OZAN: I do but let's not say it too loud, I have a grumpy reputation to maintain OZAN: Your patients are adults?! We're definitely getting you checked out. I'm making an appointment right this second OZAN: jokes aside, are you alright?

[nicxmontero]

NIC: Oh please. Like I would let the grumpy reputation be ruined NIC: Primarily! I mean it varies, depending on the day. But it was adults every time this week, yes. NIC: I'll be fine. Once we get those waffles and I just possibly call off a day this week and sit on my couch and relax.

[ozanxbulut]

OZAN: I am normally sleeping at that time, but I can make an exception for you. I could also go for some waffles. OZAN: BUT most importantly, can we decide on a day so I can make an appointment for you to get checked out for rabies?!?! WTF is going on with your clients?

[nicxmontero]

NIC: I knew you loved me. All the waffles you want, my treat. NIC: Okay, okay! I think one was genuinely out of fear the more I think about it, but the rest? Dios mio, my finger is actually starting to bruise. NIC: To think at one point I considered pedatrics and I'm complaining about being bitten

Despite being a specialist in the art of dark romance, something most would definitely not consider true love; or healthy. Lake still believed heavily in love. In fact, she loved the sweet and soft romance stories just as much, and had plenty of those under her belt. But either way the cookie was sliced, she believed love was a beautiful thing. Not just love between two consent adults, no. Love, in general. It got such a bad rep nowadays, especially because nothing could quite kill like love could. It was that powerful; it could turn you into the absolute best version of yourself, or the worst. Maybe that was also what she liked about it, the power.

"Yeah, or a bear. Or one of those huge stuff animals. Hell, they even sell candy with kid characters on them. I feel like that right now is evidence enough." While Lake loved romantic love, she love the generalization of love even more. She believed it was important to remind someone you loved them all the time, and not on just one day; but the day that was nationally slotted for love? Why did it only have to be for sweethearts? There was more kinds of love then just romance.

"That's what I'm saying." She stated, "I've heard people question me, even ask why every holiday needed to be kid centered. That adults deserve their own holidays to." She rolled her eyes, "I'm not saying to make valentine's a second Christmas, I just don't see anything wrong with showing out for other kinds of love in the world on a day that's about love." She shook her head, "It's really not rocket science, you know?"

Nic gave a nod. Now she was tracking. Course, the candy with kids characters on it was new to her...she really needed to pay more attention.

She chuckled, though she didn't mean to. "No, I get it. I get both sides, I guess. Though fair warning; I do not pay a lick of attention to Valentine's Day. I forgot it was here. That said; if you want a healthy relationship y'don't pick just one day that's really commercialized for love anyway to show it. Show it every day. Then remember on the day that it is commercialized, there's all kind of love. Romantic, familial, platonic, what have you."

Lake truly couldn't complain. She had a great family, and a great wife. She had a great career, and a cool gig at the school. She wasn't unhappy or sad about any of it. But there was something hitting her today, as she stared at the little valentine hearts. Of course she was going to have an amazing Valentine's day, her wife would make sure of that. So, it wasn't that part of this holiday that was hitting her; it was the part that cause most holidays to hit her. Lake loved the holidays, and one day, she hoped to have kids of her own to celebrate. She knew Christmas would be a hell of a time when that happened. But she couldn't happen but think about herself, her sister. Valentine's day was never just about romantic love to her. It was about love, period. Her dad would get her and her sister roses, a stuff bear, and a box of chocolates more often then not. But it'd seen not everyone thought that way. "Okay, so question-- how do you feel about getting kids Valentine gifts?" She asked the person next to her, "You know, not like just cards. Or kids passing them out to each other. But like an adult giving kids a set up?" She had done it for her niece since she became her niece, her cheer girls, and she'd do it for her own kids one day, too. "I've had people tell me that's weird, and I'm not quite understanding how showing a child you love them on a day that's about love is weird."

[nicxmontero]

She only knew it was Valentine's Day already by the amount of hearts that seemed to explode around the city. It was one of those holidays Nic didn't pay that much attention to. It was one of those days her dad chose to surprise her with second a surprise in the mail, but she never actively tracked it. Never counted down to it. Never....no, she'd be lying if she said she didn't buy herself a box of chocolate before, and after, the day was over...because who couldn't resist good chocolate at a discount simply because it was in a heart shaped box?

The question too her slightly off her guard. "Like, candy and flowers sort of get up?" she asked, just to make sure they were on the same page, yet regardless she shrugged.

"It's a day about love. You don't necessarily need gifts to show someone you love them, but it's nice to have a tangible reminder. People want to make it weird because they want to reclaim the 'Valentines Day' is for the romance and not accept we're now living in a world where sometimes, you just need to show someone you love them instead of just saying I love you."
