[MINGLE] chocolate and roses

[vrdr_mods]

It's Valentine's Day, and that means just one thing for the inhabitants of the Velvet Room: chaos.

And chocolate, possibly. Or even something else? Or perhaps you're spending the holiday entirely by yourself?

[[ooc: just a quick catchall post for any toplevels or threads people might want to make for the holiday! Feel free to make inbox or journal posts as well.]]

And this—this is all he wanted, for the two of them to connect and snark a bit and do something a little bit special. His eyes gleam.

"Okay, okay. And we can still do that cooking lesson, if you really want. You can help with dessert."

Listen, at least he didn't say dishes.

Ren doesn't even care. He wants to help with dessert. "What are we having?"

[lakebrat]

"Wait and see," he says, squeezing Ren's hand. He glances down for a second.

"I wasn't lying about Aki-chan, by the way. He really did insist."

It's not hard to picture. Goro didn't even want to turn him down. Part of him is still four years old.

"It's hard to say no to Aki-chan," he says sympathetically. "One Halloween, I ended up running around in a dragon costume with him in a princess dress on my shoulders."

[lakebrat]

That's quite the image. "Did you really?"

A dragon costume, eh? Then again, Goro got to see the real thing.

[willowandoak]

"Yeah. Then me and him tore down a giant gingerbread house. It was great."

His stomach growls as he remembers the food on offer that night.

[lakebrat]

As Ren's stomach growls, Goro's smile gains a bit of an edge. "You are hungry."

The curry is still smelling incredible, too. And Goro skipped lunch. He should have got a gingerbread house. With Aki-chan.

[willowandoak]

"Never said I wasn't." He tugs on Goro's hand with a smile. "Feed me."
