"There!" Affogato beamed, putting the final streamer over his chamber door. He walked backwards, admiring the pink and red streamers that covered his room. "Perfect." He hummed, taking a seat on his mattress, waiting.
After a while the first watcher, Caramel Arrow came walking in. "Affogato?"
"Caramel!!" He stood up scurrying to hug her. "I am so glad you're here. Happy Valentine's Day!"
"Valentines? What's Valentines-." Before she could finish her sentence, Affogato put a chunk of chocolate into her mouth.
"How is it darling?" He asked with a beaming smile on his face. "Good right?"
Caramel nodded, chewing it before speaking. "What's with all the decorations? It isn't my birthday."
"I know it isn't your birthday, idiot. This is for Valentine's Day."
"Valentine's Day?"
"That's what I said, right? Don't look so confused." Affogato giggled and smooched Caramel's cheek.
"Wait, what is Valentine's Day?" Caramel asked, tilting her head.
Affogato looked surprised for a moment then he giggled loudly. "You don't know what Valentine's Day is??"
"No..?"
He sighed softly, holding out his hand, and said, "Curse the Cacao kingdom and its lack of Holidays." He smiled as he grabbed her hand. "Well, it's a Holiday where couples get together to spend quality time alone~. We also get gifts for each other." Affogato explained looking down at their intertwined hands.
"Oh.." She frowned. "I didn't get you anything..."
"Hmm~, I believe we can work something out later," Affogato smirked, rubbing his thumb along her knuckles as they held hands. "But for now, let's just stay together. I wish to spend time with you! You aren't busy right now, are you?"
"No, not for the next 24 hours." She held onto his waist pulling him closer. Grasping onto his cheek, Caramel kissed him. Affogato shut his eyes, sighing into the kiss. She smelled a tad sweaty but that was expected. You couldn't look pretty while fighting off the licorice sea. He didn't really mind at the moment though. The mage just wanted her next to him.
"Let's have sex," She whispered after breaking the kiss.
"You aren't settle at all, are you?" Affogato chuckled, nuzzling their foreheads together.
She chuckled, shaking her head. "Not yet, darling, you have to open your gift! And take a shower." He chuckled, kissing her nose before releasing her from their embrace.
"Alright, alright. What's my gift?" Caramel laughed lightly, watching Affogato walk towards his closet. "Ohh is it boba? Or is it a weapon? Is it a potion?" She continued rambling. But all Affogato did was chuckle softly, opening one of his doors.
"I got you this," He said, handing her a box that was wrapped in a beautiful pink silk ribbon. "Open it and see!" His tone seemed excited and she couldn't help but smile seeing the man so happy.
It seemed rather light as if there wasn't anything in it at all. "What is it?" She asked curiously while unwrapping it. She pulled out the contents inside. There was a beautiful golden chain with amethyst inbreed on it. "Oh, a necklace."
"Yes, yes put it on!" He clasped his hands together, smiling. She carefully slipped the necklace around her neck, tightening it up until it resembled a choker. "So how do you feel?!?" He asked with a grin.
"It's warm... and I feel a bit lighter." She attempted to look down at it.
"That's because it's enchanted, sweetheart. It will make you quicker and more agile in combat. So I don't have to worry so much when you are fighting the licorice sea. Plus I think it suits you very nicely!"
"I love it, Affogato! Thank you!" She gave Affogato a tight squeeze, which made him laugh. "I am truly appreciative of your gift." Caramel kissed him again, holding onto his waist with great force. "Now what about having sex~?" She put her face into his neck, kissing along his throat to his jugular.
"Mhm~! You stink. Go take a shower first!" Affogato pushed her away. Caramel pouted but complied going towards his bathroom. The mage sat with a smirk, waiting for his gift.
