Little Cupid

Together

~Sorry that it's been a while since an update, but I hope you enjoy~

Lilith would consider herself upset right now, but 'upset' is an understatement. She feels like hitting someone with a pillow that has bricks in it since a pillow alone doesn't do her enough justice.

That someone that she's planning to hit was Elliot. Why? Because her boyfriend was on the floor, clutching his stomach while laughing at Lilith's inventory of childish dresses that her father deemed appropriate for her to wear.

"I-I-!" Elliot was trying to control his breathing and failing miserably. "I-I-can't- *huff* -believe your dad m-made you wear this!"

Lilith was so embarrassed that she couldn't take it. She grabbed her small notebook and started hitting Elliot with it.

Elliot's chest was already hurting from laughter, so Lilith's assault didn't make things any better. "OW-LILY PLEASE-" Lilith proceeded to hit him hard enough to sting.

Elliot dodged another attack, grabbed Lilith by her arm, and quickly but gently pull her to the floor with him. Elliot wrapped his arms around his girlfriend to stop her from hurting him any further and kissed Lilith's cheek. "I'm sorry, Lily. It wasn't that funny."

Lilith still pouted in his arms, "Well, you seemed to think it's hilarious."

Elliot let go and went on his phone, "I'll make it up to you. You can laugh at all the baby pictures of me my mom sent to the family chat." Elliot pulled out his family contact and went to the images.

Lilith took the phone out of Elliot's hand in excitement and started to laugh as hard as her boyfriend was before. "I forgot how much you practically bathed in your food!"

Elliot flushed in embarrassment but laughed with Lilith regardless. "Alright, all jokes aside, we might want to go dress shopping. Unless you're comfortable with what you have."

Lilith calmed down and gave Elliot his phone back, "No, I think we should go shopping. I need to refresh my choice of clothing anyway. What about you?"

Elliot began to search up dresses from a store that they could go to later. "Don't worry; I'm already sorted out. What are we looking for your dress to have?"

Lilith pondered for a minute, "Yikes, I'm so used to my dad picking the outfits for me. Well, I might want to be comfy enough to dance, but I also want the dress to capture the Valentine's Day theme."

Elliot smiled and brought Lilith closer, "Nice! Let's browse then, shall we?"

Red was fidgeting on the park bench while he was waiting for Irvin to show up so they can finally talk together.

Irvin promised that he would meet Red at the park in 15 minutes. So far, it's been 20 minutes, and as Red counted every second, he kept getting tenser by the minute.

'What if something happened to him? What if he went to see Sienna without me? He probably did, and he's going to cry without a shoulder to cry on.'

"Red."

Red snapped his head in the direction of the voice. It was a disheveled looking Irvin staring at him with dull eyes. Red was awash with relief that all he could do at that moment was get up and hug his best friend.

Irvin tensed in Red's arms but quickly relaxed. Irvin patted Red's back and signaled for him to let go.

"Ah, sorry. I was just-"

"Worried?" Irvin interrupted. "You don't have to worry about me all the time you know."

Red smiled and patted Irvin's shoulder. "Kinda hard for someone like you."
