March of the Tropes Day 29: Unrequited

Set between ARR and HW. Haurchefant hopes Agi will notice his overtures...this time. SFW.

Lord Haurchefant felt confident as he walked to Agnes Currai’s room at Camp Dragonhead. A bouquet of flowers he had obtained from the Haillenarte greenhouses was in his hands. Mayhap this time she will notice my overtures. Fury, pray bless dear Agnes. She’s been through so much and deserves more than…give me the strength to be a friend to her and possibly…perhaps…more. When he arrived at her room, he took a breath and knocked.

“One moment!” He heard from the other side of the door. As well as what sounds like a near trip! “Oh, Haurchefant! Oh goodness, are those for me?” Agnes asked with a note of wonder in her voice.

Haurchefant bowed his head slightly. “Aye, they are. I thought perhaps my dear friend would like some flowers to brighten her room.”

Agnes gratefully took the bouquet and smelled the fresh flowers. “Oh Haurche, these are lovely! I adore them! You shouldn’t have gone to all this trouble!” She began to ramble, smiling wide. Dearest lady, you have the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen. I pray there will be more occasions to see your beautiful smile. “Really! I bet these cost a fortune!”

Haurchefant chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. “Ah, yes…well, I called in a favor with Lord Francel—”

“Francel? How is he?”

“Very well, my dear. He was nice enough to get these for me. You deserve them after all you’ve been through these past few days.”

A small pout appeared on Agnes’s face. An adorable pout! “Ooooh, thank you! You are so sweet and such a good friend.” While Agnes was not short by any means, next to Haurchefant she absolutely is, poor thing. She got on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. AH BLISS! “Thanks again. Have a wonderful evening, Haurche.” Blushing furiously, she went back in her room and closed the door.

Ah. Well. Mayhap a grander gesture is needed? I’ve given her flowers, chocolates, hot chocolate…

I know!!!! A chocobo! Yes, that will be perfect! She loves animals.

Alas, much to Haurchefant’s frustration, the chocobo received the same appreciative “thank you” and a kiss on his cheek and a massive hug! She loves hugs so very much, and so do I!
