a/n: he’s really cute ngl 🥺 ps clark ur amazing
prompt: @clarkimagines: “Hi, I hope you’re doing well! Can you please write a Valentine’s Day fic with Jericho Wilson from Titans where he has a crush on the reader and decides to go all out for the holiday after learning the reader has never had a valentine before?? Thank you!! 💙”
You were the youngest member of the Titans, so you and Jericho really clicked when you furst met. The two of you had the best times together. You even started hanging out alone with each other. The team enjoyed teasing you about it. A lot.
Soon enough, Jericho and you were “a thing,” which didn’t surprise a single soul. He had you meet his mom (she wasn’t a fan), you started opening up to him about your life, and he was just the cutest person on the face of the Earth.
Valentine’s Day was approaching and Jericho was ecstatic. He didn’t understand why you didn’t feel the same way.
“I don’t know,” you shrugged, “I guess I’ve just never experienced a Valentine’s Day. It wasn’t a major concern for me growing up.”
“You didn’t get valentines from classmates?” Jericho signed. You shook your head.
“I was homeschooled, remember? Working at the ‘family business.’” You air-quoted. Jericho frowned and moved his gaze to the floor. “Hey, don’t worry,” you rested your hands on his shoulders and kissed his forehead, “just because I’ve never had a Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean I don’t have a heart. There are so many other reasons for that!” You joked. Jericho rolled his eyes and fought off a smile.
“Don’t start with me.” He warned with a chuckle.
Immediately after that conversation, Jericho ran straight to the store to get all the essentials for a perfect Valentine’s Day. The cheesier, the better.
His trip to the store was thorough, he walked down each aisle at least twice. Among his items in the cart, he had: cake mix, frosting, tall candles, a medium-size teddy bear, large box of chocolates, candy hearts, flowers, and an array of ingredients that he’d be using to cook you a fancy meal.
The plan was to make dinner for you while you were having a small party at the Titans Tower, get you over to his house, eat said dinner while the cake was in the oven, listen to some vinyls and dance around, exchange gifts, and put on a romcom. He didn’t know if romcoms were your thing or not, but he was going to make you watch it either way. You just had to. It’s Valentine’s Day.
You invited Jericho to the Valentine’s Day party, but Jericho said he wouldn’t be available until later that day. You were fine with that, and the Titan’s party was nothing to special. There were store-bought heart-shaped sugar cookies and drinks! What more could these lovely people need.
You pulled Dawn aside and told her that you were absolutely clueless on what you should get Jericho as a present. She was sort of amused with how clueless you are, but also almost proud of you.
“Look at you, y/n. All grown up.” She smiled and sipped her beer. “Just get him something that shows him how much you care. What does he like?” Dawn asked while you brainstormed. After a second, you got an idea.
“Oh! I know!” You tapped your hands on the table. “Music. I should get him a vinyl from tje shop, he’d love that.” You nodded to yourself.
“I also suggest a card...and maybe a small box of chocolates.” Dawn grabbed your hand and rubbed her thumb against it to calm you down, she could tell when you were nervous. “You should probably get going, kiddo. Love you.”
“Love you, too.” You grabbed your bag and car keys and walked to the elevator. “Bye, guys!” You shouted over to them. They actually didn’t let you leave immediately. If you didn’t already know, the team was a little protective of you.
“Wait, wait, wait.” Hank stopped you. “When are you coming home?” He asked.
“Uh...I dont know. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow morning?” Hank raised his eyebrows.
“Tomorrow morning? As in, you’re spending the night?” He looked appalled.
“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” Dick warned.
“Wow, the bar’s pretty low, then.” You joked.
“Oh, come on, you guys. Just let y/n do what y/n does. If they’re old enough to beat up bad guys, they’re old enough to make their own choices.” Donna chimed in.
“Thanks, Donna.” You turned back to the boys. “I’ll text you, okay?” You offered.
“Fine.” Hank and Dick both crossed their arms.
“Okay, love you guys, bye!” You walked into the elevator and heard each of the Titan’s “love you, too’s” echo back.
“They grow up so fast.” Dawn commented.
You snagged a Frank Sinatra album from the local vinyl store, and you were pretty excited about it already. Next stop was local grocery store because you knew they sold the tiny boxes of chocolates with mini bears together. And you were right. You picked, paid, and made your way to his place.
You knocked on the door three times. Jericho opened it up and was a little bit messy. His apron was smeared in what you could gather as cake batter.
“Right on time.” He signed to you. You chuckled and gave him a kiss.
“It’s smells great in here.” You told him. “What is that, chocolate cake?” He enjoyed watching you smile. He nodded as an answer.
“The food is ready. I’m going to change, be back in a minute.” He signed and hung his apron up. You patiently waited and he came back from the room in a nice little short-sleeve button-up and some fresh jeans. And he was holding one single rose.
“The rest and in that vase over there.” He motioned to the vase.
“Thank you, Jericho.” You told his as he pulled out a chair for you, then watched him make up your plate for dinner. “Wait, did you make everything yourself?” Jericho nodded again.
“Let’s eat!” He picked his fork up and you didn’t hesitate to do the same. Your first bite was amazing.
“Dude, this is awesome. I didn’t know you could cook!” You complimented. “I’ve been living off of TV dinners and Dick’s ‘experiments’ for the past two years.”
“He’s not good?” Jericho asked with a chuckle.
“In his defense, he’s getting better.” You shrugged. The small talk went on for a while, then the oven beeped.
“It needs to cool before I put frosting on.” He told you. “Want to listen to some music?”
“Oh!” You jumped. “I left something for you in my car. Be right back!” You rushed outside and grabbed the record, bear, and chocolate and ran back inside. “Tada!”
“Is that...” He stopped as you handed him the Sinatra record.
“Frank Sinatra’s greatest hits?” You finished for him. He immediately put in on the record player and it started playing I’ve Got You Under My Skin. Jericho held his hand out for you and spun you around. You and him danced for what felt like an eternity. After a while, he decided it was time to finish the cake, so you took that time to text the Titans. “All’s well here. Will text you guys soon and let you know if I’ll be back tonight. <3”
“Ready for cake and a movie?” Jericho had asked you. He had a plate of cake in each hand, you gladly took a slice and sat on the couch. He popped in a DVD and some Vince Vaughn movie started playing. You laughed a little and took a bite of the cake. “This is all my mom had.”
“I’m not complaining. You lifted your arms up as he tried to cover the both of you up with a super fuzzy blanket. The rest of the night was spent cuddling and watching movies until you both fell asleep. You may have forgotten to text the Titans...
