Valentine's Day 2007
Brendon shakily picked up his purple pencil and started writing onto a crumpled piece of paper, pouring his heart into every word.
He didn't have much money, but he still wanted to give Ryan something special for Valentine's Day.
He pulled a piece of paper from his college notebook and found a pencil in his drawer, hoping that a simple letter would be enough to make Ryan smile.

Brendon and Ryan sat on their shared beds, their legs crossed.
"What were you so eager about showing me, B?" Ryan asked, putting his hands in his lap. Brendon smiled and pulled out the crumpled piece of paper from his back pocket.
"I know we don't have much money, but I really wanted to give you something for Valentine's this year. I- um- wrote you this little thingie this morning." Brendon replied, handing Ryan the slip of paper.
Ryan unfolded the paper and started reading, nearly bursting into tears two sentences in.
Dear Ry,
I love you a lot, but you already know that. I've never been good at writing, but I'll try today.
George Ryan Ross III, the day I met you I could barely control myself because god damn, you were stunning.
The day you asked me to eat dinner with you, my heart skipped a beat because I NEVER thought someone as perfect as you would find me bearable.
I'm running out of time because you get home in a bit, but i guess I'll conclude this thing.
I love you. I love you more than there are stars in the sky. I love you more than any word can say.
Happy Valentine's Day, darling.
Love, Brendon <3
After reading, Ryan wiped a tear from his right eye and quickly wrapped his arms around Brendon, pulling him into a tight hug.
"Fuck, you're amazing." He whispered, placing a kiss on Brendon's scalp. "I love you too."
