Hello again guys. So, I thought I might as well write some Valentines stories- not like I've got a better way to spend the evening :3
This will be a series of around 6 oneshots, all put on today, which I may possibly add to in the future. The oneshots are based on prompts I received from a friend who knows absolutely nothing about VA, on the theme of 'Valentines'. Most will be set after the series, some during, and maybe one AU.
So, on with the show :)
6 stories, 6 Valentine's days. One for every year I've been thinking of you x.
#1- Prompt- Rose
Set- After the series.
Quote- 'I'll love you until the last rose withers.'
I opened my eyes to see the golden light of sunset filtering through the window, intensified by the brightness of the snow outside, though that was not what had woken me.
No, that was the feather-light kisses being pressed to my neck, along my shoulder and down my spine.
I shuddered in pleasure, and the pressure changed slightly.
"Happy Valentine's day, love." Dimitri whispered against my skin.
A dopey smile spread over my face, and I turned in his arms to face him.
"Mmm, it is." I hummed.
Putting a finger under my chin, Dimitri tilted my head up to bring his lips to mine.
Wrapped in this blanket of pure bliss, I felt like nothing could break my golden bubble of happiness.
Until Dimitri's alarm went off.
Then, I remembered he was supposed to work today. Only until lunch, but still. No morning... activities.
I groaned, flopping back onto the pillow as he moved to switch the alarm off.
He turned back to me, but I pointedly ignored him.
"Roza, I'm sorry..."
"I'm going back to sleep. Wake me up before you leave."
With that, I turned over, and blacked out.
The next time I woke, about half an hour later, it was because I heard footsteps approaching.
I opened my eyes and sat up as Dimitri walked over with a tray in his hands.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he placed the tray on my lap.
I smiled as I saw what was on it.
Along with all the normal food was heart-shaped eggs, 'I love you' toast, pink grapefruit juice and strawberries. And a flower in a small vase.
I looked up at Dimitri, who was already dressed in his Guardian uniform.
"Aaw, you big romantic softie." I teased.
He smiled back. "For you, yes. And there's more where that came from."
He kissed me once on the lips and once on the forehead before I could ask what he meant, grabbing his duster and heading for the door.
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I love you."
I mumbled a reply around a mouthful of toast, before devouring the rest of the food.
When I had finished, relaxed in bed for a little longer, enjoying the warmth of my bed, before getting up to go shower.
As I did so, I noticed a trail of petals leading to the bathroom. I followed them, and as I opened the door, I was met by a soft cloud of steam.
Closing the door behind me, I looked around the huge bathroom, which was lit by a dozen candles.
Walking to the edge of the massive bath, I could see little spa-lights floating in the steaming water, surrounded by more of the rose petals.
Man, Dimitri did good.
After a deliciously long soak, I reluctantly stepped out of the now lukewarm water, wrapping up in a fluffy towel.
As I opened my wardrobe door to find some sweats and a hoodie to wear, I was surprised to see a long red satin dress hanging there that I had no recollection of.
Pulling it out, I saw a label attached to the hanger.
For later x it said, and I hung it back where I found it, pulling on what I had originally been looking for.
So, was Dimitri taking me out on a date later? I hoped so.
Anticipating this, I sat on the sofa and painted my nails, flicking through some magazines that were stacked by the sofa that I hadn't put there.
I spent the next hour this way, and was pleasantly surprised when I saw that Dimitri only had another hour and a half until he was free of work.
I caught up on some TV I had missed, and was just walking to the kitchen when I saw something on the windowsill that definitely wasn't there earlier.
Next to the window that I hadn't realised was open a crack, stood a vase of 12 roses.
Sticking my nose into the blooms, I inhaled their gorgeous scent. That was when I noticed the card lodged inside.
I opened it to find Dimitri's perfect writing.
I'll love you until the last rose withers.
I smiled as I noticed that a flower right in the middle of the bunch was synthetic, and sighed in contentment.
"Comrade." I whispered, and magically, a few seconds later I felt a pair of muscular arms slide around my waist.
"They're beautiful." I told him, leaning back into Dimitri's chest.
"They're alright" He replied. "But they're nothing compared to my Rose."
OK, next chapter will be up really soon. Like, as fast as I can type it :) Happy Valentine's day everyone!
