Who: EVERYONE
What: CUPIDBOTS
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: VALENTIMES DAY
Warnings: None yet, but will be updated if that changes

Ah, February 14th. A day for loving lovers to love... But at Smash Academy, it meant something else...

At the crack of dawn, they appeared. Tiny robotic cherubs wielding bows and arrows. Those who had been at the academy for some time knew what they were: The Cupidbots. Obnoxious, potentially life-ruining robots with one mission: Fire their arrows at unsuspecting passers-by, causing them to fall in love with the first person they saw for the next 24 hours. They would be gone by the next day, but still for the best to try and avoid them.

WHAT DO?

He's totally going to continue looking at you like that.

"So I've heard, but nobody's given me anything."

Except a few pieces in the mailbox, but that didn't count. That wasn't the lavish dinner and candy platters he'd imagined.

Also the look he's giving Mac demands candy.

[star_punched]

"...Well we're gonna hafta change that do we?"

It was like as soon as Ivan expressed his pouty woes, Mac dropped everything and was like: GOTTA FIX DIS. Gotta fix it and make people happy and all better.

Weren't you freaked out about bots a moment ago? Ivan's neediness was more important now? Ooooohhhkay then!

"Sir, I was gonna give you some anyway. But I guess now that you're here, I oughta give it now, huh?"

HERE IT IS. It's a medium sized chocolate box filled with milk chocolates, dark chocolates, caramels...

[ivantheterrible]

Pouty woes? Oh, they were all as fake as Ivan's interest in being a good teacher! But he just couldn't pass down the chance at food, and acted up accordingly in order to get some.

"Ohh, how thoughtful~ I should have never doubted you," He quickly swipes the box from Mac's hands, giving it a gleeful look. Had he know it was only a medium sized box, he'd be a little less than happy.

Ivan rips open the box without another word and pops in a few pieces. "Mmm...delicious..."

[star_punched]

"Hahaha, well glad I made someone that happy today."

Mac then cautious looked both ways before making eye contact with Ivan again.

"Look and I don't mean to scare you but you oughta duck n' cover if you know what I mean. This day gets a bit dangerous, sir."

[ivantheterrible]

Ivan doesn't even respond to that, he's a bit too busy stuffing candy in his mouth...and cringing every now and then when he gets one of the more abhorrent flavours. You know the ones.

"Dangerous?" That, however, does catch his attention. "What do you mean, dangerous?"

[star_punched]

"Well uh..."

THIS IS. HARD TO SAY.

"...Sir, there's stuff out there that'll make ya fall in love with someone against your will. It's just for today but it's happened every year so far."

[ivantheterrible]

Ivan stares at Mac thoughtfully chewing--did he taste coconut? Ohh, and was this one marzipan?

There better be more than one caramel in this entire box.

After a silence long enough to make anybody uncomfortable, Ivan finally swallows what's in his mouth and answers, "Uh, yeah, okay. That's not going to happen."

[star_punched]

"Well..."

Um.

"...Then ya better hide or be real good at spottin' things fishy. Those things could be anywhere today."

[ivantheterrible]

"I don't need to do either, because it's not going to happen."

...Caramel! Ivan's face melts into a pleased smile as he enjoys that little chocolate treat.

"So...who are all those other candies for~?"

Mac you're holding out on him. Mac.

[star_punched]

"...I-if you say so, sir."

No really, what else. Can he say. He just hopes it doesn't happen.

"Oh, uh...for my other buddies. I'm tryin' to get this all done so I can go find my girlfriend so we can hide from this mess."

Which means, in nicest of ways, I'm giving it to OTHER PEOPLE.

[ivantheterrible]

"I do say so."

Nothing, Mac. You say nothing, because Ivan will listen to nothing.

"Oh, and who are--" Ivan's cut off, and he wrinkles his nose all of a sudden, "Girlfriend? Why would you spend time with her? We could be getting in some valuable personal training time, you know."

Don't spend time with your girlfriend, don't give candy to your friends. That's all Ivan's time and candy.

[star_punched]

"Because I love her?"

Mac was actually taken aback. Why does he need to explain why he was to spend time with the woman he loves? What was going on here?

"And it's Valentines' Day so that's an even bigger reason. We could do trainin' another time, yeah?"

[ivantheterrible]

Ivan just stares flatly at Mac as he stuffs another piece of chocolate into his mouth. Valentine's Day--that was about romance and dinner, or so he'd heard.

"Yeah, I guess. Go ahead then, go have fun with your girlfriend."

He snorts. Women.

[star_punched]

Mac legit cocked his head now. Seriously what was going on. He can't pinpoint it.

"Daisy's great, sir. She deserves the best...But no hard feelin's, right?"

[ivantheterrible]

Ivan merely wrinkled his nose in distaste as he ate another chocolate.

"Right, go ahead then."

His words may have given Mac permission, but the way he said them and that look said otherwise.
