Authors note:
Sorry that it has been like a decade since I last posted. I thought I'd have more time to write in lockdown, and I do, just turns out I have no motivation or ideas. But I have finally given you guys another oneshot. I'm making 2 different ones where Toni is autistic, because MaxxAaronn gave two different ideas for this story. So look out for another update where Toni is autistic soon. I did research into it, so I hope this representation is as accurate as possible. It was quite challenging to write to make it clear that she has autism. Sorry if it sucks. Let me know if there's anything you think I should adapt in preparation for the next part :)

Toni's POV

It was the day I had been waiting for. It was mine and Cheryl's first valentines day as a couple. I was so excited. For weeks I had been thinking of gift ideas. Though it took me a while to choose, because I felt like it wouldn't be as good as what other couples in school get each other, I finally made a decision on what to get her as a main present. I'd also gotten a few small things too. We had agreed to exchange any gifts when we go out on our date. I hope she doesn't think it's too much or worse...not enough. What if she doesn't like it? What if she thinks I've tried too hard? I've tried so hard because honestly, I feel like I'm not good enough for her and that this would make up for it. It may also be because I have never told her about my autism, only because she'll think I'm weird. And so I feel like large gestures might distract me from that. But what if I can never give her what she wants? What if I can't make her happy? I'm just worrying myself. She told me she loves me and that's what counts.

I woke up to my mother giving me a kiss on the head, and telling me I need to get ready. I would have an alarm, but I hate noises that they make. I turned my phone on to see a text from Cheryl.

Cheryl: Good morning beautiful. Happy first valentines day!

Toni: Happy first valentines day to you too :)

Cheryl: I can't wait to see you today. And I'm looking forward to our date later

Toni: yeah me too

It was almost seven o'clock and I went downstairs to get my breakfast. My parents had already given each other valentines cards. My mother handed me my breakfast and smiled. On the plate was two slices of toast, shaped like hearts, with some eggs on top.

"S-seriously mom?" I laughed.

"What? Am I not allowed to show my daughter how much I love her?" She said.

"I'm seventeen. I'm not a kid anymore s-so you don't have to keep doing this." I said.

"But I want to. Oh and honey your father and I are going out after work, so we won't be home until late."

"Okay. I'm going out with Cheryl anyways so that d-doesn't matter."

"That's nice. When will we get to meet this Cheryl girl you are always talking about?" My mother asked. Crap. I keep forgetting that she hasn't met Cheryl and that as soon as she does, she'd know I'm hiding my autism and would be completely disappointed in me.

"Oh-uh soon." I said and looked down at my plate.

After finishing my food, I grabbed my things and drove myself to school. Cheryl and I met up as usual.
