Oh God, you had to hear it from Tony.

I am truly, deeply sorry.

The person who decided virginity should be code named "V-Card" is a moron.

Whoever it was, it was probably so they could talk about it openly without their parents catching on. Hell, maybe so people would make the same Valentine's Day card connection and think nothing of it.

Instead of, y'know, keeping that stuff to themselves around people who don't need to hear about it.

So I have effectively just written where everyone can see that for Valentines Day I want to have sex with you.

[More inkblots. They are inescapable and eternal.]

Well... then they would've also seen this conversation and the fact that you thought you were talking about Valentine's Day cards instead of that.

If anyone gives you grief over it, I'll knock some sense into them.

Kind of you to offer but that won't be necessary. I don't, in general, care at all when other people think.

Besides which, I can fight my own battles.

I know. But I personally think it's also nice to know that someone's got your back, regardless.

Anyway, where do you want to meet up to exchange Valentine's-not-the-other-thing V-cards?

I suppose you're right.

Anywhere is fine. It's chilly outside but we can bundle up and find ways to keep warm.

If what we got up to in the Great Hall is anything to go by, maybe a little brisk weather would do us good. Keep things from getting too... well. Keep things in perspective anyway.

How about the courtyard?

The courtyard would be fine.

What do you mean by "in perspective"?

Well, you know, to keep things from heating up too fast... from getting caught up in a moment.

There's plenty of time to figure out what to do about other V-Cards, after all.

Are you the sort who imagines special planning and everything being perfect when it happens?

There's nothing wrong with wanting something to be nice and memorable.

Perhaps. I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Actually, I have a question for you, John. Would you prefer me to ask you now or wait until we convene in the court yard?

Oh, uh, either way, I suppose. I guess it comes down to if you want to ask it sooner rather than later.

It sounds like an utterly ridiculous question so I suppose now is fine. This isn't meant as some feminine ploy to fish for compliments or anything flowery of any sort. It's for purely scientific purposes.

How long have you ~~felt you've loved~~ believed yourself to have affections for me above friendship? Not simply "a while now" or anything vague but specific examples or a concrete amount of time.

Well... it might be kind of an odd answer, but right around the time the snake hatched. I'd been really confused about my feelings for a while before that, but then all at once it made sense.

I thought as much.

~~John, I~~ ~~This isn't real~~

The day the eggs hatched, a lot of people mysteriously gained an attraction to other people. Even people who couldn't stand each other before were suddenly lost in feelings of love. John, I ~~don't believe in coincidence~~ think that's rather... convenient. Do you agree?

That is rather odd. But it could still be something else than what you might be thinking. Right? After all, it's not like we couldn't stand each other before. We were really good friends, and that's not even getting into the confusing stuff I mentioned.

When did you realize you had more-than-friends feelings for me? Same rules about being specific.

I don't know when I realized. It was never a conscious thought. You've just always been John. It never changed, it just... became everything I already considered 'John' and then more. It's like asking at what point a funnel gets bigger: it's in a state of constant progression. But when the egg hatched is the first time I've ever felt what I would call passion for another human being.

I think I understand what you're saying. Minus the bit about passion; I've felt that before.

What you're saying sounds kind of similar to how I felt. All the confusion and uncertainty and so on just kind of fell away all at once. Like it kind of hit me all at once how amazing you are, and that all the stuff that held me back just didn't matter and I was stupid for giving it so much thought.

But you really think it could all be related to these sudden cases of people who hate each other suddenly feeling quite the opposite?

I think the timeline is too coincidental to ignore.

And we have to entertain the possibility that nothing that has happened has been real in that sense.

It doesn't feel fake to me.

Is there a way to figure it out for sure?

There are antidotes to love potions if that is the culprit.

Alternatively, we could just... wait. If it's a potion, it will wear off eventually on its own. And if it is a potion, then it still remains to be seen if I'm capable of this feeling without aid of enhancements at all. I don't want to lose this feeling, John, but I don't want to placate myself with fantasy either.

That's a tough call, Sherlock. I know if you started brewing up an antidote it'd be like solving a mystery for you, but... I do like this. Us.

If it is a potion, how much longer do you think it would last?
