Summary: WAFF. I am such a fluff monger.
Glitch is staring at the little red heart with white trim sitting on the table in the dinning hall. It's not alone. The table is covered in glitter, colored paper, candy hearts with little words printed on them. There is tissue paper decorating the edge of the table. “Um, DG? What is all this?”
“Valentines day is in three days!” DG announces happily. Everyone she has assembled stares at her blankly. “Right, no Valentines day here. Well, it is a holiday where I grew up. You give people cards, traditionally hearts, and candy. You go on romantic dates. Or, if you are like I used to be, you sit around at home most years utterly depressed. A lot of people don't really consider it a holiday. It's been completely commercialized. However, I want it to be in its purest form.
“What I plan is that we make valentines for all our friends, family and you know, that special someone if we happen to have one. Or the person we would like to be our special someone. But if we don't have a special someone it's not a big deal. Just make them for everyone you care about. I went through a lot of trouble to get all this stuff. I have candy, paper, glue, everything we need to make great valentines.”
Glitch is still staring at the little red heart.
~~ ~~ ~~
He's going to make a valentine for Cain. He wants it to be perfect. He wants Cain to love it.
~~ ~~ ~~
He's made about 12 different valentines and decided none of them were good enough for Cain. He decides that instead of throwing them away he'll give them to other people. One of DG, Raw, Jeb, Az, the Queen, Ahamo and anyone else he cant think of. But he doesn't know what he'll give to Cain.
~~ ~~ ~~
It's the day of Valentines and Glitch is staring at a piece of construction paper. It's red. He has a pair of scissors and no idea what he's going to do.
~~ ~~ ~~
Three hours later Glitch has a valentine. He doesn't think it's perfect but if he doesn't give it to Cain he'll have nothing to give him. He takes the red paper heart and slips out of his room to find him.
Cain is sitting on a windowsill in one of the corridors. Glitch almost looses his nerve.
“Happy Valentines day,” He says quickly, shoving the paper heart at Cain and quickly walking away.
Cain looks down at the little heart with a smile smile on his face. He flips it over and on the back, in Glitch's scratchy handwriting is a little note.
I like when you call me Sweetheart. Oh, and I love you.
~~ ~~ ~~
“Hey Sweetheart,” Cain grabs Glitch's hand and spins him around. He went running after him after he read the heart. “You didn't have to go running.”
“Oh. Alright.”
“I made you one too.”
Glitch smiles. First at the image of Wyatt Cain, hard as nails Tin Man, sitting at a table cutting out a little paper heart. Then the implications hit him and his smile widens. “You made me a valentine.”
The faintest blush tints Cain's cheeks. “Yeah I did.” He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a crumbled white paper heart. Glitch snatches it from his hand.
Good morning Sweetheart. Love you.
Glitch lets out a squeal and throws his arms around Cain's shoulders. He kisses his cheek. “I like this holiday.”
