A/N: Happy Valentine's Day! So, have a little Richter/Emil drabble. It started as Richter/Aster, but then Emil happened. XD (Inspired by a bunch of hilarious Tales-themed poems I saw.
Disclaimer: I do not own Richter, Emil, or Marta. Theybelong to Bamco.
"Richter?"
The redhead glanced up from his writing, wondering why Emil was here. He adjusted his glasses, frowning at the boy.
Emil shifted nervously, looking down. He wasn't sure how Richter would react, so he hesitated.
Richter returned his attention to his notebook.
"Say what you came here for or leave."
Emil's face flushed. He hesitantly pulled his hands from behind his back and set something down, muttering, "I… I'll just leave this here…" before quickly hurrying away.
Richter glanced up once Emil had left, staring at the kid's gift.
Next to his item pouch lay a single red rose.
