It was nearing close to Valentine's Day, never really caring for the day since I was always on my own for every single one.
Never having a partner and then suddenly having what I think was one was definitely a huge change, what do I even do?
Who can I even ask for help?
Reiner's no help I don't even think he's been in a relationship before either.
Fuck sake am I literally going to ask my mum?

I slumped myself to my mums room, knocking before swinging the door open to see her sat by her desk
"What's up pumpkin?" She spun in her chair towards me, I groaned leaning against the doorframe picking at the chipped paint that crumbled under my fingertips.
"What did you get dad for Valentine's Day when you two were younger" I sighed, never wanting to ever get relationship advice from my parents, especially from my mother.
Before I knew it she grabbed my arm dragging me close to her
"I knew it! There is a boy!" She squealed as her hands gripped onto my arms, a wide grin was spread across her face Showing her excitement
"I already regret this" I groaned tilting my head back, this was torture.

"Does he like chocolates? Sweets? Does he wear jewellery?" My mum questioned, I stared at her as my mind ran circles realising I didn't really know much about porco, what his favourite food is, what he does to fill the time, god we aren't even dating and i already feel like the worst girlfriend ever.
"Uh.. he really likes this rapper Blackbear? And umm chase Atlantic?"
My mum looked at me confused as her grip on my arms loosened, her eyebrow raising as she chuckled
"You don't know shit about this boy do you?"
Fuck. She knows.
I gulped and looked away itching the back of my neck, even if he's a massive dumbass I want to be nice to him at least once I can't be a bitch all the time.
"Just help me okay."

It was finally Valentine's Day, there was a lump in my throat as I threw Porco's present into a little gift bag with chocolate, his present was a keyring with the engraving of a Spotify code with all his favourite songs in with one of the only PG photos we have together, by PG it was borderline explicit as we were both in our underwear but it looked cute, it was a mirror photo of us both where I was sat on his lap and his head was buried into my neck with his arms draped around my waist.
I was close to buying him tickets to a concert but thought that was definitely too much for a first Valentine's Day gift, maybe for his birthday if he's not too much of a dickhead.
I tightened my belt as I walked off of the school bus, watching the couples filling the parking lot  attaching themselves to their partners in a cradle of love and euphoria, fucking gross.
"Y/N! Hey!"
Reiner's voice came from his car, I turned to him and walked over noticing a little bag in his hand similar to mine, I raised my eyebrow at the bag as his face heated up.
"Nono it's not for you! I bought myself chocolate for lunch but they only had the Valentine's ones left"
I rolled my eyes and chuckled looking around for Porco, dumbass wouldn't be late today out of all days would he? I'm gonna feel like a right tit if he doesn't show up, carrying a Valentine's present without the Valentine.

"You looking for Porco? He's inside I saw him run in trying to avoid everyone, he's always hated Valentine's Day" Reiner chuckled, of course he hates Valentine's Day, and my dumbass got him something on a day he hates, I should just go home and say I was ill.
God I'm so fucking stupid.
"Y/N stop stirring just go see him, trust me"
Reiner placed his hand on my shoulder to reassure me, made me turn up my nose in disgust, god I'm getting softer cause of that boy.
"Okay okay, Thanks Reiner" I held his hand for a moment before walking in the halls, my eyes instantly looking for Porco as I scanned the lockers passed the multiples of couples spread through the hallway.
I turned the corner walking towards my locker before seeing him stood there with a couple of his mates there, Colt noticing me first and giving him a nudge before they left Porco alone.

I walked over to Porco and noticed the bouquet he had in his hand with a small bag in the other, flowers?
"Uh happy Valentine's? I guess?"
Porco held his hand out with the flowers, my eyes scanned the bouquet seeing it be a mixture of roses, gladiolus and mauve carnations.
Gladiolus' meaning strength, mauve carnations meaning desire and lust, horny fucker.
"I love them, thank you um.. here's yours"
I handed him the bag as I held the flowers close, their smell lingered around me and filled my nostrils.
I watched Porco rip open the wrapping and look closely at the keyring, scanning the code with his phone and his face froze before creeping up a smile
"This is perfect, I love this photo of us"
My eyes peeked over the flowers, hiding my face in them trying to not show my embarrassment.
"Here I got you these aswell" Porco handed me the giftbag, I hugged the flowers under my arm as I opened the bag seeing a smaller velvet box
I glanced back up at him confused and opened it seeing a (Favourite/Colour) diamanté ring, the band was silver and was decorated by miniature vines swirling around the gem.
"I remember you said you don't wear necklaces much, so I got you a ring so you could still show it off"
Porco itched the back of his neck, my face flushed a bright red as I stared at the ring in shock, is this what normal people in relationships get?
It was weird.
I slipped the ring on my finger and continued staring at it, it fit perfectly.
