#16- Valentines Day (Perrentes)

happy valentine's day mothers and fuckers of the jury

this is late but whatever

Mike was taking Tony out to dinner. Simple, yes, but it was all he could think of. What else are you and your boyfriend of two months supposed to do on Valentine's Day?

He felt bad, honestly. Tony deserved better than food at some shitty restaurant. So, with that in mind, he had head off down the street to a nearby florist. Flowers are romantic, right?

As he looked, he could find absolutely nothing that sparked his interest. Daisies and roses and other flowers he couldn't name formed in cheap bouquets.

There was one, though. This one was rainbow, probably fake- but what isn't nowadays. Mike smiled to himself. Tony had always been comfortable with his sexuality, so something like this would be perfect.

He picked up the bunch, plastic crinkling and scrunching in his hand, and took it to the counter.

"$15.35 please," the cashier smiled. Mike handed him the money. "It's so nice to see men come in here occasionally, y'know? buying flowers for their girlfriends, its real romantic."

"Ah, well." Mike bit his lip. "They're, ah. For my boyfriend."

The cashier- who's name tag read Dan- frowned. "Hm. Interesting choice but alright."

Mike wanted to scream, but instead nodded wordlessly and walked out with the flowers. He took them back to his college dorm and put them in water.

He grabbed his phone and checked the time- 4:55pm. Tony would be there in just over half an hour.

Mike spent that half hour tidying up his dorm, showering, getting changed and pulling his unruly hair back into a ponytail. There was a knock on his door.

He raced to grab the flowers and took a deep breath. "C-come in!" He called, his voice less confident than he would've liked. The door opened and Tony came in.

His first reaction to Mike standing there with the flowers was shock. Had his boyfriend really done that for him? His second was panic- Tony was seriously allergic to flowers.

He sneezed and felt his throat slowly clog up as he backed away. "Mike," he croaked. "I'm fucking allergic to flowers."

Mike's eyes widened and instantly he ran out the door.

Tony frowned- had his allergy seriously been such a turn off?- but Mike came back in with no flowers in his hands.

He grabbed a box of tissues for Tony and smiled sheepishly. "Lets forget the dinner and flowers and just watch The Princess Bride, yeah?"

Tony was more than happy to not have to socialise with strangers, so he nodded and laughed, though it turned into a cough. "Mike you're so gay."

"So are you, dumbass," Mike laughed as he lay down on the couch, his boyfriend in his arms. "Happy Valentine's day." He whispered.

"Happy Valentine's day," Tony whispered back.
