Ex-V: Please enjoy, and thank you for your time!

Okabe stared up, grinning, into the clouds, silently thanking the sky for its beauty; it was raining, and he was walking, alone, under an umbrella, but somehow, it felt like a wonderful day.

All around him, Couples had gathered, at the park, at the convenience store, walking together, chatting amicably. It was Valentine 's Day, after all; Okabe smiled, gently, to himself, watching a man propose, successfully, to his girlfriend on one knee nearby.

"O-Okabe…"

The lab chief turned, eyes wide, recognizing the hesitant voice; Makise Kurisu had approached him, stealthily, from behind, Flanked on one side by Feyris Nyan-Nyan and Daru on the other, frowning.

"What can I do for you, Assistant?"

Okabe plastered a confident grin across his features; Kurisu, staring into his eyes, trembled for a moment, silent, blushing, before reaching into her purse, withdrawing a gift-wrapped box.

"I…" She managed, flushed, holding the box out to him. "This is for you-" Okabe noticed an overwhelming surge of affection towards her fill his heart, but resisted the urge to sweep her into his arms; That would be inappropriate, for two friends, no matter how close.

Instead, Hououin Kyouma drew his cell phone up to his ear, smirking. "Yes, it's me. I'm receiving a suspicious box from my subordinate; I believe it may contain some aerosolized or explosive weapon, sent by the organization to target my lab with a bioterrorist attack…Requesting Backup-"

"It's chocolate-!" Kurisu snapped, bright red, heart hammering. "Chocolate-!"

Okabe grinned at her, highly amused, and made to reach for the box, when Feyris interrupted them. "What kind of Chocolate, Kurisu?" She purred. "The kind you give to Friends and Family?"

There was a brief moment of ringing silence, and Kurisu jumped a little, squeaking, hand twitching, eyes wide, blushing fiercely. She didn't answer, looking, desperately, between Okabe and Feyris. "…!"

"Is it the kind you give to friends as a courtesy-?" Feyris pushed her, smirking mischievously.

"Y-yes..-!" Kurisu stammered, helplessly red.

"Oh, I see! In that case, Okabe, please wait here!" Feyris cackled. "I have some Valentine's chocolate to give you as well-"

"NO! no, W-wait-!" Kurisu shrieked, clutching her face. "It's…It's the other kind…."

She whispered, staring directly at her toes, steaming red, holding the chocolate out for Okabe.

Kyouma stared over at her, eyes wide, head cocked, and took the box from her, stunned, when she didn't raise her eyes.

"What other kind-?" Feyris teased.

Kurisu's head popped up, and she squeezed her eyes shut, blushing furiously. "The kind you give to a guy you like-!"

Feyris chuckled, and Kurisu made to storm away, scarlet red, but Okabe caught her wrist, and she yelped. "EEP!"

He whipped her back around, grinning; Eyes still squeezed shut, she wouldn't look at him, radiantly red, but he pressed a hand under her chin, tilting her head up, and kissed her, quickly. Her eyes snapped open, dramatically, and she squeaked, blushing, when he pulled away from her lips.

They stared at each other for a moment, while Feyris clapped, saying "You did it, Kurisu!" and Daru Grumbled about the 3D world.
