Valentine's Day Sucks: 6/6

Sorry for the long wait! I got bogged down due to schoolwork :( Here is the last part of the saga. But I gave this some thought, and I'll begin posting the (completed) sequel on February :D! When I wake up, there’s something warm and fluffy pressed against my face. I swat it away with both hands, and squint my eyes open. Ethan’s face blurs into view, and I hurl the fluffy thing at him. “Happy Valentine’s Day, Toby.” He laughs. I sit up and glare at him, but then I notice with horror that the thing I just threw at him was the teddy bear I stole the other day. He holds it up and raises an eyebrow, “Does this look familiar?” “Yes.” I don’t recognize my own voice, and I feel my cheeks burning. I’m a thief, caught red-handed. “Well? Say something, Toby.” I pull the blanket over my head and hope the hypothermia kicks in soon enough. To my surprise, he pulls it down. I probably look like shit, but he looks like a Greek God in the morning. He’s naked from the waist down, my jacket hanging loosely over his shoulders. He’s as cold as I am, but the smile on his face could warm up even the coldest room. “You’re craftier than I thought. I shouldn’t have underestimated you.” He tosses the bear back to me, “Happy Real Valentine’s Day.” I look down at the overpriced, brown-eyed satin bear and blurt out, “…what? I don’t get it.” He stands up and his blue eyes shine down at me, “Read the tag, stupid.” I sheepishly glance at the heart-shaped tag on the bear’s ear: To Toby, who I loved since freshman year. PS: I love your eyes. Don’t ever get contacts. I look up at him incredulously, “What about Tiffany? You sent her that gram---” Ethan laughed, “I didn’t send her anything. She sends herself a gram every year. You can ask her, it’s only a secret to those who don’t ask.” He puts his hands on my shoulders, and I can’t help but glance at him, “These last few years been shit, Toby. I loved you since freshman year, and I only dropped you because I couldn’t handle what I was feeling at the time. It took me a while to accept I was gay, and that I loved you. I planned to give this to you and explain it after sixth.” All this time… I thought… “I… Thank you. I never got something like this before, from anyone.” I look back at the bear, and realize that I’ve never been this happy about a stuffed piece of fabric before. I passed a million teddy bears on store shelves, I see a million different people with a million different teddy bears every valentine’s day. But this--- this one’s mine. No one else’s, mine and mine alone. So many emotions are running through me at the same time. For once, I don’t know what to say. All this time… if only I knew. “I… I’m sorry I didn’t get you anything.” When I glance up at him again, he smiles and pulls me into a kiss. “I already have what I want.” Valentine’s day is still my least favorite holiday. It’s a day of overpriced goods and commercialized crap. But it’s also a day I can spend with Ethan… and any day I spend with Ethan is a day I end up loving. And if you don’t like that, fuck you.

I think the best thing about making it into the quote generator is when nobody tells you, so one day you're just scrolling and voila, some phenomenally inane thing that crawled out of your dying synapses and immediately regretted being born the second it made contact with the air has been archived for all time. Or worse, a remark of only average inanity. Never tell me when you've put me in the generator. Pride-tinged regret just doesn't taste the same without the spice of surprise.
