Frank stuffed another card back into its spot on the shelf. "So fucking stupid," he muttered.

"What's stupid?" He heard a familiar female voice ask from behind him.

Frank whipped around and saw his friends Leigh and Mikey standing behind him. "Oh, umm, Valentine's Day," he mumbled feeling a blush creeping up his cheeks. "What are you guys doing here?" Frank asked, his tone grumpy.

"It's a grocery store, so we're grocery shopping," Mikey smirked.

"Yea, we're getting things for our Valentine's party, you're coming, right?" Leigh asked with a smile.

"Why do you even have a Valentine's party?" Frank grumbled.

"Because it's an excuse to get together, and make adorable cupcakes and cookies," Leigh grinned as she moved to browse the cards as well.

"Hey Leigh, look at this," Mikey called from down the way.

"That's so cute! You know who that reminds me of? (YN)!"

Hearing (YN)'s name, Frank turned to look. In Mikey's hands was a small pink stuffed llama, but it also had a unicorn horn and wings. What he couldn't see was the knowing look Leigh was giving Mikey.

"Will we see you next weekend for the party Frank?" Leigh asked.

"Maybe," he grumbled.

"Hope to see you there!" She smiled.

Frank watched as they walked away. Leigh was saying something to Mikey and he was smiling before he placed a kiss to the top of her head and wrapped his arm around her waist. They were obviously stupidly in love with each other, so of course they liked the obnoxious holiday. Everything about Valentine's Day was sweetness and pink and glitter, and that only reminded him of one of the many reasons why he didn't like the holiday; It reminded him of (YN). Specifically the fact that he was completely and hopelessly in love with her and she had no idea, and worse yet, would never feel the same way about him.

He went over and picked up the stuffed llamacorn Mikey had set down and couldn't help but smile, thinking of (YN), but his smile faded as he turned back to the shelf of cards, none of which accurately conveying the way he felt for (YN).

(YN) and Leigh were getting brunch the next morning at their favorite spot. Leigh had been holding back telling her friend what she had seen at the grocery store the afternoon before, but couldn't hold back much longer.

"You're coming to the party next weekend, right?"

(YN) sighed. "I don't know, Valentine's day is stupid, I've always hated it. And isn't the party just for couples?"

"No! I mean yea there will be a few couples, but there will be single people too," she paused. "And Frank."

(YN)'s eyes got wide for a moment as she sipped her coffee. "Oh that's nice," she replied, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Yea he was at the store yesterday, looking for a Valentine," Leigh replied, studying her friend's face, but much to her dismay, it fell.

"Oh."

"Come on (YN), I'm sure he was looking for one for you!"

"Why? What luck do I have with regard to guys? Especially guys like Frank?" (YN) grumbled.
