Lukas had finished carving his chocolates, each displaying the following messages:

Your lips are so velvety soft. I would kiss them all day ("Why? *groan face-palm")
I succumb to your warm touch ("*blush giggle")
I love you. I hope you feel the same for me ("I hope so…")
I couldn't help but fall for you when you're there ("Erm…")
Your smile brings the greatest joy to my heart ("That's true…")
You picked me out of all of them. You must think I'm SPECIAL ("Aww…")
Everyday without you is like a year in the despairing downpour ("She does bring light wherever she goes…")

And finally,
I want us to be together forever. Will you be my bride and soulmate?

"Agh! We're just dating! Why would this message be chosen?" The message suggested a boatload of intimacy, yet the closest thing to that has always been snuggling, kissing, and flirtatious behaviour around each other- Have I gone too far? Sorry…

"Although… I think this one is special. Matter of fact I do hope we get together someday. I love her so much I could practically be driven to propose in the middle of the ball!" Lukas said with such rigidity that he might as well do everything to make this true. But he dropped and said "Too bad none of us are 18. Gotta wait another 7 months (Jesse (F) was born on September and is the youngest of the four) before I can flash a ring in her eyes…" But then he had an idea. "I could always give her a promise ring then she'd know my commitment." Note that a promise ring is NOT the same as an engagement ring and a wedding ring. Grabbing an iron ingot and a quartz crystal, and using a laser-cutting tool, he was able to forge an iron ring with a quartz crystal so carefully shaped that it glimmers in the sun. Lukas had only injured his finger, but this didn't stop him.

"Just a bit closer, and… done. All right, I have reached the critical angle so it should glimmer like a crystal!" Lukas said in a jovial manner after shooting a beam of light into the crystal and checking if he had cut it correctly. He then gave it a polish and was nearly blinded by its beauty. "Ring, you remind me of Jesse and her emerald-green eyes glistening like diamonds…" He also donned his favourite suit, which beared huge resemblance to Jesse's. Wth confidence and commitment, he took a breath, grabbed his box of classiest chocolates and the rose he picked, as well as the promise ring he made.

All right, here it goes. Jesse, here I come, I'll be waiting…
