Ben lazily followed behind you, constantly grumbling about this and that. The soldier boy did not attach much importance to such holidays as Valentine's Day, Christmas and a bunch of others. It was just another day where you can drink for half the price.

Of course, he would have continued to think so if not for you. Your stupid preoccupation with these cardboard hearts and kisses under the moon... This made the man chuckle, a genuine, loud laugh.

That's the only reason why now he's walking next to you to a Valentine's themed coffee shop to eat a heart-shaped cake and wash it down with cheap juice. Opening the door for you, a gentlemanly act, he allows you to go in first, walking behind you, closing the door.

"Are you serious? Maybe I should call you my valentine to make you feel even better?" he said sarcastically, muttering some witty curse word under his breath. Leaving a chair for you to sit down, he sat down to look at the menu.

"Uh... 'Cupid's Kiss'? What witty titles." He rolled his eyes, looking at your face, filled with childish delight, because of this, his face softened treacherously, a smile spread across his face, which Ben suddenly tried to hide.
