As Valentine's Day dawned, Matsu, Calie, and Marie found themselves eagerly anticipating the day's festivities. Their close-knit group had planned a special celebration to honor their bonds of friendship and love.

The morning began with Matsu surprising Calie and Marie with heart-shaped pancakes drizzled with syrup and adorned with fresh strawberries. As they sat around the breakfast table, laughter and chatter filled the air, setting the tone for the day ahead.

"I can't believe you made these, Matsu! They look amazing," exclaimed Calie, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Marie nodded in agreement, reaching for a pancake. "Yeah, they're almost too pretty to eat," she said with a grin.

Matsu chuckled, feeling a sense of satisfaction at their reactions. "Well, I figured we could use a sweet start to the day," he replied, pouring himself a cup of coffee.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Angelo and Orca, followed by Terry and Jackie, entered the apartment, each carrying a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates.

"Happy Valentine's Day!" they chorused, their voices filled with warmth and affection.

Matsu, Calie, and Marie exchanged surprised glances before breaking into smiles. "You guys didn't have to do all this," Calie said, her heart warmed by their thoughtfulness.

Angelo grinned, handing Calie a bouquet of red roses. "We wanted to show our appreciation for the incredible friendship we share," he said, his gaze meeting Orca's lovingly.

Orca nodded, her fingers tracing the delicate petals of a white lily. "And besides," she added with a smile, "what better way to celebrate love in all its forms than with the people we care about most?"

Terry and Jackie stepped forward, presenting Marie with a bouquet of colorful wildflowers. "You've always been there for us, Marie," Terry said, his voice tinged with emotion. "We wanted to thank you for your unwavering support and friendship."

Jackie nodded in agreement, offering Marie a small box of chocolates. "You mean the world to us," she said, her eyes shining with sincerity.

Marie blinked back tears of gratitude, feeling overwhelmed by the outpouring of love from her friends. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "I don't know what I'd do without you all."

As they gathered around the table, exchanging gifts and stories, Matsu couldn't help but feel a sense of deep gratitude for the people who had become his family. In that moment, surrounded by laughter and love, he knew that there was nowhere else he'd rather be.

And as the day unfolded, filled with shared moments of joy and affection, Matsu, Calie, and Marie found themselves cherishing the bonds of friendship that had brought them together. For on this Valentine's Day, love wasn't just about romantic relationships—it was about the connections we share with those who hold a special place in our hearts.

As the couples settled into their lovey-dovey moments, Angelo wrapped his arms around Orca, whispering sweet nothings into her ear as they swayed gently to the soft music playing in the background. Terry and Jackie exchanged tender kisses, their fingers intertwined as they shared whispered promises of everlasting love.
