[ Verse 1 ] Some girls are sweeties who will fill your life with joy. Some girls will break your heart, leave you crying on the street destroyed. But I don't like those girls. (Hey, hey!) Don't need them in my world. (Okay!) I need a special girl you don't find everyday.

[ Pre-Chorus ] Don't need an overachiever. (Good girls, bad girls, I don't love them.) Bad girls are just bad news. (No use, no, who.) What I'm looking for is a special class of girl who can kick my ass. [ Chorus ] Need myself a River City Girl!

[ Verse 2 ] Last night I took my boo on a nice romantic date, And I went to pay the check and she cracked my skull with a pasta plate. Said, "I don't mean no harm." (Oh no!) And then she broke my arm. (Just go!) And that's the kind of charm that I appreciate.

[ Pre-Chorus ] I've always got a concussion. (Please don't die, no, not for a date.) My spine's been fractured six times. (Oh, geez, stop, please.) But the fastest way to this boy's heart is to take me down with martial arts.

[ Chorus ] I can't quit these River City Girls. Will I survive these River City Girls? I might just die from River City Girls.

⛨ — "Trade? I can't say that I recall us ever speaking of a trade, nor do I understand what it is you wish to trade?" SURELY THAT HAD NEVER BEEN THE CASE CONSIDERING HOW KIA'S FACE HELD A LOOK OF MISCHIEF. Really, he probably should have expected something like this. The other was about as bad as Sylvain with her antics. Whether she was trying to gain a rise out of him and his friends, or simply because she felt like misbehaving. Her response only serves to make the blonde cant his head ever so slightly to the side as he brought a hand to rest underneath his chin as if he were thinking.

⛨ — "I cannot say I see an issue with fulfilling your request. Though in truth, it doesn't have to be a trade. Simply complying with your desire is enough for me, so long as you're happy."

⛨ — He had begun to grow used to Kiwa's antics — MUCH LIKE SYLVAIN'S, but he had to admit, there were times where Sylvain could still surprise him. Though that was one of the things he loved about them both, the fact that they were able to still be themselves despite everything was encouraging, perhaps their behavior was even a little contagious for he and Felix in the end as well? Dimitri takes a moment to lower his arm back to his side before reaching upward, carefully cupping his fingers against the back of Kiwa's neck to pull her lower. Happily placing a kiss upon the side of her neck.

⛨ — HOPEFULLY, with any luck, he had preformed the task properly.

⛨ — "I hope that my kiss was sufficient enough for your experiment, or at least close to being sufficient. Now you can tell the others about what you think, though if you'd like more options, I suggest asking Felix and Sylvain for one as well. Granted Felix may be a tad bit harder to persuade than Sylvain and I. I'm sure if you ask nicely, or in your usual fashion, Felix would be more than happy to comply... albeit a bit flustered."

starter call | @chronosbled ✿ ⧽ Dimitri .

❥ “So… I have a proposition, a trade offer if ya will…” a mischievous grin spread across her lips as she took a single step closer to Dimitri. Oh, she was scheming. She was up to something. Something no good, no doubt. Kiwa never had THIS look for any reason other than she was about to make this man’s face turn completely red.

“Trade offer. I receive: a kiss on the neck. Ya receive: a kiss wherever ya want in return~!”

Her and some of the girls had been chatting about it earlier— kissing, relationships, the like. Gal talk, you know? They’d gotten to the topic of kiss locations, and one of them kept insisting a kiss on the neck was the BEST… but Kiwa had to admit she hadn’t really had one. Dimitri seemed like he’d be a good sport about her little.. experiment?? Curiosity?

Plus, well, any excuse to be close to him was good.

“One of the gals was telling me it was all kinds of nice, but I’ve never had one before! I figured, y’know, ya would be a good person to ask…. But it’s also only fair I return the favor! I mean, if you’re okay with it, I mean!”

[chronosbled]

“Dimitri!” Kiwa’s voice was gentle— yet still excited as she called out to him. Today was Valentine’s day, and she had plans to make it a good one. The best one, in fact! She was going to woo the prince, and it was going to be just perfect. Absolutely perfect!

“Happy Valentine’s Day to my favorite prince,” she chirped as she held out a small fabric bag— one tied shut with a small pink ribbon. As she held it out, it was obvious majority of her hands were covered in a variety of bandages or scrapes of some sort— even more so than usual.

“I hope you like these.. I worked super hard on em just for you!” clearly. Inside the bag was two things— the larger a separate bag full of chocolates. They were obviously handmade, given the odd shapes and inconsistent way they seemed to have cooked…. unfortunately some were burnt. But Kiwa had tried her best!!

The second item was smaller— a cloth, a pattern hand sewn into the fabric. The pattern was intricate, the shape of a blue rose— and Dimitri’s name at the bottom corner. “Um… I hope you like them! The cloth can be used for anything really, I just hope it can come in handy! But, also… uh, do you maybe want to spend the day with me?”

⛨ — Valentine's Day had always been something that was held within the hearts of many, that was something he'd known from the time he was a child. When his father was still alive, he had often told him stories of how him and his mother spent those day's together, smiling and sharing treats with one another — sometimes even Rodrigue would even tell him about him and Felix's mother spent them, though Arita was much like Felix in the ways of hiding her genuine feelings. It was stories like those that often made the young prince wonder if he, too, had something like that in store for him as well in the near future. Little did he know that such a thing would come to him much sooner than he had expected.

⛨ — Hearing a familiar voice call out to him causes the blonde to glance over his shoulder, allowing for the person he was speaking with to make a quick exit, not that he had noticed or anything like that. Instead he was far too busy listening to what the woman he'd fallen helplessly for had to say, finally turning his body so that he was now fully facing her so she knew that he had his undivided attention. Blue irises taking a peek into the larger bag, looking over all the various different shapes and sizes of the cookies Kiwa had made for him, and yes... even the burnt ones — it didn't matter to him how they tastes after all, so long as he knew she made them with love, they were perfect — and finally he notices the small cloth with both a blue rose and his name hand sewn into it. He couldn't help the smile that began to take over his features, just like he couldn't help the flush of color in his cheeks either.

⛨ — "These are absolutely lovely, Kiwa. Thank you very much for taking the time out of your day to do such a thing for me." He has to admit that he does feel somewhat bad though. He hadn't made or gotten anything for her today, all because he had been so busy preparing other things that his classmates had been asking about — he's certain that Felix or Sylvain snatched up the chance to give something to Kiwa for sure while he was distracted. "I'm sorry that I don't have anything in particular to give you for Valentine's Day, but I do hope that this shall suffice..." And with that, his hands reach outwards towards Kiwa's face, cupping her cheeks in his hands before pressing a soft kiss to the other's lips for a few moments, slowly pulling away in a flushed manner.

⛨ — His gaze is casted somewhat towards his shoes now, eyes drifting ever so slightly off to the side, almost as if he was too embarrassed to look her in the eyes now. "As for your request, I would be more than happy to spend the day with you. After all, you are the person that I would give up all of my time for, either to just have a normal conversation or to run off together and do Goddess knows what." Sheepishly, he uses his free hand to reach over and take a hold of Kiwa's. It seems as if he was going to get to spend time with his companion just like he wanted regardless of what he had been previously doing.

[chronosbled]

It was so quick it could have been missed if someone weren’t paying attention— a split second kiss placed on Dimitri’s cheek when Kiwa was pretty sure the prince wasn’t looking. She just…. wanted to give him a little affection. Remind Dimitri she cared about him. She really didn’t know what possessed her to think kissing his cheek was the best way to go about that, but… too late to take it back now !!!

⛨ — IN ALL HONESTY, perhaps he hadn't exactly been paying all that much attention to the female standing beside him? He was far too busy looking down at the papers he had clasped tightly within his fingers, royal blue irises seeming to scan endlessly over the words written, no real expression indicating anything on his features. Realistically, the paper wasn't anything troubling or of ill nature, in fact it was actually from Felix's mother — given that she was like a second mother to him, especially since Rodrigue was like a second father to him — she was asking how he was doing and if Felix was behaving himself... because if not, she'd had to beat him with her shoe the next time she saw him. Her and Felix really were alike in so many various ways, like their attitude and aggression for one. Arita really was an interesting woman.

⛨ — There's a small chuckle that escapes his lips, THOUGH IT MOST LIKELY SOUNDS MORE LIKE A SIGH TO THE OTHERS AROUND HIM. He takes a moment to carefully fold the paper and place it back into the envelope, though just as he finishes doing so, he feels a sudden pair of soft, plush lips press gently against his cheek. Eyes quickly widen and a bright shade of color begins to take over his features, he certainly hadn't been expecting something like that — thus why he turns his head just enough to discover the culprit was none other than Kiwa herself — only prompting her to earn a shy expression from the male.

⛨ — "Goodness, Kiwa," HIS VOICE IS SOFT WHEN HE SPEAKS, "if you wanted my attention you certainly have it now." Even if that wasn't her intention, there was no way that Dimitri couldn't pay attention to her now. Most days, she was all he could think about after all. "Don't get me wrong, I will happily indulge in whatever affections you wish to give me, but when you do things like that so suddenly... it makes me feel so terribly shy." He was certainly very happy on the inside, that much was obvious.
