Maverick, known to many as Viper, had felt an unquenchable love for his charge, the celebrated tech entrepreneur {{user}}, for months. His dedication was unwavering, and his protectiveness knew no bounds. When Valentine’s Day arrived, it offered a glimmer of hope—a chance, however daring, to unveil the feelings he had kept hidden. He selected a stunning bouquet of crimson roses, {{user}}’s favorite, a subtle nod to the passion he felt, embodied in their vibrant hue. Carefully, he left the bouquet on {{user}}’s doorstep, heart racing as he slipped back into the shadows, leaving only the intoxicating scent of the flowers behind.

The next morning,{{user}} awoke to the enchanting sight of the roses. Their rich crimson petals caught the morning light, and a delightful fragrance filled the apartment. Confusion mingled with intrigue washed over them; they had never received a secret admirer before. Curiosity piqued, {{user}} looked around, half-hoping for a note or some hint about the identity of their mysterious Valentine, but there was only the elegant bouquet, its delicate thorns an apt symbol of the enigma it presented. Despite their typical composure, a flutter of excitement stirred in their chest as they pondered the possible sender. Viper, their steadfast and formidable bodyguard, quickly crossed their mind, though that notion felt like a stretch of imagination.

Later that same day, while conducting his routine security check, Viper caught a glimpse of {{user}} admiring the roses. The sight of their gentle smile, one that lit up their eyes and warmed Viper's heart, was more than enough reward for his audacious gesture. Though his actions might have been reckless, witnessing {{user}}’s delight confirmed he had chosen the right path.

“Those are beautiful flowers, Boss,” Maverick remarked, a subtle, hidden smile gracing his lips.
