This is dedicated to Kalorii, she plays as Brainy in an RP comm called Luceti (I'm Clark, 'course \D) and that just inspired me for this.

"Valentine's day is pointless."
It had been the fifteenth time that the young coluan had said that. Superman sighed.
"Brainy, some things don't have to make sense to work out."
After hearing that, the blond gave Superman the most bewildered look, as if he had just said the biggest blasphemy ever.
"Oh, don't give me that look."
"Well, pardon me but I fail to see how can that be good. Valentine's day it's just an excuse created by companies to increase their sales, taking 'love' as an excuse for it."
Superman rubbed his temples.
"Even if that might be true, that's not the whole point of this day!" He defended. "Good things happen, it also has its good side, you know. "
Brainac 5 looked unimpressed.
"Name one."
"Chocolates."
"Chocolates aren't good; their high concentration on calories represent a threat for the human body, on high doses it can cause heart attacks, obesity and small eruptions on the consumer's face." Brainy pointed out. "And that's just to mention a few."
"… well, then flowers. Flowers are inoffensive."
"End a being's life with the sole propose to give a death part of nature to somebody. Charming. You can as well give a corpse, to get the same effect." The culuan said, crossing his arms. "That without mentioning the other person might be allergic to it. And before you mention it, people can be allergic to stuffed toys as well; plus the fact that they're just a waste of money and highly useless."
Clark blinked, giving Brainy an 'I can't believe you' look.
"But Brainy, one doesn't go around thinking all that stuff while he or she buys something for the person they like! They do it with the best intention, that's the point! Sure, accidents happen, but you can't go around worrying about that all the time!" Clark tried hard to not to pout, his brows frowned.
"That's exactly my point. If they spent more time thinking they could save themselves many problems."
"But then they won't be living!"
"If I was about to receive something that might harm me in any form, then I'd better don't want them to give me anything."
Superman huffed and quickly tried to think of something witty enough to answer that. Then he smirked as a sudden idea formed on his mind.
Before Brainy could register properly what was happening, Clark already had trapped him on his arms and leaned forward to join their lips together. The young coluan's eyes widened at the contact and his body went stiff for a moment, but before he could manage to make himself return the gesture, the kiss had already ended. Superman let go of him smiling in a rather victorious way.
"If you would've known that was coming, and also thought it might have hurt you… would you have not wanted it still?"
But Brainiac 5 couldn't think of a proper answer for that. He was being too busy trying to make his cheeks stop burning.
"Valentine's Day might be commercial but… it inspires people to do crazy stuff, you know." Clark smiled, putting a hand behind his head and looking to his side as a small tint of pink adorned his face.
There was a long silence before that, suddenly followed by a small cough.
"… that's just one thing good about this day."
"Not enough?"
Smile.
"Very."
