GAVIN
Gavin subtly reached out for your hand. You smiled and intertwined your fingers with his. When you looked up at him, he was blushing a little, which only made your smile grow.
All day, you had been together walking the streets and doing cute romantic things. None of you had said anything about what day it was, but you knew nonetheless. In Gavin’s case, you also thought he had kept it quiet out of embarrassment.
As you thought about this, he suddenly stopped walking. Halting with him and turning to face him, you saw him shoving his hand on his pocket.
“I… got you something” He muttered, fidgeting a bit as he hid his hands behind his back. “It’s not much, but I hope you like it”
“Gavin, that’s so sweet!” Despite the fact that his amber eyes were set on you, the faint red shade in his cheeks made your heart flutter. “But you didn’t have to, I don’t like celebrating Valentine’s Day”
He frowned, staring at you and tilting his head.
“Then what are we doing right now?”
“Looking for an excuse to be together”
He suddenly coughed and cleared his throat, his blush intensifying. Gavin shook his head, discovering what he hid behind his back and offering you a little box.
“You don’t need an excuse to be with me” He told you, sweetly smiling.
You returned the gesture, gently taking the box from him.
“And you don’t need an excuse to give me a present if you really want to, especially not Valentine’s Day”
Gavin paused for a moment, watching you fondly. In the end, he nodded his head and motioned over to the small box in your hands.
“Open it” He reminded you, and you did as he said. The lid opened to reveal a beautiful silver necklace with tiny gingko leaves adorning it. It went along with the bracelet you were already wearing on your wrist.
“Gavin, I love it!” You exclaimed, throwing your arms around his neck and hugging him tight. He chuckled and returned the embrace. However, he froze when you pulled away and kissed him in the cheek.
“Uh…” His fingers shook silghtly as they took the necklace from you. “I’ll put it on”
Gladly, you turned around and gathered your hair to the side, allowing him to rest the trinket on your collarbone and fasten it behind your nape.
You grinned, thinking that maybe you could change your mind about Valentine’s Day if Gavin was always involved in it.
KIRO
You smiled when two hands suddenly covered your eyes, since you had been expecting this moment. It was obvious that he would come looking for you on that oh so especial occasion.
“Guess who?” A cheerful singing voice softly said in your ear.
“Hello, Kiro” You laughed, taking his hands and pulling them away from your eyes. You turned to be face to face with him and his grinning expression.
“Hi, Miss Chips! I got you a little something!” His warning was confirmed when you noticed his hands were now behind his back. An empty bag hung from his arm.
“Nooo, Kiro!” You whined, fed up with the whole world making a big deal out of this day. “Not you too, I hate Valentine’s Day!”
“What?!” He uttered in outrage. “But it’s such a lovely day! Besides, it’s a reason to celebrate how much I love you!”
Unable to be annoyed at him, you smiled a little. Seeing that you had no complaints to his excitement, he grinned as well.
“Does that mean you don’t want this?” Kiro showed you a giant teddy bear that hugged a plushie heart. “I can just return it, you know? If you don’t want it then I-”
“Fine…” Resigned to your fate, you took it from him. Even if the physical object wasn’t as important for you as the thoughtfulness behind it. “But only because you bought it”
Kiro kept smiling, even awing when you took the teddy bear and found yourself hugging it tight against your chest. It was soft and warm. And it smelled like him.
LUCIEN
Lucien had called you to his office, insisting that he wanted to see you. As you arrived at his door and knocked, you hoped it wasn’t because of what you thought. Today was Valentine’s Day, a holiday you disliked. You had asked him not to buy you anything, refusing to make him feel obligated to.
“Come in” His voice called from inside. As soon as you walked in, you saw him standing leaned against the desk, waiting for you.
“Hello! I’m here, what did you want to see me for?” You smiled a little. “I hope it’s not for what I think…”
“Do I truly need a reason for wanting to see you?” Separating the distance between you, he approached to take your hand in his.
You blushed a little when he kissed your knuckles in quite a gentlemanly way.
“So you don’t want to give me anything?” You insisted, hoping the answer was no.
“Actually, there’s this little thing” He shoved a hand in the pocket of his white lab coat. “I wanted you to have it…”
You observed the envelope and carefully took it from him, squinting at it in curiosity to its contents.
“Lucien… I thought we said…”
“Well, I didn’t buy it” He interrupted you. “So technically, I didn’t disobey”
You laughed a bit, opening the letter inside the envelope and reading the first line that said ‘my dearest Y/N’. Before you could carry on reading, his hands covered the letter and gently shoved it against your chest.
“Read it when you’re alone, please” He sweetly smiled. “It may not be the best, but it came from the heart”
“Thank you…” You replied, quite moved by the gesture. “But now I don’t have anything to give back to you”
“You don’t need to, it’s enough with just having you here”
VICTOR
You nodded your head, taking mental note of Victor’s advice. Thinking the brief meeting was done, you turned around. He, however, called you as your hand hovered over the door handle.
“Before you go…” He mumbled, making a pause that was quite long and hesitant, especially for him. “What do you want for Valentine’s Day?”
“What?” You quickly faced him, astonished by the sudden question.
He rolled his eyes as though it bothered him that you made him repeat himself.
“Valentine’s Day, what do you want?”
“Oh, I don’t want anything” You shrugged a little. “I don’t really like the holiday that much”
“Really? I’m surprised” He watched you attentively, smiling a little. “But I did make some pudding, it’s a shame if it were to go to waste”
You gawked at him, observing his every move as he went to retrieve something from under the desk. When he held it in his hands, you saw that it was a small tupperware and inside it was some delicious looking pudding.
“You did that for me?” You asked him, smiling at the endearing gesture.
Victor rolled his eyes once more. As he offered it to you, his entire body language screamed exasperation. But you did notice the way the corners of his lips were struggling not to curve up.
“Do you want it or not?” He insisted, averting his gaze at your staring. “Stop gawking and make up your mind”
“Thank you” You reached out, and your fingers brushed together. Suddenly, you were relieved that he wasn’t looking. “I will eat it”
“Wonderful…” He sarcastically said, feigning disinterest.
“But!” You held one finger up, gathering his attention. “Only if you eat it with me”
Victor stared at you, examining your expression. In the end, he rolled his eyes yet again and obliged.
“Fine…” He went to pick up two spoons from the small hidden box under the desk. “We can afford to take a break, I suppose”
You cheered, grinning from ear to ear as you took the spoon from him. You immediately started eating the pudding, humming in delight at its tastiness. Victor took his time digging in the dessert himself, too busy with admiring how your face radiated with happiness.
