#I think nadia's love poem today is 'when I too long have looked upon your face' by edna st. vincent millay

So. Those Valentine asks. 10 for Nadia, either Kurt or Vasco, they both need to hear it. :P

2 and 6 for Kira, and 4 for Kai, whichever of her various partners you wanna answer for ;)

Kira (randomizer picked Mason for her 😂):

2. What's the best way to wake up with your partner?

I wouldn't know. Mason isn't big on spending the night. But there was one time we accidentally fell asleep on the couch together, and I woke up to him clinging to me like a koala with his face pressed to my neck. That was... nice. I could stand to wake up like that more often. A lot more often.

6. Say something nice about your partner.

He's loyal. Almost to a fault. Once he considers you one of his people, he'd do anything for you. And he's... really sweet. I know that sounds crazy to anyone that's met him, and I wouldn't have believed it when we first met, but I don't know what else to call it. He keeps surprising me. Also, he's really fucking hot.

Kai (randomizer picked Rekke):

4. What's a gift you want to give your partner but haven't yet?

I found a recipe in one of the books he gave me from Yezuha. Some of the ingredients have proven a little difficult to get ahold of, but when I do, I want to cook him dinner. To give him a little piece of home. He doesn't say it, but I can tell he's homesick. I hope I can help ease that a little.

Nadia (I just decided to do both :3):

10. Go tell your partner you love them. Now. Go on.

Kurt is never far away from her, so he's easy to find. His first thought when Nadia cradles his face in both hands is that something's wrong, but she just smiles and says "I love you." His concerned frown softens into pure adoration, and he pulls her into a tight hug. "I love you too, Green Blood. So much," he says eventually, voice muffled with his face pressed to her shoulder and rough with emotion. They stay like that for a long time.

While Nadia and Vasco don't mind saying "I love you" in the more straightforward way, their favorite way is through their shared love of poetry. She trails kisses across his cheeks and jaw, whispering the words against his skin. And when she's done, he returns the favor. Thoroughly.
