Keegan was never one for romance, straying from everything other than measly flirting — his past partners’ consisting of flings, and unimportant hookups.

Valentine’s day had no importance to him either, always remaining in the back of his mind; not once doing anything big for said holiday, barely anything at all for so many years of his existence.

And ever since you’ve stepped into his life, his perspective changed — not only revolving around himself, and his team.

You became his light, someone to come back home to; fight for his survival, rather than let fate take its course.

Yet as valentine’s rolled around this year, Keegan had no time to plan much, burdened with juggling the weight of his job as it consumed most his time.

His gaze landed on you, brief before he glanced back; fiddling with his balaclava in his grasp, rolling the material in his fingers as he took a drag of the joint in his other hand.

A half-eaten, heart-shaped box of chocolates sat between you, the lights in the room dimmed.

The silence was something he was used to, giving him a false sense of security as the weed settled within his system. “Happy valentine’s, {{user}}..” Keegan muttered. He was late, missing a dinner reservation entirely, and returning only now — 11:30 pm.
