Just in Time for Valentine's Day {The Trickster}

[Quilly]

Quilly wasn’t one for smog covered cities that smelled worse than they looked. She preferred clear skies, fresh air, and large forests. But worked called the Elf to this city of misfits, and work being a small newspaper that wanted to publish one of her short stories. A love story, in fact, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

The visit only ate about four hours of her time—her phone now notifying her that it was 12:00pm. After the long train ride and short meeting with the director of the newspaper company, she found herself feeling a bit hungry.

Though, she didn’t know of any good places to eat around the city—being a country, forest, girl herself. With a growling stomach she began to explore the city. Different scents and aromas filled her nose, but nothing really made her turn on her heel and exclaim, “What is that delectable scent?”

The streets were a bit crowded on this particular day, the date being February 14th, Valentine’s Day. Men and women walked the streets with their dates, heading off to the movies or a planned romantic dinner.

Quilly found herself alone on this dreaded holiday for singles. It was like a giant form of mockery towards those who had no dates or friends to go out with to enjoy the day.

She blinked as she found herself thinking heavily on the subject—especially the fact that she was alone, again, on the holiday of love.

She frowned, muttering to herself, “It’s a stupid holiday anyways.”

Oh hey! It was `Lets remind you of your dead ex` day! So many freaking red roses that it was RIDICULOUS...mostly because red was a color Kali sported the most. Blah, he didn't even want to think about her or her amazing hands...all it did was make him feel angsty. Kinda like how the Winchesters usually were, the angst ridden brotherly duo. Okay...so there were some benefits to the questionable holiday...like a ridiculous amount of sweets all over the place!

That was a HUGE plus, so he'd focus on all the delectable treats there were waiting for him! Plus it meant a bunch of lonely ladies who felt like they were given the butt end of luck talk about easy bow chicka bow-wows! ...eh....but that concept didn't feel all that appealing...not like it normally would. Maybe he'd just wreck Cupid's hard work and snack on something sugary and delicious in the process? Yeah sure..why the hell not!

It would, after all, in the long run test out how strong their bonds were with one another. They'd all thank him later, if he would give them the luxury of such knowledge that this arch angel was wrecking their happy holiday and swindling the goods! Sooo maybe he'd seek out someone who looked about as miserable as himself, see if he didn't have to spend it completely alone. For a moment, he drifted about to see if there was anyone out there who matched such a description.

Casually wandering about while snacking on a Snickers bar to keep his energy up...a strange girl stood out in the crowd. One who had pointy ears? Okay then, that was definitely not average but nothing in his life was! Strolling a bit closer...the frown and mutter he heard seemed to just clinch her fate of embarking on a fun little adventure. Eh...trickstering alone was kinda dull, so having a date would be a fun twist, right?

Especially one who looked like they needed a good laugh. To put his plan in the wheels of motion he looked like he was lost in his thoughts for a moment before softly bumping right into her before seeming as though he was surprised upon the minor impact. "Woah, sorry about that! I probably should have been paying more attention, eh?" Adding a playful little chuckle to that one before throwing in a quirky little compliment, "By the way! Nice ears, they're pretty cute."

[Quilly]

Quilly hadn't been paying attention herself as the Arch Angel bumped into her. It wasn't rough, of course, in fact, she barely even realized anyone had hit her until the male said something. She blinked as she looked up at the slightly taller male, her frown lessening upon hearing his chuckle and seeing the face that owned it.

"It's not a problem re--," she felt herself freeze as he pointed out her ears.

She tried so hard to hide their points as well as their length from Human eyes as best she could. She didn't want to start a panic, or worse, end up under the knife of a FBI surgeon trying to see if she were an alien or something. Her mind raced with possible responses, half of them were just jumbled up words that made no sense at all.

"T-Thanks, t-they're for a friend's make up project," she blurted out, "ah--special effects make up stuff."

Half of her mentally face palmed as the other let out a silent "phew" of relief that she didn't take too long to reply.

She hoped that it would sound practical enough for a girl to be wearing Elf ears out in public.

That and it didn't help that she sounded a bit nervous--which was half true. Perhaps it was from the near-panic over her ears, or the fact that she was trying to swallow her shyness--due to the fact that she did find the male rather attractive...and damn did he have a cute laugh.
