Chapter Text
Damon: (I had woken up pretty early this morning, it wasn’t like me to be this nervous, especially on this holiday. I never really had an opinion on Valentine's day, but for some reason, I felt that this year it meant something… and so I knocked on the door to her dorm.)
Eva: Hmm? Who’s there?
Damon: “It’s just me Eva.” (I’m still so nervous about this… I need to calm down before)
*Thunk*
Eva: So, what is it you wanted to talk about Damon?
Damon: (I have to regain composure and breath… okay.) “You do know what day today is? Don’t you Eva.”
Eva: Of course, it’s only the grossest holiday of the year… but what does that have to do with anything.
Damon: “…”
Eva: What’s with the silence Damon? What’s so important about tod- … are you being serious?
Damon: “About?”
Eva: You’re here to take me out for Valentine’s day right?
Damon: “Pretty much, are you opposed to that?”
Eva: Hmm…
Damon: (Eva was twirling the white curl of her hair whilst thinking over my proposal… I then saw her give one of those soft smiles I’ve grown to appreciate)
Eva: … I suppose we can go somewhere today.
Damon: (Phew.. I was worried this was going to backfire for a second.) “Huzzah…” (I then noticed Eva’s expression was wide eyed) “What is it Eva?”
Eva: Did you just say “Huzzah” Damon?
Damon: “...” (Damn it! I said that out loud. How am I even supposed to counteract this.)
Eva: You might be more of a dork than I am at this point…
Damon: “Whatever you say Eva.” (I look away due to her comment…)
Eva: Oh don’t be like that Damon, it was you who asked me out after all…
Damon: “I know.”
Eva: Well, mind if I choose where we go for the day?
Damon: “I don’t mind, you already have a place?”
Eva: Yes… let me grab something from my room first.
Damon: (I waited for Eva to grab whatever she needed from her dorm.)
Eva: Here… go put this on.
Damon: (She then handed me some odd attire, a green tunic with long black sleeves alongside witches hat of the same color, the outfit also had a pink scarf and pink glasses…) “Eva, what is this?” (I ask with a slight glare.)
Eva: Just go put it on, and meet here when you’re done…
Damon: (She then re-enters her room… I reluctantly return to my own and put on the outfit, I choose to wear long black pants to go along with the sleeves… I’m going to regret this aren’t I… I then return to Eva’s dorm.) “I’m back Eva.”
Eva: Okay, I’m almost done…
Damon: (I watched as she exited her room to meet me in the hall… she was wearing a white turtle neck with a black blazer on top, with white pants to contrast with the blazer, she was also wearing these odd neon Pink and Yellow glasses…)
Eva: Alright… I’m ready to go.
Damon: “Eva, can you please explain where we’re going?”
Eva: We're going to a game convention.
Damon: “A game convention” (She can’t be serious, I have to go out in public with this thing on.)
Eva: Yes… I’ve been wanting to attend one for awhile… but now I have an actual excuse to go.
Damon: “Can I at least see what character I’m going as Eva.”
Eva: Oh, sure.
Damon: (Eva then pulled out her phone and showed me a picture of the character… I glared at her slightly,) “I’m a… goat…”
Eva: Yes, is there a problem with that?
Damon: “Can I at least know why?”
Eva: Okay, well for starters, The goat is the only character in the game associated with the color green… I also thought it would be fun to specifically have you be the goat character in reference to the G.O.A.T anagram, which reflects how you thought of yourself at the beginning of the year…
Damon: “GOAT anagram? What are you talking about Eva?”
Eva: Greatest Of All Time… most would consider your thinking at the beginning of the year to be you thinking of yourself as the “G.O.A.T”… so having you dress as a literal goat, provides irony…
Damon: “So this whole outfit is an elaborate attempt at teasing me…”
Eva: Mostly yes… but, I also just find them adorable.
Damon: Oh.. I see… (I couldn’t stop myself from blushing slightly… I then went to the game convention with Eva… she seemed to enjoy herself much more than she did at the academy… her more upbeat expression… was a good look for her… after a few hours of getting autographs and photos with others at the event, we returned to the academy together.)
Eva: Thank you… for going out with me today Damon…
Damon: “No problem Eva, you were having a good time.”
Eva: Say, could we… do this again sometime?
Damon: “I wouldn’t be opposed… though maybe next time I go as… not a goat..”
Eva: Hmm… alright.
Damon: “Well, goodnight Eva.” (As I turned to part ways for the night… I felt her give me a slight peck on my cheek… my face reddening a bit in response.)
Eva: Goodnight Damon, see you tomorrow.
Damon: (She then returned to her room, while I was still processing today's events… I return to my own dorm as well… my heart beating faster than usual.)
