"his hair looks like corn-on-the-cob.." she murmured under her breath, trying so desperately to be discreet about her comment.
"huh?" the tougher-looking student turned to stare at his companion, an eyebrow raised. "what did you...

CHECKING YOUR PHONE for the millionth time in an hour, you walked through the halls of Hope's Peak Academy.
Just that morning, your boyfriend had sent you a text, telling you to meet up with him in the parking lot at the beginning of the last class period. You had a feeling it was because of Valentine's Day, but you weren't completely sure.
You snuck out of the school entrance, stuffing your phone into your hoodie pocket and adjusting your backpack strap.
It was then you caught the sight of Mondo, leaning against his motorcycle with a huge smile. "There ya' are, cutie."
"Of course," you huffed, giving Mondo a small peck on the cheek when you approached. "It's Valentine's Day, and knowing you, something is definitely planned!"
"What..? Me?" He mocked himself, grinning like an impatient and overenthusiastic child. "Now let's go! Get on!"
"Eh--?" You hopped onto the back of Mondo's motorcycle. "Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise," Mondo cheekily said, placing your helmet onto you and putting his own on.
You exited the school and smiled as the wind buffeted toward your face, not in a painful way, but in a comforting one. You glanced suspiciously toward Mondo, looking away with a blush when you realized his excitement didn't fade once.
Looking around at the scenery, you tried to figure out exactly where you were going. But the more that Mondo drove, the more unsure you became.
"We're almost there," he cooed at you, as if sensing your boredom. "Just wait a little bit longer babe."
It was about five more minutes until he spoke again. "Alright, now close your eyes!" Mondo shouted over the wind. "We're getting closer!"
You sent him a quizzical look before shrugging and shutting your eyes, letting your helmet rest flush against Mondo's back. "Whatever you say."
In the span of a few minutes, you felt the motorcycle slow to a halt, followed by incoherent chatter. You recognized one voice to be your boyfriend's, both because of his deeper voice and the fact that you could feel his back rumble as he spoke. The other was an unknown voice, but it sounded like a middle-aged woman.
"Enjoy!" She chirped, something crumpling nearby. There was also a smell, something very familiar, yet you couldn't put your finger on it.
"Mondo," you perked up, lifting yourself up to place your head on top his shoulder. "Can I open my eyes yet?"
"I guess ya' can now," Mondo chuckled, leaning to the side so that you could see what as in front of him. When you opened your eyes, you were greeted with a large screen and a bunch of cars.
"Where are we..?" You questioned, watching as Mondo handed you a bag of popcorn. "Oh, so this was the smell.." you murmured.
"It took me awhile to find ya' one--" Mondo nervously rubbed the back of his neck.
"..We're at a drive-in movie! I know they aren't around as much anymore, but I thought you woulda' enjoyed it.."
You couldn't resist the smile on your face when Mondo began to ramble, trying to act tough but ultimately failing as he glanced to you for approval.
"This is perfect Mondo," you grinned, wrapping your arms around his broad shoulders and pulling yourself into his embrace. "Thank you..!"
"Y-Yeah," Mondo murmured, enveloping you in his strong arms. "Happy Valentine's Day.."
You took a deep inhale of breath, taking in Mondo's scent before backing away. Nonchalantly, you stuck a hand into the popcorn, popping a few in your mouth. "..What movie are we watching?"
"It's some movie marathon event for Valentine's Day or something," Mondo shrugged, pulling his leather jacket closer. He leaned down toward his backpack, grabbing a soft blanket and wrapping it around your shoulders. "Here. We're actually here a bit early, so I don't want ya' gettin' cold."
You offered your boyfriend a grateful smile, leaning yourself on him and coiling yourself within the blanket. "Lucky for us, you're a romantic movie expert!"
"Damn right!" Mondo laughed, smoothing out the little hairs at the end of his pompadour with a proud smile.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Mondo.."
"Of course, babe."
