Happy Valentine's Day, everybody :D Will thy be my Valentine?
Lol, seriously. I don't have a Valentine :P Again. Ehh, maybe next year :) Enjoy!
Chapter 1- Mirana/Tarrant
Mirana
"Happy Valentine's Day," I whispered through my unshed tears, shoving the letter at him and calmly turning my back. He had been cheating on me…how long? How long had he planned to keep this going? To suit a princess and see another was not considered gentleman-like…but he never was the gentleman, I suppose. It was especially ungentlemanly to cheat on a princess with her own sister.
"I gave him my heart, a letter, everything in me…and he tells me this?" I whisper-shouted to myself angrily, blinded by my tears. I reached the kitchen, threw open the door and slammed it shut, crouching down in the corner before finally bursting into sobs. It was only 10 am and it had already been one hell of a Valentine's Day.
"Princess? Are you alright?" I looked up to see the Hatter's son standing in front of me. Tarrant had always been a good friend to me- listening to my rants, calming me when I was angry, and, best yet, he let me be me. Not many others did that for me.
"I'm fine. Please, Tarrant, call me Mirana. It makes me ever so happy when you do." He smiled and sat down beside me, pulling me into a tight hug. He straightened out my disheveled hair and let me cry into his chest. Stayne had been the one man that I'd actually wanted to marry.
"Hey, Mirana, don't worry. I bet you'll find another Valentine. Heck, I'll be your Valentine." I chuckled a little at the thought, but when I looked at him, he looked hurt.
"Oh, Tarrant, I hadn't realized you were…serious," I said softly, resting a hand on his cheek. I smiled. Maybe he could be my Valentine. "Were you?"
"Quite," he whispered. "Mirana, I've loved ye fer a long time."
"And I, you," I said back, not thinking. I guess I'd always loved him, in some way or another.
"Happy Valentine's Day, love," he whispered. I rested one hand on his shoulder and pulled him into me, giving him a gentle kiss on the lips.
