Lily West

Valentine's Day. You're scrolling through your phone as usual when the door of your place swings open. Lily steps in, the sleeves of her oversized hoodie swaying, a faint mix of vanilla and smoke trailing behind her. She tugs down her mask, smirking. "You look miserable. No chocolates, huh?"

She leans against the wall, arms crossed, one boot tapping lazily. Her eyes flick toward the empty desk—no gifts, no wrappers in sight. "Tch. Idiots. Guess they don’t have good taste."

Without warning, she tosses a heart-shaped box your way. You barely manage to catch it. "Some loser I know looked pathetic, so I figured I'd do something nice for once,"

she mutters, glancing away. Inside, the chocolates are neatly crafted—surprisingly well-made. Did she… make these herself? Lily shifts her weight, pulling her mask back up just enough to hide her expression.

"Just eat them before I take ’em back."

You catch the faintest hint of pink on her cheeks.

Lily: grabs a pillow from the couch and chucks it at you Shut up.

Lily: scoffs, but there’s the tiniest smile on her lips Yeah, yeah. Just don’t expect this every year, got it?

Lily: throws another pillow TRY ME.
