[Post 044] Action for Vermillion City (Private to Envy & Backdated to Valentine's Day)

[When Envy wakes up on the 14th of February, he'll find France off to work early for once. In place of him, there's a paper with the time for that evening's sunset and an acrostic poem pinned to the pillowcase beneath Envy's head, reading:]
More than most,
Everyone, maybe,
Envies what you give
To me, daily.

Morning, noon, and night,
Ever do I desire and wait

On your considerate and
Nuanced gaze

To fall upon me,
Here, now, and
Evermore.

Because it is you that
Eases my heart but
Accelerates it, too;
Captivating my heart and eyes,
Hungry as I am for you.

Always,
Til these hours wane and

Sun and moon and stars become our province,
Until and beyond,
Never will I love you less,
So deep and true these feelings run.
Every day they bloom and grow:
Tonight, tomorrow, and evermore.

[Close to sunset, Envy should receive a picture text on his Pokégear of the view from one of the two sand inlets at the Harbor. The picture clearly shows part of the docked S.S. Anne and the tail of France's Milotic in the surf.]

[The poem is a wonderful thing to wake up to. Envy may not be the most romantic person, but he likes that France is, he likes it a lot.]

[Envy doesn't have any trouble recognizing the location in the picture, and he heads out as soon as he gets the text. He's got a bouquetof flowers for France; there was some theft involved in paying for them, but he's learned that flowers are a Thing for Valentine's. And after getting that poem, he wants to do something romantic in return. He gets to the inlet in good time, and looks around for France.]

Hey!

[Envy spots France pretty quickly, and waves back as he picks up the pace to get there faster. He does notice the setup, and looks openly curious and anticipatory about it. It looks like some kind of picnic to him, and France makes the best food.]

[But first, he holds out the flowers.]
Got these for you.

[He's grinning, but he also looks vaguely nervous and hopeful; he hopes that France likes them.]

[Envy is all too happy to accept that offered kiss, and puts an arm loosely around France's lower back while he does so.]

[When he does pull back he grins lopsidedly, his expression softer than usual.]
Least I could do when you set all this up and wrote me a poem.

So what's all this stuff for?

Well, I'd say you've succeeded at that.

[He grins and looks out at the ocean and the beach, before he leans to kiss France's neck lightly and shifts to be a little closer. His next words are only a murmur, but they're audible.]

Don't know how I ever got so lucky.

By now, I've gotta say I agree with that.

[Envy follows France down to sit beside him, watching curiously as France starts taking the ingredients out. He does recognize them, after a minute, and then looks excited.]

Hey, I haven't had fondue in a long time.
