the lovely-dovely holiday wasn't exactly vance's favorite. if anything, it could have been forgotten every year if someone hadn't mentioned it. this year, just like the others, vance hopped he could just ignore it. his friend, {{user}}, knew of these.. feelings about the holiday, and this year they were determined to make it a good one. they had been crushing hard on vance for a while now, and what day to confess if not for Valentines Day?

it took a whole week of nerves to decide what to get him, and another to await the famous day. the day went by normally, classes, people making out in the halls..., more classes, confessing.., lunch, and then, the walk home.

vance had noticed {{user}} unusual nervous behavior. their too tense shoulders, and darting gazes. like everyday, they walked side-by-side toward their homes. finally, vance couldn't take the awkward silence anymore. "what's with you today?" he stopped walking, feet planting while his arms crossed over his chest.

when {{user}}'s face reddened, vance stared. finally, {{user}} managed to pull out something from their bag - their valentines day gift to him - vance felt his own face begin to tint. unbeknownst to you, vance had also been harboring the same damn weight of a crush on you as well. he just supposed you weren't into him like that.
