MHA #6, Valentine's Day Evening

[arboreal_priestess]

It was Valentine's Day and while it wasn't their first Valentine's Day together, the last one had still been early enough on that neither of them had really known what they were doing. As a couple. This time, however, 'I love you's' had been exchanged and so had keys, he'd met her family, he hadn't run screaming from her family, and he'd even rescued her from a snake cult. Those were a lot of relationship milestones right there, even if some were Price-exclusive.

So tonight she'd sent the mice off to gorge on cake and cheese in their closet in the spare room, turned the lights to dim, turned some slow music on, and started cooking dinner. The one flaw in her holiday plans so far was that she'd naively assumed that 'an ability to cook basic food' meant that she was fully qualified to cook elaborate romantic meals.

She was vastly learning that this was in error.

"What? Emulsify? I've got a spatula and a slotted spoon, how the hell am I supposed to do that?!"

[For the boyfriend!]

Verity leaned in for a kiss. "No one's ever seen you the way I do," she said.

Liam tilted his head down to meet her for that kiss.

"I know," he murmured against her lips. "Most days, I still can't believe how lucky I am that we found each other."

"Considering how hard I fought coming out here, I have to agree," Verity murmured. "And yet it's changed my whole life."

"You wouldn't be you if you didn't put up a fight," Liam grinned. "But I'm glad Fandom won out."

"So am I," Verity admitted. "I found way more of a home here than I was ever expecting."

And so much of that was because of Liam.
