Hello everyone! As I start writing this, it is nearly 11 PM. I just watched Edge of Seventeen and no, I'm definitely not crying. I also totally didn't have a seizure when I realized that Alexander Calvert was in it (because we stan him so hard honestly) but I kinda don't want to sleep and I actually have a keyboard for once so I figured, "hey, I won't be sad about this movie anymore if I do something completely different like write aonshot." So in honor of Valentine's day, I'm gonna put all my other crap aside to write some piece of garbage because dealing with emotions is for wimps. (Mood for 2kBiTeen but please don't hide your feelings yall)

Without further ado, a Valentine's Day one-shot with little to no effort put into making an original storyline. Roman is a sad and lonely boi but only leading up to February 14th

Roman's POV

Sure, Valentine's Day is tomorrow, but does every single store need to assault me with candy hearts and chocolates just to remind me of how single I am? I think it's rude. I usually love holidays because you spend them with your favorite people, but Valentine's Day is different. You have to go and find someone to hold hands with for the day because family and friend relationships aren't always enough. It doesn't make sense and I think it's biased against me personally who somehow cannot find a date any time of the year, which also seems insane.

I realized that I probably looked like some crazed maniac, staring at the candy all grouped together in bright pink boxes flaunting hearts and cherubs and such. I snapped out of my bitter trance and grabbed the cheapest box of chocolates I could find. It was some off-brand thing but I didn't care. It was the dollar store, after all. I didn't have any plans for Valentines Day so I was taking the opportunity to curl up on the couch and eat the least expensive chocolates and ice cream I could find and cry while watching rom-coms because isn't that what this holiday is truly about?

I walked up to the register where some tired looking kid wearing a green vest was looking at his phone. I cleared my throat to get his attention before setting down the box of chocolates on the small conveyor. I decided to get an extra Hershey bar just for good luck. He rang me up and I handed him two dollars and walked out. It took most of my willpower to keep from eating some of the chocolate on the way home and I still had to wait until tomorrow night to eat it all in one go.

When I got home, I set the chocolate in the fridge so it wouldn't melt, and then I flopped down on the couch. There was no harm in getting a head start on cheesy rom-coms, was there? I was about to start up Love, Actually or something when my phone buzzed. I set down my remote and saw a text from Patton light up my screen.

Patton:

Hey, Roman, do you have any plans for tomorrow?

Y'know, Valentines Day and all?

Roman:

Nope

Patton:

Do you want to do a double date with me and Logan?

I panicked. I didn't have anyone to go with but I didn't want to be rude.

Patton:

Wait, do you have anyone to go with? If you don't that's fine

Roman:

Nonono I have a boyfriend I'll ask him

What was I doing??? I don't have a boyfriend! Why the hell did I type that?!

Patton:

Oh, cool, let me know.

I took a minute to calm down because my brain wasn't properly functioning yet. Whatever had possessed me to tell Patton I had a boyfriend had left control of my brain and nothing else had taken over yet.
