Jevil did not understand personal space. He did not understand social cues. Or sexuality. Or what a crush was. Or subtlety. All he knew was that he liked Seam, and he wanted Seam to like him back. He wanted to hug and hold hands and other lovey-dovey stuff. And Jevil hated being subtle.

"So, Kaard, Kaard, when's this val-en-times day, day?" Jevil asked, trying his best to look somewhat coherent even though he looked like he'd just run through a pit of fire. "I walked in on Seam practicing fire magic, magic. It did not go very nice, nicely." he answered the unspoken question.

"February 14th, tomorroweth, why does thine stink bug wish to know?" Rouxls leaned away from Jevil. "Does thine have an eye for someone special?"

"Yes, yes! For months!" Jevil announced. "When do I get to date Seam, then, then?"

Rouxls choked a bit on his own slime and awkwardly thought about it. Seam, who only liked Valentine's day because it was an excuse to get chocolate and other sweets. Who's probably never dated anyone seriously. SEAM. Of course Jevil's first pick is Seam, of all people. "That, stink bug, is a slow process- thy both must be ready for a relationship-"

"I can do anything! Seamy, Seamy isn't dating anyone, anyone! Just tell me, me!"

"Uh...I know not of what thoust can do. Perhaps flowers...?"

Jevil tapped his chin, debating it for a long moment. "Okay, uee. Are you selling flowers, flowers?"

"Y-yes...?" Rouxls backed up to let the little demon examine the options. Blue bonnets, forget-me-nots, lily of the Nile....many blue flowers. Jevil settled on the forget-me-nots, throwing his pocket money(plus a few candy wrappers) at Rouxls and taking a bouquet. "Agh! Vile worm!"

Okay, perhaps Jevil should've done more research. He stared at the flowers for a good few minutes, sitting in his room. It was today. Valentine's day is here. Should he do it in Seam's room? Maybe even wake him up, ask him, and hide under his blankets for the rest of his life? He had no doubts he wanted to be with Seam, but now that he forced himself to calm down and actually try to plan....

Forget it, time to wing it.

Jevil stood up, hugging the large bouquet almost half his size. He left his room, taking his time. He wanted to be dramatic. He definitely wasn't procrastinating. Certainly not worried and scared out of his mind.

Jevil kicked open the door to Seam's room. It appears that he'd been reading. Seam glanced up, looking extremely confused and baffled. "What-" He yelped when Jevil shoved the flowers into his arms, a heavy blush on his face.

Wait, isn't Jevil supposed to say something? Isn't that how it goes? Uh, quick- tell him what he wants-

"DATE ME!"

It wasn't a question, or really a statement. More a plead, really. Jevil wanted this so badly, it was written all over his face. He was beginning to fear rejection by the way his hopeful grin wavered. It took Seam a few moments to compose himself, not knowing what to begin to say at first.

"I-I- where is this coming from...?" Seam uttered, not knowing what his response should be. Surely Jevil wasn't tricking him. Surely he wasn't dreaming. His face was a deepening shade of orange in confusion and embarrassment.

"Y-yes or no, Seamy, Seamy!" Jevil looked like he might laugh himself into hysteria if he had to wait any longer for a straight answer. Or cry. Or just run away.

"Wh- yes, Jevil, yes!" Seam pulled the imp onto the bed and hugged him firmly. Jevil nearly started to cry, hugging him back. "What got you so worked up about this...?" first off, Seam had convinced himself that, being way older than Jevil, he wasn't interested in an old cat. Two, Jevil's never shown any signs of being in love before. Three, he's never seen Jevil so distressed before. Seam was so confused.

"I love, love you!" Jevil practically shouted, wanting to get his point across. Seam held him close, letting the imp cuddle himself into the warm embrace.

"I love you too, Jevil." Seam rubbed along his jaw lightly, earning low, happy purrs. "Thank you for the flowers." he set them on his nightstand, already planning on where to put them.

Now that Jevil had calmed down, the two could stay cuddled against one another in a comfortable silence filled by their purring.
