Kanade makes me explode so hard every time I think abt her like fuck man they rly did give just enough context to be able to recognise how her childhood shaped the person she is now without saying it directly to your face and I just have to live with that as they proceed to keep Kanade as having the least banners in the game going 3 over when she was due at this point and spitting on my face because they HATE me </3

THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN STEEL BALL RUN WITHOUT CONTEXT

The President of the United States wants the corpse of Jesus Christ

A Native American enters a horserace across the country on foot. He wins the first stretch

Man in his 50s marries teenager (Trust me, this is the preferable option here)

Scratch fleas off your horse to attack your opponent with dinosaurs

The president's wife is very bisexual

One character is basically a walking joke about a J-Pop song. The battle itself is a game of Battleship.

Jesus tells the main character to shoot himself (it works)

Lucy Steel and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day

Balloon animals are scary

A horse drawing on the wall will heal your wounds

You can kill the President as many times as you want, but you have to get kicked by a horse if you want it to stick

What do smoke, water, and bees all have in common? They're all bombs

A crossdressing nun will heal you with a flesh spray can

Curse of Be Stuck In Philadelphia Forever

Georgia Man wins thanks to the special ability of some dude on his shoulder cheering him on

Bug bite fetishes are discussed

There are three Italians and two of them are great with their balls

Wekapipo's ability is to take away everything that's left

The climax simultaneously takes place in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and in the Atlantic Ocean

A British jockey is killed because a girl gives him head.

President's escape plan includes getting run over by a train

Risking the penalties of copyright is a filthy act that costs an unreasonable price

In a world where walking in the desert can give you superpowers, one guy who walked in the desert came back from the dead and can keep bugs in his body for completely unrelated reasons

The character with the least heterosexual cowboy hat ever seen has the ability to make kinky sex INCREDIBLY interesting

Sometimes a family is just 11 people who look exactly the same all coming to kill you

One character died because it stopped raining

The president's name is Funny Valentine

One of the bad guys was a Confederate soldier who was so bad at his job, he could be considered a notable contribution to the Union's victory.

Three people shoot the protagonist at the same time. Kind of. I mean, hold on, let me just-

One of the characters who helped kick off the events of the story in the previous universe is reincarnated as a fortune teller whose only contribution is to tell someone that he's really lucky.

OMGG hiii!!! can i get for the alphabet event lighter with J, K, L and V(๑•́ω•̀๑) if it's too many u can pick whichever you like ofc!! and congrats on 100 followers٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

main event page - event masterlist

J: Jealousy - do they get jealous easily? what are they like when they're jealous? Already done this one, see it here x

K: Kisses - what are their kisses like? Lighter's kisses are always intense even if they're innocent, always pressing even closer to you, and he lingers a bit longer than he probably should, like its a battle of wills for him to actually pull away. And you can always feel him smiling against you, a victorious little smirk, all proud of himself as if he just won a competition and getting to kiss you is his prize. He tastes sweeter than you'd expect because of the lollipops he always has on him, and sometimes he'll ask you what flavour you think he had after finally pulling a way from a makeout session (and its borderline impossible to answer, if his everyday kisses are intense his makeouts are mindmelting, but it gives you an excuse to kiss him again 'to double check'). Other than your lips, he likes kissing you on the temple, often pulling you up against his side and pressing one there at the slightest excuse.

L: Language - what are their love languages (could be of the five official love languages, or other stuff) Of the five love languages, he's definitely mainly an acts of service guy. Anything you need, he's yours, whether you're dating yet or not (and his definition of 'what you need' is a lot closer to 'what you want'). Picking up a prescription for you? Of course. Helping you put together IKEA furniture? He'll be there in five. Need to last-minute bake 200 cupcakes for your cousin's school's bake sale? He's picking up some energy drinks on his way over and will help you until they're done, even if it takes all night. The type of guy to go to your house while you're out and spend a day doing that annoying massive chore that you keep putting off as a surprise. And he HATES if someone jokes that you "have him trained well" - he just wants to see you happy, and if its in his power to help with that, why wouldn't he? Does their partner's happiness mean nothing to them? He doesn't even laugh it off, it genuinely makes him angry.

V: Valentine - how serious are they about valentine's day? how would they ask you to be their valentine? Lighter may be a sap and romance enthusiast, but I don't think he places tons of importance on Valentine's Day - if anything, it's just an excuse to spend a nice day together, and he's adept at finding excuses for that year-round. He'll insist on some sort of date night, but he'll mainly match your energy - if you're not bothered about the holiday, he's more than happy to spend an evening watching movies with takeout and lots of blankets, but if you want to do something more special, by god he will give you special. He's not big on fancy restaurant dinners n stuff like that, but he'll find a great stargazing spot in the Outer Ring and set it up with a cute picnic with all your favourite foods, cushions and blankets and fairy lights; he'd get you flowers and drive you out there at sunset so you get to watch the sky change colours on the way, n he definitely recruited the girls to help him find the spot and guard it while he gets you there. When it comes to asking you to be his valentine, he'll make it sweet but not super flashy. He knows he's meant to ask even if you're dating - the girls remind him in a panic because they saw online that a bunch of guys didn't know they were meant to ask their partner to be their valentine, but he's just like "yeah obviously, I've already got plans for it". Will most likely get you a small gift or a little gift basket of things you like with a note asking you to be his valentine. And he'll lowkey be nervous when he gives it to you lmao, like why is he scared that you'll say no, he's literally your boyfriend.

segmented fluff alphabet ; shadow milk cookie

requested by ; two anons

letter prompt ; j / jealousy & x / xylophone

pairing ; shadow milk cookie x gender neutral reader insert

masterlist ; here

part of my valentine’s day event

J — Jealousy

do they get jealous?

Shadow Milk Cookie is a very jealous person and he makes no attempt to hide that from you — even if, at times, he tries to play off his jealousy as just some playful act done to mess with whoever happened to be getting a bit too close to you for his liking. He never takes his jealousy out on you, wouldn’t even dream of it, but other people are more than fair game and he’s been known to completely destroy people’s sense of reality with his illusions for the heinous crime of… flirting with you. If you ask he’ll tone it down a bit, but he’s never going to be ‘nice’ to any mortals that annoy him so it’s best to just settle on the ‘no torture’ thing and not push too hard.

X — Xylophone

what is their song?

‘Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)’ by Edison Lighthouse and ‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga could both easily describe your love story with Shadow Milk Cookie… it just depends on whether you meet him before or after he became the Beast of Deceit.

I’m laughing at the Tangled event being on Valentine’s because in En we have Crowley beating us up. Tis the season 🥰

[Referencing this post!]

Have you considered that maybe Crowley beats up children to celebrate Valentine’s Day?/j 🙄

He’s just sharing his endless capacity to love with his students, duuuh!! He’s got that Lash of Love (TM) after all… This is the prime time to whip (heh, pun) it out~

[finelinefae]

Bestie I literally just read flower and I’m OBSESSED and I can imagine y/n trying to turn tattooh into a swiftie whilst he tries to explain the rap beef to y/n 😭

no bc this was such a good and unique idea i had to write a little something for it !!

wordcount: 1.3k

. . .

“Okay, so what was it again?” Y/N asked, a dip between her brows as she fastened the bow on a bouquet of flowers she was completing for a baby shower they had been invited to next weekend. 

“So Kendrick-”

“The guy who featured on Bad Blood?” Y/N double-checked. 

Harry chuckles, “I mean he’s also a Pulitzer Prize winner but that too.” She nods, waiting for him to continue, “So he featured on a song with a bunch of other artists basically taking aim at J Cole and Drake-”

“Oh I know him, he posted a picture of him and Taylor on his Instagram that one time two years ago,” Y/N says. 

Harry nods, desperate to finish explaining to her the current online events he had been obsessively keeping track of over the past twenty-four hours, “Right, right. So anyway,” Harry continued to explain the ongoing tension in the world of rap circling the internet with Y/N nodding a long, nothing but confusion on her face. 

Amongst many things, Y/N and Harry’s music tastes were polar opposites. Whilst Y/N loved pop - Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo - Harry tended to lean more towards alternate music, genres like rap and grunge or anything before the 2000’s. He loved rock bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. On their first New Year’s Eve together, they’d spent the entire night at a karaoke bar in the city, four Shania Twain sons deep by the time the clock hit midnight. 

Although they were at opposite ends of the spectrum when it came to their music tastes, they loved talking to each other about what they were listening to. They would share their weekly Spotify stats over dinner at the end of each week and make playlists for each other to listen to whenever they were taking the train somewhere. 

As Harry finished explaining, Y/N picked up the bouquet and carried it over to where he was sitting, placing it on the table in front of him. 

Even as he was speaking, Harry automatically reached out to slide an arm around her waist beneath her fuzzy, pink cardigan rubbing circles with his thumb over the exposed bit of skin on her hip. 

“That sounds… really complicated, H.” Y/N sighed, “I’d hate to get into an argument like that.”

Harry smiled at how adorable she looked with pouty lips and concern on her face, “Lucky for you flower, y’ much too difficult to get into any kind of argument with.” 

Harry and Y/N rarely had major arguments. Typically, their disagreements were over minor or unimportant matters, often ending with Harry showering her with kisses as an apology or Y/N clinging to him until he forgave her.

“And he wants Drake to die?” Y/N gasps, “That’s awful.”

Harry nods, watching her hands carefully move around the flowers in the bouquet to get them in the perfect place. “Hmm, ‘s not the nicest thing to say to a person,”

Y/N sighed, sitting on his thigh when her legs got too tired from standing. His lips puckered against the base of her exposed neck from where she had tied her curls up with a scrunchie. He inhaled the floral perfume he had bought her for Valentine’s Day. She was obsessed with it, dousing herself in it every morning and before she went to bed.

“Have you listened to Taylor’s new album by the way?” Y/N wondered, turning to hook her leg over his other thigh so she was straddling him. She was pressed between him and the worktop, her arms moving around his neck and fingers fiddling with the curly baby hairs by his neck. 

Harry winced, “Ummm…”

“Harry,” Y/N huffed, “You said you would listen to it so I could talk you through it track by track.” 

“I know! I’m getting to it, y’know I’ve jus’ been busy this week.” Harry stated, which was true. It had been the school holidays and a lot more customers had visited both their shops than usual. 

“The album came out weeks ago,” Y/N said, pushing herself off of him to start putting everything away for tomorrow. 

Before she could take one step, Harry grabbed her wrist and pulled her into him, “I will, baby - promise, I’ll get to it and then y’ can talk for as long as y’ want all about it. Y’ can even put your pj’s on and show me y’ little dance y’ used to do when I heard y’ havin’ y’ little solo parties before we met,” He smirked against her neck. 

Y/N blushed, clearing her throat and moving away. Her eyes narrowed, “You better.” She walked back to the front desk, “And they weren’t solo parties! Marsh was there too,” She said, referring to her little cat. 

. . .

During her lunch break, Y/N reached for her bag to eat the pasta salad Harry had prepared for her that morning before they left for work. When she unzipped the bag, she found his Star Wars lunchbox inside instead of her own.

She slid off her seat and walked straight to his tattoo shop next door, knowing he had probably mixed up their lunches and ended up with her Cinnamoroll one.

She pushed the door open, expecting to hear the strums of an electric guitar or the low grovel of an indie rock band playing over the Bluetooth speakers. But instead, she was shocked to hear the voice of her favourite singer. 

Her heart soared even before she saw him as she walked past the front desk. "Hey Mike, what's with the music?" She asked as if she didn’t know already.

“Harry insisted he put it on this morning. You have to go in there and tell him it’s killing the vibe.” Mike grumbled, taking a puff of the vape in his hand. 

Y/N smiled, “I quite like it.”

“Of course you do,” He rolled his eyes. 

Y/N walked through to the back rooms where she heard the steady sounds of a tattoo gun. Her eyes found Harry, deeply focused on the design he was tattooing on someone’s wrist. 

Y/N stood to one side and waited patiently, “Okay that’s all done,” Harry clicked his tongue, pushing his chair away and wrapping up the tattoo for the customer. 

After the customer had left, she stepped into the room, “Hi Harry,” She beamed, floating over to him. He looked so cute and cuddly today, wearing a grey sweatshirt and black trousers with his usual Doc Martens and a navy-coloured beanie to cover his curls. 

A smile carved onto Harry’s face, “Hi flower,” He removed his gloves and met her halfway, pulling her into a hug and kissing her softly. 

“Missed you,” She murmured against his lips. 

“Miss you always, flower.” He brushed a loose curl behind her ear, “Thought I wasn’t meeting y’ ‘til later?”

“Oh,” She pulled out the lunchbox and handed it to him, “I think we got our lunches mixed up,” 

Harry furrowed his brows, grabbing the plastic bag with his lunch inside only to find her pink lunchbox instead. He chuckles, “Ah, must have been the early morning getting to me.”

“S okay,” Y/N grins, “I like your music choice by the way.”

Harry smirked, “Promised a girl something,”

“Oh really?” Y/N’s grin deepened, “Well I’m sure she’ll be very happy you kept your promise.”

“I’ve been thinking about her all morning, getting to hear her talk non-stop later about her favourite songs.” He says, her arms sliding up his torso to meet at the back of his back. 

She stood on her toes, his head dropping and their noses brushing together, “All morning?” 

“All the time,” He breathes, “Can’t seem to stop thinking about her since I met her.”

“Hmm, well she’s a very lucky girl.” Y/N murmurs.

His lips met hers, the low light above shining down on them as the Tortured Poets Department came to an end and ‘Lover’ played on shuffle over the speakers of his tattoo parlour.

More Valentin Viljoen (V) Headcanons! MC X V

IM BACK AND ROLLING WITH MORE HEADCANONS FOR OUR BEST AND FAVORITE VIGILANTE!!! I had tons of fun making the last one and Ill feed you guys with some more <3 (thank me, children smh. /lh /j /nm)

Okay so... *opens notebook* If you ever accidentally fell asleep when V's around, he'd let you rest aslong you wish but when he notices its getting a bit late or close to your bedtime, he'll gently wake you up so you can brush your teeth, do whatever nightly routine you do and then have your quality sleep.

He would NEVER lash at or snap at you when he's mad even if he's fuming, instead, he'd come to you for comfort and solace. He could be a full inferno but when he comes to you to let off steam, he's gonna be so relaxed afterwards as if he wasn't just about to annihilate someone's whole family bloodline 10 minutes ago. :3

Since canonically he participates in fundraising/charity events, he'd ask you to accompany him if you'd like. if he were to host one, he'd want you to be by his side as he works <3

If you have some sort of outfit mishap, let's say a string you're having trouble tying on your back, V will be right by your side and tie it for you. The same goes for hooks you can't reach. He'd also fix your collar if its a bit creased and help adjust your shirt. What a gentleman. :3

HFJbfjebfFEFE As a gift, he'd buy matching jewelry sets for you and him to wear <3 Be it a sun and moon rings, matching necklaces or bracelets. He would always smile when he spots you wearing it and would interlock your hands together to watch eachothers bracelet/rings side by side.

A pushover MC? Hah! Not on V's watch! He would SEATHE if anyone took advantage of your kind (doormat) personality and would stand up for you in every given chance. In no universe would he just watch you getting stepped on as if you held no value. Hold his dagger, he's gonna beat someone up.

Now, if you can handle yourself out in public, V would still insist on being with you. Not because he doesn't trust you, but just so you dont need to get your hands dirty. Thats his job to protect you :3

You both frequently visit each other so often that you both have copies of each other's house keys so you can come and go as you please. Your personal belongings would make themselves comfortable in his bunker because of how often you drop by to see him.

If you feel even a little bit sick, Vs gonna be your personal doctor, making sure you're taking your medicine on time, eating well, taking rest, and dealing with whatever work you need to complete. From cleaning the house or writing a report for work. Your well-being is his priority, after all.

If you suffer from bad mental health or any mental illness, he would be your number one supporter and be with you through every step of the journey. He would even recommend a good therapist for you and pay for your sessions if you're okay with it.

He would never force you into making decisions. Whether it be small mundane choices like picking out an outfit for the day or choosing what to eat and which restaurant, to major life choices like switching jobs or moving cities. He would support and give his own personal opinion in your favor at best. The main decision-making is up to you.

Hes your number-one supporter for whatever hobbies you're into and whatever interests you find intriguing <3 As long as they don't involve you getting hurt or hurting others, he's gonna let you be you.

He loves you for who you are no matter what race, gender, religion, sexuality, etc you identify as. To him, they specifically don't matter since its only YOU he cares about. And he loves everything that makes you, you. <3

Eheheheh... this is super silly... If you ever tease him by replacing your last name with his when you say your name ( 'Y/N Viljoen' ), he's gonna be so stunned that he will ask you to say it again to see whether you REALLY JUST REPLACED YOUR LAST NAME WITH HIS or his ears were messing with him. If you choose to repeat it, he's gonna be a red-flustered mess. The only thing coming from his mouth will be incomprehensible stuttering and him telling you to shut up. ( Ofc he'd never mean it but oh my god. Leave the man alone he might aswell ascend to heaven atp with how much youre teasing him. )

On the topic of flustered V, he's a total tsundere when it comes to your teasing and flirting. But he really does enjoy how it makes his heart flutter. He'd never admit it out loud of course but the way he never genuinely tells you to stop is enough of an answer for you.

Hes not the flirting type himself. But at rare moments, it slips out. Just like the way he was acting so charming and romantic when he was LITERALLY BLEEDING OUT ON YOUR DOORSTEP DURING HIS ROUTE LIKE OH MY GOD V. Its such a nice change of pace on how the roles are now switched that it makes your heart flutter in all the correct ways because of how well he pulls it off. Gah.. I love romantic men <3

If you own a pet yourself, V would suggest you and his more safer pets to have a little pet playdate <3 It would be great for your animals to get used to each others company and settle in each others homes since you'll be spending more time together!

Ending this with possibly the sweetest one. If there's a charity event for children and you and him participated in it, V would watch you as you interact and play with the kids cheerfully. He would study your facial expressions and your smile as you talked to the kids. He'd gaze at you whenever you would pick up the smaller ones or give them piggyback rides and something in him would open up... His heart would open up to the thought of, maybe one day, being able to have a child with you and watch as you and him take care of them and raise them. It'd be a fantasy he would silently wait for to come true but of course, he'd dismiss it for now since its too early to think of such thoughts and he wasn't sure of your opinion on it. But he'd still daydream... and wait...

YAYYY IM FINALLY DONE. Sorry this took a bit of time to write (Im a master procrastinator <3) But I had fun writing it! I never mentioned it but you guys are free to request any V or other KC members headcanons or fics. Im open to new things and its a good way to experiment with my writing <3 Tysm for 10 MORE FOLLOWERS??? OMG YALL IM SO HAPPY FBEHFBEG anyways enjoy your dinner, children. lovely mention to @megaroniandcheez for hyping me up for it sure amazing. -Shan/Shannon

Hi!!! Do you have any silly Valentine’s Day hc for the LU boys? Modern or cannon❤️💐

i dunno how silly all of these are, but:

every year my modern au War and Twi do something together. its a tradition that started when they were like 15 after War had like just broken up with his at the time bf and they’d just play video games together, but now that they’re adults with adult money and can do whatever they want, they dress up and go to a fancy ass dinner. its the biggest event of the year for Twi, and the only real reason he bothers keeping a pair of dress shoes. Whenever Twi and Midna get their shit together and if War ever finds a long term partner, those two are going to have to understand the Bro Tradition /j Sky has always been invited to come, but he’s usually had a partner (high school boyfriends, and now he’s been dating Sun since the start of college)

Speaking of my modern au Sky: he and Sun cook dinner together at his apartment (since War and Twi aren’t there) and then watch movies together. They’ve gone out to dinner one year in the past, but they have a lot more fun when they stay in and make food together

Both my Modern au and regular Time goes out very early in the morning and picks flowers and makes Malon a bouquet (it took me three entire minutes to figure out how to spell that), and then he’ll make breakfast for them both and THEN go wake her up. she keeps trying to get up before him and surprise HIM with breakfast but he always finds a way to be up first. in their 20s, they one time ended up having breakfast at like 3 in the morning because they were both so determined to wake up before the other

my regular War i write spends the whole entire day with his cats, and it’d take an incredibly special someone to come along and change that because those are his BABIES

my regular Sky and Sun will fly around on their loftwings and have a little picnic somewhere on one of the floating islands :)

and then the others don’t really do anything super special or specific, i think they’d just enjoy spending time with their loved ones

actually i lied: modern au wind drinks fun dip packets and bounces off walls and four sits there with his head in his hands

heart-shaped sweets

s3!jj maybank x gf!reader

creds: roseraris for dividers!

the sun hung low over kildare island, casting a warm golden light across the sandy beaches. you could hear the gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore, almost like a soft lullaby.

in the pogue side of the island sat a small, worn shack sat nestled among the palm trees, its weathered exterior reflecting the carefree spirit of the group.

it was almost valentine’s day, and the air buzzed with anticipation, especially for you. you glanced at the calendar hanging crookedly on the wall, its red heart stickers marking the days leading up to the big event.

jj maybank, your boyfriend, had been acting a bit strange lately, his usual mischievous grin replaced by a focused determination that made your heart race. it was a mystery you were dying to solve.

“hey, what’re you up to?” you called out as you entered the living room, where jj was furiously scribbling something on a piece of paper.

he looked up, a sheepish grin spreading across his face, and the familiar sparkle in his blue eyes made your heart flutter.

“just... uh, homework,” he stammered, but you could sense the lie hanging in the air. the pogues were known for many things, but schoolwork wasn’t one of them.

“homework?” You raised an eyebrow, crossing your arms. “since when do you do homework on a tuesday?”

he shrugged, the grin still plastered on his face. “im just trying to be a good student for once. you know, set a good example for the younger kids.”

you rolled your eyes, but couldn’t help but laugh. “yeah, right. what are you really planning?”

jj leaned back against the couch, feigning innocence. “nothing, really. just a surprise for you, babe.”

“a surprise?” you pressed, your curiosity piqued. “what kind of surprise?��

he opened his mouth to respond, but before he could, the door swung open, pope and kiara stepped inside, their laughter filling the room.

“hey, lovebirds! what’s going on in here?” kiara teased, nudging jj with her elbow.

“just studying,” he shot back, a hint of a blush creeping up his neck.

“studying? in your dreams, dude,” pope laughed. “what’s the actual plan for valentine’s? i thought you were gonna take her out, maybe dinner on the boat?”

jj’s expression shifted slightly, a flicker of concern crossing his face. “yeah, well, plans changed a bit. trying to keep it low-key this year.”

kiara raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying it. “low-key? jj, you’re the king of extravagant. you can’t just go quiet on us now.”

“hey, im working with what i got,” he replied defensively. “it’s not like i can just whip out cash like the kooks.”

you felt a flutter of warmth in your chest, realizing he was putting thought into this, even if he didn’t have much to spare.

“whatever it is, jay, i’m sure i’ll love it,” you said, giving him a reassuring smile.

jj’s expression softened, and he reached out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind your ear.

“you know, i’d do anything for you. even if it means skipping a few meals,” he joked, but the sincerity in his voice was unmistakable.

jj’s presence was like a comforting blanket, and you knew that whatever he had planned, it would be perfect.

valentine’s day dawned bright and clear. you woke up with a smile on your face, the excitement bubbling inside you. you quickly got ready, throwing on a sundress that you knew would drive jj wild.

as you stepped outside, the salty breeze tousled your hair, and you spotted jj leaning against his bike, a nervous energy radiating off him.

“hey, gorgeous,” he said, his voice tinged with a hint of awe. “you look amazing.”

“thanks! so, what’s the plan?” you asked, your heart racing as he pulled out a small, beautifully wrapped box from his backpack.

“first, this.” he handed it to you, his gaze locked on yours. “open it.”

you carefully unwrapped the box, revealing a heart-shaped necklace with a ‘j’ engraved on it. it glimmered in the sunlight, a soft silver hue that matched your dress perfectly.

“jj, this is beautiful!” you exclaimed, your heart swelling with affection.

“i figured you could use a little something special. you know, to match your smile,” he said with a shy grin.

you slipped the earrings on, feeling their cool metal against your skin. “i love them. thank you!”

“okay, next surprise!” he said, pulling out a bag filled with heart-shaped candies. “i saved up for these. they’re from that store you love.”

you gasped, your heart fluttering at the thoughtfulness behind his actions. “you didn’t have to do this, jay.”

“i wanted to,” he said, his voice steady. “you mean a lot to me, and i wanted today to be special.”

you leaned in and kissed him softly, feeling the warmth of his lips against yours. “it’s already special.”

“good, because there’s more,” he said, pulling out a small, faded piece of paper. “i know it looks like it’s just a piece of paper, but it’s a promise.”

“a promise?” you asked, furrowing your brow.

“yeah. i promise to take you on a real date, like a fancy dinner or something, once i can afford it. just you and me, no interruptions.”

you felt a rush of emotions, your heart swelling with affection and admiration for the boy in front of you.

“i’d love that,” you said, your voice barely above a whisper. jj’s face broke into a wide grin, the kind that made your heart skip a beat.

“awesome. now, let’s head to the beach. i’ve got a little picnic planned.”

the two of you hopped onto his bike, the wind whipping through your hair as he revved the engine and sped off toward the beach. the laughter and joy filled the air as you rode, the sun shining brightly overhead.

when you arrived, a cozy blanket was spread out on the sand, adorned with an array of homemade sandwiches, fruit, and, of course, more heart-shaped candies.

“wow, you really went all out,” you said, impressed.

“i had some help from kiara,” he admitted, scratching the back of his head. “but i put in the effort, i swear!”

you settled onto the blanket, the warmth of the sun wrapping around you like a hug. the sound of the waves created a soothing backdrop as you shared bites of food and stories, the laughter echoing across the beach.

“okay, let’s try the sweets,” jj said, holding up one of the heart-shaped candies.

“to us!”

“to us!” you echoed, clinking your candy against his before popping it into your mouth.

the sweetness burst on your tongue, and you couldn’t help but grin. as the afternoon wore on, the sun began to dip toward the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange. jj moved closer, wrapping his arm around your shoulders.

“i really wanted today to be perfect,” he murmured, his breath warm against your ear.

“it is perfect,” you assured him, leaning into his side.

“you’ve made me feel so special.” he looked down at you, his blue eyes intense and sincere.

“you are special. to me and to everyone else. you deserve all this and more.”

the moment hung between you, the weight of unspoken emotions filling the space. you turned to him, your heart racing.

“can i tell you something?” you hum.

“always,” he replied, his voice low and encouraging.

“i love you, jay. i really do.” his expression softened, and he leaned in, pressing his forehead against yours.

“i love you too. more than you know.” just then, a loud thud interrupted the moment, and you both jumped, breaking the intimacy.

it was just a couple of rowdy kids leaving the beach after playing all day, heading home in time for dinner. you smiled, remembering when you were that age, so carefree.

“now, where were we?” jj asked, his voice playful as he leaned in closer.

“right about here,” you replied, and before you knew it, his lips met yours in a soft kiss that sent shivers down your spine.

the world around you faded away, and in that moment, it was just the two of you—lost in each other, the sound of the waves mingling with your laughter. you could feel the love radiating between you, stronger than any words could express.

as the evening wore on, you cuddled close under the blanket, sharing stories and dreams, the earlier confrontation forgotten. jj’s warmth enveloped you, and you felt safe, cherished—exactly where you wanted to be.

when the stars twinkled brightly above, you looked up, feeling a sense of peace wash over you.

“you know, this is the best valentine’s day ever,” you said, looking at him.

he grinned, his eyes sparkling. “i’m glad you think so. because it’s just the beginning.”

and in that moment, you knew that there would never be a dull moment in your relationship with jj. he would always do something to surprise you, to make you feel loved and cherished. and god, you couldnt wait.
