to be frank , aspen could give a rat's ass about what kind of flowers he received - it was the idea that anyone would ever get him flowers that filled their chest with a tightening love . but . . . they are very beautiful . chess is speaking , and he is listening , but his eyes have remained on the flowers as they lean in to gently sniff at them ( pink , yellow , red carnations and baby's breath to decorate with stems of leaves to fill in the spaces ) . and then the cinnamon rolls reach his nostrils and he melts instantly . a warm wave of comfort washes over their body and any tension that once took its home in his bones was evicted . cinnamon rolls reminded him over such a simpler time - to memories of waking up a bit earlier in the morning to have time to make cinnamon rolls with his mother before having to leave for school . aspen takes both items in his hands , practically burying his noise amongst the flowers and looking up at chess through his lashes .

❝ i don't know , ❞ he responds with a nervous laugh , ❝ i was hoping you had a plan . i don't really , um , know what you're supposed to do on valentines day . . . ❞ reality to it all was that there was no one way to celebrate valentines , rather it was simply the act of just being with your partner that mattered ; and all aspen ever wanted was to be beside chess . aspen rubs at the back of their neck awkwardly as they step inside the home leaving the door open for chess to step inside , and he takes his new gifts into the kitchen where he gets to work placing the flowers in a glass vase . ❝ but i'm sure miss nancy next door won't mind staying with mama for the day . ❞

valentine’s day. the holiday of love. it’s no surprise that it’s chess’ favorite holiday, seeing all the love pouring into the cafe, around the city on the sidewalks and in the other shoppes, watching the excited people finding treats for their loved ones. he would always stop by miss flora’s shoppe and but her some of her own flowers, then take up his shift making heart shaped goods at the cafe, carefully make a heart in someones latte— except this year, instead if working, lassie let him have the day off. he wakes up early to make mini cinnamon rolls with pecans on top, two bags worth so he can give one to miss flora in exchange for a double order of flowers: one for her, one for his valentine.

he bounces on his feet outside of their door, knocking in a pattern he knows will be familiar, and can’t hold back his excited smile. once the door opens, his smile brightens, and the flowers once behind his back are thrust out to his front alongside the bag in his other hand. he giggles at aspen, shakes his head. “it’s alright! and it doesn’t matter. happy valentine’s day, love.” he leans down to give him a quick peck on the cheek, still bouncing on his toes. “would you rather stay in today or go out? i wanna do everything you wanna do.” he peers down at aspen with a love that fills his chest with such intensity he almost can’t bear it. “i hope i got the flowers right. these are the ones you like, right? and i hope the ‘mon rolls are good. i rushed a little.”

@wiredsmile : 💕 ( ❛ will you be my valentine ?? ❜ )

wasn't he supposed to be the one asking ?? did this make him a bad partner for not asking first ; valentines day was just another day to him . aspen's eyes go big and round and he can feel the tips of his ears go red hot like fire crackers when suzie mentioned valentine . just breathe , aspen , it's not the end of the world oh , yes it is . ❝ u-uh . . . su- sure , suzie . i would love . . . i would love to be your valentine . ❞ it didn't sound convincing , but it wasn't like this was an annual thing that happened to him - he wasn't sure how to go about handling it . does this mean they go on a date ?? he doesn't even know . ❝ am . . . am i meant to get flowers , i'm sorry that i forgot . ❞

@foolsmiles : 💕 & he brings them flowers and whatever his favorite pastry is <3

valentines day . a holiday that he never particularly had a care for , and if he had a " valentine " it was his darling mother . so when he opens his front door and sees the shining form of their partner and sees a bouquet of flowers and a paper baggy of mini cinnamon rolls with pecans sprinkled on top he's taken aback and left quite literally speechless . their jaw hangs open in quiet awe and their stubbly cheeks are now a rosy shade of pink , about the same shade as the roses that stand out the most in the bouquet . he holds his hands out to take the gifts into his hands and they smile shyly , avoiding contact with chess in case they ended up flubbing their words at all . ❝ but . . . i didn't get anything for . . . for you - how much did these flowers cost , chess ?? ❞
