To set the tone for the new year...
Who: maple_syrup_can, orangemineral
What: Kissing Jasmine into the New Year I mean, a nice date. For New Years.
When: Forward-dated December 31
Where: One of the parks on the Thor
Warnings: Cavity-inducing cute
Because of their friends, this evening had gone beautifully. Canada had worn the clothes given to him by France, and even managed to fanagle the pocket watch from Holmes onto the vest. Jasmine had worn a new dress from Rhyme (whom he hadn't met yet, but he'd have to remember to thank her), and Canada was pleased to see her wearing her hair down with what must be a new hair accessory.
Chiyo had generously (and brilliantly) gifted them with dinner at a fine restaurant, and everything had been just perfect.
Now Canada and Jasmine were slowly wandering one of the parks on the Thor, exchanging some simple conversation, waiting for the countdown to midnight (with some measure of nervousness on Canada's part). Checking his pocket watch he quietly mentioned, "It's about ten more minutes yet."
He then reached down to his side to clasp Jasmine's hand in his. As he did so he could feel the ring that she was wearing. He'd noticed it almost right away - she didn't wear much jewellery after all - but he'd been too nervous to ask who'd given it to her. However the not-knowing was troubling him, so with a nervous glance up and down the quiet pathway he started,
"I'm sorry, but... you don't have to say if you don't want but- may I ask who gave you the ring?" Ahh- was that too blunt?
