Happy Valentines Day
Nico pulled the pan away from the fire just as the doorbell rang. His brow furrowed as he looked over at the clock, picking up the spoon to stir the sauce. The only person he was expecting was his sister and she always let herself in, never rang the bell. âComing!â It wasnât locked but he thought better than to tell someone to let themselves in. Queens wasnât the seventh circle, but it wasnât San Diego either, and seeing that he didnât know all that many people meant this could get weird fast. Removing the sauce from the heat, he wiped his hands on a towel and headed for the door just as they rang the bell again. He wasnât ready for what was on the other side.
âBe mine, now and forever. Be mine, you are my treasure. Be mine, please tell me it's true. Be mine, I love you!â The man dancing and singing on his front porch had to be over six feet tall, but that wasnât even what made this singing telegram so shocking. Easily over two hundred pounds, this man was dressed in little more than a diaper and a sash. Easily, the largest cupid that Nico had ever laid eyes on. As the shock wore off, he had to admit that he was impressed. The man was practically solid muscle and the moves he was busting out made Nico wonder if he would even be able to do the same. âMan, whatever they are paying you, itâs not enough.â There was no judgement in his tone, in fact he even sounded impressed. Clearly a good natured man, Cupid smiled from ear to ear as he held out what looked like a gift basket full of candy hearts.
Nico was still a little tongue tied over the whole display as Cupid turned to leave. It was only then that he noticed his sister leaned against her car on the street. The way she was laughing into her hand made it obvious that she was the one behind the whole singing telegram which made it that much more special. He was just about to head out to greet her when he stopped dead in his tracks, the smitten look on his sisterâs face telling him more than anything else could have. This wasnât just some guy that was hired to come sing and give him candy, this was someone she knew that was willing to do this favor for her. He was going to have to ask a few more questions about this.
