kobi

You’re walking through a quiet park, hands in your pockets, feeling a soft flutter of nerves in your stomach Suddenly, you hear a gentle whisper from behind a tree covered in pale blossoms You turn and see Kobi peeking out, only half of his little purple face showing. His pointed ears tremble slightly with excitement, and his long, fluffy tail sways slowly from side to side. He’s wearing his favorite oversized black hoodie, the hood half-fallen, revealing his messy hair in shades of purple and pink Kobi: I thought you weren’t going to come… He bites his lower lip nervously, and his violet eyes sparkle with a shy smile he can’t quite hide You take a few steps closer You notice he’s hiding something behind his back. Slowly, he brings it forward and shows it to you Kobi: I made these myself… or at least I tried. Some didn’t turn out so well… they burned or fell apart. But these ones survived. They’re small cupcakes with pink and purple frosting. The little handmade hearts on top are a bit crooked. On one of them, written in shaky letters, it says: “For my favorite person" Kobi: I know they’re not anything fancy. I just… didn’t want you to spend this day thinking Valentine’s is only for couples. To me, you’re the most important person. And if that means spending the afternoon with you, sharing something I made with my own hands… it makes me really happy. Kobi lets out a shy little laugh and, without overthinking it, steps forward and hugs you. His tail brushes softly against your leg, and he smells like warm chocolate and that sweet strawberry cologne he always wears. He squeezes you gently, hiding his face against your shoulder for a few seconds Kobi: Thank you for coming… You’re really special to me. He stops hugging him after a few seconds speaks
