WHO: Mio Sonozaki & Leon Zhong
WHERE: Starting at Leon's apartment then a fancy hotel!
WHEN: 2/15
WHAT: Late Valentines Day date that starts off with pain
WARNINGS: Mentions of suicide. I'll edit in case anything else pops up!

[ They had twenty four hours for themselves. Admittedly, Leon was surprised when they were granted this day. It did kind of (actually majorly) frustrate him that they were stuck in the pits of hell for Valentines Day, but he made certain to make it up to his girlfriend. She deserved that much because he loved her and she's been through so much.

As much as he wanted to take her out starting early in the morning, he figured they both needed some time to do their own things. Leon spent the beginning of the day restocking on supplies and checking up on Jasmine. Being away from his dog princess was heartbreaking but he fully trusted her in the care of Sakura. By the time he was finished tending to everything he needed to do, it was a little late in the afternoon.

With the hotel room booked and all the presents gathered, everything was set! He also made sure that he was well dressed for this occasion. The last thing he needed to do was pick up the girl.

...

A sigh passes through his lips as he finishes straightening his tie. Mio's gone through so much and he was fully aware that she was suffering. But there wasn't a damn thing he could do to prevent any of this from happening. He closes his eyes and sits down on his bed, covering his face while looking defeated.

He's never felt this powerless before in his life. ]

Aren't you the picky one.

[ Of course, he means that in good jest. He expected that sort of response from her.

Now he's turning red from the sounds of her moaning. Shit... it's way too cute to be legal!! It's like an arrow going straight to his heart. He had to hear more so he continues to pat her head, but then freezes up when he listens to that memory of hers.

... Ugh. Satoshi.

Aside from him being the person that Mio loved in the past, something about that guy rubbed him the wrong way. The longer he listened to the memory, the more he frowned but he still made sure to pet her on the head. This is his way of proving that he's better, his heat pats are much more soothing, Satoshi!! (At least he thinks so) Once it's over, an unpleasant thought of Leon's manages to slip out.

'I honestly don't understand what Shion sees in him. Well, whatever. I am going to make sure that Mio falls in love with me more than him...' ]

Do you now? That's pretty sneaky, but mean to your sister.

[ Though he says that, he can't help but laugh a little. Mio truly is a mischievous one...

He's glad she understands too. If anything, Mio's one of the few people who truly understand him. Of course, having come from similar backgrounds, they both knew how it's like to be a heir and not have any sort of freedom.

This marks the moment in which Leon has ever felt the most free, being with her like this; in their own world.

Since he's feeling so free, he's smirking at how embarrassed she sounds. ]

That's a little unfair you won't show me. Now I'm quite curious. Are you sure about that? When you put it like that, it makes me suspect that you are writing something weird. Mio-chan is a pervert~

[ She's not eighteen yet, so obviously she's not legal! Joking aside, having those head pats from him is really enjoyable, but as to how it compares to Satoshi's... she's not sure.

But then she hears that thought and-- ]

Ah... you saw it. I just remembered that just now. Sorry.

[ She didn't expect him to see it, too, not while they're linked like this. ]

But I'm a good actress, you know! I can pretend to be whoever I want to be!

[ That also includes in front of Leon himself, but... she'd only do that if he wanted her to. But he doesn't mind her as she is, so she doesn't have to pretend to be anyone else besides herself. ]

I- I'm quite sure! The diary is just a journal of events and memories, anyway!! I'd never write anything weird! [ And in her fluster, she grabs a pillow from the bed and chucks it into Leon's face. Rest in pieces. Death by pillow. ] By the sounds of it, you're probably the one being a pervert, expecting that maybe I'd write down my lewd fantasies in my journal. I bet you're the type that would totally take a peek in my journal just to see what I wrote! Well, I'm not telling you where it is. After all, it's a girl's secret, so I have to keep it safe.

[ Spoilers: it's in her bag. ]

[ At first, he's quiet. But then he sends a soft smile her way and strokes the top of her head. As much as he detests Satoshi, he had to swallow down his pride. This isn't Mio's fault, it's not like she wanted to remember this.

Even so, he still can't help but feel a little salty towards Satoshi... ]

It's... fine. It's not like you are remembering these things on purpose, it's that application's fault.

[ And it makes him loathe the application all the more. Fuck Retrospec... ]

From how nervous you sound, it's only making me suspect even more. Not at all, I'm only speaking the words of truth. When you put it like that, it makes me even more curious as to what you wrote in your journal. I- [ But then that smirk on his face is soon wiped away from when the pillow suddenly meets with his face. He doesn't say anything as he slowly removes the pillow off and looks at her with a glare that's mixed with a furious blush. ]

If a pillow fight is what you want, then I will happily challenge you, Sonozaki Mio!

[ He's not one to back down from a challenge! Even with something as mundane as a pillow fight. There's not a single ounce of hesitation when sits back up and starts to playfully smack her with the same pillow she used. He had no intentions of losing!!! ]

Mm...

[ She doesn't sound entirely convinced, but she'll reluctantly hum in agreement nevertheless. But she does like when he strokes her head like that. She could melt into his touch.

But that only lasts a few seconds before pillow meets face and the moment it's off, she sees that face and she gulps. But if he's going to start a pillow fight, then fine! She'll take it!

Of course, if he attempts to hit her, she's going to roll away--

And off the bed. Ow.

He might have felt that, just a bit. ]

That... was not as planned. But I'm fine! [ For a questionable amount of 'fine'. ]

I'll get back at you for that!! But. First. I forgot to give you something.

[ Just let her adjust herself from her fallen position on the other side of the bed (she's good at this, she swears) and fix her hair, fingers threading through it before she smiles. ]

You don't mind if I grab that first, do you?

[ Before they get back to the most mature of pillow fights. ]

[ He's getting ready to grin and laugh at her but he can't even do that because of their connection and he's feeling the pain from her falling off the bed.

Ouch indeed... he's somewhat grimacing from how much that actually hurt. He'll be okay though! ]

Are you sure? That felt like it hurt.

[ He doubts her words, especially since he could feel her pain. He's quickly able to shake it off and adjusts himself on top of the bed. A smile curves on his lips as he stares at her, but he's holding onto the pillow just in case! ]

Oh? You have something for me? That's fine. Our pillow war can wait.

I'm fine!

[ Her voice is loud and she's trying to be convincing before she walks over to the closet and takes something out of her backpack and walks over to him where she hands him a small red box. ]

Anyway... here. I didn't get to give it to you before, since we were stuck in hell, so. I made this for you for Valentine's.

[ He doesn't really believe that but he's going to let it slide from the goodness of his heart. Besides, there was something more important than teasing her.

His eyes light up at the box of chocolates that she handed over to him. A scarlet blush colors his cheeks as he happily accepts it. ]

Thanks, Mio. I appreciate it. I'm glad you waited because I would have been sad if this melted.

[ He gives her a pat on the head as he stands up and makes his way over to his own backpack. After pulling out a few things he walks back over to her, handing her a box of store bought fancy gourmet chocolate and a box with a pink dress inside. ]

Happy Valentines Day, Mio. I hate that we had to spend it hell... so I want to make it up to you today.

Well, I mean, I got to tease you on Valentine's Day, so I didn't mind it at all....

[ And now she's getting her second wind because she's smirking about it, but she finds herself rather surprised that he got her so much. ]

But you didn't have to get me anything, you know. [ But this means she'll just have to give him something really nice on White Day. ] Thank you, though. By the way, I made that at home with Xiaolang, so it should be perfect. If it's bad, though... please tell me.

[ She's good at cooking, so it's fine. But she will open the gourmet chocolate and eat some of it right now. ]

It's nice. I really like it. [ Mio smiles rather pleasantly, grinning from ear to ear. ] Although I'm not going to be able to eat all of this in one sitting....

Don't remind me. I'm still mad at you for that.

[ To further prove his point, he sends a glare her way. How dare she talk about his embarrassing childhood days!! He made sure that he was going to get back at her one of these days.

His frown does turn upside down when she mentions that she made it with Xiaolang. Mio's cooking is always good, but this chocolate felt extra special knowing that she put love and care into it. ]

I wanted to. You deserve something on this day. [ He's eager to try it and he quickly opens the box and munches on the chocolate. ] It's delicious, Mio. The chocolate practically melts in my mouth. I love it.

[ Seeing her own reaction to his gift warms his heart. ]

I'm glad. I figured you couldn't since it's a lot. I want you to take your time eating it and enjoy it as long as you can...

Well, it's your own fault for being embarrassing.

[ That's not entirely true, but okay, sure, let's go with that. But when he munches on the chocolate and says that it's delicious, she can't help but smile. ]

Ah, is that so? Then maybe... you can feed me some.

No it's not! You shouldn't have shared it to begin with!!

[ A long, suffering sigh escapes from his lips as he stares at her with a pout. He's so weak to her so it's not like he can stay mad at her for very long.

He smiles and pats a spot next to him on the bed. There's no way he could say no to that. Today is their special day to make up for Valentines, and he wanted to do whatever she asked. ]

Sit closer by me and I will.

What, did you want that to just be a secret moment between the two of us?

[ But she'll comply, taking a seat right next to him and scooting closer to him as as she says only a single word. There's only one thing she should do. That she can do. Say 'aah', just for him. ]

Something like that.

[ The way he says that with a smirk sounds pretty ominous. The way she made that 'ahh' sound is really cute and he swallows hard, feeling his heart racing. He takes a piece of chocolate out of the box and places it in between his lips before leaning in to give a sweet kiss. ]

[ He says that it's 'something like that', and she can't help but almost want to frown for a few seconds. But he suddenly surprises her by placing the chocolate between his lips and then kissing her.

It's a sweet kiss indeed - which would have been more ironic if the chocolate he fed her in this manner was a Hershey's kiss, but it's definitely not bad, either. Unexpected, but not bad. Not to mention that there's chocolate, so.

She has to eat that now, with reddened cheeks as her eyes glance away with quite a bit of fluster. Honestly, Mio can practically feel her heart race. ]

[ Even though he was the one who initiated this bold move, he could feel his own heart racing as he was kissing her.

One hand reaches behind the back of her head as he deepens the kiss. His tongue softly passes the chocolate into her mouth, letting the delicacy melt within their passionate kiss. Not only was kissing her already a delight, it felt especially good with the sweet chocolate in between their lips.

With his hand moving over to cup her cheek, he slowly pulls away from the kiss, looking at her with a red face. ]

... How was that?

[ It's almost overwhelming.

Almost being the key word here, as he passes the chocolate into her mouth, allowing the chocolate to linger on her own tongue before he pulls away, allowing her time to chew and swallow before she can finally say anything. ]

Which are you referring to? The kiss or the chocolate?

[ The blush spreads across his face even more and somehow, he's feeling more embarrassed by her question. It didn't help that she looked so cute after he pulled away too.

Ah... he wanted to do it again. ]

B-Both. Did you like the kiss and chocolate?

[ He's sure that she does-- well, he just wants to make sure. Is all!! ]

The chocolate was nice...

[ Maybe she should tease him just a little bit. Even though they're dating, she still can do this much. ]

But I think the kiss could use a little bit of work. It's still not a ten.

[ Yeah, she's fucking with him. ]

Excuse me?!

[ HOW DARE!! At that Leon's narrowing his eyes and frowning at her. That kiss is totally a ten! In fact, it's worth a hundred. ]

Ha! You're probably just saying that because you can't get enough of my kisses. That's fine, I suppose I can indulge you.

[ With his hand still cupping her cheek, his other arm makes it way to wrap around her waist before he leans in for another, much more passionate kiss. ]

[ To be honest, his frown is a little cute... but she doesn't admit that aloud. But he's not wrong. She wants him to kiss her more.

So when he grants her wish, she can't help but moan excitedly into the kiss, keeping herself close as she deepens the kiss herself, obviously yearning for more. ]

[ It surprised him to hear her moan into the kiss, but he liked it. A lot. She sounded so excited and it's too cute.

'Her moans are so cute. It's so embarrassing but I want to hear her make those adorable sounds some more...'

Oops. That lewd thought leaves his mind but he couldn't help himself. He finds himself moaning into the kiss and eagerly parts his lips as he pulls her closer into him, wanting to feel her body heat. ]

[ There's a rather surprised noise that she makes at those thoughts of his, but she doesn't stop kissing him. In fact, it's that alone that makes her bring one hand on his shoulder to other to thread through his hair, keeping him close. ]

[ The sensation of her fingertips running through his hair felt so good. If he had to be honest, it was even better than when he stroked his own hair. He practically melts into the kiss, not wanting to part away from her. He yearned to feel more of her warm touch.

Everything was nice. Together, it felt as though they were in their own world in this room and he couldn't have asked for a more wonderful moment. The only thing he wanted was to spend the rest of the evening with her, just the two of them. ]

[ Her heart is racing so quickly that she almost can't help herself. Especially when she feels him melting into the kiss. There's no way that she wants it to stop. Even though she doesn't want to stop, she pulls away from him, but not too much that she's too far from him.

Mostly so she can tease him, just a little. ]

I heard those thoughts of yours. I didn't think that you were actually a pervert, Leon. ☆

[ When she pulls away, he felt a bit empty. There wasn't a single kiss with her that wasn't amazing and he didn't want it to stop. But it's fine. He needed to take a quick break in order to catch his breath.

Immediately, his face turns several shades of red when he hears her teasing. Shit! He's so embarrassed that she was able to hear his throughts from earlier. ]

I'm not a pervert! I just... y-you just sounded cute! That's all.
