5 times Tom got paid to give Harry a valentine's poem and 1 time he wasn't

Summary:

Exactly what the title says

Notes:

For our wonderful Froggie
Happy vday!

Prompt: either harry/tom is enlisted to be one of those anonymous valentines carolers (where you get paid to sing valentines to people on v-day).

(Flaky I swear this is actually 250 words the numbers and stuff just mess the wordcount up I SWEAR)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

1

Have I ever told you, Harry

That it's you I wish to marry

But for now I will be fine

With you as my valentine 

 

"What?"

"You heard me. Don't make me repeat myself."

"Ok then why?"

"Not everyone has rich parents to inherit from."

"So the best way to earn money is by delivering ridiculous valentine's poems? Aren't you top of your class? Is there nothing better you can do?"

"Shut up."

 


 

2

From the first day I laid my eyes on you 

I knew what I felt for you was true

This swooping sensation 

The sheer elation 

Please tell me that you feel it too

 

"I will ignore this is happening. People are really paying you to do this?"

"Yeah let's just forget this ever happened."

 


 

3

Right when I wake up I wonder

Is it me who you think of

Do you just like me pine

Do your eyes then catch mine

Lighting up and full of love

Every beat our hearts like thunder

 

"Kind of hard to forget if it keeps happening."

"It's not my fault people keep telling me to do this"

 


 

4

Nothing can express

My undying love for you

Except I myself 

 

"That doesn't even make sense?"

 


 

5

Roses are red

Violets are blue

If I don't want to end up very dead

I'll finally tell you that I love you 

 

"Is this...a threat? Are you being forced into confessing?? Who is it?"

 


 

+1

I love you 

"That's not a poem."

"Well, I wasn't paid this time."

"Oh."

Notes:

I headcanon that Harry and Tom's friends are so annoyed with them dancing around each other that they pay Tom to confess in increasingly obvious ways.
(Harry still doesn't get it because he's an idiot <3)
