Yuki was sitting down next to her boyfriend as the two were eating.
Yuki: [So, how was work, Suzuki?]
Suzuki: [I promise I didn't talk to any girls.]
Suzuki waved his hands in front of him, closing his eyes and preparing for the worst.
Yuki: [I... wasn't asking about that.]
Suzuki: [But you... always ask about that.]
Yuki: [I'm... sorry.]
Suzuki: [Hey, it's alright. I get why you're like that. Didn't I already say that I'd just work through it with you? Besides, I have a reputation when it comes to women, so I get it.]
Suzuki: (I'm really lucky she looked past it and started dating me.)
Yuki: (I spent so much time wondering if I could really trust him or not that I never actually looked him in the eyes and saw how he felt. Suzuki has always been right next to me. Always cheering me on. He's shown me nothing but... love.)
Yuki stood up and bowed.
Yuki: [I'm sorry. For not trusting you.]
Suzuki stood up in shock.
Suzuki: [Hey. There's no need to...]
Yuki: [It wasn't fair to you. I was just projecting. I promise I'm going to do better.]
Suzuki just smiled.
Suzuki: [I'm really happy to hear that. I promise to do better, too, okay?]
The two drew closer.

Emilia sat with Naoko.
Emilia: [So... could you teach me how to make Chocolates for Subaru?]
Naoko: [If you're going to learn how to make chocolates, you shouldn't do it here. After all, you want it to be a surprise, right?]
Emilia: [You're right. Subaru could walk in on us.]
Naoko: [Ask one of your friends to help you.]
Emilia: [But you're the best at teaching...]
Naoko held Emilia's hands.
Naoko: [Listen. You've gotten a lot better at cooking. Have some faith in yourself and take things slowly.]
Emilia nodded as she walked out into the backyard and called someone.
Emilia: [Hey, Yuki. Can you do something for me?]
Yuki: [What is it, Emi?]
Emilia: [I don't know how to make chocolates.]
Yuki: [Oh. I can teach you, so don't worry about it.]
Emilia: [So can I come over now?]
Yuki: [Uh... ha... hey, stop it. I'm on the phone!]
Emilia: [Yuki? Are you okay?]
Yuki: [I'm... uh... fine. I said stop it! Sorry. My boyfriend is just teasing me right now.]
Emilia: [Oh. That's mean of him. Do I need to talk with him?]
Emilia made a serious voice and face.
Yuki: [Uh, no. No need. Ah. Hey, stop it! It's ticklish! We're getting along a bit better than usual.]
Emilia: [But if he's teasing you too much I can have a stern talk with him.]
Yuki: [I'm... ah... okay. Hey, I already told you to quit it.]
Emilia: [Yuki?]
Yuki: [Suzuki! The call is almost over. At least wait until then.]
Suzuki: [That's no fun.]
Yuki: [Just stop for a second, you idiot!!!]
Yuki was clearly flustered and trying to finish the conversation as quickly as possible.
Emilia: [That's good.]
Yuki: [Well, um... I'll see you tomorrow. 3 pm. Bye bye.]
Emilia: [Okiee... I'll see you... huh?]
Yuki had already hung up.
Emilia: [That was reaaally weird. I bet he was teasing her just like Subaru teases me.]
AN: Ah, this poor innocent soul has no idea what was going on on the other side of the phone. Also Suzuki you're freaky af.

Valentine's Day came as Subaru smiled and walked over to Emilia.
Subaru: [Emilia-tan!!!]
Emilia: [Yes, Subaru?]
Subaur: [Happy Valentine's Day.]
Emilia smiled.
Emilia: [Happy Valentine's Day, Subaru.]
Subaru: [Our first Valentine's Day as a couple. My heart is fluttering, Mili.]
Emilia blushed.
Emilia: [Well, um... I feel the same.]
Subaru: [Oh uh. Right.]
Subaru: (Mili looks so cute right now.)
Emilia: [No funny business right now. We only just woke up.]
Emilia made a serious expression.
Subaru: [Huh?!! I wasn't thinking about that! I was just admiring your beauty.]
Beatrice: [You are both too loud, I suppose. Betty was still feeling sleepy, in fact.]
Subaru: [Sorry Beako.]
Beatrice sighed as she walked over to the computer and began playing chess.
Subaru: (She's gotten so good at it. I wonder if she'll be the world champion someday?)
Subaru smiled, but then shook his head.
Subaru: (What am I thinking? She's the cute and wonderful Beako. Of course, she'll be the world champion!)
Subaru nodded to himself, confirming the thought in his head.
Emilia: [Subaru?]
Subaru: [Yes?]
Emilia held out a box of chocolates to him with a blush on her face.
Emilia: [For you!]
Subaru: [Eh?]
Subaru blushed as he took the box.
Subaru: [Do you mind if I try it?]
Emilia: [I made it because I wanted you to try it, Subaru.]
Subaru sweatdropped.
Subaru: [Right.]
Emilia: [You're such a dunderhead sometimes.]
Subaru: [No one says's dunderhead in this...]
Emilia grabbed a chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth with a victorious smile as Subaru began chewing.
Subaru: [Whoa! This is good.]
Subaru was genuinely stunned. It was very sweet.
Subaru: [Does Mili actually have a talent for cooking stuff that's sweet?]
Emilia: [Eh? You... think so too?]
Subaru: [Oh, did Mom teach you?]
Emilia: [Um, no... it was Yuki.]
Subaru: [Yuki huh? I see.]
Subaru: [They're great, Mili. Best I've ever had.]
Emilia: [You're... not exagerating are you?]
Subaru tilted his head in confusion.
Subaru: [Of course I'm not. It's really the best I've ever had.]
Emilia felt a wave of happiness flow through her whole body.
Emilia: [I'm so glad.]
Emilia had a tear in her eye from happiness as Subaru wiped it.
Subaru: (She's that happy just to make good chocolates, huh?]
Subaru held her hands.
Subaru: [You must have worked really hard, huh?]
Emilia: [Subaru?]
Subaru: [I'm really happy to hear it. Thanks, Mili.]
Subaru: (I gotta take her to that place.)
Subaru: [Hey Mili.]
Emilia: [Yes, Subaru?]
Subaru: [Let's go out on a date. There's this really cool place I found. It'll be fun. I know you'll love it!]
Emilia smiled.
Emilia: [Okay. Let's go Subaru.]
※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※
In a private karaoke booth, Subaru was standing up as Emilia was sitting down in her seat.
Subaru: [That was awesome, Emilia-tan.]
Emilia sat there, and there was a sticky white liquid dripping from her lips. She licked her lips, as she seemed to be savouring the taste.
Ram: What the fuck are you writing?
AN: Ahhh shit. Here we go again. It's fucking Ice Cream, you pervert.
Ram: ...
Me: Back into the story now, perverted Nee-sama.
Ram: You write it in such a way and then pin the blame on Ram? You little...
I clicked my fingers, sending her back into the story.
AN: At least my readers weren't as perverted as to think they would do something like that in a karaoke booth, right?
Subaru: [I totally nailed it!]
Emilia nodded.
Emilia: [You did great!]
Emilia was holding vanilla ice cream as she took another bite.
Emilia: [Yum!!!]
Subaru: [Hey Mili. Eat properly. It's dripping down your chin!]
Emilia pouted.
Emilia: [I've never had something like this so...]
Subaru took out a napkin and started wiping her chin. Emilia then continued eating her ice cream as Subaru sang to the music. She smiled softly. Subaru had brought her to a Karaoke Ice Cream Parlour. Such a strange thing.
Subaru: [Hey Mili. Why don't you take a turn?]
Emilia: [Eh? Are you sure?]
Subaru: [Yeah! Show me how much you've improved.]
Subaru: (She probably sounds like an angel now.)
Emilia began singing.
An ominous sound played out as Natsuki Subaru, for the first time in his home world, Re: Turned By Death.
AN: Just Kidding.
Emilia sang, and while it wasn't really all that good, it wasn't unpleasant.
Subaru: [Whoa! The voice of an angel!]
Emilia blushed as she pouted.
Emilia: [I can tell when you're just flattering me, Subaru.]
Subaru laughed a little as he scratched the back of his head.
Subaru: [You've improved a lot. Trust me.]
Emilia smiled.
Emilia: [I'm so happy to hear that, Subaru.]
Subaru smiled as he sat there, just happy to see his fiancée smiling and having fun.

The date ended as Subaru and Emilia returned home.
Subaru: [Huh? Where is everyone?]
Emilia: [I think Mother and Father are out on a date. They said they would take Natsumi with them.]
Subaru: [They could've asked us to take care of her and waited till we got home.]
Emilia: [I think that they didn't want to bother us.]
Subaru smiled softly.
Emilia: [You watch some TV. I'm going to take a shower.]
Subaru: [Alright.]
Subaru sat down and turned on the TV. He started watching something.
Subaru: [Oh! Jujutsu Kaisen is on!]
He was watching Itadhori and Nanami jumping Mahito.
Subaru: [This episode was awesome when I watched it before.]
After the end of the episode, Subaru sighed.
Subaru: [Even watching the episode again, I still can't believe that bastard managed to escape. Still, that was a great episode and still one of my favourites in Season 1. Nanami's Cursed Technique is really cool. I love his backstory, too.]
Subaru mimicked Nanami.
Subaru: [Being a sorceror is shit!]
Subaru laughed a little.
Subaru: [Gotta be my favourite character so far. Bet he's going to be even more amazing in Season 2.]
Then he heard Emilia call out to him.
Emilia: [Subaru! Can you come help me with something?]
Subaru stood up and walked to their room. He opened the door to see that the bed was covered in petals. Emilia was on the bed, wearing nothing but a ribbon.
Emilia: [Ha... happy Valentine's Day. He... here's your.. pre... present...]
He looked upon this sight as his brain short-circuited.
Subaru: [Emilia-tan?]
Subaru: (Holy crap. What the heck is this? I've seen her without anything on, so why does her having the ribbons on make it even better? I'm such a pervert.)
Emilia: (He's just staring. Did I make a mistake by copying what Yuki said she did?)
Subaru felt like he was going to explode, but then he took a breath.
Emilia: [Subaru?]
Subaru: [I'm going to open my present now.]
Emilia blushed as Subaru locked the door and walked over to her.
※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※
An hour and a half later, Emilia was in the shower as she blushed in embarrassment.
Emilia: (What was I thinking?!! Why did I do the same thing as Yuki?)
She was completely red in the face.
Emilia: (I'm so embarrassed. I want to disappear.)
Subaru, in the meantime, was lying in bed with a wide grin.
Subaru: (That was amazing. She was so cute looking, all embarrassed over the scene. Totally EMT!)
Subaru smiled to himself.
Subaru: (Things are going so well. It feels... vaguely suspicious.)
Subaru shrugged.
Subaru: (Well, whatever. Guess I'll read JJK until Mili finishes her shower.)
AN: No!!!
Subaru looked horrified as he was reading the Shibuya Arc.
AN: What have I done?
Subaru: (I... hic... knew that all the things going well in my life so far were way too... hic suspicious.)
Subaru: [Fuck you, Mahito!]
Emilia got out of her towel.
Emilia: [Subaru. I'm done. Your turn.]
Subaru: [Thanks Mili.]
Subaru put down his phone and got in the shower. That's when she saw the manga panel.
Emilia: [... what in the... Nanami? No!!!]
Emilia grabbed the phone.
Emilia: [No! This can't be real! It can't be. It has to be fake!]
Emilia scrolled through the website. Viz Media. Official. Emilia sniffled.
Emilia: [But... Nanami... Why would the author kill off Nanami?!! What's wrong with him?!!]
Emilia was enraged. Just like Subaru, he was also her favourite character. Not only had she learned he was dead, but this was a spoiler since she hadn't read the manga.
Emilia: [If I ever see the author, I'll... I'll teach him not to be a bad boy!]
AN: What are you doing over there, Gege?
Gege: Giving Sukuna an Anti-Ice Technique that he hasn't used since the Hein Era.
AN: You know, Emilia could just kill him with her pure physical strength, right?
Gege: Nah, I'd win.
Emilia: Oh, really?
Gege: Help me!
AN: I thought you said you'd win?
Gege: Bro!!!
AN: Maybe it's your turn to become a Kit-Cat?
Gege: I'm killing off Choso just for that.
AN: Fuck you!
Emilia imagined spraying the cat in the face with water and disciplining it.
Gege: She knows I'm not really a cat, right?
AN: Would you rather have her spray you in the face with water or beat the shit out of you as she did to Regulus?
Gege: Meow.
Emilia read a bit further.
Emilia: [Yuji is so empty looking now...]
Emilia pouted.
Emilia: [This isn't right at all! Not at all! Good people deserve to have good things happen to them!]
Emilia: (You better give him a happy ending or I'm coming for you, Gege!)
Gege: I am so cooked.
AN: Just give him a happy ending.
Gege: Nah, I'd Write Angst.
