These don't go in any order, but this one happens to be them getting together. Be ready for a ton of Piridi. This is the longest story of them all, I think
"Are you sure Valentine's Day with her is the safest idea?"
"Of course!" Answered the angel of light to his goddess. "She helped me defeat Hades, too! I think we can handle one evening together."
"If you really think so, then be my guest and go for it!" Palutena turned to the twin in the corner of the temple. "But Pittoo has to go with you."
The nickname stung his ears and he didn't even try to correct it. "You can't tell me what to do."
"Don't you care if your counterpart gets hurt during his date? You could get hurt, too."
The angel smacked his hand to his face and began marching out, "Fine. I'm doing this for myself, not for either of you."
As he walked out, Palutena look to her angel, who looked a bit figity. She placed a hand on his shoulder, smiling warmly, looking into his eyes. "I'm just kidding. I want him to get out of the temple a bit. You two will have a lot of fun." She placed the Laurel Crown on his head. He grinned back and Palutena continued, "Where are you taking her?"
"I found this nice place…I know she'll like it. It's a surprise, so I'll show you after!" He saluted to her, his face lit with excitement. "I'm ready when you are, Lady Palutena!
"Activating the Power of Flight! Good luck Pit!"
Viridi hated Valentine's Day.
The only good part was that the Forces of Nature exchanged small gifts and chocolate with each other as a sign of care. She never actually had a Valentine's. Cupid would never visit her, and she was forced to watch humans fall in love. But, deep inside, she couldn't hurt those with significant others.
She wanted a Valentines. Deep inside she wanted someone to care for and love, and someone to love her back just the same. Of course, it was hard to find a good god, or even a deity—
A knock on her domain caused her to jump awake from her thoughts. She walked to the door, knowing only a few people knew how to get to her home. Opening the doors, she frown, only to be met with a smiling angel holding flowers.
"Those are for Phosphora, right?" she asked, leaning against the doorframe.
He looked at the roses, "No, these are for you!" he replied, holding out the flowers.
Her face turned as red as the roses and she stared at them. Was he asking her to be his Valentines? "You have the audacity to give me roses that I made for Valentine's Day?"
"Yes…I mean no! No…I just…I…" he was at a loss of words. "I wanted to take you out today."
"Me? Go with you? For Valentine's Day?" She began snickering, then completely laughing at the angel. She was doubled over, only to stand back up straight to look at him and his disappointed face.
He was being honest.
Did her really want to go with her? After all of the snarky and rude comments she made to him, he wanted to go with her on a date?
Viridi had just expelled her feelings towards him. They had finally gone away and she was able to survive without him for the time being. If she looked at him even one more time, she may fall for him again. Going on a date would absolutely destroy her chance of being without him.
"I'll go if it's not some lame place and if you tell NO ONE."
He handed her the roses with a bright, smiling face. They were really doing this. And so, the two began walking to his location, making small talk, Viridi repeating that no one could know they were going on a date.
Their hands would brush against each other, Virid's hair would get caught in his wings, and little things that would make Viridi's heart flutter would happen every moment. Each second she could feel herself slowly becoming closer to him, and she hated it.
As they approached the location, Pit made Viridi close her eyes. When he held her hand, she flinched a bit, her face heating up, until he dragged her to the dock. She heard him giggle a bit and some splashing sounds, as she opened her eyes to see a few things in front of her.
It was a beautiful river, one she was quite familiar with, covered with cherry pedals so the water was not visible. It was all pink. There was a boat, and in the boat was Dark Pit.
"Palutena made me," he growled.
Pit hopped in, holding Viridi's hands as she gently stepped inside. She sat across from Pit, realizing they were still holding hands. She hated the feeling of love…mainly because she was so vulnerable. She pulled away slowly, leaving Pit a bit upset, but moved to look over the water as the angel's twin steered the boat.
The servant grabbed a flower from the water, holding it to Viridi to accept. She pushed the hair behind her ear, taking the flower in the other hand. "You do a good job with your work, Viridi."
Viridi knew what he wanted, and she wanted the same thing. His smile slowly faded as he leaned in, bit by bit, moving his own hand forward. She mindless did the same, but she couldn't.
If she was to kiss him, the goddess now had another person to protect. Pit was serving Palutena, how would it even work? His dedication was to her, not Viridi, and it would cause her more pain than she could imagine. Yet inches away, her heart decided to go for it and hold nothing back.
Until the boat was rocked, dropping the two from the boat. Dark Pit snickered a bit, continuing down the river, "I wasn't gonna see you two make out! That's gross! Good luck getting back."
Virid would have cursed him if she could breathe. Her arms violently thrashed around and her dress weighed her down. Pit grabbed the goddess, realizing her struggle, and pulled her to the edge. Once on the shore, she took a second to recollect herself. Pit punched the ground, so it seemed, out of aggravation. She simply grabbed her hair and began straining it out.
"I'm so sorry, Viridi. He's been acting a bit out of it recently. I guess he thought it would be a harmless prank." He said, helping her from the ground.
"It's fine…for now. I'll send Phosphora for him later." She hissed.
The two seemed to have completely forgotten what was going on moments before, because they began laughing about it. "So, is that it? Was that all you had for you date? I'm not impressed!"
"Wait! We can do something else. We can...go in a tree!"
"A tree? Pit, you're talking gibberish. I think you swallowed too much water."
"Well, no one can find us in a tree! See?" He began climbing the tree, only to have Viridi teleport to the branch and beat him there. He sat, leaning against the limber branch.
This was it. She could do anything, even push him off of the tree. After a few seconds of staring at the ground, she slid in closer, wordless, leaning her head against his damp toga. "I'm cold."
The sun was setting and night was sure to bring a wind. Both had wet clothes, but she knew two bodies could produce some warmth, even with cold clothes, if they were next to each other.
Especially if someone's arms were around your waist, much like what Pit was doing. It was obvious both were nervous, Viridi more than him.
"Viridi, can I ask you something?" he said, a bit embarrassed.
"It depends. Will I punch you?"
"…Down there…were you about to…kiss me?"
Her face turned a new shade of red, and she turned to look up to him. "…were you?"
"Well…I was wondering…and….yes…I think I was." He stammered embarrassingly. "I didn't mean to, I swear! I just began leaning in…I'm sorry I…"
Her eyes stopped him from speaking as she simply stared into his. His voice became lighter and softer, breathing steadily. Viridi had a second chance to do nothing and leave it at this. She had one last chance to escape his grasp and still live how she did before, without him.
It was too late, because once earth and sky met at that moment, she melted into his arms as he pulled her in closer and closer.
Their first kiss was soft, expected, and loving. It spoke more than either of them could say, and after breaking a part, the two were, frankly, quite embarrassed.
"Does this mean..."
"I supposed we are together." Viridi said, a bit of a grump in her tone. "But no one can know. You know that?"
He nodded, holding her around her waist, a grin on his face.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Viridi."
