Chapter Text
First: Ringo was no romantic.
He didn’t need flowers or chocolates on Valentine’s Day, cheesy movies on date nights or public declarations of love on anniversaries. He could live without matching outfits on carnival, rose petals on his way to the bedroom and heart shaped greeting cards. In fact, he thought all of these things were pretty embarrassing or just some scam to sell bad romance movies, jewelry and corny love songs. He definitely didn’t need romance in his life.
Second: Ringo loved Easy Winter more than anything else in the world.
Ringo knew Easy liked all this romantic stuff. Not because his boyfriend of two years had ever said anything like that, but Ringo had seen his face whenever one of their friends had done some of these things. Ringo remembered when Jakob had courted Saskia. Easy was always nervous, when the other man had planned one of his big romantic gestures. Ringo had seen Easy’s beautiful brown eyes lit up with joy whenever he made pictures on their friends’ weddings or when the girls talked about all these corny little things their husbands did for them.
And making the man he loved happy was high up on Ringo’s personal priority list, so he would forget about all his reservations towards romantic gestures and sweep his beloved boyfriend off his feet.
Third: Ringo was a planner.
No matter if in the office, as a roommate or as a boyfriend Ringo liked making plans. He appreciated that feeling when a good plan was taking form, when he had total control of what was happening and even more, he loved it, when one of his master plans was working great and he achieved his goal.
