Valentine's day

South was walking in circles in his room, wondering what to do. It was Valentine's day, February 14th. Every year he would sit in his room with Norn and watch movies on this day.
But not this year.
How would he do it? Just walk straight to the door and ask? Wait until dinner and see if she came to the mess hall?.
In the end, after a lot of pondering and walking, he chose to go with it as it went. He put on some half-nice clothes - proper jeans, a white t-shirt and a simple green zip-up hoodie - and went out in the corridor, attempting to avoid all the other freelancers. He was so deep in thought that he walked right past the door, before stopping ten minutes later, wondering why he wasn't there. He backtracked until he was at the door, where he froze for a few minutes, suddenly unsure. "Come on, South. Just do it." he thought, attempting to pick up the courage to do it.
He raised his hand and knocked once, twice.
No answer.
He knocked again, two times. Still nothing.
Slowly he opened the door, saying "Hey, Me-"
CLANG!
"Ow! For i Helvete!" He had gotten a pan in his forehead, and now there was a white cat stuck to his body in a very painful place. He managed to grab the cat without harming it too much, and subsequently threw it into the bed in the room.
"Wait, Mex!" He said, before getting the pan in his face again. He managed to grab it before it hit a third time, but it was a close one. Holding his now very painful forehead, he tried to explain himself.
"I-I was going to as you if you wanted to do something.... I know how bad it feels to be alone on Valentine's day...." Waiting for an answer, he kept a close eye on the pan to make sure she wouldn't hit him with it again.
Her cheeks slowly turned red, and she seemed unable to speak, her mouth opening and closing.
"I mean, if you don't want to, you don't have to, I just thought it might be nice to go out a bit...." he stammered out, getting ready to leave.
"Yes."
South turned around again, surprised by the answer. He hadn't really expected one, and the fact that she said yes made him feel warm inside. He saw her put away the pan, before finding a pair of shoes and a jacket. He was a bit... Surprised, to call it that, over her ability to find her things so fast. He hadn't really known any blind people, so he hadn't known what to expect when it came to that point.
"So, do you have anything special you want to do? I thought we might go to the little cafe nearby and take something to eat or drink, or maybe just walk for a bit..."
He was nervous, he admitted that. He had never had a girlfriend before. Ever. Not even anything close, he'd always kept to himself before.
"A walk, I think."
South nodded, smiling, before realizing she couldn't see him, whereupon he said "A walk it is, then." He didn't know whether to take her hand or not, a matter which she solved by putting hers into her pockets. They walked outside in silence, into the darkening little park-forest area outside the HQ. A bit of small talk went between them, before South suddenly stopped. Apparently having heard it, New Mexico also stopped, before turning to "look" at about the place where he was standing.
"South? What is it?" she asked, her voice ever so slightly concerned.
"It's just that.... Forget it." he said, shaking his head on the last two words. He didn't want to ruin the evening. Not when she'd actually said yes. He walked on, and slowly, she followed with.
*********
When he woke up the next morning, the first thing to fall into his mind was the evening before. He could hear Norn snoring, and slowly fell asleep again, dreaming happy dreams for once.
