“A-Aunora?”

Aunora glanced up, arms propped behind her head and feet kicked up on the coffee table. Victor stood behind the couch, a piece of paper clenched in his hands.

“Yeah, what's up, squirt?”

Victor’s face was bright red, his eyes cast towards the floor. He held out the paper, biting his lip.

“I, uh, I made you this. I dunno if you know this, but, um, on the second Sunday of May, we celebrate-" his voice cracked, and he pushed the paper into his lap.

It was folded in half, “TO AUNORA” scribbled across the front. Raising her eyebrows, she opened it, revealing a drawing of what she assumed to be she and Victor holding hands, surrounded by flowers. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the writing below- “HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.”

Aunora’s eyes widened, a blush appearing on her cheeks. “Oh, kid-"

“I-I didn't know if you felt the same way, but I, uh, I love you a lot...and I wanted to give you a card…”

“Did you...make this all by yourself?”

“Umbry drew the flowers, but I did everything else.” Victor seemed to lean forward, desperate for any response.

Aunora grinned. “It's great. I love it. I love it a lot,” she swallowed, messing with the collar of her shirt, “And I love you.”

Small tears glimmered in Victor’s eyes, and he quickly wiped them away. Aunora patted her leg, “Come ‘ere, buddy.”

Victor crawled into Aunora’s lap, resting his head on her chest. She ruffled his hair, rough but playful.

“How about I get Umbra to cook us both something special? Since he's supposed to be celebrating me?”
