Summary: Ethan and Kristina on Valentine's Day. The next chapter of "Near To You" will be up soon. This is a drabble I wrote for the gh_unwrapped challenge over on LJ. Enjoy!

He tells himself that he asked her to go with him to the Haunted Star party because it meant she would not be with that Kiefer ass. That it was completely innocent, that she was his friend and they were just going to have a good time. That her mother would be there (along with her date the police comissioner) so what harm could there be?

He told himself all of these things, until she entered her living room in a strapless red dress. Ethan was fairly sure his jaw had hit the floor and it appeared he hadn't recovered in time to hide the reaction from Kristina, who was smiling smugly as she crossed the room.

"Shall we?" she asked, and Ethan could only nod and offer her his arm. As they stepped out into the chilly Port Charles evening, Ethan could have sworn he heard Kristina mutter "Best Valentine's Day ever" under her breath and he couldn't stop the smile. Maybe it would be.
