Superstore Fic: Jonah After “I Love You”
(Based on Jonah, Amy, and Dina’s Valentine’s dinner following 4x13)
(I know there have been a few episodes since, but I can’t stop thinking about this ep)
That night after work, Jonah found himself sitting in Super Tofu with Amy and Dina. On Valentine’s Day. His big Valentine’s date with his (Girlfriend? Partner? Main squeeze?) was being spent in a tofu restaurant with his assistant manager. And contrary to Dina’s claim, he still had not gotten used to the smell. He had to fight not to gag on the stench of his vegetarian meal.
But as he looked across the table and caught Amy’s eye, he realized none of that mattered. He was with Amy, and he was in love. And she loved him back.
Jonah reflected on the long road it took to get them here. When they first met at Cloud 9. When, after he spend the majority of his day sticking glow-in-the-dark stars to the ceiling of the store, the lights went off. Under the starlight, she was suddenly all he could see.
He remembered the day of the tornado when she kissed him and the catastrophe going on around them was very present but also somehow so, so distant.
He remembered the day in the photo lab when he kissed her. When they finally both let go and he knew nothing would ever be the same.
He remembered earlier today, on Valentine’s Day, when Amy told him she loved him. And when he said it back.
Before he started working at Cloud 9, Jonah was lost with no direction. Now he has a job, a best friend, and a woman who loves him. Now he does not have to look far to find those moments of beauty.
