kohaku doesn't get it when people says she puts in too much effort. like the time she walked through hills just so that her sister can rest easy. or when she herself volunteers to start training the bodyguard twins when science kingdom is said to expect a war. isn't it natural to show that you care?

then you came along.

and kohaku finds it hard to not love you. because when you whisper in the late of the nights that those actions she does are so thoughtful and sweet, her heart softens. she knows that, yes. but it feels so good to hear someone say it outloud. it makes her feel special. makes her feel that she's appreciated and not quote unquote, too much.

because of that, you easily found yourself amongst the people kohaku holds dearly. it's easy to tell when she goes miles way beyond just to make you happy. and while that's been a quality of hers that she's proud of, it is exactly the same thing that brought her to be this stumped.

now what would she do for you for valentaines─ is that how you spell it? oh well, whatever that day is called.

"it's a love celebration!," you exclaim cheerfully when she asked amidst your gushing for the upcoming said day. "a day where you show your love to beloved ones. usually, you give out chocolates and flowers, both romantically and platonically or either one," you add after she only blinks at your answer. "so an opportunity to confess too?" she concludes and you nod cheerily.

and so she seeks senku. 'because senku has so many knowledge and wisdom' and while that is true, maybe there's also the comfort she finds in confiding in with a friend.

"you know that big oaf taiju is probably a way better mentor for your love story?" was his first response. the blonde replies naturally, "but i've been going to you for advices? so spit me some now." senku gives the girl a glance before sighing, "just be true to yourself. you actually know already the best way to confess, maybe you just haven't realized it yet." kohaku grumbles. "it's not that simple." he shrugs. "never said it was."

answer a : treat them like they're the whole world

right. like what she's been doing literally this whole time. "but thousand times better!!" she recalls senku saying. after a bump had appeared on the leek-haired guy, he finally gave her the practical answers she wanted (kind-of). only one day had passed when the villagers' ears are already filled with kohaku's voice,

"my y/n!!!"

"y/n do you need help with that?"

"you're sure you don't want me to feed you, y/n?"

"don't move one foot y/n. i'll get it for you"

there's a frown on your face at the immense amount of love she's throwing at you. it's nice because that's so sweet of her. it's also nice because she's your crush too. but out of nowhere? is something worrying her that she acts extra today?

"kohaku", you gently call out, "are you okay?"

she tilts her head a little and you pout, "you're.. quite tense today." her eyes widen in realization and your crush looks else where as if to ponder over saying the next few words or not, and she does, "because valentines is coming?". you feel your face warm at the reply, finding everything in you to hold the eye contact, "is that why you were extra caring today?"

"i mean, you are one of my beloved ones," she shrugs nonchalantly, "you know that right?"

you think your head is spinning too bad and your heartbeat is way too fast when you mutter a yes. was she always this direct? you don't mind it though, that's for sure.

answer b : give gifts. bonus points if personalized.

kohaku thinks she's starting to go insane. because when she made it vague that she likes you, she had to hold herself from confessing right there and then that the like is like like. being vague does not suit her at all, she thinks.

okay. she reminds herself. now, gifts.

she racks through her memory and remembers you sighing fondly in the valentines conversation, "being given flowers is cute, no? sure, you have to take care of them afterwards but the thought of someone thinking about you when buying those─ it's just super sweet"

and one week later, when the sky is filled with hues of orange and red, kohaku is at your doorstep with a bouquet of them. it's not as well-kept as ones back in the modern days, there's no such thing as a flower shop in this age. but you find its shade of (f/c) to be the most beautiful colour you've seen. kohaku purses her lips and you notice the apple of her cheeks slightly red when she hands you the item. cute. you think.

answer c : just confess. be truthful with your feelings.

"i like you. please let me be your girlfriend."

and although you've expected it, butterflies swarm your stomach anyway, the fluttering too rapid for you to control.

you wonder if she hears it when you take the bouquet away from her, your hands slightly touching hers and her blush deepens a tad. you wonder if she knows that the kohaku in your eyes right now is the prettiest yet you've seen. with her eyes earnestly looking into yours and the sunlight that's barely there hitting her face in soft orange hues.

"yes. i'd love that."

and that you'll be seeing this more often from now on.
