Sam McClair had never been one for holiday’s since she had never really celebrated them, of course, there was the rare occasion with things like Christmas and maybe Thanksgiving but that had only ever come around due to her old team and the occasional RED base if she was around during the Holiday season.But other times those usually joyous occasions just blurred with the time and unfortunately, it was worse for the smaller holiday’s like Valentine’s day and Easter since there was even more of a reason not to celebrate them, But this time everything was a little bit different.Years ago Sam’s significant other at the time Charlie had been in the same boat of not caring about Holiday’s and saving anything romance related to anniversaries which was fitting for the both of them. But this time was different, the Brutal wanted to actively do something nice and cute for the person she was with during a day that was celebrated for couples and besides all that the Romanian had been having a pretty rough couple of weeks so this day would be a nice surprise and hopefully a happy one that would help kick out whatever was dragging them down.So with a bit of a smile and a nervous air around the usually professional Sniper she had grabbed a small thing of chocolates and a nice bottle of wine that the RED spy had suggested and had everything neatly wrapped in a thick blanket as well for Claudia, just the normal usual cute things that uh… couples got for one another right?Everything was placed on top of a sturdier blanket that was around a small fire ring and was ready for the two once they got back to the Aussies camper. But damn, did Sam really feel out of place and like a teen again doing something that should be.. normal? By now.What ever, there was no time to really dwell on that thought since her beautiful Medic was missing her Valentine. The Aussie would go about surprising the other by meeting them by there base, not to close to really alert anyone but just close enough where the other would see her in the distance, probably followed by a wave or maybe the laser of her scope getting the others attention. From there she would swoop in once they were hidden by the shadows of the BLU base and wrap the other women in an embrace and kiss her, it would be a quick chaste kiss but the hug would convey the majoirty of her feelings before Sam would tell Caludia to come visit her out back once they were washed up for the night and tell her that she wanted to spend Valentines day with them, cuddled around a fire with a bottle of wine and a nice blanket, some chocolates and kisses, anything for her lover. Because love like this was so rare and so hard to find amongst the war and Sam wanted to be selfish, to love again, to hold someone close to steal kisses during work, to be open and vulnerable, to protect and go through the tribulations of life together no matter what the outcome will be. Because for once the Brutal wanted to open up more and to have the Medic as there Valentine. @claudiatheblumedic
