The Forsaken Valentines Entry 1

The Forsaken Valentines Entry #1

A small, slightly ripped pink paper heart was tossed around in the street; dipping in and out of pot holes and swirling to avoid cars rushing by, before wafting up and slipping through a small hole in a cracked window.

Perched at the top of a staircase, Tomio scowled as he watched Lucian nuzzle warmly against a tan cat with purple pointed protrusions and a purple downy fluff collar.

"Just look at them..." Tomio glared bitterly at the two. "I thought he was 'too busy' to have time for petty affections."

"I think its cute." Suishou poked her head around and saw Lucian enticingly hold a poffin between his teeth. "Lucian found wuv."

"How did he get her anyway?" Tomio expertly hopped to the window still, catching a small paper heart that blew in through the window.

"For me no doubt?" Suishou smirked slightly. "What shall we do for Valentines?"

Tomio froze in a moment of terror.

Glancing around, Tomio saw a nearby bakery had a Valentines display. "Let's go out to the town and have a day we won't forget."

"I'd like that." smiling, Suishou wrapped her twin tails around Tomio, nuzzling his cheeks. "I'll get ready dear."

Tomio sighed contently, watching Suishou walk into a room, her red gem casting a soft rose glow over her light purple fur as she slipped out of sight.

"...I can't let her down this time..." Tomio's sigh in dismay as he remembered what happened last year. Ensuring no one was watching, he slunk near a hole in the green carpet, rummaging around briefly before finding a plain red pouch on a string. "We won't need to steal this time..."

Slipping the sling over his neck, he concealed the touch under his yellow ribbon, just as Suishou poked through the door.

"Ready to go?" Suishou smiled warmly.

The two headed to the door. Tomio effortlessly leapt up to twist the handle, the door opened with a swish as the two walked out, Suishou's twin tails wrapped around Tomio's.
