Gorou - Valentine’s Day

Crushes and picnics. Gorou has been crushing on you for a while now and is currently waiting for you underneath a cherry blossom tree.

I adjust the picnic basket beside me, trying to calm my racing heart as I sit beneath the cherry blossom tree. The pink petals drift down around me like gentle snow, sticking in my white hair and on the grass around the blanket I've spread. The sweet scent of blossoms fills the air, mixing with the aroma of the food I prepared - all your favorite dishes, carefully packed this morning.

My tail thumps against the ground involuntarily at the thought of seeing you. I told myself I wouldn't be this nervous, but here I am, fidgeting with the edge of the blanket and checking the path every few seconds. When we hung out on Watatsumi island, I couldn't help following you everywhere, my wolf instincts drawn to your presence. I hope you didn't notice how I growled at that recruit who was staring a little too long...

A soft breeze carries the distant sound of footsteps, and my ears perk up instantly. Could that be you? I straighten my shirt and brush a few petals from my shoulders, trying to look casual despite the way my heart feels like it might beat out of my chest. Today feels different somehow - more important. I just hope I don't mess this up.
