Who: Avitus and Aoi (

eyewillprotect), closed if you don't live/stay with them.
Where: Aoi's house, where they live now, in Libra.
Summary: After the Taurus event, neither are in the best of moods. So Avitus is going to try to make her feel better. ♥
Warnings: Cuteness? IDK, none yet

Those odd few days hadn't been good to either of them. He'd been a mess for no good reason he could put a finger on, jumping at shadows and even taking days off from his job at the town hall -- a desk job, at the moment! -- because he'd apparently forgotten how to face people, transit, and the possibility that he'd see the cat that'd been wandering around Libra now and then. Worse still, he was pretty certain Aoi'd noticed.

And she'd been so kind to him through it, humoring his nervous delusions as though they could've had a rational basis of some kind. She'd insisted on handling all their dishes herself, checked around the corner every time he looked, wondering if he'd heard something....

And now that he was feeling back to himself again, he'd caught a glimpse of her, of something... a little different in her expression.

She'd gone out of her way for him, and even before that, her calm had always been reassuring. She was a soothing presence, something in her smile never failing to make him feel better. It was high time to repay the favor, and return that smile to her pretty face where it belonged.

He went out shopping after he got off work, and by the time Aoi found him in the house, he was busy arranging flowers in a big vase, whistling softly to himself under his breath (or so it sounded, except sometimes there were two notes at once...) and looking pleased about something.

On the table with the vase were a fresh bowl of fruits and a pair of obvious presents for someone, smallish parcels of shiny silver paper wrapped around something soft and vaguely longer than it was wide, with curly ribbon holding it together.

Well, this is new. She's come home from a long day at school (made more difficult by the fact that for once, she really didn't want to be in attendance, but at the same time could not quite bring herself to skip). She was looking forwards to a restful night, punctured perhaps by her usual nightly patrol (something she currently held a bit higher than even schoolwork in importance, and thus not something she could easily skip either).

But then there was this. All of her previous plans flew right out of her head, replaced by curiosity. "Umm... Avitus? Is today a special date?" She wonders for a moment if perhaps it is his birthday, although she quickly remembers that would have made him a Taurus, which he certainly did not display any signs of during... well, that time. But if it isn't that, then... what on earth could it be?
