I do not own any Assassin's Creed characters except for Moira!

Sweet dreams had danced around in the female Assassin's mind as she slept. Though something felt off about this particular morning. Moira shifted in her bed and brought the sheets closer to her body since she felt a chill in the room. Wrinkling her nose, she slowly opened her eyes to see that her fiance was not asleep next to her and that the window was wide open. Groaning, she placed her hand over her eyes then sighed.

"Jacob," Moira replied in an exasperated tone.

She hated when Jacob would leave her like this in the morning. She knew that he didn't do it on purpose since he was out on missions a lot but she still hated it. Sighing again, she pulled on her robe then head downstairs to make some tea and breakfast. Ever since her father passed away, Moira lived in his home all alone but when Jacob and her started courting, he would spend the night at her place to keep her company. She loved waking up with Jacob holding her in his strong arms and keeping her warm. She even loved it when his muttonchops would tickle her neck. She would feel alone whenever he would leave her either in the middle of the night or early in the morning.

After her breakfast, Moira dressed in her Assassin wardrobe and headed out to go and do her own errands before she would go and find Jacob. She had to pick up the presents she had specially ordered for Jacob and one she ordered for Evie. She wanted this Valentine's Day to be special since it would be the first Valentine's they would spend as an engaged couple. She spent the last few weeks saving up the money she had earned from jobs just so she could make this day memorable. She walked into the photo studio where she had a photo taken of herself and placed into a special frame lined with velvet. After picking up the photo, she headed towards a shop that had the best cards for lovers where she had the cards made. Both cards were made with special paper and intricate lace adorned the edges of the heart shaped cards. Once she purchased the cards, she stuck them in her coat pocket so if she ran into either of the twins, they wouldn't find out about her surprise for them.

Moira stopped by a nearby park to sit and admire the beautiful day. It was a bright and surprisingly warm day and the couples in the park were taking advantage of the nice weather. The Assassin smiled at all the sweethearts who exchanged cards and shared kisses. She couldn't help but let out a sigh as she thought about Jacob. She hoped he didn't forget today. Last year, he went all out to make it special for her but today, he seemed too distracted to be with her at all.

After a bit, Moira stood up to exit the park and leave all the lovers to their joyous day. Walking along the street, she looked into the shops and restaurants to see more couples. This was supposed to be a day filled with love and happiness but she felt so alone. Fighting back tears, Moira decided to head to his home and see if he was there. Continuing on her path, she tried to ignore all the happy couples and their giggling but it was difficult. Arriving at Jacob and Evie's home, Moira knocked on the door only to be greeted by Evie.

"Moira, what a pleasant surprise," Evie greeted happily.

"Hello, Evie dear,"Moira chirped as she smiled gently, "Is Jacob here by any chance?"

"I'm sorry but he isn't," Evie replied with a slight frown.

"O-oh... do... you know where he is?" Moira queried hopefully.

"I do not," Evie answered, "He came home for a little bit this morning then left quickly without a word."

"I see..." Moira replied sadly and looked down.

Evie saw the unhappy look on her face then placed a hand on Moira's shoulder, "I am sure he has something planned. He may be an idiot but he couldn't forget today."

Moira laughed then looked back up at Evie, "You're right. Thank you, Evie."

"I am sure he will turn up soon," Evie piped up to try and help Moira be happy.

"Thank you again, Evie," Moira said then realized she nearly forgot something, "I have something for you."

Evie quirked a brow and wondered what the younger girl had to give her. She watched as Moira pulled a paper bag out of her pocket then pulled out a Valentine card. Moira presented Evie with the card to which Evie greatly accepted.

"Thank you so much, Moira," Evie said with a smile then hugged her close, "Happy Valetine's Day."

"Happy Valentine's Day, my dear," Moira replied while hugging Evie back then looked at the older Frye twin, "I must be going."

Both of them said their good-byes and Moira decided to head home. Maybe Jacob will surprise her when she gets back which made her even more excited. Evie was right; he had to have had something planned. Arriving home, she walked in to see that it was the same as she left it when she went out this morning. She figured she would check around her home and hopefully find out if Jacob was just being sneaky with his gifts. After nearly twenty minutes of searching for any card or chocolate or even a flower, nothing had turned up. She tried to to let it get to her but Moira couldn't help but let a few tears fall from her blue eyes. Letting out a shaky breath, she headed towards her bedroom in despair. She laid down on her bed and held her pillow close as more tears flowed. Many thoughts ran through her head as to why Jacob hasn't done anything for her today. Did she do something wrong? Did she upset him and not realize it? Her eyes grew heavy while thinking these horrible thoughts then fell asleep.

Something sweet wafted through the air which made Moira slowly wake up. Rubbing her sore eyes, she sat up and looked on her nightstand to see tulips, heliotropes and altheas. Jacob? Gazing at the flowers, she was astounded since each flower had a meaning of love. Tulips are a declaration of love, heliotropes were devoted affection and altheas were consumed by love. She picked the flowers and smelled them. They were absolutely incredible. She held them close to her as she quickly jumped out of bed to go downstairs.

'Please be here... please...' Moira begged internally.

As she reached the bottom of the stairs, she heard the fireplace crackle with a fire which gave her hope. She approached the living room to see Jacob tending to the fire. She felt her heart leap when she laid eyes on him and wanted to cry. He was actually here. Jacob was also dressed in a nicer shirt, waistcoat and pants than he usually wore. He looked up to see Moira and smiled at her while getting up. She placed the flowers on an end table as she made her way to him. He took her into his arms to hold her close to him as she did the same.

"Happy Valentine's Day, love," Jacob whispered.

Moira bit her lip as some tears slipped through her eyes, "I thought you have forgotten..."

"How could I? It's a day where I can show you how much more I love you than I normally do," Jacob replied as he pulled away a little to wipe her tears away, "I'm sorry I took so long with my plans, love, and to make you wait this long."

"I'm just so happy you are here," Moira sniffled as she set her forehead against his to look into his dark eyes.

Jacob placed a hand on her cheek as he pressed his lips to hers in a deep, passionate kiss. Moira responded to his liplock only to feel herself melt against him. He pulled back slightly to look into her eyes.

"I have something special for you," Jacob mentioned as he left her arms. He walked over to his coat and pulled out something that piqued Moira's interest. He returned to her with the gifts behind his back and a smirk on his face, "What do I get in exchange?"

Moira giggled, "Oh, a few things but first."

She leaned up to place a chaste kiss on his lips. Jacob smirked more into the kiss as he deepened it. Moira pulled back to reach into her coat pocket to pull out her gifts to him. They exchanged their presents with each other as both of them feeling like children on Christmas. Moira looked at the beautiful card that he had given her with an inscription that was from one of her favorite books along with how much he loved her.

Love is a sweet idolatry, enslaving all the soul,

A mighty spiritual force, warring with the dulness of matter,

An angel-mind breathed into a mortal, though fallen yet how beautiful

All the devotion of the heart in all its depth and grandeur.

You are my life and my only love. I am devoted to you and cherish you with all of my being. I love you more than words can say, dearest Moira.

Love,

Jacob

She held back tears of happiness as she turned her attention to his other gift which looked exactly like the photo she had gotten for him. She opened it to see a photo of him and on the velvet part of the frame was a lock of his brunette hair. She felt him take her into his arms and Moira looked up at him to see him smiling softly at her.

"Great minds think alike," Jacob replied.

"I guess so but I forgot something," Moira said.

"What's that?" Jacob asked curiously.

Moira pulled back then grabbed one of her knives from her coat only to cut off a piece of her hair. She walked over to the dried marigolds that were next to her father's photo on the fireplace. She untied the ribbon that held the dried out flowers together so she could tie the hair together. She walked back over to Jacob and placed her lock of hair into the picture she gave him.

"There, now it's complete," Moira said as she looked into his eyes.

Jacob smiled then set his gifts onto the end table with her flowers before taking her into his arms. He set his forehead against hers so he could gaze into her eyes more. Moira could see so much love and devotion in his eyes at this moment. She loved this man more than life itself and felt so lucky to have him as hers. She placed a hand on his cheek and traced the scar lightly with her thumb. Jacob planted a kiss on her palm before brushing his lips against hers gently. Moira loved every second of this of him being this close and making her heart beat quicker.

"I love you more than anything, Moira..." Jacob whispered as his lips brushed against hers as he spoke.

Moira closed her eyes with a smile, "I love you more than anything, Jacob."

He sealed their love spoken words with a breathtaking kiss. Moira's fingers ran through his silky hair while Jacob placed a hand on the back of her head to kiss her deeper. Moira had wanted Valentine's Day to be perfect this year. It wasn't perfect; it was absolutely divine.

A/N: Thanks for reading the cheesiness XD Also I did a lot of research for the chapter! From the Valentine's cards which were HUGE in Victorian London, to the tradition of lovers giving a lock of hair to each other and even reading up on flowers. Also the message in Jacob's Valentine card was an excerpt from Martin Tupper's "Proverbial Philosophy" which is an excellent read! Hope you enjoyed!
