a Valentine’s Day one.

[zacrifice]

[is valentines day a thing in their world In truth the question was more of a formality for what to wear, he would go to any party if she invited him.]

Sounds good! Been years since I really went to a party. Usually I'm on guard-duty!

[flowerpeddle]

Hm… What colour should I wear, then?

[zacrifice]

Let's see... [They did pink last time, so she's covered there. Hm-] How about blue? Usually I'm the one in blue, but I bet you'd look great in it too!

[He's also usually in uniform. When's the last time he went somewhere looking less... "official" with her?]

[flowerpeddle]

Hmm, okay! Does that mean you have to wear pink, then?

[zacrifice]

Uh.

[Does he?? That would be only fair, admittedly. Has he ever worn pink before? (No. No he has not.) Well whatever, no time like the present to try.]

If you want me to wear pink, I'll wear pink!

[flowerpeddle]

[ Aerith: irl loling. ]

You can wear blue. Or purple.

[zacrifice]

[Well now it's a challenge.]

No, no! I'm committed. I can find something pink, probably.

[Time to go shopping and find out if anyone makes pink shit in his size.]

[flowerpeddle]

But then how are we going to match?

[zacrifice]

Oh, you want to do matching outfits? We can do that, sure.

[QUIETLY... RELIEVED... he would wear pink for her but he does not have confidence in his ability to shop for it.]

[flowerpeddle]

[ Giving him an out! ]

I think it would be cute. Want to go shopping together?

[zacrifice]

Hey, yeah! It's been a long time since we did that.

[Shopping with Aerith usually meant her browsing and him insisting on paying for whatever she wanted, since he was so rarely in civvies. It'd be an interesting new experience to a) shop for both of them and b) not be the wallet-holder, since she probably has as many if not more spoons than he does. Not that she ever took advantage of it, he just liked to buy her stuff because she looked cute in whatever it was. What else was he supposed to do with Shinra's money anyway?]

[flowerpeddle]

When do you want to do it?

[ She is definitely going to be the one paying now :) ]

[zacrifice]

I'm free any time! You wanna go today?

[flowerpeddle]

Hmm, yeah, okay! We could get something to eat, too?

[zacrifice]

Absolutely! Dinner'll be on me! What do you want to eat?

[flowerpeddle]

Why don't you surprise me?

[zacrifice]

I can totally surprise you. Just leave it to me! I'll blow your socks off with how good this food is.

[Taking this too seriously? Nonsense! It's a date, gotta nail it.]

[flowerpeddle]

Okay. I trust you to blow me away.

[zacrifice]

Just wait! I promise, best date ever!

[...Wait that's a lofty goal. They did some pretty cool stuff in Midgar.]

Or, best date in years!

[flowerpeddle]

I'm very excited. I went on a really fun date recently, so you've got a lot to live up to.

[zacrifice]

You went on a date?? With who?

[He is NOT jealous, she's allowed to live her life, there will be no pouting-]

[flowerpeddle]

Cloud took me on the Ferris wheel at the Gold Saucer. It wasn't really a romantic date, though.

[zacrifice]

I didn't know there was such a thing.

[Wait why wasn't it a romantic date. Cloud! Aerith deserves a romantic date! What kind of man are you.]

Ahh, wait wait! You went to Gold Saucer!? That's so cool!

[flowerpeddle]

We ended up in the prison for the most time, actually, but we did go! And I got to be in a play.

[ She's laughing just thinking about it. ]

I guess it was a little bit romantic, but it was mostly just because we were friends.
