Valentine's Day ((Open))

[ngm_miscellaneous]

It was February 14th. And all across New York (and a little bit of New Jersey) superheroes had to deal with someone somewhere wanting them to:

Angel giggled at Cedric, but kept her attention on Aiden.

"Oh, nothin' much. Just it bein' Valentine's Day and all."

[sonoflongshot]

"It's Valentine's Day?" Aiden tilted his head; his eyes narrowed as he tried to count the days. "Huh. Guess you're right."

He looked Angel up and down. "I don't see no chocolate..."

[crawler_kid]

Angel sat down neck to him and planted a kiss on his cheek, before placing a box of chocolates in his hands.

"That's just part of your gift today, Sugah."

[sonoflongshot]

Ah. The old hidden box of chocolates. He always fell for that on Valentine's Day. Usually because he wasn't paying attention that it was Valentine's Day.

"Just part?" He raised an eyebrow as he kept an eager Scottie from getting to his box of chocolates. It was his sugar! No one, person or beast, would stop him from the complete sugar rush later!

"Just part," she told him.

She took a breath. Oh, God, let her have done the right thing here.

"So... Ah was talkin' to Sara's boyfriend, Bruce, and it turns out his daddy knows a lot of people in the music business... And it turns out one of those guys knows a band that's lookin' for a drummer on account of their old one droppin' out, and they're kinda local... And... Ah gave him one of your tapes..."

Deep breath. Deep breath.

"If you want a shot... they'd like to hear you."

"You... I... wha?" Aiden blinked at Angel. He was trying real hard to process what she said and not take it to his Mojoworlder extremes.

And since he was focused on thinking, Cedric nearly got the box of chocolates out of his hands.

[crawler_kid]

"Ah... Ah got you an audition..." she tried.

[sonoflongshot]

Aiden put a hand on Cedric's head to keep the small dog from the chocolates.

"You... you..." A smile slowly cracked through the astonishment. "You're wonderful."

The chocolates were tossed on some table in the room. He wasn't paying attention to exactly where. He was busy pouncing on Angel. From around two inches away.

[crawler_kid]

Angel wrapped her arms and tail around him and kissed him, relief flooding through her.

She hadn't seen him quite this happy in some time. It was good to see again.

[sonoflongshot]

Aiden was far from relieved. He was excited and very much kissing Angel for everything he was worth.

Even if Cedric was pawing his butt because he seemed to be attacking Mommy.
