Spy's POV
"You paint?" I was happily shocked. 

"Yeah, it's kind of what I wanted to do, before I got into mercenary work that is. Kind of a far-fetched dream but..." She was blushing. 

"I don think it is. I paint as well." 

"You do?" 

"Oui. The fruitbowl in my smoking room?" 

"You painted that? Amazing." 

"Merci. May I see one of yours?" She blushed deeper. 

"S-sure..." She turned away for a moment, bending over to retrieve something from under 'er bed. As she did so, my eyes strayed to her....

I snapped out of my daze, and she got up, a canvas in her hands. "Is that?" 

"The Eiffel Tower." I was amazed, it was so lifelike, as if I could reach out and touch it. 

"C'est magnifique." 

Her face turned crimson. "Th-thanks. It's....actually for you..." I look at her, eyes wide. 

"For me?" 

"Yeah, um," she sat the painting down on her bed. "You're always so kind to me, and I wanted to thank you. I know you haven't been home in a long time, so..."

A slow smile found its way onto my face. "Merci...it's beautiful." She exhaled. 

"Whew! I was afraid you wouldn't like it." 

"Non. I love it," I was starting to tear up. "Truly (y/n), thank you." 

Now's your chance! Tell her how you feel! 

"(Y/n), I-" There was a knock on her door. 

"Yo (y/n)! Oven dinged!" 

"Oh! I'd completely forgotten about the cupcakes!" I was disappointed, yet also a bit relieved. "

Well, you'd better get to them before Soldier does." 

"I thought you wanted to say something?" I opened my mouth to speak, when an idea popped into my head.

"Oui. Can you meet me outside tonight? At, say, eight?" 

"S-sure." 

"Until tonight then." I took 'er hand, and kissed it, like I have many times before. I turned to leave, when (y/n) stopped me. 

"Wait, Spy! You forgot the painting..." 

Imbicile! "Merci." With that, I walked out, hurrying to my room. I looked at the clock: three pm. I had five hours to get everything ready.

Tonight was the night. Tonight I would tell her.

Tonight, she would be mine.
