Just a short story of an upcoming "holiday" next month. Poor 362/60 hardly gets any attention. So I decided to spice up a little vignette for this lovely pair. Dedicated to a big fan of the coupling, Prettywitchiusaka. :3 Patton and Rachel's outfits are actually in her gallery on deviantART where they are together awaiting a Valentines Day party. Hope you like it, love!

And I apologize for any basic or bland wording. I just needed to write something, whether it's good or bad.

Cupid & Compliments

"... Is this me?"

The question was left out and in the open. She didn't expect anyone to answer her, considering that she was the only individual in her office at the moment. Rachel released a fresh breath of air from her lungs as she looked into a mirror and smoothed out her white Valentines dress for the party. Everyone was going to be there! And she was definitely going to be the Belle of the ball... Patton poked his head into her office, his hair free of his personal beanie for cadets' training.

"Hey, uh, sir? I don't mean to be commanding and all, but could you... hurry it up a bit? The party's about to start."

She exited the room quickly and joined her friend outside in the hall. Pat waited up against the wall right outside of his boss' office glancing up at the pink and red heart decorations once or twice the chance he got. The Moonbase was surprisingly quiet in this district of area, which both of them seemed grateful for. He examined her outfit before his smile broadened.

"Wow. You... you look spectacular." As the boy spoke this, his cheeks flushed tints of red. Rachel felt her cheeks burn pink in response. She coughed and took his hand in hers, allowing her date to follow her down the corridor of the lonely part of Moonbase.

"And you are one handsome devil yourself, Penguin," she teased. Patton grinned and looked down at his own appearance. He wore a pair of regular blue jeans, a brown belt, and a casual black vest. The supreme leader tugged at the drill sergeant's zipper of his vest, beaming from ear to ear. Closing the gap between them, she brought her face to his in a small, sweet kiss. Pat responded by returning the kiss quite encouragingly.

They broke away and chatted as they walked hand and hand down to the largest space in the Moonbase where the party was being held.
