Tord followed Tom into the store. He stared around at the bright red cards and balloons.

And chocolate boxes.

"So, Tom. Why did we come here again?"

Tom poked at a balloon. "So you can see some more culture. You haven't really been out of the house that much."

Tord nodded. "I suppose you are correct."

He grabbed a rose and sniffed it. He thought for a second. "Tom.." He started.

Tom made a "mhm" noise, still looking at different items.

"Why is all this Valentine's Day stuff red?"

Tom looked at him, a small smile appearing. "Because red is the color of love, or rather passion."

Tord looked down at his hoodie. It was red.

"So, then, is that why you gave this to me?"

Tom took a second to process what the other was saying. When it finally clicked, his face turned a bright crimson.

"What?! N-no. I just thought it would be nice-" He cut off, noticing that Tord had a big smirk on his face.

"You're terrible, you know that?"

Tord just widened his smile and pointed at a heart shaped box.

"Can we get some candy?"

Tom couldn't help but smile as well. "Sure, Turd."

"What?"

"Nothing."
