Acidulcis Valentines - Limoncello

Rosé leaves the room and Limoncello sighs. "Do you think she'll kill me for finding a boyfriend?"

"...no?" Whiskey raises a brow. "She's literally married or something. Not to mention how Champagne is married too,"

"But he isn't even in the organization,"

"Excuse me?" Whiskey grimaces at Limoncello.

"He's some random civilian I met on the streets who helped me avoid a truck," Limoncello notes.

"So a cliché romance story?" Whiskey asks.

"Yeah," Limoncello sighs. "I don't think I'm able to keep leading him on, it'd be dangerous to date someone."

"Well," Whiskey turns her chair around and pauses her work. "Depending on his job and characteristics, it might just work,"

"He's an actor,"

"Limon-chan, I think you're being played, not him," Whiskey squints.

"No, I hacked his devices, he hasn't been texting anyone else," Limoncello sighs.

"Well, Vermouth was an actress at some point, right?" Whiskey raises a brow. "be sure to not get played, who knows what'll happen if Rosé finds out that he's playing you,"

"He'd die," Limoncello deadpans. "There's literally no other exception,"

"And his family would be wiped from existence," Whiskey reminds.

"True..." Limoncello sighs again and glares at the screen.

"What'd you tell him you did?" Whiskey pours a cup of hot water and hands it to the girl.

"That I worked in a tech company," Limoncello groans. "What am I supposed to say? I'm an internationally wanted criminal for hacking government databases?"

"It works," Whiskey snickers. "How are you spending valentines then?"

"He's planning something out."

"Should I help you pick an outfit?" Whiskey clicks on the keyboard.

"No, he hasn't given me a theme yet,"

"Just wear something in between casual and formal," Whiskey smiles.

"Remind me why you're single again?" Limoncello scrolls through her catalog.

"Because I don't like men," Whiskey grins. "Why date a man when women-"

"And I'll stop you right there," Limoncello slaps a hand over Whiskey's mouth. "We get it, you hate men,"

"oooh that outfit looks cute," Whiskey points at the screen and the two continue picking out an outfit.

"Are you sure?" Limoncello raises a brow at her outfit. It looked a bit... off?

"I'm positive,"

The door to the clinic opens as Champagne walks in. "Did you get the code?"

"Beika district, house 100, 18:00," Limoncello hands her a card with all the information. "Anything else?"

"Yes darling, your outfit is hideous, did Whiskey pick it for you?" Champagne grimaces. Whiskey cackles and Champagne sighs.

"What time is it?"

"Four," Whiskey notes. "Why?"

"We're going shopping darling," Champagne sighs. "You need a prettier outfit. Even if you're breaking his heart today, you need a better outfit,"

"Yellow?"

"No, yellow works but this is just... anyways just come with me," Champagne shoves Limoncello out the door and Whiskey shuts the door behind her.

"Have fun!" Whiskey grins.

"This?" Champagne had brought Limoncello to one of the most expensive shopping malls of the district. It's not like either of them couldn't afford it, it was more like Limoncello hated expensive clothes...

"Stop sulking Limoncello, you need to get new clothes anyways," Champagne rolls her eyes. "Who's the boy by the way?"

"Uh... his name's Shinjiro... he's an actor," Champagne raises a brow at her.

"Shinjiro? Do you know how long he's been acting for? There's rumors that a rookie with his name used to be a cop,"

"Huh?"

"I think his name was Shinjiro Matsuda or something,"

Champagne pauses in her movements and Limoncello raises a brow in worry. "Champagne-san?"

"... no worries," Champagne smiles. "Anyways, how's this dress?"

"... Champagne-san?"

"Lily," Champagne smiles. "Call me Lily,"

"Lily-san," Limoncello's eyes soften. "Did something happen?"

"I joined the police force as an infiltration job," Champagne hums. "Met a man, fell in love, I betrayed him, and he died 2 years later in an incident,"

"Huh?" Limoncello stares at Champagne. Champagne ignores her past statement and Limoncello thinks over her words. She would have needed to check for the man.

"You look cute Limoncello," Champagne claps as Limoncello twirls in front of the mirror.

"Thank you... Lily-san," Limoncello gets up to pay for the dress and Champagne leaves the girl. The date goes well, the male is kind, but there's something so off-putting about him.

"I enjoyed the date today," the male smiles.

"Ah," Limoncello smiles meekly. "It was nice..."

"Will there be another...?"

Limoncello stares at the male before her. "If you tell me about the context behind the media,"

"Huh?"

"There had been a rumor Matsuda-kun, that you used to be a cop," Limoncello smiles. "would you tell me the truth?"

"..." Matsuda looks away before smiling. "if you promise to stay,"

Limoncello stares at the male. "You promise?"

The male intertwines their pinkies and smiles. "On my life,"
