Valentines Day Insanity~<3

(Note: Yes. Posting this a few days early. Because otherwise it will definitely slip my mind entirely. I am the flakiest, yes I am.)

It's that time of year again, lovely residents of the complex! Valentines Day. The day of love and hearts and so much pink you start to feel violently ill just seeing the color... Or 'Forever Alone Day' if you're without love. But don't worry! The complex always has your back. Even if it's always more trouble than help.

The usual stuff seems to be floating around. Both love and hate potions filling various food and drink items. Pink heart decorations. (And for the trolls out there, some nice little black spades in some places too.) Various holiday-themed treats left out for them, some of them filled with potion and some not.

But it's gone a step further this year. Those of you in relationships aren't really in any danger from it's plans. You have love and it's pleased for you. Those of you who aren't however, may find yourself in bed with a stranger. Perhaps you think they're your lover. Or perhaps they think you're theirs. Perhaps it goes both ways or neither. Whatever the case, have fun because the complex has bound you to them. Those magic rings on your ring fingers? Yeah. Can't get them off. Why? It's the source of the magic. You're now married to this person in your bed. This may include being stuck at their side for the rest of the day, sadly. Hope you weren't expecting any solitude...

For those of you who have escaped the love-bug of the complex, just be ready. It's waiting to throw all kinds of curveballs your way. Prepare for one heck of a Valentines day, residents!

Evan moves along the halls, in search of something. Or rather, someone. A girl. Miranda Lotto. Someone who probably really doesn't want to see him ever again. But hey, it's Valentines Day. So he felt like it was perfectly fine to drop in on her. With a smile. And candy and flowers.

Miranda is out and about for once. She's wearing a pretty dress. She doesn't usually dress up, but today's a special occasion. She's seeing her girlfriend so they can have fun together on the holiday. The soft smile on her lips isn't her usual nervous one, but a genuine one.

She smooths her dress a little and looks around, searching for her friend. Of course, she's forgotten her cell phone at home she hasn't received the text Lenalee sent her saying she was running an hour late because of her brother. She'd be a little crushed if she had, but she also probably would have avoided running into anyone…unpleasant. She doesn't see Evan yet, which is why she's still smiling.

When Evan spots her, he creeps up behind, quietly. He wraps both arms around her, holding the flowers in one hand and the box of candy in the other, lifting them into her line of vision. A card taped to the candy box says 'Happy Valentines Day to the most charming girl in the world' in large cursive letters. He doesn't speak yet, but grins and nuzzles his nose against the back of her neck a bit.

She smiles at the sweet gesture. Her hand goes to the candy box, picking up the card and her smile widens. She thinks it's Cole who did this for her. Or maybe Zexion, he was sweet like this when they were together. True, he hadn't been around much lately… But maybe that would change?

She takes the candy and flowers, turning around to thank her mysterious Valentine. And then the candy drops out of her hand and the flowers fall to the ground. She stares in open shock and confusion and budding horror at Evan. "Wh-what are you d-doing…?"

He keeps right on smiling, giving a casual shrug.

"What do you mean, what am I doing? Surprising you on Valentines Day, obviously. I should, right? Candy? Flowers? A nice card? Don't you deserve them~?"

He knows full well she doesn't want to see him. He knows full well why. And yet here he is. Purposely bothering her.

Miranda backs up a bit. She knows she should probably pick up the candy and the flowers. She doesn't want to give him a reason to be mad at her. She's actually never seen him mad but once, just once, Cole talked about the man to her...

She's deathly afraid of him now. Gone is the woman who confronted him. That hadn't really been her, that had been the hormones at work. She's always been nervous, easily flustered.

But this? This takes the cake. She has no intention of letting him see her daughter. He disappeared on them. He doesn't want to be a father. Still, she's nervous. Why is he trying to pretend to be nice to her. She takes another step back, accidentally stepping on the stems of the flowers. She shakes her head, not noticing she just stepped on his gift. "N-no. Well, yes, the sentiment is nice b-but…" She squeaks out. "Why m-me?"

Her fear just seems to please him and he laughs again, stepping towards her. There's nothing outright threatening about the motion, but that's usually how it is. He's always calm and cheerful and totally relaxed right up until he snaps.

"Well why not you? Hmm~? After all, last time I was here, weren't you spouting nonsense about how I was your child's father? I thought maybe you wanted my attention!"

He reaches out, cupping her chin.

"So now you have it, right?"

He's just…going to fall asleep unexpectedly on someone.

…Which somehow results in them being married. Because next thing you know, you're both wearing rings

Rolling over and snuggling up to the person in bed with him. It takes him a few moments to figure out there shouldn't be a person in bed with him.

He sits up quickly, shocked.

"H-hey! What the heck?"

Blinking in surprise at Ven. Sleepy mind hasn't registered where he knows him from...

Not waking up yet, although he stirs a little. He snuggles back down in the bed, moving a little closer to Lea. Why'd you pull away?

Oh. Right. It's Ventus. Now he remembers. But where are they? He takes a moment to look around, not bothering to push Ven away as the boy curls in closer.

He didn't remember sneaking into any bars last night. And besides, if he had, Isa would have made sure he got home alright...

He gives Ven a little shove.

"Hey. Ven. Wake up. Where are we?"

Ven gives a cry of protest but instantly sits up. He's awake, he's awake! He's actually a lighter sleeper than he lets on. He heard Lea talking but since his brain didn't register it as a threat, he'd only just barely started waking up…

"Lea? What are you doing here?" He yawns.

"That's what I'm asking you."

He's still kind of checking out the room, a little lost and confused.

"And also, where is here anyway?"

[HE'S IN YOUR BED.

STARING AT YOU.

AS.

YOU.

SLEEP.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.]

"There's a face I did not expect to see again."

He lays there for a moment, just... staring.

"Xigbar must have been getting too enthusiastic with the moonshine again..."

Cole's just wandering around, looking at all the decorations. Since the food all seems to be cupcakes and cookies and things he hasn't touched any of them. But he actually kind of likes the decorations. He knows the complex is just celebrating Valentines Day, but it's also his birthday so he feels like it's celebrating that as well...

After dragging his new spouse to help him, Kanda had finally set up the little area for Cole's surprise celebration. It's a small banner, with "Happy Birthday Cole" in bright blue, sparkly letters hung between two trees near the back of the complex. In the shade, there's a picnic blanket laid out, with some food set up on little stools and tables, to make it harder for bugs to get on it. There's fresh squeezed lemonade (provided by Miranda) and some cookies (provided by Miranda again) and some sandwiches (made by Kanda).

The vamp in question is no where to be seen, but he's nearby. He just wants to see Cole's reaction before he tells him happy birthday…

He's surprised to find the banner hanging there. It's very clearly wishing him a happy birthday... He looks around at the picnic blanket and the food. Is this for him then?

After a moment of taking it all in, he looks around to see if there's anyone around to have set it up.

Today was a special day for Kanda. Not because it was Valentine's Day. ~~Screw Valentine's Day. The creator could go drown in a lake.~~

No, because it was Cole's birthday. He had plans on getting up early the morning before, when it was still dark outside and he could walk around with relative ease, so he could set up a small surprise for the celebration. Nothing big or fancy or elaborate. Just, a little something he thought Cole might appreciate.

The Complex had other plans. When he woke up with a stranger in his bed, the first thing he did was kick said stranger out of bed and onto the floor. "Oi! Who the hell are you, asshole?" He whispered harshly.

{ooc; You can have him roll your muse out of bed if you aren't comfortable with this scenario}

He's sipping some of the ~~potions~~punch. He seems perfectly at home in this strange place, but actually, he's keeping an eye out for Lea.

The redhead ran off somewhere earlier and he's bound to get in some kind of trouble. He's just waiting for the inevitable crash of something breaking or Lea falling off something he shouldn't have been on in the first place. Then he'll go bail his friend out of trouble. Until then, feel free to come chat with him…

Saix made the unfortunate mistake of having some tea before he went to bed last night.

She has no idea the change her body has currently undergone. Feel free to wake her and inform her of said change. She's much mellower in her new body, if a bit more emotional.

She even comes equipped with a heart for this.

Waking up with people in his bed is so not strange to him. Especially recently. Weekends usually find him waking up to Ven wrapped around him. But he's pretty sure it's a weekday so the kid should still be sleeping on Zexion's couch...

Also he's pretty sure Ven doesn't have long blue hair which is what's currently all he sees as he opens his eyes. Long blue hair sprawled on his pillow and touching his face.

"Saix...?"

Why was the man in his bed? They hadn't shared a bed since they were kids, sleeping over at each other's houses.

He sits up to shake the man awake and his hand stops just short of touching Saix's chest. He blinks, wondering if he's having some weird dream.

"....Why does he have boobs?"

She stirs, shifting slightly, and she almost moves into his hand. Her eyes flutter open and she yawns a little.

Then she pauses, blinking up at him. Slowly she sits up, not completely awake yet. "Axel…? When did I--" Her voice isn't quite right. Is something wrong with her? She must be coming down with a cold…

He pulls his hand back, staring in surprise and confusion. "Did you drink or eat anything weird?"

He warned you, didn't he? That this place did weird things...

It seems the Complex wants to congratulate one of it's recently engaged couples. Of course, it does this by spiking their drinks with love potions for starters.

And by planting a suggestion in the form of a dress. A very special dress. A wedding dress. Yuu's fingers roam over it, shaking slightly, because it's everything she could ever want. Hesitantly, she picks it up, pulls it to her chest and looks in the mirror. Yes. Yes. This is what she wants.

She lays the dress down on the chair and runs out of the room. Her cheeks are flushed and when she glances outside, she's practically beaming with what she sees. It seems the Complex has already decided to help move things along. They haven't been engaged long, maybe a couple of months, but it still warms her heart to see the gazeebo and chairs all lined up and decked out for a small wedding. Breathless, she runs into Zexion's room, her cheeks glowing with happiness.

"Let's get married."

He looks up from his book, blinking. Get married?

"I assumed that's what we'd be doing when you accepted my proposal."

Wait a moment.

"Or did you mean... now?"

The excitement hasn't left her eyes yet and the flush in still in her cheeks. She nods enthusiastically. "Come look. Oh, come see. Everything's already set up!"

She comes over to him, pulling the book out of his hands and setting it aside, carefully marking his place in it. She's probably one of the few people who can do that to him and not get an irritated glare. She wouldn't care right now, though, already tugging him to his feet and pulling his hand to come look out the window.

"Look! See? Everything's ready." She turns her eyes to him and while she usually hates Valentine's day, detests it, right now her eyes are shining. At least this way, they'll never be able to forget their anniversary. "Please? If you want, I'll even get down on one knee and ask you. Will you marry me today?"

Her actions get a bemused smile. Her excitement is almost contagious, but he's not entirely sure what she's talking about. So he lets her pull him along to the window.

Oh....

He blinks at the set-up on the lawn. Is that for them? Well, the complex could be a bit pushy... But for once he doesn't mind. He turns back to her, taking her face between his palms and laying a light kiss on her lips.

"Yes. Of course I'll marry you today."

He's both pleased and nervous. But mostly pleased.

She beams at him and then pulls away. "I'm going to go get ready~"

She turns and runs, gone as quickly as she came. Sometimes she's a bit like a butterfly. She comes and goes as she pleases, but today, that's a good thing. She flits inside her room and starts changing. Oh, oh~

She whips out her cellphone, texting her best friend. Hey Grace. Want to be my best man?

The reply text comes back within just a few minutes.

Yes. Definitely.

Another follows shortly.

Wait. You're getting married? Is this a spur of the moment thing? Because you never told me you were engaged.

She likes to keep up on the gossip!

He proposed less than a month ago. I was going to tell you but you disappeared.

She's all smiles.

And it is kind of spur of the moment. This place set everything up for a wedding today so I'm just going for it. Otherwise, we'd drag it out forever.

She's getting all the gossip. All of it.

When can you be here? We need to catch up

True. True. Been busy.

She needs to get back into the loop obviously.

I'm guessing you're talking about the stabby cult guy you've been dating? Unless you picked up a new guy while I was away too.

She stares at her closet for a moment.

Depends on how strict you wanna be with the 'best man' title. If I need a tux instead of a dress, this could take a while. Otherwise I'll be out in about twenty five minutes.

Yes. Zexion. The one you told me not to make out with in public.

She still remembers that. She was so embarrassed at the time.

Tux! Good idea! And one of Ion's friends can wear a skirt! You're brilliant Grace!

That text is followed shortly by.

Oh. What do you know. The Complex just materialized a tux in my room. I guess it's for you.

Sweet. I'll be there in five minutes. I'll help you fix your hair and do your make-up.

And she is. Knocking on the door and ready to go.

"Tell your future hubbie to scram for a bit. He can't see you in the dress yet. Bad luck. Then we'll get you ready for your big day."

Just breezing in and taking control.

Yuu laughs and nods. She peeks into the hallway to locate Zexion. She'd forgotten to mention something any now Grace reminded her. Once she finds him, she smiles and gives him a comforting hug.

"Hey. We're going to get ready. Grace is going to be my best man. Why don't you figure out who's going to be your maid of honor." A little eskimo kiss. "We'll meet you out there, okay?"

"Maid of honor?"

He never knows what to expect from Yuu. She comes up with the strangest ideas sometimes. Well, it'll be a day neither of them will ever forget, that's for sure!

"Alright then. I'll leave you two to get ready then and figure out who I should call."

He kisses her back, makes sure to grab his cellphone and heads out the door. He doesn't actually have too many close friends. He's not calling either Demyx or Axel. That's just not happening. So after a moment's consideration as he scrolls through names on his phone, he calls Allen. Once Allen has answered, he gets right to the point.

"Yuu and I are getting married today and since she's apparently decided that she simply must have her female best friend be her best man, I'm in need of a bridesmaid. Are you up to the task?"
