"E-eh?! Get outta here… you’re kiddin’ me, right? ‘s not some kinda joke?" Well, that changes everything. She took back what she said about him being a creep. All right, it doesn’t really give him a free pass but it did give her more of an incentive to shut up and play nice.
Or flare up and stutter like a foolish school girl.
"An’ w-w-why would’ja wanna get me somethin’ for— y’know—-Valentine’s, anyway?" His feelings were exceedingly unclear at this point in time, so she couldn’t fault herself for being a little suspicious. Her heart stammered. Who knows, he was capable of breaking her heart as he’s done in the past, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last.
“Don’t you usually get people you care about things on Valentine’s Day..? I mean, I don’t usually… do this just for anyone. Maybe my parents but you’d be the first girl I really did anything for…” Ruby looked away, feeling rather embarrassed he was admitting this. But it was true since there wasn’t a girl that he really had any feelings for before.
Suddenly he held out two Poké Balls, the one in his left hand behind held out for Sapphire to take. Again, this was the cheesiest kind of gift this guy could ever think of but he got it for her anyways.
“You’ll know when you see the Pokémon.” Holding the one he had in his hand, he turned to let the unknown creature. And it was a… Luvdisc, the Rendezvous Pokémon.
