-looks at with a small laughs- It's Valentine's day today, Mr. McKinley.~

.... Valenti-- oh. Ah... -scratches his head awkwardly- Ah nev'r remember tha' th' 14th is Valentines, hehe. Happy Valentines, then?

mhmm~ -reaches into her bag and holds out a small bag filled with chocolates that was wrapped nicely- And this

- um - for you, Mr. McKinley... -blushes a little with a soft smile- Sorry I couldn't get any wine to give you...

-carefully takes the chocolates, stares at it with shock- ... Oh.. wow th-thanks! -small smile- Ih's fine. Ih's the thought that counts hehe

-lingering behind the slightly open class room, smiling at the two and deciding to put the chocolates at the floor and leave them alone-

-looks at with a small pout- .... Mr. McKinley, I had a feeling you were following the both of us around last time... -giggles

softly and gently lets her fingers touch his- ... Francis taught me a few things in romance, and - well... -hesitantly bites her lower lip

before grabbing hold of his collar, pulling him in and kissed his lower neck, placing a small hickey-

-quickly pulls away with her cheeks flushed- W-Well, Francis told me I-I should try that on you s-so... -giggles- Does it hurt?

-blinks, everything happening so fast, hands linger to his own neck before flushing a shade of red- E-Eliza?! A-ah I may 'ave coincidentally

gone t' the same place as you 'ave on break... B-but, wh-what... No ih doesn' hurt...

-giggles softly, tilts her head a little with a grin- Really, now~ -purrs- I know you can be a bit jealous sometimes~ But that's okay! -

-leans forward as she slid her hair to the other side of her neck, baring some skin- Here, you can give me one, too.~ -smiles- Francis said

it has something to do with marking one's love...

Wh-- Eliza! -flushes and shakes his head- Francis... -sighs- ELiza... Ah can' go 'round markin' yeh er showin' yeh off like tha'... our

situation is... different, yeah? -uncertain little sigh, purses his lips-

.. Oh.. -pulls away with her smile fading, shrugs shoulders- Okay, then! Francis is out right now, but he'll pick me up later.... -small

smile, trying to not show any disappointment as she grabs hold of her bag- I guess... I'll leave you alone for today, then? -mumbles softly-

... -Siiiiigh- Eliza, c'mere firs'.

... Hmm? -walks closer to, blinks-

-stands and goes towards the door and locks it before going up to her and lifting her onto the desk, kissing her cheek softly, then

kisses down her jaw, slowly making his way to her neck, then biting and sucking at it lightly to leave a mark- ... -pulls away, looking

at her tenderly- Yeh may no' understan' wha' yeh're gettin' into.. But ah'll do as yeh say s'long as I know ih won' hurt.

-squeaks, eyes widening when he lifted her onto the desk, automatically arching her neck as he trailed south and gasped lightly at the mark

he placed on her- ... I-I do, but.. -blushes lightly- I just want to know that I belong to someone, now. -smiles shyly as she cupped his

cheek and kissed his forehead- It hurts me more that I can't spend this lovely day properly with you...

Buh... Eliza.. -small smile, breathy little laugh- Ih's a sacrifice we hafta make.. An' ih's actually refreshin' t' 'ave someone so innocen'

, ah'd like to keep you tha' way. -small chuckle-

-giggles softly, nods- I know... this day is an exception. -sticks tongue out, pats cheek- You better eat your chocolate, I made them for

you last night.~ -slips off the table and readjusts the sling of her bag, turns to look at him- ... mm, are you free tonight?

Mm? Uhh, yeah?... Ah mean, yeah! Why? -little grin-

-eyes at a little, pouts- Are you sure~? I don't want to... you know, disturb you if you're busy or anything... -tucks strand of hair

behind her ear and smiles a little- I'd like to have dinner with you, or something - otherwise guilt will continue to eat me up inside...

Nah, m' no' busy. No' too busy! Ah usual finish things in school haha so, sure, dinner soun's great! Though ain' ih weird t' be 'avin'

dinner with yer professor on Valentine's?

-crosses her arms with her cheeks puffed and a small pout- Well, of course it's weird to have dinner with a professor! -leans in and

smiles- But it's not that awkward between Eliza and Quinn.~

(( oh my god she's trying so hard to make it up to him oh god akdhjfkfh blushing irl ))

(( pFFFFPFkdosfkjdfl ))

-lopsided smile- Aw righ' then. -picks up his stuff and kisses the top of her head- Ah'll see yeh t'nigh', then?

(( she's a qt sob))

(( ssshhh she's a little girl who's also trying to impress her date k ))

-nods with a soft giggle- Mhmm! Tonight it is.. -tiptoes and kisses his cheek before she turns around and quickly skips out of class happily

((TIMESKIP and omg where should they have their dinner together ))

(( idk they could meet somewhere asdhsfd

))

(( Somewhere like a small cafe? CAKE CAKE CAAAKE ))

(( ...and wine, if you must. ))

(( sounds good and wine is unescessary hehehe ))

(( <3 ~ teehee~ it's Eliza's first as you know, someone's lover! =v= I expect her to screw it up a little <3 ))

(( it can be as embarrassing as possible or as silly, she could nervous because quinn is still more experienced than she is! ))

(( ajfskf yes okay I am okay with this <3 also it's your turn abubu >u< ))

-rubs his cheek and smiles- hehe... -goes home and changes into his best outfit, which isn't much... But enough nonetheless-

-after spending the day with Francis (and asking him for more romantic suggestions, despite Eliza being a terribly curious student),

she digs into her closet and pulls out a nice, simple yellow sundress, putting it on as she gets back home- I hope he'll

like it... -mumbles lightly to herself and grabs her phone, wanting to text him- Hmm... "Mr. McKinley, do you know where

we could meet up tonight? -presses send and quietly clutches her phone to her chest, taking in deep breaths with cheeks flushed-

-writing in his notebook until he hears his phone- Oh... -takes it- Hm. "It's Quinn, remember? Heh, well what about a little cafe? Anything

sounds lovely, as long as it's with you."

-smiles a little at the message, wondering how is it possible he could be so different outside- "... Yes, Quinn... Hehe, you're much

much more romantic on phone rather than in real life, you know that?" -giggles softly as she presses send-

-laughs as he receives this- "I'm an English teacher, poetry is my specialty madam."

"You're a ridiculously romantic poet of an English teacher, then." -She laughed softly, fixing her hair as she tied it up-

"I'll see you outside our favourite ice cream parlor, then~? Good meeting point! "

"Of course." -smiles over the text, pocketing it before standing and fixing up his outfit, popping up the collar and straightening out his

dress shirt, making sure he didn't look too professional.. But he didn't have a lot of money for much else so it would have to do, rushes

out the door-

-pocketing her phone into her sling bag, she checked herself in front of her one more time with a bright smile before walking out of the

door, skipping some stones on the way as she walked towards their meeting point. As she gets closer to where she's going, she could feel her

heartbeat speeding up - since normally it would be just a fun time between the two but she really felt the need to impress him- ... -A small

warm smile spread across her lips when she neared the parlor, and he was there earlier than she had expected- ... Q-Quinn...! -she waved her

hand with a wide grin as she walked towards him- You're early! -giggles-

-he looks at her and then waves back, a small smile on his face" Heya Eliza! Aye, m' early. I live near by, r'member? -little laugh- Wull

-offers his arm- shall we officially begin our Valentine's date?

-blushes a little and nods, hesitantly looping her arm around his with a soft giggle- Silly Quinn... of course~ - looks at him with a smile-

-grins and leads her into the parlour, blinking a bit when he sees that it's a bit full inside- Ah. Hm. Ah'll find us a place t' sit an'

you start us up with orders? -small smile-

Hmm? Sure! What do you want? -looks at him with a nod, also finding it a bit crowded-

Oh, uh, get me either th' choc'late er strawberry one! Though either s' fine! -sits over at the corner, cleans off the trash from the last

customers-

(( .... man he's really like my brother hahahah ))

-smiles- Okay! -quickly walks to the counter and orders his and hers, then comes back with a tray of chocolate cake and apple cheesecake as

she looks around to find him - Ah! - finally spotting him on one table, she quickly (and carefully) carries the tray to their table- Yay,

time to eat some cake~! -chimes happily as she sits opposite of him, clasping her hands and her eyes glimmering happily-

(( lMAOao whAT LAUghIGN ))

-smiles, little sigh, grabs his fork and absently takes a bite from his cake- Hope yeh didn' 'ave too much trouble, Eliza.

(( I'M SORRY BUT SERIOUSLY MY BROTHER'S THE NICEST MAN ON EARTH HE'D PUSH THE CHAIRS BACK, CLEAN THE TABLE AND EVEN STACK UP THE PLATES ))

Hmm? -forks her cake and takes a bite as well, shakes her head- No trouble!... Why are you saying that?

-little shrug- Force of 'abit. Ah'll help 'nyone, really. -little grin- Ah jus' 'ave tha' dream, t' help s' much people as possible. In fact

, Ah woulda trained t' be a police if writin' wasn' my passion.

(( A-awww <XD ))

(( <3 ;w; also my brother's single and he's 17 so if you wanna- /shot ))

... -giggles softly- That's very sweet of you. -smiles at- Perhaps that would be one of the qualities that I find so attractive in you.

(( p-PF ff Ff fF i wish man i wish ))

-scratches his head lightly- Aww shucks, Ah dunno. Thanks. Hehe. -small flush- Uh, hey Eliza! Why d'ye like this place?

-puffs cheeks- Well... When I feel lonely I'd usually end up eating cakes here alone... but I guess that's not the problem here at the

moment. -laughs softly- And you, why do you like it here?

Hm... -twirls the fork in his hand before taking another piece from the cake- Ih reminds me of home, I guess. There wus a mother back home

who baked cakes an' always had th' orphans get a taste. Hehe.

-blinks- ... that sounds very sweet. -giggles softly- Wish my mom knew how to bake - rather than spending her time arguing with my pa... -

-sighs as she forks another piece into her mouth, her sullen expression turning bright and cheerful again- Mmm, delicious~

-stares at for a while, before biting at his fork thoughtfully- ... Hm, speakin' of bakin... -trails off- So, Eliza, b'sides wha' you show

me in school, tell me more 'bout yerself? -looks at her with a little excited smile-

-looks at with her eyes widening lightly, and for a moment she could feel her cheeks burning- Uhm, well - t-there's not really much to know,

I mean since I like baking, and... flowers...? I garden a lot as a small hobby I picked up few years back... -giggles softly- And you?

Pff, me? Wull m' no' as int'restin' either. Write, read, teach, an' Ah have a few side jobs here an' there. Ah canno' cook, I repeat, canno'

-laughs out- Uh, ah've many vices Ah don' sugges' you follow. Haha.. -shrugs- typical fresh-outta-college person.

-bites on another piece, looks at curiously- Side jobs? What kind of side jobs? -tilts head a little- Hey, at least you can still survive

with your academic achievements... All I can do is just sit around at home watering a flower with cake in mind! -giggles-

An' how I wish ah could do tha', lass. -small laugh- I'm a bagboy in some groceries. An' sometimes M' a private tutor. Ih helps pay th bills

-small shrug, nearly half way done with his cake-

-leans her chin on her palm, stares at- You sure look like you work a lot... and private tutor, huh? -grins a little- What kind of private

tutoring~? -snickers jokingly, stuffs a big piece she had forked into her mouth and muffles, cheeks rose- Sweeet~

U-uhhh -little nervous sweat drop- Tutorin'! Teach English. Some people used t' pay me extra fer a few things but.. Ah don' offer tha'

service 'nymore. -little laugh-

-blinks- Extra for a few things? -tilts head a little- So... you actually teach something else rather than English? -blinks more- Ooh, do

tell~! -smiles curiously-

Oh uh, wull Ah occasionally go on ahead an' teach 'em a bit of Irish, but ih's no' worth ih 'nymore. Nobody pays fer ih so.. -shrugs- Mhm..

... -puffs cheeks, reddens a little- I-It would be nice if you could teach me a bit of Irish, then...? -giggles, smiles warmly at- At least

it'll help me to get to know your roots so much more... -forks in the last cake piece-

-still eating, he eats rather slow- Irish? Uh. Sure! Jus' stay after school an' call me up in th' faculty an' ah'll teach yeh some.. -snorts

- Though if yeh wanna learn 'bout m' roots, yeh should ask yer History teacher, aye?

-giggles softly- Are you sure about that? I don't want to trouble you or anything... -shrugs shoulders- Either that, or I'll just find some

books on Irish culture to read! -laughs- Wow, we're suddenly talking about school, almost forgot what we're here for... -blushes lightly-

Haha, ih happens. Ih's hard t' ferget, 'specially if yeh work there. -sly smile- So, wha' now? -kind of wants to tease her, guessing that it

her first time doing all this date shenanigans-

-lowers her head a little- S-Sorry, I didn't mean to bring school up and- ...hmm? -looks at before she puts on a thinking expression, and

shrugged her shoulders- I... don't know... do you know what to do? Since, well - you're more experienced in this than I do... -blushes-

-and all the previous Korean TV shows she watched doesn't really apply much in this situation as well-

Wull in all honesty, ih doesn' matter whether yeh're experienced er no'? M' pro'lly no' all tha' great in this date thing either, haha.. -

Ih all depen's on wha' yeh feel like doin', yeah? Jus' say th' word an' we do tha'. Th' point of a date s' to 'ave fun, right? -reassuring

smile-

Oh, really now? -giggles- Hmm, how about we take a stroll on a nearby beach? -tilts head- I've never tried going there at nighttime, and it

seems like a really refreshing thing to do... -looks at- ... t-that is, if you're okay with that...? -feels more and more foolish by the

minute- A-and - yeah, I-I want to... since - since it would be better with you around...

Sure thing, Eliza. -soft smile, complies to make her feel a bit more comfortable- Ih soun's lovely.~
