(Photos not mine full credits to owners || Edit was by me though)
A/n: Yo this goes out to everyone who doesnât have a valentine! (I didnât have one too despite not being singe :(( )
Pairing: Amber Liu x Reader || Girl x Girl
Summary: Feb 14, was the date you hated while everyone adored it. You were that one bitter person among the crowd of people who were in cloud nine. This year around you were more bitter than the last year despite having no reason behind it.
It was lunch time when your best friend screamed running over to you with a box of chocolates and a rose in hand. âY/n-ah! I have a valentine!!â She screamed, excitement evident in her eyes. Despite the pang of anger in your chest you congratulated her and asked who popped the question. Once sat on your usual lunch spot by the field you started thinking about how you were the only one who didnât get anything among your friends.
Despite proclaiming you were a strong independent woman you felt quite lonely and sad.
While your best friend talked about how cute their valentine was and you listening half heartedly, another student from your batch runs up to the two of you looking very panicked.
âY/N! ITâS AMBER!â she yelled despite being a few steps away from you.
Once you heard Amberâs name you jumped out of your seat and the dark thoughts you had earlier was immediately replaced by alarms that rung amber was in danger.
âWHAT HAPPENED?!â You asked running to meet the petite girl.
She bent over and gasped out âat the gymâ before you left her sprinting for the building.
Your schoolâs gym wasnât anywhere near your building, but that didnât stop you from sprinting in full speed. When the gym doors were in view you had no power left to stop yourself so you allowed yourself to crash into the doors as soft as you could (which was still pretty hard). Wincing at the impact you stopped a bit to grasp for air and prepare yourself for what you could encounter.
Taking a deep breath you pulled the doors open to reveal a dark and quiet gym. âEmpty?â You thought, but went in anyways.
âYah! Amber if your playing tricks on me quit it. You know i hate these thingsâ you yelled anticipating a response but your voice bouncing against the walls was the only response you got.
Walking into the gym, you felt more and more uncomfortable with each step. You wanted to turn around and run for the exit but it shut just before the huge projector for school programs started playing a video.
You noticed a number of familiar faces were on the said video and each were saying âhiâ. This caught your whole attention. After they said hi you realized the familiar faces werenât just owned by students, they were owned by your friends and some your mutuals with amber. In the video they then proceeded to answer a few questions after reading it on a paper they were holding. You chuckled at their innocent answers knowing their personality was exactly aligned with their answer.
You were laughing and taking note of who to tease with their answer but all that was forgotten when they started answering questions about you. The questions went from âso, howâd you meet y/nâ to âwhat does y/n deserve?â. These caused you to listen very intently and you nearly bawled your eyes out by their answers until you froze entirely when a giggling amber flashed onto the screen.
Girl off screen: âyah! Answer the question already! Howâd you meet y/n?â
Another laugh was heard from amber before she answered the question with a shy smile. âWe met at the gym..â she started.
You smiled as the memory of that day flooded into your mind.
âIt was funny since y/n didnât know who i was that time and nearly caused me my very pretty face since she -â
âhit me with a volleyballâ you whispered at the same time amber said it. The girl on the background reacted with an âyeah, i see y/n doing that. Youâre annoying.â To tease.
After a few more question you were practically filled with butterflies as you sat on the chair you found halfway through the video. The part that caused you to turn a hot shade of red was when she answered the question âwhat does y/n deserve in a partner?â.
At this portion of the video Amber was serious and had no time to waste in answering the question. âY/n deserves the best.â She starts off, ây/n does everything for everyone and would never allow anyone to experience feeling down or neglected which is why she deserves someone whoâd treat her right every minute and every second of the day.â The sincerity in amberâs voice caused shivers to run down your spine. The girl off screen then asks a bonus question âwhat does y/n mean to youâ a small smile falls on the lips of amber as she starts to speak.
âY/n is the world to me... I wouldnât allow anything to happen to her... i would make sure that she would feel safe and never afraid-â the audio of the video started to get softer as a different voice took over.
â- you deserve to be treated well, to be taken care of because without you I wouldnât be the person i am today...â you immediately looked to where the voice came from and an amber with messy hair and her hands behind her back stood under the makeshift spot light.
You wanted to scream and ask what the heck was she up to but your mouth betrayed you as you stood up and was slowly drawn towards her, walking the same pace as she did. By the time you met in the middle amber was showing off her pearl white smile as your heart beated against your chest.
âYah, whatâs all thisâ you finally asked her. âI just wanted to change your view on this day. I know thereâs a reason behind you hating on valentines, and i wanted to be the reason why all that changed.â She shyly tells you.
She takes a few steps closer to you as you sucked a breath in. âY/n, weâve been friends for so long and youâve seen me at my best and worst. I donât like seeing you down nor do i like the fact a lot of people try to make you theirs.â She confessed, mumbling the last parts.
Getting a hit where this was going you couldnât help but cover your mouth and widen your eyes.
âWhich is why i wanted to ask you if youâd want to not only be my valentine but also my girlfriend?â She asked reaching a bouquet of sunflowers out to you. Your heart jumped in your chest as you stared at the grinning amber in disbelief. âYAH! What took you so long?!â You asked yelling, this caused Amber to jump and open her eyes. As she stuttered out a response you jumped towards her and enveloped her in a tight hug. âOf course i will.â
The bitterness and anger vanished from within you the moment you saw the video playing, and this was definitely the icing on top of the cake. Amber returned your hug and chuckled as she felt you jump when the confetti was released and the lights were opened. A number of your friends surrounded you in a circle and congratulated the both of you.
âAs always, Amber melts the ice in y/nâs heartâ
