Love is in the air, as Valentine's Day is upon us. Stick around with your significant one or if you don't have a girlfriend, perhaps cry in the bathtub with a tub of ice cream. In all seriousness, I just want to make this a filler chapter as I want to further look into how my characters and the A Ronin's Harem characters would interact for the first time, and even more so for how the Love For One Color characters would interact for the first time. Hope you guys enjoy this special, and I'll see you guys later.

Intro:

(Marie's POV)

It was quite early in the morning, and Marie was preparing for something after she got out of the shower and put on her kimono. You could tell she's in a good mood by the incredibly happy look on her face. She was putting on some makeup, as she has something planned for this Valentine's Day. After Marie put her makeup on, she went to the kitchen to prepare these dishes and placed them in two bento boxes, and here they are.

~~~~~~
Sesame fried shrimp
Onigiri
Fried chicken
Mochi donuts
Sushi
Gyōza dumplings
~~~~~~

Marie: I hope Azazel would love this.

She places the bento boxes into a picnic basket after wrapping them up, along with sake bottles, chocolates, and sweets that Nylah made for us. Marie walked down to her car and drove off to see me.

---

(Azazel's POV)

I woke up to get myself a cup of coffee, while everyone else was asleep.

Azazel: Hmm... I wonder what I should make for breakfast.

I made myself a breakfast burrito to start my day, and after I was done eating, I got a text message from Marie.

Azazel: Huh... I wonder what this could be about.

----------

Marie: Hey, Azazel~ <3

Azazel: Hey, Marie. What's up?

Marie: Oh, I just want to know if you would like to be my valentine for today.

Azazel: What makes you say that?

Azazel: .....

Azazel: Crap! I forgot it's Valentine's Day.

Marie: Hehe~ Yep, today is indeed Valentine's Day. I'm coming over to see you so we can go on our date. How does that sound, Azazel?

Azazel: That sounds like fun. I'll go out with you for today, Marie.

Marie: Thanks, Azazel. Love ya <3

Azazel: Love ya too.

----------

Azazel: Well, time for me to get dressed.

I went back upstairs to put on my tuxedo, as well as my oxfords, Retro Specs, and a fedora.

Azazel: Ooh la la, I'm liking this look.

I also put on some cologne and I am looking sharp as fuck. I walked back downstairs and waited for Marie to arrive here.

Azazel: Now all I got to do is wait.

---

---

The doorbell can be heard, as Marie arrived at my house.

Azazel: Well, speak of the devil.

I walked over to the door, and when I opened it up, I was stunned by how beautiful Marie looked for Valentine's Day.

Marie: How do I look?

Azazel: You look amazing, Marie.

She giggled at my compliment and kissed me on my cheek.

Marie: I got everything ready for our date. Shall we head out, my prince?

Azazel: Why yes, m'lady.

Marie: My, aren't you the charmer. *She giggles*

I locked the door behind me and got into Marie's car. We were listening to listening to something that we recently found while surfing through the radio by someone named Minai of the Octo Sisters and a part of K/DA.

Marie: Hmm... this is actually a good song.

Azazel: I agree with you, Marie. This shit slaps~

As we listen to the song, parts of the song have the voice turn echoey, ghastly, and a little bit distorted further into the song.

Azazel: Okay, I take back what I said..... this shit really fuckin' slaps~

Marie: You said it~

We were jamming out to the song as we continued on to our destination. After a while of driving, we made it to the park. We walked over to a cherry blossom tree and set up where we plan to have our picnic. And this is quite the convenient spot, because we won't get surrounded by a horde of fans wanting to do things with Marie. The last time that happened when I was hanging out with Callie back in Spending Time with Callie, I had to distract them so she can make it to Octo Canyon without being bombarded by fans.

Marie: Here, um... I wanted to give this to you, Azazel. I hope you like it. *She gave me one of the bento boxes she brought with her*

Azazel: What's this?

I unwrapped the cloth and opened up the box to see delicious Japanese dishes she made.

Azazel: You.. cooked this for me?

Marie: Yeah.... I hope you like it. *She had a blush on her face*

Azazel: Well then... itadakimasu. *I take the chopsticks she brought for me and start eating the food, starting with the onigiri*

Marie: (What the hell is wrong with me?! Why am I being so nervous around him on Valentine's Day? Calm down, Marie....)

Azazel: This is good.

Marie: Huh? *She turns to face me*

Azazel: This is quite good, Marie. I like it.

Marie: Oh... thank you. *She smiled at me with a slight blush on her face*

She brings out the pastries and we start eating them, along with the chocolates.

Azazel: I really enjoy this picnic with you, Marie.

Marie: Really?

Azazel: Of course. *I smiled at her*

Marie: You make my heart feel so warm inside, Azazel. *She gives me a hug, to which I hug her back*

Azazel: I'm happy to spend this day with you, Marie.

We stared into each others eyes and we shared a deep and passionate kiss. After a bit, we broke off to get some air.

Azazel: I love you, Marie.

Marie: I love you too, Azazel.

She rests her head on my shoulder as we start drinking the two sake bottles she brought with us along with eating the rest of our lunch.

(Diana's POV)

The rest of the Agent had gotten up and were looking to spend Valentine's Day with me, but much to their luck.. I was gone. Did I also mention that Callie and Off the Hook was there as well? No? ....Oh well.

Jaina: Aww. I was looking to spend Valentine's Day with Azazie~

Callie: Hold up... that's what you call him?

Jaina: Well, I've always called him that when we were kids.

Marina: Oh my God, that is so adorable, Jaina~

Alice: I wonder who Big Brother is spending time with...

Diana: I did plan on spending time Azazel, and I did plan on treating him better then Miss Flat Tits over there. *She pointed at Pearl*

Pearl rushed over to Diana and had her forehead up on Diana's; anime style. They both had the anger mark on their head like what you would see in your favorite anime you binge-watch at home.

Pearl: Did you just called me 'flat tits', vomit bag?!

Diana: And what if I did, what are you gonna do about it?!

Pearl: That's it! You're getting a Pearl-style beating, ya pervy popsicle!

Diana: Bring it on, you gnomish clown!

They got themselves into a cartoonish brawl.

Marina: Please, Pearlie. Stop fighting. *She tried to stop them*

Both Pearl and Diana punch Marina to get her out of their business.

Pearl & Diana: Out of my way, cow tits!

Marina lands on the ground as they knock her out from that attack. Bordeaux rushes over to Marina to see if she's okay.

Bordeaux: Are you okay, Marina? *She had a worried tone in her voice*

Marina: Now that I think about it... watching then fight is more fun than working, Bordeaux.

Pearl: Heh~ We can all agree on that, yo.

Diana: It's fun to have them watch as we beat each other senseless.

Pearl: Shut it, shortie!

Diana: You're the short one, you gremlin!

They resume their cartoonish brawl, and this caused Bordeaux to giggle, and it would turn into laughter as she enjoys the show.

Ahato walks over to the counter to grab something, and out of the blue she saw a note left over.

Ahato: What the?..

Juvia notices the note as well

Juvia: What does that note say, Ahato?

This caused Pearl and Diana to stop fighting.

Diana: This should be interesting.

Pearl: Let's hear what it says, yo.

Ahato starts reading the note for us and it says this.

----------
If anyone is reading this note, I'm currently spending Valentine's Day with Marie. I really do want to spend Valentine's Day with you all, but I feel like other people would be jealous of me, especially if we were spending time for today, Marina. That's why I decided to spend my Valentine's Day with Marie. Hope you girls can forgive me for making this choice. And Jaina... would you mind sleeping in Diana's room for tonight? She plans to sleep here for the night.

Signed by,
Azazel Lionheart, Prince of the Darklings
----------

Marina: Well, looks like no one wins but Marie...

Callie: That's Marie alright, knowing when to strike at the right opportunity.

Diana: It does make sense though, as Marie is more in control than the rest of us.

Jaina: Well, I guess I might as well sleep in Diana's room. Hope you don't mind, Diana.

Diana: Eh, I don't mind. After all, we're all best friends.

Jaina: Yeah we are~ *She hugs Diana, to which Diana hugged her back*

Alice: (Please be safe out there, Big Brother...)

(Marie's POV)

We were now in Marie's car as we finished our picnic a while ago, as our next destination is Wahoo World. But first, I wanted to buy Marie something. We went off to the floral shop and I bought her a bouquet of roses for her.

Marie: My, aren't you so thoughtful, Azazel. *She kisses my cheek*

Azazel: Glad you like it, Marie. Ready to head in to Wahoo World?

Marie: You know it, Azazel.

We got back into her car and resumed our drive to Wahoo World. After a bit of driving, we made our way to the parking lot at Wahoo World.

Marie: Ready to have some fun, Azazel?

Azazel: You know it, Marie.

Marie grabs onto my hand and ran into the amusement park, giggling as we go into Wahoo World.

The first thing that we did was go on the bumper cars, and holy crap we had a lot of fun there.

Marie: That was so fun~

Azazel: Glad you enjoyed it, Marie.

Marie: Ooh~ Please get me that, Azazel~ *She pointed to the purple squid plushie that's as big as an Inkling's squid form*

Azazel: Alright, I'll get it for you.

We walked over to the minigame court and the game was to shoot the most amount of ducks with the pellet guns they have. There were other people here who wanted to take their chance at getting their desires prizes. We played the minigame, and I beat all of them. Once I asked the game operator the prize I wanted, he gave me the squid plushie.

Azazel: Here you go, Marie.

She takes the plushie and snuggles with it as she hugs it tightly. I can't help but find it adorable.

Azazel: I'm happy you like it, Marie.

Marie kisses me on my cheek as a thank you.

Azazel: Well, let's see what other fun activities we can do here.

Marie: Right away, Azazel.

We headed over to the haunted house attraction, and Marie was feeling rather uneasy.

Azazel: I'll be right by you, Marie. It's alright.

With that encouragement I gave to Marie, we moved forward deeper into the haunted house attraction. As we ventured deeper into the attraction, we were hearing a lot of creepy ambience. The ambience was made much worse by the low brightness in the attraction. Marie starts to shake from the ambience as she is really getting scared. As we were getting closer to the end of the attraction, it felt like we were all relieved... until a certain wizard appeared to scare the crap out of us.

Merasmus: Boo!

We all ran out of the attraction screaming in terror.

Merasmus: Oh God damnation, Merasmus! I am so, so, sorry!

We had reached the outside of the attraction, and we were still a little jumpy.

Azazel: *Panting* I hate that wizard so much.

Marie: I thought he was trapped in Hell. *She was shaking tremendously*

Azazel: Guess he's freed. *I hug Marie, to which she hugs me back*

Marie: Now that I think more about it... that wizard is not scary, he's just weird.

Azazel: Good thing we're not going back there. Let's try another ride, Marie.

Marie: Yeah, let's do that.

We went over to the rollar coster and before we got on, I took a troia pill as I do get motion sick at times. We got into our seats, with Marie sitting next to me... obviously. I took off my hat and my glasses as I don't want to lose them.

Azazel: Here we go...

We were starting to go up the ride, making our way to the first drop. And once we are reached the first drop, the ride picked up speed and we were moving quite fast.

Marie: Wheeeeee~!!!

Azazel: Oh, shit~!!!

We were going through the ride quite fast, to the point where my troia pill started to wear off and left me quite motion sick. Marie noticed this and had a concerned look on her face.

Marie: Are you okay, Azazel?

Azazel: I feel like I wanna hurl... *I said weakly*

While Marie braced herself for when I would vomit, I waited until we were on solid ground. After the ride was over, I got out of the ride quite wobbly, rushed over to the trash can, and proceed to vomit.

Marie: There now, Azazel... *She patted my back*

Once I had finished vomiting, I cleaned myself up.

Azazel: I'm fine, Marie. For some odd reason, roller coasters are the only thing that give me motion sickness.

Marie: It's alright, Azazel. We all have those moments.

Azazel: Alright, let's head over to the ferris wheel and then we'll call it a day.

Marie: Okay~ *She said in a cheerful voice*

So we head on over to the ferris wheel, and we got into one of the gondolas. The ferris wheel process to move us up off the ground, and it was a nice experience to see Inkopolis from this height.

Azazel: It really is beautiful to view Inkopolis from up here.

Marie: Yeah... the crown jewel for all Inklings and Octolings.

Azazel: This journey that we've all undertaken... I feel like it's changing all of us.

Marie: What makes you say that?

Azazel; Everything from the massacre, to Octavio stealing the Great Zapfish, as well as squidnapping Callie... it's like they're laying down the foundation for something even bigger to come.

Marie: I see...

Azazel: What if we face an even greater threat, and... I lose control of myself? I'm scared that I would hurt you guys if I was driven to madness.

Marie: You won't fall. Azazel... I want to promise you that if you feel like you're losing yourself... I'll be here to bring you back.

Azazel: And I promise you, that I will never leave your side.

We hugged each other, as we shared a deep and passionate kiss in our embrace while we ride on the ferris wheel.

---

(Azazel's POV)

We were now at one of the most luxurious restaurants within Inkopolis as we dine on the finest food they have.

Marie: I've somehow forgot how very well cultured you are, Azazel.

Azazel: I thought that this place would be incredible for the both of us to enjoy, given how beautiful you are.

Marie giggles at the compliment.

Marie: You never fail to show me just how warm you are.

We continued on having our conversation and drinking wine as we eat our food.

Marie: Azazel...

Azazel: Yeah?

Marie: I would like to thank you again for the neckless you gave to me on Squidmas. *She was wearing the neckless I bought for her*

Azazel: I'm happy you like it, Marie.

She gave me a hug to which I hugged her back.

---

We were back at my house to which everyone was upstairs to give me and Marie privacy as we dance to the Moonlight Sonata. [Bare in mind that the track I put here is from Earthworm Jim 2, but this is still Beethoven and it's beautiful.]

Marie: It's so beautiful...

Azazel: Like you, Marie.

We continue to ballroom dance with perfection and elegance as we savor this moment together. And once we had finished dancing, I held her in my embrace we we shared a deep and passionate kiss. I know, this is a common theme for this chapter for me and Marie to share deep and passionate kisses, but go with the flow.

Azazel: How shall we end this lovely night, m'lady?

Marie: Well.... I think I know one way. Follow me.

Azazel: Alrighty.

We make our way to my room and lie down on my bed. She asked me something and I agreed to it, and as a result, we made out.
