In which Kidd and Nanami get away in the middle of the dance to talk at the cafe.



Kidd: *walking down the dock, too embarrassed to look at Nanami* It's cold out here--do you want to go to the cafe? D:

Nanami: *still being in her school uniform, yeah it is freezing* Of course I do!! What're you doing anyway? What's going... *trails off as she follows him and wonders if this could be some kind of a surprise.. or something!*

Kidd: It's just that the cafe is a lot warmer! And, uh, y-yeah. ;;; *reaches the cafe and holds the door open*

Nanami: *dusts off her skirt and enters nervously* ... If you pull anything funny, there's gonna be fists flying. D:

Kidd: F-funny?! *remembers something vital he forgot and points to a table* Go sit there! I'll uh.. I'll be right back!!!

Nanami: Ki-Kidd, don't just-- oohhhh!!! *sits down in frustration and plays with a leftover fork like a little kid*

Kidd: *gives an NPC waiter an order to get Nanami a hot coco and runs out the door suddenly*

Nanami: *wondering if leaving the party was such a good idea after all ~ Percival promised her a dance, too* ... Of all the times he had to ask me to speak with him... ah, jeez!

Kidd: *runs back after about five minutes, then practically shoves a bouquet of flowers--borrowed from the infirmary, of course* THESE ARE FOR YOU, OKAY? XO *blurts*

Nanami: *a little frightened by his sudden outburst, but turns red as she sees the flowers* Uh..?? For me...? *she takes the bouquet and smells it, still not sure what's going on however* Th-thank you...?

Kidd: Y-you're welcome. XO *sits across from her with the other hot cocoa awkwardly*

Nanami: *fiddles around with the flowers now instead of the fork and smiles* So what did you wanna talk about, huh? Don't tell me this is it!

Kidd: *opens his mouth as if thinking of what to say, but gapes like a fish* Uh... I... I have this mystery I can't solve. XO

Nanami: *gasps and suddenly turns serious, putting her flowers down on the table and leaning forward* Wh-what is it? Do you need me to investigate? Is it about Mr. Euram's stolen money?! I can cook up a brainstorm right now if you want me to!

Kidd: *omg dying inside* No, it's way m-more serious. *goes to take a sip of hot cocoa, but can't sit still*

Nanami: ... A murder mystery?? *frowns, feeling very concerned* Should I be getting involved in this...? Oh boy...

Kidd: *verbally trips all over himself* saldkjfWhy didn't you give me an answer the other day??

Nanami: Uh?? *blushes slightly as she remembers the moment Kidd publicly asked her* What do you mean? Didn't I give you an answer?? Oh gosh, what did I say??

Kidd: *flat look, himself turning red, and feeling that all-too-familiar "I'm going to make a fool of myself" sensation all over again* Basically, you went all googly over Camus. >___>

Nanami: Whaaaat?!? *covers her cheeks* I DID NOT!!! Why do you always have to bring him up??? What the heck is googly anyway?! How did I look to make you think I was googly??? asgfgagh*sputter*

Kidd: Why do YOU always have to bring him up?! I ask you about something with us, and you bring Camus into it!! D:

Nanami: *looks blown away by his accusation, whether it may be true or not* ... I-I.. I dunno why that's such a crime anyway! I told you that I'm not really... urrhhh.... *nervously looks down at the table*

Kidd: *gulps a little, trying to remember Camus's advice, but everything feels as though it's flow from his memory* L-look. I'm... not trying to make you bad, but when I have a mystery, I need to solve it... and.. and I want you to be my Valentine, but I don't want you to say okay if you don't want to. I've been sitting here guessing what to do ever since then! Usually I just have clues to piece together, but I have nothing this time.

Nanami: *can't believe he's treating this like a mystery, but realizes that's so Kidd* ... You mean, I really didn't give you an answer on that day?? *feels a little bad, because she was flattered about it for sure*

Kidd: *frustrated frown* You completely left me hanging! After Camus came up in the conversation, it was like I never asked! D:

Nanami: Oh... .___. I-I'm sorry... *awkwardly pauses for a moment* Wo-would you like to ask me again? *looks hopeful* ...

Kidd: *doesn't want to be rejected again ;;--takes a long drink from his hot cocoa mug u_u *

Nanami: *feels like she's the one being rejected now* ... If you can't say it, m-maybe you could write it down, or sign language, or something...? ._. *taking a drink as well, although not feeling so thirsty as she's nervous*

Kidd: *pushes the bangs away from his other eye--Eugene did a great job setting his costume up, but it was hard to feel serious when you had limited depth perception* ... Willyoube myValentineNanami? *sputters*

Nanami: *suddenly looks up at him, completely surprised and yet very pleased* ........ Yes? *she says it carefully, to make sure the answer is clear and Camus-free* ///

Kidd: *exhales; a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders, then turns red and starts to grin like
an idiot* R-really??

Nanami: *quietly* ...... Really. ... Although I dunno why this was such a big deal anyway, Valentine's is over and you pulled me away for this??? 9///9;; If that's all you wanted, you could've just asked me when we were dancing!!

Kidd: I-I wanted to do it in private! When I asked you publicly... well... I mean... you see where that got us!! And I'm serious! So... I don't want someone like Percival messing things up.

Nanami: Oh... well, I'm sorry again! I don't mean to be so distant sometimes! If you must know, though, I-I was really happy when you asked me on that day! I thought you didn't like me anymore because you didn't visit me in the infirmary, and I was too busy to talk to you during that crisis, and... *trails off* .////.

Kidd: *looks back down at his cocoa* I'm sorry for not visiting you--that wasn't very nice of me. I was feeling kind of jealous about a lot of things. But... can you be my Valentine next year too?

Nanami: *ponders about that, she wouldn't mind being his Valentine every year if he asked* ... Do you think things will be the same with us, one year from now?

Kidd: I... I hope they'll be even better every single year, to be honest. I can't look into the future--even the best detectives can't do that. But if things stayed the exact same, I'd be happy with that too.

Nanami: *smiles and stands up* I hope so, too, and I think they do get better, we just don't notice it sometimes! Am I right? Hehe~

Kidd: *stands up too awkwardly, his hair falling into his other eye again* That sounds kind of suspicious... but I don't think I'd really want to solve that phenomenon. *smiles a little too, still
feeling all that she said yes*

Nanami: You know, if we step outside, we can still hear the music a little bit. *smiles and offers him her hand, all ladylike* Would you like to have one more dance with me, my Valentine? -^^- *laughs to herself a little*

Kidd: *turns beet red* A-are you sure? It's really cold out! *takes her hand anyways, partly out of fear that she won't offer it again*

Nanami: *going by her endless supply of romance novels, it's probably not that cold when two people dance together in the snow* Oh c'mon, it's just one dance! You won't even feel the breeze that much, I bet!! *giggles and leads him outside, not taking no for an answer*

Kidd: *tails along behind her, still holding her hand--is secretly glad that he's in Eugene's clothes instead of his shorts* You're right--I can hear it--they must still be partying like no one's business there. *grins dorkily*
