Happy Valentine's Day~

Enjoy some little R6 Ops snippets!

Elias fidgets nervously in front of the display full of flowers, fingers twitching as he examines each bouquet carefully.

He's bad at this. Painfully so.

One of the arrangements catches his eye- a bundle of brightly-colored daisies with a spray of some green leaves he can't identify.

It will have to do.

He finds you at work, taking a break outside in the fresh air with your attention focused on the book in your lap. He tries not to sneak- he knows how you hate to be surprised.

Elias clears his throat and you look up to find him standing rather awkwardly, a bundle of flowers clutched tightly in his fist. He smiles and you follow suit, mouth pulling into a wide grin as he holds the bouquet out to you.

"Happy Valentine's day!" he's excited, almost childlike as he watches you examine the flowers.

Elias loves you so much that it hurts. The flowers seem minuscule compared to the gestures he wants to do to show you how he feels.

But for now, it will have to do.

Gustave hums quietly as he whisks the eggs and cinnamon together in a bowl on the counter. He's making French toast, and the pun is not lost on him- he's already chuckled to himself four times.

He flips the bread expertly in the pan and lets it cook for a few more seconds before sliding it gently onto a plate and dusting it lightly with powdered sugar.

Gustave is amazed you're still sleeping, but relieved his racket hasn't woken you. He creeps up the stairs to the bedroom and nudges the door open gently.

He flips on the bedside lamp and you groan before cracking open one eye. Before you can scold him, he grins and holds up the plate, "Breakfast, mon amour."

You blink in surprise and sit up, "Breakfast in bed, really? Why-"

"It's Valentine's day," he says it simply as he sets the plate in your lap and reaches a hand out to stroke your face gently. You smile widely and his heart skips a beat; even after all this time, you make him feel like a lovestruck schoolboy.

He'd be up before the sunrise to make breakfast every day just to see that sight.

Olivier fiddles with the small black box, turning it over and over in his hands as he waits for you in the kitchen. He fears that if he sets it down, he will lose his nerve.

He checks his watch and sighs- you have a reservation for dinner in 30 minutes and you've been getting ready for over an hour.

"Hurry up!" he calls and you scoff from the bathroom.

"I'm coming!" you step into the kitchen and cock an eyebrow at him. He's standing awkwardly by the sink, holding something in his hands.

He looks nervous.

"You rushed me to get ready and you don't even have shoes on-" you begin, exasperated, but he crosses the room to interrupt you and drops to one knee, "Olivier what are you doing?"

Olivier holds up the box and pries it open. Inside is a glittering diamond ring with a silver band. Your eyes dart from the ring to his face and back again as your brain tries to process the scene in front of you.

"Marry me?" the words tumble out of his mouth and a redness creeps into his face.

You drop to his level and throw your arms around his trembling frame; he topples backward to the floor and you fall along with him.

"Is that a yes?" his voice shakes as he looks up into your face.

"Yes!"

"You want that one?" Alexsandr points to a large teddy bear suspended above the carnival booth.

You nod and he pauses to stretch animatedly, pulling his throwing arm in against his chest as the carnie places three large softballs on the counter in front of him.

You roll your eyes and chuckle as he flexes once more before taking a stance and lining up his shot. His first throw misses by a country mile and you burst into laughter.

"Quiet back there!" Alexsandr grabs the second ball and tosses it; it connects with the stacked bottles and they topple easily. He turns to make sure you're watching and flexes his bicep with a grin.

The carnie hands him the stuffed bear and he presents it to you proudly, heart swelling as he watches your eyes light up. You're so beautiful, he can hardly believe his luck in having you to himself.

"What?" you cock your head as he stares at you.

"Happy Valentine's day."
