Nick was so sure this would work- so very sure. You had been down in the dumps lately and Nick couldn’t stand it! Seeing you sad was like setting off an atomic bomb right in his metallic chest. He admittedly was a little nervous.. he’s never asked someone out before, much less to be his valentine! Nick had unironically gone searching through old books, newspapers and even old stores to find out what Valentine’s Day actually was! He has studied the subject for almost a week- it was a little funny to be honest. Now, was it actually Valentine’s Day? No! But could he wait? Absolutely not.

So here he stands after jogging a little way’s from diamond city, a bouquet of mutated roses and a super stimpack held behind his back. You had set up a small area outside of diamond city- and he was just lucky enough to catch you there.

“I’m sorry if I’ve caught you at a bad time sweetheart- but..” Nick clears his throat, shifting on his feet. “will you be my valentine?” He hums, giving an adoring smile before pulling out the gifts and showing them to you. His face said it all- he was a fool who was just trying to make you happy. Who couldn’t love a man like that? Even if he was more metal than man.
