Everyone around Jim buzzed around, leaving him confused. "What is going on today Dad?" He asked Kevin. The redhead glanced down for a moment, interrupted from his happy whistling, and was shocked, as if just noticing the boy.
"Huh? Oh. Jim. Well i mean today is February 14th." Kevin managed, a bashful look in his eyes. Though it dimmed into amusement at the deepened confusion in the boy's eyes.
"What is February 14th? A happy day? A race? Everyone is running around like crazies." Jim murmured curiously. Kevin sighed, wondering where Jim got his strange thoughts from and looked around for the Ravenet.
"W-well um how do i put it, It's when....," Kevin's gaze fell to some teenagers giving each other chocolates all the while blushing like crazy and it gave him an PG idea. "You give chocolate to the most important person to you!" He finished proudly. The green haired boy's eyes widened and he released his dad's hand immediately.
"I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING FOR HIM !" The boy was suddenly panicky.
"Him???" Kevin was confused. He kneeled down infront of the boy and placed hands on his shoulders. "Since we're out, should i text Double D that we are going to get you some chocolates from the store for someone?"
Jim looked a bit better, but wasn't sure if he still understood. He was just afraid that He would be upset if Jim didn't get him anything. He wondered if He even knew about February 14th. Jim was sure He did though, the other was so smart.
"I want to give a lot!" The boy shouted.
Kevin winced at the noise but stood and nodded. "Oh, Double D and I have plans, will you be okay by yourself Jim, you are just a boy, should i call someone to watch over you?"
The green haired boy thought it over and started murmuring to himself as they reached the store. Looking inside, the room was surrounded by tons of different chocolates and stuffed animals. Jim was impressed and thoroughly confused by it all.
Once inside, Kevin let Jim go and the boy stumbled over to some heart shaped boxes. Words like "I love you" or "Kiss me" were written on most of the boxes and it made the boy's face flush thinking of the one he was going to give something too.
On his way back with a rather large box of assorted chocolates, Jim found himself face to face with a medium sized stuffed Cactus. Surprise filled his eyes and he grabbed it immediately, finding his dad again.
This is perfect! The boy thought. Kevin, however, seemed suddenly interested in whoever was going to be receiving these gifts.
"So uh, Jim, who is the lucky person?" He managed to ask casually. But the boy was too lost in thought, staring at the stuffed Cactus. He absently scratched his stomach with his free hand and mumbled to himself.
"Jim?" Kevin asked again, and stopped, breaking the boy's concentration.
"Oh, yes dad?" He replied, still absently scratching.
"Er... nevermind, do you want me to call Plank or someone to watch you for the night while we are out?" Kevin asked instead, paying for the items at the counter. The name caught Jim's attention, but as he turned to his dad to reply, a familiar voice rang out behind them.
