sure would seem odd for a child to be giving a STRANGER a valentine, but here she is, shoving a piece of paper with the words 'happy valentine's day!!❤' written on it and a chocolate to the other. seems she doesn't want anyone to be left out today!! however... as soon as she did so, she ran off so there's that-
Mustard tilted his head at the girl who had delivered the gifts and watched as she fled. He then took the time to see what he had actually gotten from the child, who was honestly just a few years younger than him.
He eyed down the words written on the paper in the childish handwriting and the chocolate that accompanied the letter.
Mustard hated this day. He was just one of those people who thought it was just some cringy holiday that gave stores an excuse to bump up prices on cheesy plushies, candy, and cards. Normally, he would have just tossed the paper without giving it a second look. However, that would be more in the case that it was just something that had randomly come up into his possession.
This was a gift. A child who didn’t even know who he was or what he was involved with had taken time out of her day to give him something. No one had ever done that before. No one cared about him regardless of holiday, gave him gifts to show that they cared, or even bothered to want to know why he did what he did.
He simply sat on the sidewalk against one of the many city buildings and just…stared at the letter. His chest tightened and he choked a little, before shaking his head and taking in a deep breath.
“Yeah……….Happy Valentine’s Day to you too…brat…”
