Not focussing on romantic love, but showing everyone they care for that they love them on this day turned out to be the best idea they ever had.

Not like Gin herself was precisely against the romantic part of Valentine’s Day, quite the opposite; they had been wondering, weeks prior, if he maybe should take matters into their own hands and make a move. Which she was determined to do, just not right at the moment. They could leave it for later or even any other day… besides, trying in the moment he would less expect it had a nice and amusing ring to it. 

“Please, tell me these chocolates don’t have lemon inside.” Tachihara said, only half joking, while opening the box Kajii had brought.

“Pfft, obviously not. It’s orange. And they're very good, okay?” Once the box was open, Kajii took one of those chocolates himself.

“They are!” Higuchi instantly agreed, passing a bag full of cupcakes to Hirotsu. She even took one too once her hands were free. “You have to try them, senpai.”

Ryûnosuke simply nodded, focused on opening the boxes they both had brought, aiding himself with his ability. 

“Oh, what are those?” Tachihara didn't need to lean in so close to Gin in order to see, but he did. And they weren't going to be the one complaining.

“Macarons.” Gin and Ryû said, in perfect synchronization they didn't lose when reaching to take one each.

Not focussing on romantic love, but showing everyone they care for that they love them on this day turned out to be the best idea they ever had.

Atsushi himself had been very well aware of how he wasn’t going to have any other plans for… reasons, part of them being he just wouldn’t dare… yet. Then a brief comment about being free talking to Kenji had kickstarted it all; he had instantly suggested going for celebrating love on a broader sense and started selling the idea out around the office.

So there they were, in the office’s kitchen, finishing the final touches of a cake they had baked with Kyôka.

“Couldn’t you have done it at home?” Ranpo said, eyes fixed on said cake and with an amused tone. “I mean, stop the teasing already? Please?” Yosano and Dazai instantly bursted into laughter, likely in agreement.

“It was Atsushi’s idea.” Kyôka swiftly replied, utterly ‘betraying’ him.

“C’mon, I didn’t wanna risk ruining the decorations on the way here…” The walk may not be exactly long, but still.

“You kinda sound like my first boss.” Yosano said, and snickers followed. “It’s a compliment, she was a sweetheart.” After that last comment, Kenji’s head turned towards the doctor’s direction, clearly in awe.

“Can you tell us more? No pressure.” At that point all of them were aware, in different levels of detail, of what her life had been before the Agency. And most curiosity revolved around everything before the war, for obvious reasons. Besides, it didn’t take a genius to understand she preferred them being nosy about that part.

“Only if I can skip the embarrassing stories.”
