[ the time has come for the VALENTINE'S DAY event! is currently skipping every which-way in his white and red outfit, wearing pants just like rob requested. ... well, they're shorts, but it was better than a skirt, right?

nonetheless he moves about quickly, greeting and seating people as they come along. everything is practically covered in red, pink, and white hearts, streamers, balloons and flowers all tastefully designed and hung up in a very orderly (but not overpowering) manner. the small, circular tables are set up everywhere, leaving enough space for people to have their privacy. said tables are covered in lacy white tablecloths, a single white, pink, or red rose residing in the middle inside a simple white vase. oh, and the chairs sort of look like this. cute, aren't they?

in short, valentine's day must have thrown up inside the mansion, but at least it didn't look too ridiculous or cluttered. ]

[ takes another sip of his own tea, seemingly thinking it over. ]

Oliver wouldn't disagree with Simon.

[ takes a sip as well, looking down at the table. ]

... I know. But he's getting better, I think. At choosing things for himself, I mean.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ is actually pretty pleased at this. ]

I see.

[ closes his eyes and smiles, taking a long drink. ]

Oliver mentioned you in conversation a few times, by the way.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ pauses in mid-reach for a piece of cake. ]

. . . ?

[shytype.livejournal.com]

[ looks up, somewhat amused. ]

I think he misses you, Rob.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

. . .

I didn't think we spent enough time together for that. [ is still somewhat pleased, though. ]

Mm. I don't think Oliver knows he's feeling that, to be honest. But he looks hopeful when he mentions your name.

[shytype.livejournal.com]

[ pauses, thinking about it. ]

He probably looks up to you.

[ a little uncomfortable with this topic. ]

I'll say hi. Before I leave.

[ ... stops himself, looking down at the table. feels a bit bad since he sort of feels the uncomfortable vibe. takes a sip of his tea in the meantime. ]

I think he'll like that.

[ changes subjects. ]

What else is planned for today?

[shytype.livejournal.com]

Hmm. This is it, actually! Are you surprised~?

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

. . . a little bit.

[shytype.livejournal.com]

I wanted to keep it simple. All people want to do on Valentine's Day is spend it with the person they love, right?

[ if anna's hand was closer, he'd have grabbed it. so he settles with a soft(er) smile. ]

Yeah.

[ lets them bask in the moment, taking some time to let the comfortable silence pass between them. ]

[ ... until anna gets that look in his eyes, one that says 'i'm going to tease you now'. ]

Speaking of, is your loved one coming today? Hm?

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ braces for impact... ]

I don't know. Maybe, to say hi to you.

[shytype.livejournal.com]

[ looks SO. PLEASED. that rob didn't give a scowl. thinks he's finally taking it in stride, though, so just beams and nibbles on a tiny PB&J sandwich. ]

Nonsense! I have a special table set up for you two.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

[ finally got his hands on that cake he wanted. munching on it. ]

Is that necessary?

[shytype.livejournal.com]

Of course it is!

[shytype.livejournal.com]

[ suddenly realizes something. puts down his cup and gives a sheepish look. ]

You don't have to, though.

[strongtype.livejournal.com]

. . .

We -- I -- can't stay for the whole day.

[shytype.livejournal.com]

[ perks up! ]

That's quite alright, Rob. I know you two want to be alone for Valentine's Day, after all.
