Valentine's Day Special

Well, one person voted. That was disappointing. I almost scraped this idea. Then I remembered some comments from early on. That's right; A Shadow In Chains, your time has come. I hereby present to you the Black Dragon ship.

As I stood outside the room, waiting for her I was brought back to my early memories here. Back then I only cared about finding who brought me here and going home, and then we got to know each other. She laughed at my jokes; we made each other smile, and generally had a good time together. It made me forget about how upset I was to be in another universe. That was when I started to fall for her.

"Oh! Damien. How long have you been waiting for me?" I turn to the door way to look at my date for the evening. She's wearing a beautiful black dress that matches her hair, heels, and an amber necklace to go with her eyes. I smile remembering how much courage it took for me to just ask her to do this.

"Not long," I answer before holding out my arm for her to take, which she does. Before we can go, however, we're interrupted by Yang.

"Now have fun, but not too much. We wouldn't want fire breathing kittens now would we?" Yang said, poking fun at us. We quickly turned Red before shouting at her. "Ok, ok. Just settle down. Gosh, you two are made for each other." She then reaches deep into a pocket and pulls out two things before tossing them to me. "Here, you'll need this." I look through the contents before turning even redder, if possible.

"Yang, I really doubt I'll need these tonight." She just looks at me causing me to sigh and pocket them anyways. With that we went to the air ship that would take us to Vale.

We had gotten to the restaurant and I smiled as Blake went wide eyed. "How are we going to get in? This place has the best seafood!" I smiled at her excitement. We went inside and I nodded at the greeter. He nodded back and led us to a table. Blake was too busy looking around at the food to really notice and I laughed when we realized that she could sit down.

When she did we looked at the menus. "Hey, Damien." I looked up at her and saw some concern. "Why did you choose me?" I look at her confused before she continued. "You could have asked out anyone, and you probably should of. I mean Yang is so much prettier and Weiss is-"I stopped her by putting my hand up.

"Yes, but none of them are you." This caused her to turn red. She was saved from further embarrassment when the waiter came and took our order. We ate our fish and participated in casual small talk and basically enjoyed ourselves. When we finished we left and went out on a walk.

"So, is there anything you like outside of fish and books?" I asked. She thought about it before answering.

"Not really, being in the white fang doesn't give you a lot of down time. I've had to get used to not being killed. But one thing I've always wanted to do was learn how to dance, and-"she continued to talk about all the things she wanted to do now that the white fang wasn't breathing down her back. Some were rather odd, others were inspiring. But all of it seemed perfect for her.

"What about you? do you have anything you want to do now that you're here?" I thought about her question. What do I want to do? As I continued to ponder the question I saw the time.

"Oh! We need to get going!" I grabbed her wrist and pulled her near the middle of the park. There was a large hill there. It had a wonderful view of the city, lights and other things. She stared in awe and sat down. I started counting on my fingers and she gave me a weird look. Then there was a loud BOOM! And she looked at the city to see some fireworks.

She smiled and leaned up against me. "I want to live." I said. She gave me a weird look. "I'm answering your question. I want to help people. Have a family, that kind of thing. Enjoy life."

"That's pretty ambitious for someone in this line of work." She said. I just laughed. As the fireworks started to end we looked at each other and kissed for the first time. I had only one thought, 'best day ever.'

Alright, tell me what you think. This is my first try at fluff so some feedback would be appreciated.

Arrivederci
