Elliot doesn’t care that much about Valentine’s Day.
To him Valentine’s Day is just one more occasion to make an already very rich conglomerate richer.
You don’t care much about Valentine’s Day either and that’s one of Elliot’s favorite things about you.
You know that our society is fucked up and that all the heart-shaped cards in the world won’t change anything.
You’ve spent the entire week sending each other pics of the most ridiculous, cheesy and cringe cards you could find when going to the store or walking Flipper.
He won with that one:
While your colleagues were boasting about their plans for the night, you couldn’t help but smile at the thought of the night you were going to spend with Elliot and Flipper in his flat watching a good movie.
On your way home, you stopped to rent the least romantic movie you could find.
Once at Elliot’s place you decided to take a warm shower knowing that Elliot wouldn’t be back from his walk with Flipper for another hour.
Getting out of the shower, you noticed Elliot’s scent floating in the small, yet so cozy, flat.
He was typing on his keyboard as focused as always, but he held a slight smirk on his lips.
That’s when you noticed it.
A bouquet of black roses.
You can’t tell what pleased you the most: the roses or the note that came with it:
At that moment, even all your anti wild-capitalism values weren’t enough to hold back the smile creeping up your face.
And as you opened your mouth to thank him you heard:
“Don’t.”
The next 30 minutes basically consisted in agreeing on the pizza you were going to order.
The two of you spent the rest of the evening on his couch. His hand playing with your hair as you watched the movie you had rented.
“Elliot, thank y…”Â
You whispered half-way through the movie but before you could finish your sentence he captured your lips within a soft and warm kiss.
“We’re not going to talk about it, are we?”
“Nope.”
Josh and Valentine’s Day is a whole mess.
He has a big crush on you.
So he has no doubt about who he wants as his valentine.
But that was until Chris explained to him how lame you found Valentine’s Day.
From that moment he started acting as if he found it as lame as you did.
“Come on guys, is there any holiday more commercial than Valentine’s Day?”
That’s the kind of thing he started to come up with whenever you were around.
But once you were not, he spent most of the “climbing class” exhausting Chris with questions.
“Do you think Y/N prefers pink or red?”
“How the hell am I supposed to climb that rope, hasn’t he heard about a little something called gravity?”
“Cochise, focus. We’re talking about something important here.”
Choosing a Valentine’s Day card for you took him an entire week.
He spent most of his lunches asking the band’s opinion on this or that card.
Hiding them in his backpack as soon as he saw you enter the lunch room.
“Y/N! I heard Mike gave you a valentine, I didn’t know the two of you were a thing.”
His face crumbled at Ashley’s words, as he held tight the backpack containing the cards.
“We’re not. He didn’t sign it, so I put it in another girl’s locker.” You said while sitting next to Josh.
“Who?”
“That girl from my history class, she spent the last class telling me that nobody would ever sent her a card. I hope I brightened her day a little by doing that.”
His smile getting so wide as you spoke.
He asked you if he could walk you home after class and you accepted.
Once in front of your house, his heart was pounding in his chest.
He was stressed and avoided your gaze.
For a minute he looked like Chris in front of Ashley.
“Hum… Y/N… I know you’re not in fond of this kind of things but… I got you this.”
The words on the card ironically contrasted with his shy behavior.
“Sorry… It’s lame… I shouldn’t have…” He stuttered running his hand through his hair in frustration.
“Josh…”
You found it beautiful, pretty but not too cheesy.
That was just so… Josh.
“F-Forget it… I don’t know why I…” Josh started only to be interrupted by your lips on his…
