Cupid's view

Cupid had been looking forward to meeting a certain distinguished looking Stelciar that she's been becoming closer with. They had been spending more time together lately and Cupid has been really enjoying it. She is positive that he has been enjoying their time together too. She had been catching more glimpses of small smiles on his otherwise stoic face. Maybe she was imagining the light flush of his face when she caught him looking at her before he would quickly turn away. Actually there was no maybe, she was absolutely sure of it. She felt that there was something more between them and because of this, she had a plan. She wanted to create a more romantic atmosphere for this meetup.

She had been giddy about this all day! There had been a little extra pep in her step and a sing-song quality to her voice while she went about her usual business. One could tell just by looking at her that she was in a great mood. 

Cupid ended up showing up at the park a little earlier than they had agreed to. She packed along with her a small picnic basket, It was going to be a surprise for Equinox. She calmly surveyed the area for the best spot to set up and found a lush green patch of grass not too far from where they were meeting. She began unloading what she brought, A blanket and small assorted snacks. She kept one item carefully hidden away in the basket, The romantic dessert the two were going to share. She had picked it up on the way here, from a festival vendor. It was going to be the cherry on top of what she hopes will be a wonderful evening.

She admired her work then trotted over to the meeting spot. She turned to face the sun, closing her eyes and feeling the warmth embrace her face. The weather was wonderful today, as if it too wanted her plan to go off without a hitch. Cupid was not waiting long before she could hear someone approach.

Pleasant greetings were exchanged. Equinox was here now and he was looking as striking as ever. The way his grand horns gracefully curved, his glossy white fur contrasting with the pitch-dark patches, The sharp outline of his draconic wings all come together to create a majestic stelciar. 

Speaking with him, She felt like her heart skipped a beat. She realized her feelings for him were growing with every little word and every little moment shared together. She was over the moon seeing the flower he got specially for her and hearing his question. 

"Yes!" the pink Stel exclaimed with much enthusiasm. "I would love to be your valentine!" She said while leaning in for a gentle head butt making forehead to forehead contact. She happily took the single flower, tucked it carefully under her wing and led Equinox to the picnic blanket.

There she examined the flower. It was beautiful. The soft petals were pure white and its stem was wrapped in a lovely pink paper and tied closed with a pink ribbon. She set it down next to the picnic basket. “Thank you so much for the flower, It’s gorgeous” she swooned thinking about how sweet the gesture was. Cupid felt as if she were on a cloud, floating with excitement and joy that her feelings were being reciprocated.

 Cupid then presented the picnic she prepared, Hoping to woo and impress Equinox. She had gotten most of this stuff from humans, stealing only little bits here and there so as to not alert them. Cupid didn’t steal everything though, she did gather the berries herself from a little patch she frequents. She made a mental note to bring Equinox there sometime. 

Eagerly, Cupid started to nibble on the various snacks. “What a lovely surprise.” he said. She felt his wing brush against her. “Also yes I think we deserve these treats more than the humans do.” He said taking a bite. Cupid nodded at him and continued to eat. She felt that she succeeded in her mission to surprise and impress.

Once they were done, Cupid excitedly said “Now, I have one more surprise.” She then slid over to the picnic basket and carefully grabbed out the drink she had gotten earlier on the way here. Setting it down between them she exclaimed “I’ve never had one of these before! I am so happy I can share this with you!”. It took a lot of effort to not sneak a sip of the delicious looking drink before this point but She had wanted to see Equinox's reaction to it first. She gently nudged it closer to him. 

Looking at Equinox a sense of tranquility washed over her. She was happy to be here with him at this moment.
