• Be Mine? • Vinny x Emperor! Garmadon

• Requested by nobody but me! Happy early Valentine's Day! •

Third Person POV

Bad idea, Vinny. Bad idea, bad idea, bad idea!!!

Vinny shoved all of the feelings down before taking a deep breath. Garmadon was perfectly still as he rested on the couch. Vinny saw Garmadon's ear twitch, almost as if he heard Vinny creeping up. Because of this, he involuntarily paused to wait for the right time to pounce.

The second his ear relaxed to its natural position, Vinny lunged forward and snatched Garmadon's helmet off of his head, running down the hall with it.

He didn't dare look back; he could already hear Garmadon trailing behind him, which was always an intimidating noise. He could hear the stifled amusement in his voice as he called his name.

"Almost there, almost there," Vinny whispered under his breath.

Before he could reach his destination, two strong arms hoisted him off the ground, eliciting a yelp from him. His back hit the wall as Garmadon pinned him up in the air.

"What's gotten into you?" Garmadon gruffly muttered. "Give it back. Now."

Vinny held the helmet tight against his chest, staring at Garmadon's wild hair. He felt like exploding into giggles at the sight of it. "Why should I? I got it fair and square. Make me," Vinny challenged, trying to push back the fact that his heart was beating dangerously fast.

Garmadon raised an eyebrow at Vinny's change in attitude. He's much more.....timid than this. Then he relaxed his face, curling his lips into a smirk, flicking his eyes up and down Vinny's body. Vinny felt his face growing warmer. This was about to go farther than he anticipated before it even started!

In a swift motion, Vinny gently, but purposefully kicked Garmadon in the knees, making Garmadon drop him. Vinny scurried to the bedroom as fast as his legs could carry him. But as he reached the door, he stopped and looked back to see if Garmadon was following him as he planned.

Garmadon stood still, holding a firm stare into Vinny's eyes. Suddenly, his eyes started to glow purple and he let out a low growl, baring his feet into the wooden floor. Uh-oh.

Vinny frantically gripped the doorknob and whipped the door open, barely managing to get inside before Garmadon ran smack into the door.

Quickly, Vinny put Garmadon's helmet on his head, immediately being weighed down by the heavy piece of headwear. As soon as he sat down on the bed, Garmadon had burst through the door.

Several emotions traveled through Garmadon's face upon crashing into the room.

He stood in silence as he observed the room. First, Vinny, that little weasel, was sitting on the bed, wearing his helmet with a grin. Second, there were what appeared to be rose petals on the bed. Third, there were candles all over the place, lighting up the room and flickering every now and again. Fourth, Vinny looks like he's about to explode......what exactly is going on here?

"What exactly is going on here, Vinny of NGTV News?" Garmadon echoed his thoughts as he approached the practically vibrating, younger man.

Vinny finally laughed as Garmadon took the huge helmet off of his head and set it aside. "Heh, heh! Surprise!"

Garmadon felt his eyebrow raise. Did he forget someone's birthday?

Vinny noticed the confusion on his face. "Haven't you ever celebrated Valentine's Day, Garm?"

Garmadon shook his head, quietly saying, "It feels like I have, but...I don't remember it. Explain it to me?"

Vinny nodded with a smile. "Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate love," He stared into Garmadon's eyes as he spoke. "It could be love for a friend, a family member, or a significant other. It's just a day to express love."

Ah. Love was still a strange concept to Garmadon. Emotions, in general, were complicated to him, and yet he was constantly assailed by them. Now he had to deal with an entire day to deal with them! As Vinny continued to explain about this odd holiday, something hit him harder than how Vinny kicked him earlier.

"Wait a second," He interrupted, making Vinny quickly shut his mouth.

It took a few seconds for him to form the right words, but he finally whispered, "You....you love me?"

Vinny dryly laughed, but once he saw the hopeful gleam in Garmadon's eyes, he realized he wasn't joking. Ever since Garmadon had moved in with Vinny, Vinny could sense the insecurity in him. He just didn't know how bad it had gotten.

Vinny brought a hand up to Garmadon's face, feeling Garmadon slightly jump at the contact.

"Of course, I love you," Vinny said softly. "More than anything."

"'More than anything?'" Garmadon mouthed, to which Vinny nodded. "How? I'm not a....a creature to be deserving of that. I'm..a monster..." Garmadon waved his hands as he gestured to himself.

Vinny stood up on the bed to meet Garmadon at eye-level. He wrapped his arms around Garmadon's neck, clinging to him like a sloth on a tree. He pressed his face into Garmadon's neck, mumbling, "I still love you."

Garmadon returned the hug, guiding Vinny's legs around his waist to hold him closer. Though he would never point it out, Vinny swore he could feel Garmadon's chest vibrating; but like mentioned before, he would never call him out for it for fear of getting his life threatened.

Garmadon lightly tugged at Vinny's shirt, making him pull his head out from the crook of Garmadon's neck.

"So, are there any special traditions for this holiday, Vinny of NGTV News? Anything that led you to decorate the bedroom like this?"

"Uhhhhh......"

(Hello, everyone! Here's my little Valentine's gift from me to you, even if nobody asked for it!

I had lots of fun writing this one. I am not really ashamed to admit that survivalshipping has become my guilty pleasure ship.

Oh, and if anyone is interested, I can send some private, only seen by like two people survivalshipping one-shots that I wrote in my spare time to people. [WARNING: most of them are ~ extra spicy~ ;)))] DM me if you're interested! ;]

So, thanks for reading! I hope you all enjoyed it! I'm glad to say that I'm getting into a better pattern with uploading these things; who knows? Maybe I can keep it up. As always, if there are any typos or dumb stuff in this chapter, please let me know so I can fix it!

Oh, and I didn't go to the mental health evaluation after all; had to reschedule it due to flooding in the building from all the rain, so it'll be in a few weeks before I can get there.

For anyone who wants to listen to the music I listen to whilst writing this stuff, here's my YouTube playlist thing: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwZQprS0cXXPeFYFaPIAcmWir_YQlwt9N Some of these songs are a bit adult-ish, bad language-wise, but most of them are clean! Do with it what you will.

I'll see you guys very soon! Happy Valentine's Day!
