A/N: Hey there! Happy Valentine's Day all! I wrote all this for fun. Hehe :D The cover picture is actually for the 2nd chapter/ PhantomxAria story. Oh, and my apologies if this "sequel" to Raindrop Flower is horrible. Or if the others are cheesy. Hope you like it!
"May I see Mer-... Her Highness?" I asked politely. Philius, the Elder of Magic, gave me a dirty look.
"Her Highness will not see a human." he announced loudly. All the Elven Guards turned to stare. It took every wisp of self-control I had to not react. Philius could be so childish sometimes!
"Philius, who's outside?" she called from the throne room. "It's Dragon Master Freud, isn't it?"
"Nobody, Your Highness." Philius replied, a smirk on his face.
"I know it's him. Let him in."
"But Your Highness, he's a human!" Philius said the word human with disgust.
"If you don't, I shall call you nobody for the rest of your Elven life, got it?" I hid a smile as Philius grumpily opened the doors to the throne room. I saw her seated on the throne.
"Hello Freud!" she said enthusiastically Philius raised his eyebrows. She cleared her throat. "What brings you here, Dragon Master?" I tried not to laugh at her formality. I approached and bowed.
"I just happened to pass by, so I decided to drop in for a visit." I said. "I have a gift for you." I held my hand out and a raindrop flower appeared in it. Her eyes widened. I went up the stairs to present it.
"See you later at the usual place." I whispered as I gave it to her. Her face reddened, and I blocked it by standing in Philius's line of sight. Although, from the sound he made, I could guess he already saw it.
-Line-
"Freud!" Mercedes waved as she ran over. I stood up from the log where I had been seated, only for her to tackle me to the grass.
"Oof! Mercedes!" I gasped. Sure, it hurt. I was a mage, after all. Mages aren't exactly well-known for their physical fitness.
"You're just so... moronic!" she half-screamed, half-whispered. Then she got off me. I rubbed my back as I stood up.
"Did you expect me to give you a rose?" I teased. "That's too obvious. Philius will have my head."
"Yes, but a Raindrop Flower?! You made me blush in front of all my subjects!" she said, trying hard not to smile.
"And you liked it." I said impishly. Her face turned as red as a rose. "There, now I've given you a rose. "
"Imbecile." she mumbled as her face turned redder. I planted a kiss on her cheeks.
"Happy Valentine's Day, sweetheart!" I embraced her.
"Happy Valentine's Day moron..." she mumbled, her face buried in my chest.
Suddenly, it started raining. We broke apart abruptly. Mercedes grabbed my hand began to run for shelter.
"Wait." I said. She turned back and looked at me as if I was insane. "It's raining."
"So? Do you want to catch a cold?" she asked impatiently. Her eyes widened as she realized. "Water shield." A sphere of water encased us.
"Seems that you're actually quite bright after all." I teased.
"Shut your trap." she said, returning to my side. We sat down on the log.
"I love you." Mercedes muttured as she laid her head on my shoulder.
"I love you too." The words which both of us finally plucked up the courage to say filled the silence. We watched together as raindrop flowers began blooming.
