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?

Ron let out a choked gasp. He could feel his heart racing and he wanted to shift uncomfortably, but at the same time, he felt frozen to the spot. This flattery, Ivan's forwardness, his deft fingers... No, he didn't think he could handle it on top of everything else. But he stayed still anyway.

"Hihh...! Erm, y-you really m-mean it...?" he asked shyly, trying to distract himself to the best of his ability. "E-Even so, I don't th-think I compare to you, not a-at all... Hee..."

Ivan was impossibly attractive to the thief, but to top that all off, his voice was smooth and calming. If there was anyone he wanted to stay with for the rest of the day, Ivan managed to top his memory of Desirée by far - or perhaps that was the work of the Cupid Bots. Who could say? Regardless, though he also tried to calm himself while in Ivan's presence, Ron remained mindful of his increasingly intimate touch. Way too many things that made him want to melt...

"Of course," Ivan reassured Ron, leaning in close so he could speak into his ear.

"And maybe not, but you're still beautiful. His hand trailed up a little further, dangerously close Ron's groin. Suddenly he draws back, putting a normal distance between the two of them.

"I just remembered something!" He propped his chin up against the back of his hand, grinning.

"Today's Valentine's Day, riiight?" Ivan doesn't say anything more just yet, hoping Ron will catch his not-so-subtle drift.

Valentine's Day! The date had totally slipped Ron's mind. Somehow, he felt as though there was something important he was supposed to be doing, and that forgetfulness made him a bit anxious. But he wouldn't demonstrate that; after all, nobody seemed quite as important to him as Ivan at this moment, and avoiding the prompt might come across as strange. So as far as he was concerned, he had no plans for the rest of the day. Not if Ivan wanted him to stay with him.

"Y-Yes! I-It is!" replied Ron, almost a bit too enthusiastically. The way Ivan posed the question made it seem as though he took a mutual interest in him... Could it be so? He clasped his hands together, feeling the sensation of butterflies in his stomach. Oh, but if he wanted anything from Ivan, he should be more assertive...

"Ah-! Umm, if it isn't t-too forward of me," he began, tilting his head to the side, "M-Maybe, if you don't h-have any other plans... ..." He couldn't bring himself to finish his request. He felt far too nervous to continue after he realized that he really was being forward about it.

When Ivan had woken up this morning, the last thing he had expected was to have such a beautiful man become suddenly enamored with him. It was almost too good to be true; Smash Academy suddenly wasn't looking so bad.

So as Ron spoke Ivan leaned in, his eyebrows quirked curiously, seemingly hinging on slightly younger man's every word and bidding him to continue his proposal.

"If I don't have any other plans...what?"

Oh no, Ron wasn't getting out of this so easily. Ivan wanted to hear it; he wanted Ron to ask it himself, not allow Ivan to fill in the blanks.

"Ah- Ah- Hah... Uhm... Th-That is... Erm..."

Wow, how could he ask this question? A million ways to phrase it passed through his mind, but once he noticed that Ivan had become even just a little closer, all of those ways became one jumbled mess. He'd have to start over with that, somehow.

"I-If you don't have... Any o-other plans... Maybe we c-could..." Ron took a deep breath before continuing; "Spend some time together...?" He steeled himself for rejection, as though he expected it fully. He wasn't very confident in himself, not at all.

Ivan waited in glorious anticipation as Ron stuttered out the words. The older Russian already had his acceptance all worked out, so as soon as Ron was finished he coolly replied.

"Well...I don't usually accept these sort of offers..."

Playing hard to get was too much fun, and Ivan would seem desperate if he so readily accepted Ron's advances, now wouldn't he?

"...but I guess I can make an exception this once."

With that settled, Ivan slide off his chair and rose to his feet. "So, where do you want to go?"
