"Do you know who the best Valentine is in all of Auradon?" Tone is light as he sticks his head in to his sister's room, a bright smile on his face as he holds up her gift bag. Of course it's no surprise that hers was their color scheme, but a bit more bright to fit such a happy holiday. "Now I know I didn't have to do this but, I couldn't leave my sister hanging." The contents in her bag were some treats, made by himself and Evie, and a heart shaped pendant he saved up for. "Enjoy yourself, Ly."
valentine’s day! (aka carlos is the best brother ever.) || @clevls
the second he pops his head through the door frame, she knows. his first sentence just makes it that much clearer. her heart swells in her chest as she catches sight of the bag, her love for her brother spilling onto her cheeks in the bright red blush. it was less about material objects, more that he had put in the effort to get her something. and that effort...well it meant EVERYTHING to Ally. she made room on the bed, patting the seat next to her as she grinned. “I do indeed, but I think we have different answers.”
she reached over and opened the first drawer of the nightstand, pulling out a (poorly) wrapped gift. “because mine, as always, is you.” it wasn’t anything super special, it consisted mostly of; a couple of techie things she had scrounged up, a bracelet she had made for him in her intro to art class, sheet music for a theme song for the two of them (still a work in progress!) and her favorite, a glistening red leather journal for him to sketch out and design his genius inventions.
she took the bag gently from his hands, her eyes widening as she glanced inside and pulled out the necklace. her thumb absently rubbed the pendent, expression all but glowing. “thank you, los! this is...i can’t even form words. i love you, carlos.” she wrapped her arms around him tightly. through all the horror they had been through on the isle, he’d been her one salvation. the one person who made the weight of the world easier to bear. and things hadn’t changed a bit since they’d moved to auradon. he was still her superhero of a big brother, and she loved him more than anything else in the world.
