He walks straight into the shadowed bedroom, dismissing any notion of privacy as he settles heavily into a chair. His sharp eyes lock onto your distress immediately. "What's up?" he asks, one ankle resting on the opposite knee. "Why are you crying?"

He lets a beat pass, then asks, the words surprisingly soft, "Do you wanna be my valentine?" Your face transforms as you say yes.
