c.a. cupid daughter of eros

Calling a radio station for love advice wasn’t just a random whim. Blossom had carefully planned what she was going to say long before actually gathering the nerve to dial in. Of course she had: there was no other mode she operated in than meticulously prepared. She even had an alias to introduce herself with, despite the fact that Cupid’s show automatically applied a voice changing filter for guests—hers wasn’t that common of a name to feel comfortable stating it on air along with the other details she would need to provide in order to receive advice on her situation. She knew some of her friends and family listened to this show at least occasionally, and couldn’t risk any of them knowing it was her if they were tuned in today. The whole reason she was anonymously seeking guidance from a love expert was because she didn’t want the people in her real life to know her situation until she figured it out herself (or at least, with the help of Cupid…)

Once the song came to an end, Cupid pressed another button, connecting herself to her next caller. “Hey! You’re On the Air with C.A. Cupid!  What love advice are you looking for, dear caller?” She recited one of her usual tagline's, leaning back against her chair as she allowed the caller to speak. The caller, Bella, proceeded to explain how she has feelings for a friend of her’s—the hostess nodded her head, a common occurrence among her callers—but then how this friend, Hugo, asked her out years ago and Bella had turned him down at the time. Intrigued, Cupid’s brows raised, but she kept silent until Bella was completely finished. After Bella expressed being afraid of Hugo being over her now and how she doesn’t know how to breach the fact that she has feelings for him, the hostess shook her head to herself. “A little bit of awkwardness won’t ruin a close friendship.” She began, breaking the silence from her end. “If he stayed as your friend after you rejected him years ago, that just tells me he values having you in his life regardless if you want to be romantically involved with him or not. So why not take the risk and confess? You won’t know how he truly feels until you do. And who knows— he could have feelings for you that has only grown stronger throughout the years, but he hasn’t tried to confess again because he’s scared to make things awkward again himself. I mean, even if you hadn’t developed feelings for him, would you stop being friends with Hugo if he were to try confessing again?”
