell by the overwhelming scent of flowers that we’d reached the room. ‘Uh… thank you.’ I told the boy, and his huge smile made me feel even guiltier for forgetting his name. I hurried through the doorway, making a mental note to create a list of all the apprentices. It joined the other notes I’d made in that dark, bush-infested corner of my brain. I’d get to them all, I would. Someday.

The supervisor’s cries drew me out of my extremely unorganized headspace. I hadn’t been listening to his rant, but I saw the problem before he could tell me again: it was abunch of flowers, sitting on what I like to call the Table of Shame. This bouquet had been seemingly put together by a colorblind monkey; it had hot pink roses mixed with green-yellow lilies. Firstly, everyone knows that lilies and roses don’t mix. And secondly, the people who tell you that green and pink are ‘the next big thing’? They’re lying. They’re lying, big-time.

I pushed the supervisor guy out of the way as I beelined for the Table. He kept talking. I kept ignoring him. I’d faced countless problems like this before, especially on the day before Kalontine’s. This was my job: to make sure no act of stupidity, no matter how big or how small, ended up in a broken heart.

Because I was the Goddess of Love, and I wasn’t about to let anything get in the way of my day.

day five


xxxxAmorette cautiously raised up her one of her (many) last decorations to attach to the walls. Her exuasted wings could hardly lift her into the air. She scanned the room, There has to be a ladder somewhere.. she thought calmly. Amorette made a swift decision to leave and look for one instead of hopelessly staring around the room. She strided through the hall for a short period of time until she caught light from the kitchen. She peeked through to see a kalon frosting cupcakes.
xxxx"Pip?" Amorette called out, the startled kalon turned around and Amorette spotted a startled look on her face.
xxxx"Hey Amorette, I'm almost finished with the cupcakes." Pip anounced with a smile.
xxxx"Oh! Sorry I hadn't come to check," Amorette replied, blood rushed into a cheeks a bit, she was usually flawless at this "I have a favor to ask though.."
xxxxAmorette lead Pip to the almost fully decorated room, of course Pip knew where they were going, she just liked taking the lead on these kinds of things. Amorette opened the door to the horrible scene-
xxxx"What's wrong with it?" Pip asked curiously. Of course she wouldn't notice, but this still made Amorette a bit nervous.
xxxx"It's missing some stuff.." Amorette stated, feeling her confidence leave her.
xxxx"Why can't you put it up?" Pip asked curiously.
xxxx"I kind of wore out my wings," Amorette abruptly explained to her, "I have to reach pretty high"
xxxx"Oh, I see," Pip replied, looking around on the floor for something. She grabbed a roll of streamers and some tape and placed it in a confused Amorette's hands.
xxxx"What-" Amorette began to say, before being cut off by Pip grabbing her by the waist and lifting her up.
xxxx"Sorry, I'll tell you next time!" Pip joked, and she giggled like a young kit, which made Amorette laugh a bit too.
xxxx"It's no problem, I just hadn't thought about this, " Amorette replied with a smile.
Pip walked to the corner of the room, bringing Amorette with her. They taped up a few streamers, then got to the hearts and finally finished a they neared spending only 15 minutes.
xxxx"I can help you with the cupcakes if you want?" Amorette offered suddenly.
xxxx"Any help is welcome! I don't mind." Pip replied, happy about the fact that she didn't have to frost a million cupcakes by herself.
xxxx(in classic narrator voice) Along with making a quality party room, Amorette made a new friend.

It wasn't often Valence decided to work pro-bono, but it was clear Amorette had an important job to do. And, most of all, the two of them were friends- just acquaintances from back in school, but close enough he didn't want to be rude. If she had the patience to listen to him explain the differences between alternating and direct current, even if she had clearly gathered none of it, she deserved a bit of help sometimes.

Though not an electrician by name, Valence had some sort of sense as how to not destroy every electronic he touched... unlike Amorette, clearly. The whole staff was in a tizzy, as it was less than a day before the big event. This was not to mention the disaster of the electricity had suddenly sparked and gone out in the venue. Having fully booked the place for the prep and day of the event, it was clearly an issue on their end. The real challenge was finding it.

Valence just smiled and nodded as Amorette explained everything they had done in intricate detail. For the most part, it seemed perfectly reasonable. Just a couple of power strips to add some heart-shaped string lights, and some electric heaters to keep some of the food warm during the event proper. Though he had suggested they perhaps switch to gas heaters, there was no time to acquire that many in time for the event. So Valence was mentally shifting and weighing different possibilities in his mind as Amorette went on.

Unfortunately, two whole hours later, he still couldn't quite manage to get the power fully on. He'd burned through about five new fuses, and honestly felt pretty dumb. Running on nothing but caffeine and determination didn't seem to be helping. It would probably be better to take a break, he told himself. Clear his mind of trying to balance the obviously finicky circuits in this building.

As he walked into the bathroom, flashlight in hand, he narrowed his eyes. Rapidly, he turned around and walked towards Amorette.

"...What's up with the bathroom?"

"The bathroom? Oh! Well, the girls wanted to be able to do their hair before the big day, sorry about the mess."

Valence shrugged and walked back to the bathroom. Though he took a moment inside, he quickly came back out, toting no less than thirteen hair driers. He set the pile, tangle of snakelike cords and all, in front of Amorette. He seemed almost... proud, but at the same time exhausted.

"Well, I found your problem."

[Cynderheart]

Xerxes shuddered, pacing back and forth. He was so worried, and Amorette wasn't helping! He bustled about his house, fur on end, eyes wide. "No, no no! Where is it!? AMORETTE!!" He whipped around, growling softly, glaring at the pink Kalon before him. "Did you move that pearl necklace I had laid out?!" He snapped, baring his teeth. Amorette giggled, and showed him the box she had found. "I did, yes. I went ahead and put it in it's very own velvet box to keep it warm and safe for Andreas. You really love her, don't you?" She asked, and Xerxes went silent. He looked away, ears dropping to the back of his head. It wasn't a secret that Andreas was so much younger than him; he was honestly terrified she would reject his gift. Tears suddenly sparked in his eyes, and he whimpered loudly. Amorette moved to him, licking the tears away. "It's alright, Xerxes. It's alright."

He shook his head, trembling. "I do love her," he finally admitted, looking away, eyes distant. "I just don't know if she loves me back," He admitted, meeting Amorette's eyes. The Valentine's Kalon snorted and butted Xerxes, laughing. "She'd be dumb to not love you. Look at you; you're amazing! You spent so much time with that necklace, making sure everything was perfect! But, you also have to take into account her age, too, Xerxes," she said softly. "She was born after you, and you're already full-grown. So, you know people are going to wonder about your relationship." Always the voice of reason, Amorette, and he thanked her for her honesty. "You're right. I know. I just hope she doesn't hate me," he muttered softly, shaking his head and taking the box, sighing. "I'm ready," he said, moving to the door, taking a deep breath. "Go get 'em, tiger!" Amorette said, grinning as she watched him go.

Internet huffed at his empty living room. Proxy had gone out for who knows what saying along the lines of something related to trees and the future. He'd hoped to get atleast a single decoration up on the wall or maybe a new rug? How do other kalons do this and with such little time as well..

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard something fall from one of the cupboards which had caught his attention, what is she doing.. sighing he went to find Amorette putting back a fallen plate, supposedly for the heart shaped cookies on the counter that she had insisted on making for kalontines day. When Amorette heard a rough 'ahemm' from the kitchen entrance she saw Internet standing there looking confused with an expression that was clearly mocking her.

Not wanting to be asked as to what she was up to, Amorette decided to pop in a question before Internet could even begin speaking.
"How's the decoration going?" Amorette asked tilting her head a bit. She didnt really mean it to sound sassy or anything it just came though like that. The other kalon let out a sad sigh and flicked his tail saying that the progress so far has been going nowhere. He was scared to think that Proxy thought that he didnt love him enough to bother putting up a simple decoration or have anything set up.

Amorette shook her head and walked past him muttering a simple "You're so helpless." under her breath while the other scoffed. Internet followed the cupid into the living room staring at the floor thinking of the horrid possible outcomes. He looked up when said cupid pulled out a small heart shaped rug from who knows where and presented it in front of the other, smiling- grinning even brightly "You like it? I made it myself!" Internet's eyes widened a bit and nodded fast, meaning that he most definitely likes it.
Maybe Amorette helping out wont be as bad..?

with my girl momo

amorette had called the day before, she needed someone to help her with a new type of card she was trying this year. with momo's knowledge of plants she called her for help naturally. momo has agreed to help her and picked a bunch of flowers the day before, she smiled as she was excited to help the cupid. she was no packing all of the flowers into her car, she hoped this was enough for all the cards that amorette needed. she waved to marcus and got in the car, quickly driving to where amorette said to meet her. it was at a beautiful park under one of the gazebos.

she arrived twenty minutes later and got out of the car, she saw amorette running towards the car and waving at her. she smiled at the cupid as she started to pull out all the flowers she brought along, she felt amorette helping her with them all. "Hopefully this is enough yeah?" amorette giggled, "More then enough dear!" they finished picking the rest up and carried the armful of flowers towards the tables under the gazebo. they laid them out and momo turned to amorette, "What do you need all these flowers for now?" she said with a questioning look. amorette bounced on her feet a little, "I'm making pressed flower cards for everyone!" she squealed. momo had heard of this before but never done it herself or seen it on this large of a scale. "You sure we have enough time to do all of this?' she looked at the tabel with all the flowers and the cards of all different shades. "Kalontine's day is tomorrow.." she said concerned. but amorette looked as though she didn't have a worry about it, "I have others coming to help out! also we can let them sit over night with weights on them so don't worry girlie!"

momo shook her head and laughed, she walked over and began to work. grabbing a few flowers and a few cards, she saw amorette had already wrote in all of them so all she had to do was place the flowers in the cards nicely. and that she did matching colors and flowers. for hours her and amorette worked, other came and went but momo stayed all the whole time until the sun was going down. momo had just put down the last card, she took a breath and relax. "Phew that was fun!" she giggled and look to amorette. "I better go now marcus would be antsy by now for me to get back." she stood up and grabbed the rest of her things.

amorette walked her to her car, "Thank you so so much for your help today!" momo smiled and shook her head, "It was no trouble at all, it's very sweet of you to do all of this." she smiled and hugged amorette before hopping in her car. she waved out the window as she drove off. she took a breath and realized how much it smelled of flowers in her car, she smiled.
