", "writing": "It was a pleasant spring afternoon in Pureheart Valley. \n\nMao lay wide awake in his new bed with his eyes gazing up to the freshly painted ceiling. It was warm in his new bedroom. His large bed felt comfortable on his back and it was bigger than the old bunk beds but he did not feel rested at all. He looked at the clock and then turned his gaze to Adorabat on the other side of the bed. She lay face down with her legs and wings spread out in all directions, quietly drooling into a ragged pillow covered in small bite marks. \n\nHe gazed at the clock again and as soon as it ticked onto the new hour he slipped out of bed without a sound. Quickly and effectively he slipped on his clothes and armor before stepping out into the fresher air of his large home. Stepping lightly to the kitchen he found Badgetclops sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee. \n\n\t“Seasons Greetings, Badgerclops.”\n\tMao Mao said as he approached the fridge and grabbed some ingredients. \n\n\t“Huh, aw man, is it winter already? I swear I have your gift… somewhere…”\n\n\t“Ha! No. It is an even better season, the season of love~”\n\n\t“First of all, barf, second, does that mean you got me a turkey dinner?”\n\n\t“Again, no. Have you not heard of Heart Day?”\n\n\t“Maybe… Well ok, no.”\n\n\t“It is a wonderful celebration of love that happens once a year in Pureheart Valley. Everybody gives each other gifts and celebrates the romantic partnership that they are currently battling with. This is why I confessed my love to Adorabat last week.”\n\tMao Mao explained as he put on a blue apron adorned with a small yellow heart. \n\n\t“Uh, shouldn't you have done that today instead?”\n\n\t“This is why you don’t have a girlfriend, Badgerclops.”\n\tMao teased as he cracked some eggs into a bowl.\n\n\t“I have a girlfriend!”\n\n\t“Sure you do. Aham, the reason I confessed my love ahead of time was so that we could spend the previous week taking care of the awkward phase of the relationship. Now that we are all warmed up and have become one synchronous being of love and affection, I can strike while her iron is hot.”\n\tMao Mao explained further while mixing the eggs and some milk together.\n\n“Oh that reminds me. You remember our talk about volume, at night?”\n\n“Apologies but last night’s bout of furious romantic intentions was also part of the plan. It was to make sure we would both wake up later than normal, often referred to as a lazy morning by the equally lazy locals.”\nMao said as the mixture in his bowl started to form a batter. \n\n\t“Don’t you think you are putting a bit too much thought into… everything?”\n\n\t“In the war that is love, nothing is too much effort. You must be willing to strike at a moment’s notice, to willingly drown yourself in the warm, sticky pools of love and always leave your mark deep, so very deep, inside of their soul.\n\tMao Mao explained while furiously mixing the fuck out of the batter. \n\n\t“Dude, fucking sick. Ugh.”\n\n\t“And that is why you don't have a girlfriend.”\n\tMao Mao repeated.\n\n\t“I have a girlfriend!”\n\n\t“You keep saying, so what’s her name?”\n\n\t“Honey. We met like 3 months ago. It’s why I go out every friday? So I don’t keep my friend up all night with what sounds like a rabid cat in a tumble machine being thrown down a flight of stairs?”\n\n“I resent that phrase, but respect your ability to find love even before I, the great hero Mao Mao did. I take it then you got your girlfriend, Honey, a present and booked in advance a romantic evening before all the reservations are filled?”\nMao Mao asked.\n\n\t“Yes. I did! And I just… need to go… do something else really quick.”\n\tBadger said as he slowly backed out of the kitchen and sprinted straight out of the house.\n\n\t“Won’t keep a girlfriend with that attitude.”\n\nMao Mao poured the batter into a hot pan and carefully used a small spatula to keep it in a heart shape. It bubbled and set to which he flipped it over. As it was almost ready, Adorabat stepped into the kitchen. Her eyes were closed and despite the long sleep she still looked exhausted. Her peg leg tapped against the hard floor as she made her way over the table. The slight change in rhythm every few steps giving Mao Mao a sense of pride and accomplishment in his bedroom skills. \n\nHe deftly tossed a plate onto the table, along with a fork and knife, and then a small vase followed by a single blue flower. After all that he flipped a pancake straight across the room and onto her plate. Adorabat sniffed the air and then face planted directly onto it. \n\n\t“Remember your table manners.” \n\nAdorabat let out a muffled something at his words and pulled her head off the plate. She swayed back and forth as she chewed the entire pancake in her mouth before swallowing. Smacking her lips a few times she turned her closed eyes towards Mao Mao as he poured out a tall glass of juice. He put the glass and larger carton down at the table and as he turned around to sort out more pancakes, Adorabat took the carton and began gulping it down heavily. After finishing her drink she let out a gasp and finally pulled her sticky eyelids apart. \n\n\t“Morning Mao Mao.”\n\tShe said cheerfully.\n\n\t“Morning my darling blue rose.”\n\tHe replied as he flipped another pancake over to her.\n\t“I have quite the evening planned for Heart Day.”\n\n\t“Oh that’s today? Oh no!\n\tAdorabat fluttered her wings and took off into the living room. Mao raised an eyebrow but continued to stay at the stove so that his pancakes would not burn. She came back quickly and carried a small card in her mouth. Dropping it onto the table, she picked it up with her wings and wobbled over to Mao Mao.\n\t“I’m sorry Mao Mao, I only got you a card. I made it weeks ago!”\n\n\t“It’s quite alright, it's not about the gift after all but the meaning. Let’s see.”\n\nThe card was simple. A piece of thick paper that had been painted red on one side. On the other was a simple crayon drawing of what seemed to be Adorabat giving Mao Mao the yellow heart shaped marking that was on her stomach as a gift. A cute scene, the throne that Mao Mao sat on was also a good touch. \n\n\t“It's wonderful Adorabat.”\n\tMao Mao said while trying not to cry. \n\n\t“You really mean it?”\n\tAdorabat asked as she fluttered up to him.\n\n\t“Absolutely, it's a wonderful piece of art.”\n\nMao Mao stuck it on the fridge next to a few other drawings she had done over the past week. Some about her fighting monsters, some about random things she had seen around the house. One about the first time they used the new bedroom nearly a week ago. All very adorable in Mao Mao's eyes. \n\nShe giggled as he picked her up and gave her a cute kiss on the forehead. Her giggling interrupted as he then kissed her again on the mouth, sucking on her yellow tongue like a lollipop before breaking away and licking his lips.\n\n\t“I just wish I had more for you… Oh I know!”\n\tAdorabat yelled suddenly as she fluttered away from him and back into the living room.\n\nWith the last of the pancakes done he turned the oven off and headed into the living room to see what other surprises Adorabat had in mind. He found her furiously doodling on something behind the sofa. Ah yes, her very obvious to see hiding spot. Always a good day when she decides to do something ‘in secret’ behind there. Sitting himself down on the sofa, he waited for her to finish while eating his breakfast. \n\nSome minutes passed and she came running out with her wings behind her back. She stepped all the way around the coffee table before reaching Mao Mao and offering him something else as a gift. He took it and found that it was a stack of small square cards, each with a little yellow heart drawn on them, but little else. \n\n\t“They are love tokens! My mommy and daddy used to give them to each other all the time when I was younger. You can use one at anything to make me do something!”\n\n\t“Something? Like, what, anything I want?”\n\nAdorabat recalled how her parents would use them to prank each other when out in public and play all sorts of silly games. She was very young back then though so her memories were pretty fuzzy.\n\n\t“Uhuh, anything you can think of. No matter how embarrassing.”\n\n\t“Oh ho ho, my my Adorabat I didn’t know you were so… Inventive.”\n\tMao Mao flicked through the stack of tokens, counting 14 all in all. \n\t“Hm you did want to give me more gifts for Heart Day right?”\n\n\t“Yeah!” \n\n\t“Then I will use one of these right now to get something a little extra.”\n\tMao Mao said as he picked her up. \n\n\t“Oh boy! What do I have to do?”\n\n\t“Not a lot but holding your breath would help…”\n\tMao Mao muttered as he entered their private bedroom. \n\n22 minutes later. Mao Mao sat in the bath with a pleasantly content look spread across his face. Adorabat meanwhile stood on the sink as she very carefully brushed her teeth and tongue, front and back, and then around her mouth for good measure. After checking her teeth one last time in the mirror she fluttered over and dropped into the bath with a little splash. \n\nMao Mao watched as she sat herself down on her little bathtime platform and began to wash herself. Her wings were always the easiest due to the lack of fur. Then came her face due to how messy it got, especially in the past week. After ducking her head under the water and shaking it dry she began to clean the rest of her small, soft, body. He could not help but let his mind wander for a moment. \n\n\t“Don’t take too long Adorabat, we have places to be yet.”\n\tMao Mao said as he reminded himself of that fact. \n\n\t“Almost done, just making sure I have that smell you like.”\n\n\t“Ahem, thank you…”\n\nMao Mao got out of the bath first. He took a moment to dry himself and as Adorabat finished in the bath and hopped out he was ready with a towel. A part of him loved being useful towards his romantic partner. Another part of him loved being able to rub down every inch of Adorabats warm and silky fur, to feel every inch of her buttery body, until she was as polished as his own sword. \n\nBy the time they finally left the house the sun was setting on the horizon. Mao Mao only had to take one look at such a beautiful sight for him to feel inspired. He decided to not take the aerocycle and instead take the longer forest path down to the town. With Adorabat sitting on his shoulders it proved to be a pleasant walk indeed. The forest was peaceful for once and the spring air had a sweet fragrance to it that helped put him at ease. \n\nAs they approached the town, they found it to be far more lively than the forest. There were reds and pinks everywhere, be it banners, streamers or balloons, and everything had been decorated in heart symbols of some form. It was as beautiful as it was eye bleedingly tacky. \n\n\t“Better than I expected.”\n\tMao Mao admitted. \n\nThe local Sweetypies were also feeling the festive spirit as everywhere Mao Mao looked he could see something different. A large group of them were all dancing in an open part of the town square. Smaller pairings were lazing around, talking, hugging, sometimes kissing or rubbing noses in a way that could be described as sickeningly sweet. There were booths for all sorts. From food to buying gifts for your partner, to souvenirs and trinkets of all colors. They even had two stalls right at the back, all lit up in red, that seemed to be very popular based on the long line of guys waiting to get in. Mao Mao had never seen so much romance before. Not in his childhood, not from his parents, and definitely not from his teenage years. \n\n\t“Stick close, Adorabat. I don’t want to lose you, in the crowds I mean.”\n\tMao Mao said as she fluttered around him.\n\nThe pair slowly made their way through the dense crowd. Once they were free of the town square they took to the smaller streets and side paths and then up to the nearby hillside for the soon to be starting firework show. While there were many locals already set up on large blankets and comfy cushions, Mao Mao’s spot had been reserved in advance. It was a lovely location that was nearer the trees, giving both a perfect view of the skyline above, and more privacy due to extra distance from the main group. \n\nWith the moon rising over the valley, the pair sat themselves down and got comfortable on the thick blanket. Mao Mao looked around, his feline eyes able to pick out details that others would not be able to see in the dim light, and he noticed that almost everybody was laying down to look at the sky. Not wanting to stand out from the others, Mao Mao grabbed Adorabat and took to the ground. She fidgeted at first, flapping her wings and laughing, but soon she grew still. He was warm to the touch and the cooling night air only made her want to touch him more.\n\nMao Mao ruffled the fur on Adorabat’s head and then slid his hand down to her back. While his eyes were gazing up to the thousands of beautiful stars shining against the blackness of the unknown, his mind was stuck on something even more precious. His hand slipped a little lower but he paused. Using his special eyes he glanced around the open field. Everybody else was laying down and almost all of them were cuddling with a partner or two. None were paying any attention to their neighbors as they waited for the show to start. \n\n\t“I am gonna use another one of those tokens.”\n\tMao Mao whispered to her. \n\n\t“Alright!”\n\n\t“Shhhh, I need you to stay really quiet until the show is over.”\n\n\t“Oh, ok.”\n\tAdorabat whispered.\n\nMao Mao’s hand slipped the rest of the way down her back and between her legs. She twitched and lifted her head up in surprise but soon realized what he was doing and laid herself back down on his chest. His movements were simple, sweet, and Adorabat responded to them perfectly. With her now warmed up and relaxed he took hold of her small body and slowly pushed her downwards. The two met in the middle and Adorabat let out a quiet squeak. Mao however continued to push, slower now due to the resistance of her tiny and incredibly tight body.\n\nOnce she had gone as far as she was able to, he helped lift her up so that she was sitting on his lap. He could see her shape in the darkness, keen eyes able to pick out how she sat. Legs wide apart, wings resting on his stomach. She was breathing deeply but also slow and quiet. He reached up and rubbed her cheek softly, when suddenly, a bright flash lit up the field. Mao Mao flinched and pushed up hard, causing her to bounce and let out a small yelp. She threw her wings over her mouth as they settled again. He scanned the surroundings and luckily found that nobody had noticed. \n\nMao Mao calmed himself and laid back to let Adorabat take the lead. When the sky suddenly lit up for the second time they were both ready for it and while it was brief, Mao could see Adorabat as clear as day on top of him. She was both happy and strained, blushed and smiling while frowning. She always did love a challenge. \n\nMore and more fireworks lit up the sky. Each wave brought more flashes of light, more color, and less privacy. The once hidden pair was now being exposed for several long seconds at a time. It was intense and risky which only made Adorabat’s crushingly hot and incredibly flexible insides feel all the sweeter. Mao could not help but desire more of her and so he laid his hands upon her sides and began to help her bounce a little harder, and a little faster. She was heavy, more so than you would expect for such a small girl, but that weight also felt amazing as she fell into his lap again and again. \n\nBefore they knew it, the peak of the show had come. The entire sky began to light up in a barrage of colors and patterns and while Adorabat kept her movements going for a time, she soon began to go slower. Her eyes looked up at the colorful heavens and she found herself at peace. Mao Mao was frustrated at first and tried to move her heavy body on his own but as his arms grew tired he instead laid back and began to take in the sights in front of him. His small girlfriend was straddling him, the size difference so great that her legs were split in two directions, and yet she took every inch he had on offer. Her face showed no difficulty as her smile and eyes were full of innocent wonder. The very fireworks she was fixated on reflecting a second time in her huge eyes. It was beautiful. \n\n\t“Mmm, fuck that’s some good romance.”\n\tMao Mao muttered as his vision blurred, and he exploded inside of her. \n\nThe sky grew dark, the field quiet. Mao Mao breathed heavily into the cold air as he continued to make her feel hotter than ever. He felt so comfortable. And then suddenly one of the locals turned on a lantern, followed by another. \n\n\t“Phew, yeah! What a show!”!\n\tAdorabat shouted now that the show was indeed over.\n\nMao Mao threw his hand over her mouth and pulled her down to his chest before rolling off the blanket and straight into the woods lest anyone catch them in the act. He peeked through the bushes once they had made enough distance and found that everybody was already getting up. He let out a sigh of relief and took his hand off Adorabat. \n\n\t“I’m sorry…”\n\n\t“No no, you completed the mission. It was my fault for not being more clear.”\n\n\t“You’re so cool, Mao Mao.”\n\nMao Mao blushed at her words and then bit his lip as he roughly pulled himself out of her. Sitting back on the cold ground he let her catch her breath for a moment before clearing his throat. \n\n\t“So, dinner?”\n\nThey used the cover of the forest to head into town and took a quick stop by the fountain to clean themselves up, before finally heading down to a brightly lit restaurant on the west side of the town’s square. The outside was less decorated than the rest of the town but a large chalkboard proudly boasted about special seating and meal plans for this particularly romantic day. \n\n“Table for two.”\nMao Mao smugly said as he leaned on the check in desk. \n\n“Alright let’s see, um, where is the other one?”\nThe cute mouse girl behind the desk replied. \n\n“Oh, right here.”\nMao Mao replied as he lifted Adorabat up off the floor. \n\n“That’s your… Heart Day partner?”\n\n“Yes?”\n\n“Ain’t see a bit, um, small?”\n\n“Height has nothing to do with being a great hero or being in love but if you do have a taller chair that might help with things.”\n\tThe receptionist scratched her neck and checked her list a few times before nodding. \n\n\t“Sheriff Mao Mao, window side table for two, on the left. \n\n\t“Thank you Madam.”\n\nThe inside of the restaurant was packed, easily over a hundred couples all quietly enjoying their evening of romantic endeavors and fine food. Mao Mao put Adorabat on his shoulder and made his way through the large room. Their table was indeed where the girl had said. A quiet and lovely looking spot near a window that allowed you to see the night sky and festivals going on outside. It was laid out with a red tablecloth and red candles alike. Mao Mao politely put Adorabat down in her seat before taking his own. \n\nHe looked over the menu for a second before putting it down and tapping his fingers along the tablecloth. The room was warm and lively. Soft music floated through the air, blending perfectly with the hum of chatter. Mao looked outside of the window and found the stars and festival both to be a beautiful sight. He then looked to Adorabat. She sat cutely looking over the menu in simple concentration. The mood was perfect. \n\n\t“So, Aodrabat, have you been enjoying Heart Day so far?”\n\tMao Mao asked casually as he leaned on his hand. \n\n\t“Uhuh, it's the best Heart Day ever! Oh they have meat~”\n\tShe replied. \n\n\t“And you had fun the past week, right?”\n\n\t“Yeah! I love spending time with you, Mao Mao.”\n\n\t“I love spending time with you too, so ahem…”\n\t\nMao Mao got cut off as the waiter stepped up to the table. He asked if they were ready to order and before Mao Mao could answer, Adorabat spoke first. She wanted breaded chicken cutlets with a tomato reduction served with well seasoned potato slices. Mao Mao decided to go along with it and get the fish. He wiped his brow and reminded himself to keep it cool, there was plenty of time yet. \n\n“So, Adorabat, how has… school been?”\n\n“Boring but I did learn some new numbers the other day.”\n\n\t“Heh yes, acidemia can be quite the patience tester.” \n\n\t“I still wish I could just train with you instead, I would learn so much more!”\n\n\t“Adorabat…”\n\n\t“I know, there are no shortcuts in being a hero. Training is still more fun though.”\n\n\t“It is quite fun, yes. I would love to have you around more too.”\n\n\t“Really?”\n\n\t“Absolutely.”\n\tMao Mao said with a smirk.\n\nOnce they had finished their food and took a minute to breath Mao Mao turned his sights back to the mission at hand. He looked around the packed restaurant and steadied his heart. Reaching into the hidden parts of his cloak, Mao brought out a small object. While making sure to keep it hidden he stood up and walked around to the side of the table. \n\n\t“Adorabat. Ever since I took on the mission of protecting this Valley all those months ago I have found your time to be nothing short of pleasant. You are brave and strong and it would make me and my bloodline proud if you would…”\n\tMao Mao paused to reveal the box he was hiding.\n\t“Become eternal partners in the great adventurer that is life?”\n\nThe entire restaurant went silent. Everybody had been watching his speech but none knew what to do about it. Some whispered to each other, only adding to the awkward quietness that the huge room was now full of. Mao Mao picked up on this atmosphere right away and turned to glare sharply at the crowd. He flashed his sword that he kept under his cape just for good measure too. One by one everybody started clapping until the entire building was forcibly cheering. \n\n\t“What do you say?”\n\tMao Mao asked.\n\n\t“Yes! Yes! Ahh!!”\n\tAdorabat screamed before tackling Mao Mao and instantly making out with him heavily on the floor. The crowd continued to clap and cheer them on, while giving each other concerned looks. \n\n\t“When do we stop clapping?”\n\tOne of the locals asked another.\n\n\t“We don’t.”\n\tThe other replied. \n\nBy the time they left the restaurant Adorabat was sitting on Mao Mao’s head with the biggest smile on her face. Mao Mao also looked particularly happy for once as well. The only one who was not looking happy was the receptionist who could only stare at the pair as they disappeared into the crowd walking around the town square. \n\nThey did not hang around the festival and quickly made their way back to the forest path that led up to the house. They did not speak as neither of them felt like they needed to say anything anymore. Instead they both just enjoyed each other's presence. Mao Mao’s head was warm and her wings kept the wind out of his ears. While it was simple, it put Mao Mao at ease and only made him sure his actions tonight were correct. They were made for each other, surely. \n\nEventually they reached their home. Mao Mao stepped into the house to find it quiet and the rooms dark. He turned on a light and looked around to find that Badgerclops was still out. Perhaps spending some time with his supposed girlfriend. It was perfect timing as it meant that the pair would have the entire place to themselves for the rest of the night. \n\n\t“We would have some dessert if you are still hungry?”\n\n\t“I am good.”\n\tAdorabat replied happily.\n\nSuddenly a thought came to Mao Mao. He took out the stack of love tokens still hidden in his belt and flicked through them. Twelve left in all. He tapped them on his palm and grinned. \n\n\t“Turns out we did not use many of your gifts.” \n\tMao Mao said as he walked across the living room.\n\t“And since we should celebrate the occasion, in some way…”\n\tMao Mao continued as he opened the bedroom door.\n\t“How about we use all of them tonight instead?”\n\nAdorabat let out a loud cheer as he tossed her onto the bed and closed the door behind him.\n\nLater on, during the following morning. Mao Mao once again got up first and made his way to the kitchen to sort out breakfast while Adorabat slept like a brick. Badgerclops was still not back yet but that only meant that he did have to apologize for the noise. Mao Mao put on some coffee and stretched himself out, putting his feline flexibility to good use as the previous night had left him feeling stiff. \n\nSurprisingly, Adorabat soon came in to join him. \n\n\t“Morning, you are up early.”\n\tMao Mao said before taking a sip of coffee. \n\n\t“Morn.”\n\tAdorabat replied as she smacked her lips and pulled an eye open. \n\n\t“Badger is still out.”\n\t\n\t“Mmm.”\n\nMao Mao got some juice for his new fiance and kissed her on the head for good measure. He then sat down to start eating his breakfast. Things were peaceful. But he still had a few plans for later. \n\n\t“Oh wait, Heart Day was yesterday which means… hmm, my birthday is in a week!”\n\tAdorabat said as she remembered the date. \n\n\t“Perfect timing, Adorabat, I did have many leftover ideas for Heart Day. If you don’t mind me asking, how old will you be? 21? 22? I don’t think you are older than me but your youth and vigor has always been impressive.”\n\n\t“I will be 7!”\n\n\t“... Oh no.”", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "It was a pleasant spring afternoon in Pureheart Valley.

Mao lay wide awake in his new bed with his eyes gazing up to the freshly painted ceiling. It was warm in his new bedroom. His large bed felt comfortable on his back and it was bigger than the old bunk beds but he did not feel rested at all. He looked at the clock and then turned his gaze to Adorabat on the other side of the bed. She lay face down with her legs and wings spread out in all directions, quietly drooling into a ragged pillow covered in small bite marks.

He gazed at the clock again and as soon as it ticked onto the new hour he slipped out of bed without a sound. Quickly and effectively he slipped on his clothes and armor before stepping out into the fresher air of his large home. Stepping lightly to the kitchen he found Badgetclops sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee.

\t“Seasons Greetings, Badgerclops.”
\tMao Mao said as he approached the fridge and grabbed some ingredients.

\t“Huh, aw man, is it winter already? I swear I have your gift… somewhere…”

\t“Ha! No. It is an even better season, the season of love~”

\t“First of all, barf, second, does that mean you got me a turkey dinner?”

\t“Again, no. Have you not heard of Heart Day?”

\t“Maybe… Well ok, no.”

\t“It is a wonderful celebration of love that happens once a year in Pureheart Valley. Everybody gives each other gifts and celebrates the romantic partnership that they are currently battling with. This is why I confessed my love to Adorabat last week.”
\tMao Mao explained as he put on a blue apron adorned with a small yellow heart.

\t“Uh, shouldn't you have done that today instead?”

\t“This is why you don’t have a girlfriend, Badgerclops.”
\tMao teased as he cracked some eggs into a bowl.

\t“I have a girlfriend!”

\t“Sure you do. Aham, the reason I confessed my love ahead of time was so that we could spend the previous week taking care of the awkward phase of the relationship. Now that we are all warmed up and have become one synchronous being of love and affection, I can strike while her iron is hot.”
\tMao Mao explained further while mixing the eggs and some milk together.

“Oh that reminds me. You remember our talk about volume, at night?”

“Apologies but last night’s bout of furious romantic intentions was also part of the plan. It was to make sure we would both wake up later than normal, often referred to as a lazy morning by the equally lazy locals.”
Mao said as the mixture in his bowl started to form a batter.

\t“Don’t you think you are putting a bit too much thought into… everything?”

\t“In the war that is love, nothing is too much effort. You must be willing to strike at a moment’s notice, to willingly drown yourself in the warm, sticky pools of love and always leave your mark deep, so very deep, inside of their soul.
\tMao Mao explained while furiously mixing the fuck out of the batter.

\t“Dude, fucking sick. Ugh.”

\t“And that is why you don't have a girlfriend.”
\tMao Mao repeated.

\t“I have a girlfriend!”

\t“You keep saying, so what’s her name?”

\t“Honey. We met like 3 months ago. It’s why I go out every friday? So I don’t keep my friend up all night with what sounds like a rabid cat in a tumble machine being thrown down a flight of stairs?”

“I resent that phrase, but respect your ability to find love even before I, the great hero Mao Mao did. I take it then you got your girlfriend, Honey, a present and booked in advance a romantic evening before all the reservations are filled?”
Mao Mao asked.

\t“Yes. I did! And I just… need to go… do something else really quick.”
\tBadger said as he slowly backed out of the kitchen and sprinted straight out of the house.

\t“Won’t keep a girlfriend with that attitude.”

Mao Mao poured the batter into a hot pan and carefully used a small spatula to keep it in a heart shape. It bubbled and set to which he flipped it over. As it was almost ready, Adorabat stepped into the kitchen. Her eyes were closed and despite the long sleep she still looked exhausted. Her peg leg tapped against the hard floor as she made her way over the table. The slight change in rhythm every few steps giving Mao Mao a sense of pride and accomplishment in his bedroom skills.

He deftly tossed a plate onto the table, along with a fork and knife, and then a small vase followed by a single blue flower. After all that he flipped a pancake straight across the room and onto her plate. Adorabat sniffed the air and then face planted directly onto it.

\t“Remember your table manners.”

Adorabat let out a muffled something at his words and pulled her head off the plate. She swayed back and forth as she chewed the entire pancake in her mouth before swallowing. Smacking her lips a few times she turned her closed eyes towards Mao Mao as he poured out a tall glass of juice. He put the glass and larger carton down at the table and as he turned around to sort out more pancakes, Adorabat took the carton and began gulping it down heavily. After finishing her drink she let out a gasp and finally pulled her sticky eyelids apart.

\t“Morning Mao Mao.”
\tShe said cheerfully.

\t“Morning my darling blue rose.”
\tHe replied as he flipped another pancake over to her.
\t“I have quite the evening planned for Heart Day.”

\t“Oh that’s today? Oh no!
\tAdorabat fluttered her wings and took off into the living room. Mao raised an eyebrow but continued to stay at the stove so that his pancakes would not burn. She came back quickly and carried a small card in her mouth. Dropping it onto the table, she picked it up with her wings and wobbled over to Mao Mao.
\t“I’m sorry Mao Mao, I only got you a card. I made it weeks ago!”

\t“It’s quite alright, it's not about the gift after all but the meaning. Let’s see.”

The card was simple. A piece of thick paper that had been painted red on one side. On the other was a simple crayon drawing of what seemed to be Adorabat giving Mao Mao the yellow heart shaped marking that was on her stomach as a gift. A cute scene, the throne that Mao Mao sat on was also a good touch.

\t“It's wonderful Adorabat.”
\tMao Mao said while trying not to cry.

\t“You really mean it?”
\tAdorabat asked as she fluttered up to him.

\t“Absolutely, it's a wonderful piece of art.”

Mao Mao stuck it on the fridge next to a few other drawings she had done over the past week. Some about her fighting monsters, some about random things she had seen around the house. One about the first time they used the new bedroom nearly a week ago. All very adorable in Mao Mao's eyes.

She giggled as he picked her up and gave her a cute kiss on the forehead. Her giggling interrupted as he then kissed her again on the mouth, sucking on her yellow tongue like a lollipop before breaking away and licking his lips.

\t“I just wish I had more for you… Oh I know!”
\tAdorabat yelled suddenly as she fluttered away from him and back into the living room.

With the last of the pancakes done he turned the oven off and headed into the living room to see what other surprises Adorabat had in mind. He found her furiously doodling on something behind the sofa. Ah yes, her very obvious to see hiding spot. Always a good day when she decides to do something ‘in secret’ behind there. Sitting himself down on the sofa, he waited for her to finish while eating his breakfast.

Some minutes passed and she came running out with her wings behind her back. She stepped all the way around the coffee table before reaching Mao Mao and offering him something else as a gift. He took it and found that it was a stack of small square cards, each with a little yellow heart drawn on them, but little else.

\t“They are love tokens! My mommy and daddy used to give them to each other all the time when I was younger. You can use one at anything to make me do something!”

\t“Something? Like, what, anything I want?”

Adorabat recalled how her parents would use them to prank each other when out in public and play all sorts of silly games. She was very young back then though so her memories were pretty fuzzy.

\t“Uhuh, anything you can think of. No matter how embarrassing.”

\t“Oh ho ho, my my Adorabat I didn’t know you were so… Inventive.”
\tMao Mao flicked through the stack of tokens, counting 14 all in all.
\t“Hm you did want to give me more gifts for Heart Day right?”

\t“Yeah!”

\t“Then I will use one of these right now to get something a little extra.”
\tMao Mao said as he picked her up.

\t“Oh boy! What do I have to do?”

\t“Not a lot but holding your breath would help…”
\tMao Mao muttered as he entered their private bedroom.

22 minutes later. Mao Mao sat in the bath with a pleasantly content look spread across his face. Adorabat meanwhile stood on the sink as she very carefully brushed her teeth and tongue, front and back, and then around her mouth for good measure. After checking her teeth one last time in the mirror she fluttered over and dropped into the bath with a little splash.

Mao Mao watched as she sat herself down on her little bathtime platform and began to wash herself. Her wings were always the easiest due to the lack of fur. Then came her face due to how messy it got, especially in the past week. After ducking her head under the water and shaking it dry she began to clean the rest of her small, soft, body. He could not help but let his mind wander for a moment.

\t“Don’t take too long Adorabat, we have places to be yet.”
\tMao Mao said as he reminded himself of that fact.

\t“Almost done, just making sure I have that smell you like.”

\t“Ahem, thank you…”

Mao Mao got out of the bath first. He took a moment to dry himself and as Adorabat finished in the bath and hopped out he was ready with a towel. A part of him loved being useful towards his romantic partner. Another part of him loved being able to rub down every inch of Adorabats warm and silky fur, to feel every inch of her buttery body, until she was as polished as his own sword.

By the time they finally left the house the sun was setting on the horizon. Mao Mao only had to take one look at such a beautiful sight for him to feel inspired. He decided to not take the aerocycle and instead take the longer forest path down to the town. With Adorabat sitting on his shoulders it proved to be a pleasant walk indeed. The forest was peaceful for once and the spring air had a sweet fragrance to it that helped put him at ease.

As they approached the town, they found it to be far more lively than the forest. There were reds and pinks everywhere, be it banners, streamers or balloons, and everything had been decorated in heart symbols of some form. It was as beautiful as it was eye bleedingly tacky.

\t“Better than I expected.”
\tMao Mao admitted.

The local Sweetypies were also feeling the festive spirit as everywhere Mao Mao looked he could see something different. A large group of them were all dancing in an open part of the town square. Smaller pairings were lazing around, talking, hugging, sometimes kissing or rubbing noses in a way that could be described as sickeningly sweet. There were booths for all sorts. From food to buying gifts for your partner, to souvenirs and trinkets of all colors. They even had two stalls right at the back, all lit up in red, that seemed to be very popular based on the long line of guys waiting to get in. Mao Mao had never seen so much romance before. Not in his childhood, not from his parents, and definitely not from his teenage years.  

\t“Stick close, Adorabat. I don’t want to lose you, in the crowds I mean.”
\tMao Mao said as she fluttered around him.

The pair slowly made their way through the dense crowd. Once they were free of the town square they took to the smaller streets and side paths and then up to the nearby hillside for the soon to be starting firework show. While there were many locals already set up on large blankets and comfy cushions, Mao Mao’s spot had been reserved in advance. It was a lovely location that was nearer the trees, giving both a perfect view of the skyline above, and more privacy due to extra distance from the main group.  

With the moon rising over the valley, the pair sat themselves down and got comfortable on the thick blanket. Mao Mao looked around, his feline eyes able to pick out details that others would not be able to see in the dim light, and he noticed that almost everybody was laying down to look at the sky. Not wanting to stand out from the others, Mao Mao grabbed Adorabat and took to the ground. She fidgeted at first, flapping her wings and laughing, but soon she grew still. He was warm to the touch and the cooling night air only made her want to touch him more.

Mao Mao ruffled the fur on Adorabat’s head and then slid his hand down to her back. While his eyes were gazing up to the thousands of beautiful stars shining against the blackness of the unknown, his mind was stuck on something even more precious. His hand slipped a little lower but he paused. Using his special eyes he glanced around the open field. Everybody else was laying down and almost all of them were cuddling with a partner or two. None were paying any attention to their neighbors as they waited for the show to start.  

\t“I am gonna use another one of those tokens.”
\tMao Mao whispered to her.

\t“Alright!”

\t“Shhhh, I need you to stay really quiet until the show is over.”

\t“Oh, ok.”
\tAdorabat whispered.

Mao Mao’s hand slipped the rest of the way down her back and between her legs. She twitched and lifted her head up in surprise but soon realized what he was doing and laid herself back down on his chest. His movements were simple, sweet, and Adorabat responded to them perfectly. With her now warmed up and relaxed he took hold of her small body and slowly pushed her downwards. The two met in the middle and Adorabat let out a quiet squeak. Mao however continued to push, slower now due to the resistance of her tiny and incredibly tight body.

Once she had gone as far as she was able to, he helped lift her up so that she was sitting on his lap. He could see her shape in the darkness, keen eyes able to pick out how she sat. Legs wide apart, wings resting on his stomach. She was breathing deeply but also slow and quiet. He reached up and rubbed her cheek softly, when suddenly, a bright flash lit up the field. Mao Mao flinched and pushed up hard, causing her to bounce and let out a small yelp. She threw her wings over her mouth as they settled again. He scanned the surroundings and luckily found that nobody had noticed.

Mao Mao calmed himself and laid back to let Adorabat take the lead. When the sky suddenly lit up for the second time they were both ready for it and while it was brief, Mao could see Adorabat as clear as day on top of him. She was both happy and strained, blushed and smiling while frowning. She always did love a challenge.

More and more fireworks lit up the sky. Each wave brought more flashes of light, more color, and less privacy. The once hidden pair was now being exposed for several long seconds at a time. It was intense and risky which only made Adorabat’s crushingly hot and incredibly flexible insides feel all the sweeter. Mao could not help but desire more of her and so he laid his hands upon her sides and began to help her bounce a little harder, and a little faster. She was heavy, more so than you would expect for such a small girl, but that weight also felt amazing as she fell into his lap again and again.

Before they knew it, the peak of the show had come. The entire sky began to light up in a barrage of colors and patterns and while Adorabat kept her movements going for a time, she soon began to go slower. Her eyes looked up at the colorful heavens and she found herself at peace. Mao Mao was frustrated at first and tried to move her heavy body on his own but as his arms grew tired he instead laid back and began to take in the sights in front of him. His small girlfriend was straddling him, the size difference so great that her legs were split in two directions, and yet she took every inch he had on offer. Her face showed no difficulty as her smile and eyes were full of innocent wonder. The very fireworks she was fixated on reflecting a second time in her huge eyes. It was beautiful.

\t“Mmm, fuck that’s some good romance.”
\tMao Mao muttered as his vision blurred, and he exploded inside of her.

The sky grew dark, the field quiet. Mao Mao breathed heavily into the cold air as he continued to make her feel hotter than ever. He felt so comfortable. And then suddenly one of the locals turned on a lantern, followed by another.

\t“Phew, yeah! What a show!”!
\tAdorabat shouted now that the show was indeed over.

Mao Mao threw his hand over her mouth and pulled her down to his chest before rolling off the blanket and straight into the woods lest anyone catch them in the act. He peeked through the bushes once they had made enough distance and found that everybody was already getting up. He let out a sigh of relief and took his hand off Adorabat.

\t“I’m sorry…”

\t“No no, you completed the mission. It was my fault for not being more clear.”

\t“You’re so cool, Mao Mao.”

Mao Mao blushed at her words and then bit his lip as he roughly pulled himself out of her. Sitting back on the cold ground he let her catch her breath for a moment before clearing his throat.

\t“So, dinner?”

They used the cover of the forest to head into town and took a quick stop by the fountain to clean themselves up, before finally heading down to a brightly lit restaurant on the west side of the town’s square. The outside was less decorated than the rest of the town but a large chalkboard proudly boasted about special seating and meal plans for this particularly romantic day.

“Table for two.”
Mao Mao smugly said as he leaned on the check in desk.

“Alright let’s see, um, where is the other one?”
The cute mouse girl behind the desk replied.

“Oh, right here.”
Mao Mao replied as he lifted Adorabat up off the floor.

“That’s your… Heart Day partner?”

“Yes?”

“Ain’t see a bit, um, small?”

“Height has nothing to do with being a great hero or being in love but if you do have a taller chair that might help with things.”
\tThe receptionist scratched her neck and checked her list a few times before nodding.

\t“Sheriff Mao Mao, window side table for two, on the left.  

\t“Thank you Madam.”

The inside of the restaurant was packed, easily over a hundred couples all quietly enjoying their evening of romantic endeavors and fine food. Mao Mao put Adorabat on his shoulder and made his way through the large room. Their table was indeed where the girl had said. A quiet and lovely looking spot near a window that allowed you to see the night sky and festivals going on outside. It was laid out with a red tablecloth and red candles alike. Mao Mao politely put Adorabat down in her seat before taking his own.

He looked over the menu for a second before putting it down and tapping his fingers along the tablecloth. The room was warm and lively. Soft music floated through the air, blending perfectly with the hum of chatter. Mao looked outside of the window and found the stars and festival both to be a beautiful sight. He then looked to Adorabat. She sat cutely looking over the menu in simple concentration. The mood was perfect.

\t“So, Aodrabat, have you been enjoying Heart Day so far?”
\tMao Mao asked casually as he leaned on his hand.

\t“Uhuh, it's the best Heart Day ever! Oh they have meat~”
\tShe replied.

\t“And you had fun the past week, right?”

\t“Yeah! I love spending time with you, Mao Mao.”

\t“I love spending time with you too, so ahem…”
\t
Mao Mao got cut off as the waiter stepped up to the table. He asked if they were ready to order and before Mao Mao could answer, Adorabat spoke first. She wanted breaded chicken cutlets with a tomato reduction served with well seasoned potato slices. Mao Mao decided to go along with it and get the fish. He wiped his brow and reminded himself to keep it cool, there was plenty of time yet.

“So, Adorabat, how has… school been?”

“Boring but I did learn some new numbers the other day.”

\t“Heh yes, acidemia can be quite the patience tester.”

\t“I still wish I could just train with you instead, I would learn so much more!”

\t“Adorabat…”

\t“I know, there are no shortcuts in being a hero. Training is still more fun though.”

\t“It is quite fun, yes. I would love to have you around more too.”

\t“Really?”

\t“Absolutely.”
\tMao Mao said with a smirk.

Once they had finished their food and took a minute to breath Mao Mao turned his sights back to the mission at hand. He looked around the packed restaurant and steadied his heart. Reaching into the hidden parts of his cloak, Mao brought out a small object. While making sure to keep it hidden he stood up and walked around to the side of the table.

\t“Adorabat. Ever since I took on the mission of protecting this Valley all those months ago I have found your time to be nothing short of pleasant. You are brave and strong and it would make me and my bloodline proud if you would…”
\tMao Mao paused to reveal the box he was hiding.
\t“Become eternal partners in the great adventurer that is life?”

The entire restaurant went silent. Everybody had been watching his speech but none knew what to do about it. Some whispered to each other, only adding to the awkward quietness that the huge room was now full of. Mao Mao picked up on this atmosphere right away and turned to glare sharply at the crowd. He flashed his sword that he kept under his cape just for good measure too. One by one everybody started clapping until the entire building was forcibly cheering.

\t“What do you say?”
\tMao Mao asked.

\t“Yes! Yes! Ahh!!”
\tAdorabat screamed before tackling Mao Mao and instantly making out with him heavily on the floor. The crowd continued to clap and cheer them on, while giving each other concerned looks.

\t“When do we stop clapping?”
\tOne of the locals asked another.

\t“We don’t.”
\tThe other replied.

By the time they left the restaurant Adorabat was sitting on Mao Mao’s head with the biggest smile on her face. Mao Mao also looked particularly happy for once as well. The only one who was not looking happy was the receptionist who could only stare at the pair as they disappeared into the crowd walking around the town square.

They did not hang around the festival and quickly made their way back to the forest path that led up to the house. They did not speak as neither of them felt like they needed to say anything anymore. Instead they both just enjoyed each other's presence. Mao Mao’s head was warm and her wings kept the wind out of his ears. While it was simple, it put Mao Mao at ease and only made him sure his actions tonight were correct. They were made for each other, surely.

Eventually they reached their home. Mao Mao stepped into the house to find it quiet and the rooms dark. He turned on a light and looked around to find that Badgerclops was still out. Perhaps spending some time with his supposed girlfriend. It was perfect timing as it meant that the pair would have the entire place to themselves for the rest of the night.

\t“We would have some dessert if you are still hungry?”

\t“I am good.”
\tAdorabat replied happily.

Suddenly a thought came to Mao Mao. He took out the stack of love tokens still hidden in his belt and flicked through them. Twelve left in all. He tapped them on his palm and grinned.

\t“Turns out we did not use many of your gifts.”
\tMao Mao said as he walked across the living room.
\t“And since we should celebrate the occasion, in some way…”
\tMao Mao continued as he opened the bedroom door.
\t“How about we use all of them tonight instead?”

Adorabat let out a loud cheer as he tossed her onto the bed and closed the door behind him.

Later on, during the following morning. Mao Mao once again got up first and made his way to the kitchen to sort out breakfast while Adorabat slept like a brick. Badgerclops was still not back yet but that only meant that he did have to apologize for the noise. Mao Mao put on some coffee and stretched himself out, putting his feline flexibility to good use as the previous night had left him feeling stiff.

Surprisingly, Adorabat soon came in to join him.

\t“Morning, you are up early.”
\tMao Mao said before taking a sip of coffee.

\t“Morn.”
\tAdorabat replied as she smacked her lips and pulled an eye open.

\t“Badger is still out.”
\t
\t“Mmm.”

Mao Mao got some juice for his new fiance and kissed her on the head for good measure. He then sat down to start eating his breakfast. Things were peaceful. But he still had a few plans for later.

\t“Oh wait, Heart Day was yesterday which means… hmm, my birthday is in a week!”
\tAdorabat said as she remembered the date.

\t“Perfect timing, Adorabat, I did have many leftover ideas for Heart Day. If you don’t mind me asking, how old will you be? 21? 22? I don’t think you are older than me but your youth and vigor has always been impressive.”

\t“I will be 7!”
