===== (Y/N's P.O.V)

"Almost done..." I finished twisting the twist ties together, wrapping the long chain around the bouquet of fake roses I had sitting on my desk. I'd arranged them half and half style, half red and half white. Just for Todoroki. I sat back and admired the work, suddenly doubtful,

"Will he like that they're red and white like this? Will he be offended? Will he pretend to like them? " I considered rethinking my present, but stopped myself,

"He's gonna like it. Yeah. He's gonna fucking love it." There was still an inkling of doubt, but I ignored it. I wrapped the bouquet in tissue paper and looked at the Build-A-Bear I'd also gotten him. I pushed the little heart button on the paw, smiling as my voice spilled from the little speaker,

"I'm so crazy about you, Shoto. In every sense. The way you laugh and smile, your patience, your passion, all of it. I am SO lucky to have you. So lucky. You do so much for me and you just keep giving. My heart is and will always be yours. Happy Valentine's Day, Todoroki." There was a knock on our shared bedroom door,

"Baby?" My eyes went wide as I shoved everything off of the desk,

"O-One second..." Knocking again,

"Is everything okay?" I packed the gifts into a box and shut it, shoving it underneath the bed,

"Everything... is... FINE!" I ran to the door and opened it,

"Hey, babe." I blocked his way into the room. He looked down at me and leaned down, pecking my forehead,

"Hello..." He tried to walk in, but I pushed against him,

"You're home early. You told me you'd be out all day." He smiled,

"Change of plans." I smiled back, bursting into giggles. His smiled widened,

"Are you hiding something?" I shook my head, giving in,

"You can't be hereee." He laughed a little, leaning against the doorframe,

"Why not?" I pouted playfully,

"Cause you're gonna ruin the surprise." I pushed him out of the room and closed the door,

"I'll call you when I'm done!" He knocked on the door,

"Surprise?" I could hear the smile on his face,

"Y/N, come on!" I laughed,

"No!" I could feel him pushing the door. I sat against it,

"Stop it!" He laughed from the other side,

"But-" I opened the door, playfully scowling at him,

"When I'm done, we can cuddle and get dinner and whatever you want, but right now I need you to go away." I kissed his cheek and closed the door. I could still hear him laughing,

"I love you, Y/N!" I tapped on the door 3 times,

"I love you too, Todo!"

~Todoroki's P.O.V~

I trudged to the living room and turned on the T.V, flopping on the couch. I wasn't even paying any attention to the show, I was too busy thinking aimlessly. I heard the bedroom door open and Y/N bounced out, laying on top of me,

"Gift time, my love." She kissed my cheek. I rolled over a little bit and pulled her in next to me,

"No. Cuddle time." She giggled and settled in,

"Fine with me." So we cuddled for an hour or so. Enough time for Y/N to nap and wake up,

"Hey, I'm hungry." I kissed her head,

"I'm in the mood to cook." She was suddenly wide awake, pulling me into the kitchen,

"Can we make Chicken Alfredo?!" She was clattering pots and pans together, pulling silverware out of drawers and slamming cabinets. I leaned against the refrigerator and smiled,

"I'm okay with that." She was smiling as she gathered the ingredients. She turned to me and I took in how beautiful she was. How her smile lit up her face. How bubbly she got when she was excited. I was so in love with this girl. She was starting on the pasta, looking over at me,

"Are ya gonna help or just stare at me the whole time?" I pushed off of the fridge and walked up behind her, wrapping my arms around her hips. I rested my chin on her head,

"Is this enough help?" I laughed a little. She giggled,

"Perfect. You're doing great."

~Y/N's P.O.V~

He looked up at me halfway through dinner,

"Gift time?" I smiled,

"I'm okay with that." He stood from the table and disappeared into our bedroom. When he came back, I pouted,

"Where were you hiding that? Why didn't I find it?" He smiled and kissed my head,

"Because I'm a master hider." I got up,

"My turn." I rushed into the bedroom and pulled the box from under the bed. I shoved the bear into a bag and stuffed it full of tissue paper. I grabbed the roses and walked back out. He raised an eyebrow,

"And where were you hiding that?" I smirked,

"You'll never know." I set it down in front of him and he pulled me into his lap,

"Happy Valentine's, Todo." He pulled the bear from the bag,

"Aw, this is so cute..." He pushed the paw, listening intently to the message. When it shut off, I turned to him. He kissed me,

"I love it." He picked up the roses and stared at them for a second, a soft look growing in his eyes,

"I love these so much, Y/N." I smiled wider, making my cheeks hurt,

"I'm glad you love it." I hugged him, resting my head in his shoulder. He rubbed my back,

"Are you gonna open your gifts now?" I giggled and turned. He rested his hands around my waist and watched as I carefully pulled open the wrapped gift on the table. When I got it unwrapped, there was a binder with a picture of us in the front. I quickly flipped through it, realizing it was a photo album. There were hundreds of Polaroids and selfies and candids filling the pages. From our first date together to our most recent photo together, they were all there. I closed it and turned to him,

"This is so cute, Todo. I love it." I hugged him again and kissed his head. He rubbed my back,

"I'm glad you like it." I slid off of him and cleared the table, sitting down to finish dinner.

~Later~

The lights were low as we laid in bed,

"Baby?" I looked up at him,

"Mhm?" He leaned over and kissed me. Long and slow,

"It is Valentine's day..." He flipped over on top of me,

"...And I think we both deserve another nice... present." His lips trailed down my neck and his breath fanned my collar bone,

"It's going to be a nice night, Baby..." He intertwined our fingers, pinning my hands over my head,

"I promise."
