The Only Exception // Klatia
He didn't know which was more pathetic- that he had never truly experienced Valentines day before, or that he hadn't the slightest clue on how to properly celebrate the occasion with his love. Sure, he could do all of the things he often saw couples on the television do (Tatia was always watching the blasted thing, so a few times he was forced in viewing a few odd programs she happened to choose)- There were usually chocolates, roses, and a date involved. But Tatia was no ordinary woman, and if he were going to attempt to be romantic for a day, he wanted it to be spectacular for his little bird. In the middle of his quiet ponderings, the hybrid realized that if he were to shower his love in all of the things typical of the holiday, Tatia would stare at him as if he'd sprouted an extra head out of his neck (unless, of course, the television had managed to ruin the surprise of this holiday for her). Excitement dared to fill Nik as he considered this all- considered that he would have to explain the purpose of all these things to her. Yet his favorite part of the entire event, was that he realized they would experience it all together for the first time. It's not like he had ever before thought to celebrate the day with anyone (although it had been an excuse for him to get laid in the past- but that wasn't something he would ever bring up to Tatia). He started the day off by leaving a single rose next to her on the bed- for the moment she stirred from her slumber, and woke to see that he had left it for her. There was a small gift bag next to it, where inside was a box of chocolates (typical, yes, but fail proof), and tiny dress for their little girl (because he couldn't forget about little Emma, who was soon to arrive).
