you have to think abt your f/os valentines gifts you have to.
maybe they're a little fucked up or store bought. they really really wanted to try this recpe they found for making homemade chocolates but um. it didn't go too hot. but they still wanted to do something for you so they got you some from the store instead!! they're probably a little less than hot themselves, maybe their hair is a little out of place or they're a little out of breath, but you can tell they tried, even if that evidence is a soot spot by the oven or odd, mysterious stain on the counter. you have to consider them stealing one or two chocolates from you btw sharing is caring and you must care about them an awful lot since you're sharing such a special day with a special someone, them, and they look over at you with exaggerated doe eyes to get you to laugh. yeah, sure, it might be at them, but they're more than happy to play jester to hear that sound from you again and again. they'll consider it their valentines day gift.
or maybe they are more put together! maybe they threw a whole day together for the two of you, some almost comedically romantic and intimate activities and places on the road map they carefully constructed. maybe you can catch them grinning to themself in satisfaction whenever you praise whatever it is that you're doing- hey, they worked hard to make sure this day was perfect, they think they more than deserve to be a little smug about getting it just right for you. even if they were more off, they'll opt to do whatever it is you want to do instead- sure, they might throw one or two of the things they put a little more self-indulgently on the list, but they're more than happy to go along with whatever you prefer. they wanted the day to be perfect, after all, and your happiness, whatever grants that, is what's most important to them.
either which way they're just happy to spend the day with you, whether that's by going out and rocking the town or by staying in and watching bad movies, they're just happy to be doing it with you.
