[burningblossoms]

Wonderful! Please do!

I'll see you there.

[imaginex]

[In that case it won't be too long until there's a knock on Yukiko's door, the girl having made good on her promise and zipped right on over. Since Yukiko has most of the ingredients, Sakura arrives with just herself and whatever she shoved into her pink tote]

Yukiko-chan? I'm here!

[burningblossoms]

[The door opens and Yukiko's there, beaming brightly and waving Sakura inside. Al Capug is sitting on the couch, and there's already a selection of stuff all over the counters.]

Thank you for coming, Sakura-chan.

[Al looks up, casually inspecting the newcomer.]

I've managed to shoo Eleanor out for the day, so it's just you and me, and Al.

[imaginex]

[Sakura will wiggle her fingers into a greeting aimed at Al while she puts her tote down somewhere safe, and then zooms for the counters to inspect the goods. Yukiko really went all out here.]

We have enough chocolate to feed an army.

[Which means Sakura will probably eat half of it herself. She smiles over her shoulder]

Okay... But did you not want Eleanor to join us...?

[burningblossoms]

Well.

[She has an answer for that. A very important answer for that.]

That's something I wanted to talk to you about. Because she...asked me out the other day.

And I said yes. So, I wanted her chocolate to be a surprise.

1/2

[imaginex]

[WHAAAAAT]

[imaginex]

Did she really?!

[Looking positively delighted by this newest information, yeeeees, let all of her friends have the cutest, sweetest romances known to mankind. Her hands even clap in delight]

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you two!

[burningblossoms]

Yes!

[Yukiko is a little less animated, but her face is bright and happy.]

Thank you, Sakura! I haven't had the chance to really tell you but I'm so happy!

[She's really only told Akira at this point.]

[imaginex]

In that case, we need to make sure these chocolates are amazing.

[HANDS ON HER HIPS, she is pumped for this now.]

Does she have any favorite kinds?

[burningblossoms]

[Yukiko nods, and gives a favorite kind.

Though the mun doesn't know it.]

I've got a recipe and stuff, I just wanted to have extra hands in the kitchen.

[imaginex]

Okay! Just direct me wherever you need me, then.

[If there's an apron nearby, Sakura will wrap it over and around her chest and waist.]

How long have you two been dating now?

[burningblossoms]

Oh. Hum. Since her birthday. A couple of weeks now!

[The night they all went to a night club.]

Kind of hard to believe, and it feels like a lot longer.

[imaginex]

How lucky to have the confession before Valentine's Day...

[This is so romantic, Sakura's gonna swoon on her feet. She doesn't usually get to fawn over her friends and their romances.]

[burningblossoms]

I think so too. It's been...really grand, honestly.

[Just. All of it.]

I'm quite blessed, this year.

[imaginex]

[She smiles quietly at her, and then, in a faintly teasing tone:]

Have you two gone on any dates yet?

Or are you saving that for Valentine's Day, too?

[burningblossoms]

Oh, just dinners, that kind of thing.

[Not really? But then they live together so things are different.]

[imaginex]

[Sakura probably doesn't realize they live together, but regardless, seems to accept that answer]

Well, in that case, why don't you make her dinner? A homecooked meal to go along with the chocolate?

[burningblossoms]

Well, that was kind of a given. I've got that planned out, too.

[She's very happy that Sakura's suggested it though.]

I was going to do a handmade pizza. I have the dough made, and it's resting. That's not going to be as intensive as the choco, though.

[imaginex]

Oh, that's right, Eleanor really loves pizza, doesn't she?

[She might be recalling the first time she met and she nearly spooked the girl into an early grave with talk of Japanese mayo pizzas.]

that icon hahaha

[burningblossoms]

She does. And I do too, so it seems like a good way to make everyone happy.

[Plus she's made the sauce herself. Which is special.]

And it's different than what I made for her birthday. So that works out!

bahaha I love it

[imaginex]

Good! Then I think you've got pretty much everything covered...

[Or she thinks? Sakura's a romantic at heart, but--]

I've never spent Valentine's Day with anyone so I might be missing some ideas...

[burningblossoms]

No? Well, that's bound to change sometime soon.

[Yukiko starts the cooking as she talks...]

You'll make someone very happy on Valentine's, when it happens.

[imaginex]

You think so?

[Huh. She pauses a moment, likely gathering some of the supplies to her so she can better help Yukiko with the task, but when she speaks again, her tone is musing]

Neh, Yukiko-chan... when did you realize you liked Eleanor?

[burningblossoms]

Mmm?

[Yukiko pauses in stirring something, considering the question.]

I knew on New Years Eve. We were at the shrine and having fun, and things just sort of clicked in my head.

Why do you ask?

[imaginex]

Well...

[To be honest, Sakura's not sure herself. It's a question that needs considerable pause before she tries to answer]

I guess I was trying to imagine would it would be like, if I ever felt that way towards someone...
