A/N: This was the fic I originally posted for Valentine's Day, then took down to replace it with my story What is Love? I think it still has potential, and I didn't want to leave it sitting in my drive waiting to be published much longer.
It still starts on Valentine's Day. If you already read it, there are a few edits.
Here's some almost NoCo but not quite for your enjoyment(or not.) I understand there may be some gaps in the story, but I am working on it. I kind of want to make it multiple chapters, but it doesen't have to be if y'all think I shouldn't continue it.
I know this could be better written. Don't hate on me.
Enjoy!
For the sake of this story, Valentine's Day is on a Friday, instead of a Tuesday.
Valentine's Day. A day for hearts, flowers, chocolate, hugs, kisses, X's, O's, and love for most. Not for Noah.
For Noah, Valentine's Day was just a day where couples go on overly expensive dates, buy each other pointless gifts, and are lovey dovey on public display. Ugh. What a pointless holiday.
Of course, Noah had never had anyone to be with on Valentine's Day. In his first two years in high school, he'd just hung around, watching all the idiots surrounding him fall hopelessly in love with someone. He'd had his nose in a book the whole time, not even looking up at all the affection spreading through the halls,
Now, no one would stop to talk to or even look at him, and see the tortured, lonely soul sitting on the floor of the junior hallway during a break in classes. That is, until someone decided to look for him...
"Hey, Noah! Whatcha readin'?" The new figure sat down next to Noah. Noah didn't know the guy's name, he didn't really care enough to keep track of those, but he seemed ok.
L"Nothing, just an essay some conservative imbecile wrote about how climate change isn't real."
"Why would you feel the need to read that? Any sensible person knows that climate change is real."
"Exactly. It's fairly amusing to read their idiotic reasoning."
"Heheh." He revealed a gap in his front two teeth as he laughed. "Hey, can I read it later, when you're done? I know you'll finish it within the hour."
"Sure. But, don't you have other stuff to do? It is Valentine's Day, and you don't seem to be the type to sit around and do nothing."
"Nah, Gwen rejected me for the tenth time. And is now dating Duncan."
"Wow. Tough break." Noah had no idea who this guy was talking about
"Yeah."
Silence.
"Hey, do you want to come over later? I just got a new game on my Xbox. It seems like your forté."
Noah was stunned. No one ever asked him to do anything ever. He usually kept to himself on the weekends, reading fanfiction, watching YouTube, or gaming on his PC for hours on end.
"S-sure! I'll come over. When?"
"6 good? I can ask my mom to order a pizza for us or something."
Us? Was this for real? Or was he dreaming? "Cool, I'll be there." Noah then realized something. "Wait, I don't know where you live."
"I'll text you my address."
"Ooh. I kind of don't have a phone…." Noah had begged his parents for one, but having seven older siblings and one younger can leave little money left over for new technology.
"I'll write it down." The figure pulled a piece of paper out of his notebook and scribbled. He handed it to Noah. "See you then!" The figure stood up and walked away.
Noah looked at the note. He smiled.
