Work Text:
Valentines day. A day you loved to spend with your boys. You were excited the entire day, just waiting to get home and see what Marc had in for a surprise. Maybe he bought you your favorite flowers, or a pet, maybe even a ring. You giggled to yourself at the thought. Meanwhile your coworker, Natalie, looked over at you with a confused look.
“What's got you so excited? You and your boyfriend got something planned?” She asked
“Yep.” You said with a happy tone.
“Ohh what's the plan? If it's sex talk, I don't wanna hear about it.” She said, putting her hands up which made you laugh.
“I'm not sure.” you say
“You’re.. You're not sure?”
“Nope. I'm letting Marc plan it all.” This made your coworker raise a brow.
“Are you sure he has that covered?”
“Yea. Marc never forgets holidays like this. I'm sure when I get home, there will be rose petals, flowers, and balloons~” You started going on and on about what you believed was going to happen.
Natalie chuckled. “Wow, that sounds nice. At that point he might as well propose.”
You sighed. “It would be amazing. I love him so much.” You whispered.
“Man, he has got you wrapped around his finger.”
“And I’ll happily stay there.” You say.
After a couple of hours, your shift finally ended and you clocked out for the day and started to come home. When you did, you peaked into the apartment to find it in the same state you left it in this morning. You were a bit confused as you entered the apartment. “Marc! I'm home.” you shouted and then smiled when Marc came over.
“Hey baby.” he greeted you with a smile, wrapped an arm around your waist then kissed you on the lips for a moment before pulling away. “How was work?” He says going to the kitchen.
You hummed at the kiss and smiled softly. “Work went well.” You say, looking around the apartment for a second, trying to see if there were any valentines decor. “Soooo.” You said softly. “Any plans for tonight?” You asked.
“Not really.” Marc replied. “Wanna do McDonalds for dinner tonight?”
Instantly, you frowned a little. “McDonalds?” you questioned
“Yea. Unless you want something else.” He asked
Did he forget it was valentines day? He couldn’t have.. “You..really want McDonalds?”
“Kinda. Stevens is craving the fries.” He says
Even Steven forgot? You forced a little smile and nodded. “Yea, sure. McDonalds is fine.” You say. Marc nodded with a smile and grabbed the keys to the car and soon you two were off. Marc drove with his hand on your thigh, rubbing it gently. You couldn’t believe the boys forgot. Even Steven. Even if it was something small, you would’ve appreciated it, but yet not even a little card with a cheesy quote that Steven would probably laugh at. It was hard to hide that you were upset as Marc glanced over and pats your thigh.
“Hey, you alright? Who stole my sunshine away?” He asked then turned a corner.
“Nothing, I just um, forgot to do something at work so, now I’m a little scared my boss is going to get up my ass about it.” You lied
“Want Jake to handle him?”
“Nono, it's fine.” you insisted. Marc gave you a look, the nodded.
“If you say so.” he says then after another 10 minutes of driving, Marc parked on the side of the road. You looked around a little confused. This wasn't the clown's fast food joint.
“This isn’t McDonalds.” You say then looked at Marc who had a smirk on his face. You furrowed your brows and narrowed your eyes. “...What?” You ask him. What was making him smirk like that.
“You really think I forgot it was valentines day?” He asks, reaching into the back seat of the car and pulling out a bouquet of flowers that had carnations, lilies, and roses. You perked up and hit his arm.
“You dick!” You say which made him rub his arm and laugh.
“What? Would you rather me forget?” he asked with a smile.
“This is not the type of surprise I like.” You said with a huff. “Really had me worried you forgot.” but finally you gave in and started to smile and take the flowers.
Marc chuckled. “Blame Jake. It was all his idea. He says we do the same thing every year so it was time to spice it up.” He explained then glanced at the rearview mirror. You could tell one of the alters was talking to him. “Oh yea, flowers were my idea.” He says with a little grin. You studied his face.
“No it wasn't.” You said
He smiled. “You're right it was Stevens.”
You smiled and shook your head. “So what part of this plan was your idea?” You asked, which Marc pointed over at the most popular and expensive restaurant around, fully packed.
“Got us a spot. Come on sunshine.” He says getting out of the car and then opening your door and helping you out, leading you by the hand. You happily followed him then sat at a table. The restaurant was beautiful even if it was a little crowded. You two chatted together and while deciding what you wanted to eat then eventually ordered some food and a bottle of wine.
“You look lovely tonight.” Marc says. He always showed how much he loved you. Whether it was through words, holding and kissing you, almost anything. He wanted to make sure you felt his love and made you feel like the luckiest person in the world and the most adored. And if anyone ever tried to make you feel indifferent, he would do nothing but stay by your side and reassure you that you are loved, because you deserve it. You deserved love.
You chuckled. “I'm in my work clothes still.”
“Still looks lovely to me.” He said with a wink and then for a moment his eyes rolled to the back of his head as an alter took over. You studied his face a little and smiled softly when you heard the British accent. “Marcs right. You’ll always look stunning to us.” Steven says
“Thank you.” You said with a chuckle. “And hi Steven.”
“Hi love.” he said, with such a loving smile on his face. He always loved to look at you and admire you. He would always get upset whenever you left his arms or had to leave him for a few hours. All he wanted to do was cherish you like a rare desert flower. He wanted to do nothing but hold you close while whispering sweet nothings into your ear and caressing your side which almost always gave you goosebumps, but it was worth it just to be with him.
You and Steven chatted for a while, each alter getting some time with you while on this date. “Did you like the flowers?” he asked to which you chuckled.
“Yes, I loved them. You always pick such pretty ones.” you say
He smiled at it. “Did you know that Roses symbolize romance?”
You smiled and raised a brow. “Pretty sure that's why they are popular around valentines day.” you say
Steven perked up. “Oh, right. Well, what about carnations?” he questions you to which you thought for a moment but shrugged, wanting to know what they symbolized. “Carnations symbolize love and captivation.” he said, looking at you with those soft eyes. “And you are pretty captivating.” You couldn't help but blush a bit and hide your face in your hand slightly at Stevens' quick flirtatious line. This made him chuckle. “Aw, now don't hide your face, love.” he said sweetly and reached across the table and gently held your hand.
You couldn't help but smile so lovingly at him. When the food arrived, Jake fronted and looked at you with a soft gaze. He may have been the toughest of the three but he had a soft spot for those he loved most, and you were one of them. As soon as you were in his line of sight he would do nothing but go and hold you and love you, even if he had something to do and you were at work. He didn’t care about his tough guy image. You’re what made him stronger anyways by telling him it’s okay to not always be tough and that there was no shame in crying once in a while. You had to convince him he could be loved, just as much as Marc and Steven were. He originally didn’t care for you when the boys brought you around, but even after you finally learned about Moonknight and Khonshu, everything they had gone through, you still loved all three of them. Jake admired you so much for that and vowed to do the same for you.
“You look stunning, mi amor.” He said softly.
“As do you, handsome. How is your night?” You asked.
“Wonderful, now that the love of my life is here in front of me.” He says
You chuckled. “You three are such a sap.”
“Can you blame us, mi hermosa? Te queremos tanto.” He said. (My beautiful | We love you so much)
“I love you too.” You said softly.
Soon enough, you both ate your dinner and finished some wine then finally left and went home. Once home, you got dressed for bed, as well as Jake. You and the boys always listened to music while getting ready for bed just to wind down to. Sometimes it was upbeat, other times it was nice and slow. This night was a nice and slow night as Jake played a random playlist. Once you were both changed for bed you were about to climb in until Jake pulled you away from the bed and held you by your waist. You couldn't help but giggle. “What are you doing?” You questioned.
“Loving you.” He says softly as he held you close and slowly started to sway back and forth, doing a small slow dance with you as Unforgettable by Nat King Cole played on his phone.
The smile you had on your face couldn't be wiped away as you just rested your head and his chest and relaxed, listening to his steady heart beat. At some point he gently put a finger under your chin and guided you to look at him then kissed you gently on the lips. You easily gave into the kiss, leaning into it while your arms hung around his shoulder and one of his hands came to your cheek and gently caressed it. When you both pulled away from each other, you both had a soft gaze. “Feliz día de San Valentín, mi amor.” He whispered. (Happy valentines day, my love)
You smiled gently. “Happy valentines day. To each and every one of you. The best boyfriends I could ever ask for.” you whispered back.
Marc fronted and didnt stop holding you. He smiled softly at you and gave you another kiss just like from earlier then slowly parted. You both have so much love written eachothers faces. “Can I ask you something?” He asked softly to which you nodded, wondering what he was going to ask. You didn’t even realize he had a hand behind his back. Once given permission, he knelt down and put out a little ring box. You were speechless whilst he opened it to reveal a gold banded ring with little diamonds as leaves, and a slightly larger diamond in the middle to act as the flower. He never stopped smiling. “Will you marry us?” he asked.
You instantly nodded and covered your mouth as you started to tear up, meanwhile he put the ring on you. As soon as he stood back up, you hugged him tightly and he hugged back tighter, gently swinging you around which made you both chuckle. You gave each other one final kiss then finally got into bed, this time Steven fronting. He held you close, rubbed your back gently and kissed the stop of your head while you rested your head on his chest. “Sweet dreams love..I hope you sleep well. We love you” he whispered.
You smiled to yourself. “I love you too.” You whispered back then slowly yet surely fell asleep, being the happiest person in the world that night.
