"Hey. Guess what day it is," Thad asked, lying on top of his friend's bed. "Wes. Wesley. Guess what day it is."

Wes rubbed his eyes. "The capitalist holiday was yesterday, Thad. And David's away anyway. Let me sleep."

"Exactly. Valentine's Day was yesterday, which means today is when all the chocolate and candies go on sale as they try to get rid of them."

"...I didn't think about that. But why are you bothering me?"

"Everyone else has a significant other they're spending time alone with."

"Gee, thanks, Thad. I really needed that reminder," he mumbled.

Thad flicked his forehead. "Shut up, I'm not done. I know you get all sad and mopey when David's gone during times you two usually spend together, so you could use a distraction and inexpensive yet high-quality chocolate."

"Must I?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, did you already have plans today?"

Wes flushed, covering his face with his pillow.

"Yeah, that's what I thought. C'mon, you'll enjoy it once you finally get out of bed." Thad got up, taking Wes by the arm, yanking him out of his bed.

"Ow! You motherfucker," Wes swore, picking himself up off the floor, rubbing his shoulder. "Fine. I'll give you an hour and a half."

"Deal. By then, you'll have lightened up and be enjoying yourself."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Now get out of my room!"

"The timer only starts once we leave your house!" Thad called over his shoulder as Wes pushed him out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

Loverboy

Wes has been awakened and
sufficiently annoyed into
agreeing to go with me, he's
getting ready now

Perfect, I'll definitely be ready
in time, then

You're such a simp. Can't you
just do dinner or a walk on the
beach like a normal person
instead of some giant scavenger
hunt?

If that's what Wes would like, I
would, but c'mon. You know as
well as I do how much he loves
his puzzles

Yeah, yeah. You're both giant
nerds.

You're the one who agreed to
help me before even knowing
what I was planning

Dude, you said "I'm going to
propose to Wes," obviously I'm
in

Actually, I only got to say "I'm
going to pro-" before you
interrupted with something about
it being your duty as future best
man to help

It is!

And you decided in high school
that you'd be our best man.

Look, Wes has no siblings, you
have one sister who'll be the maid
of honor. I introduced you two and
have played wingman for years.
Obviously I'm best man.

Mhm.

Okay fine maybe I'm a giant nerd
too
