Stanton was kind of weird.

No, scratch that. There was no 'kind of' about it. He was a total weirdo. Everything about him, from his personality to his interest, was just plain odd. He didn't get social cues, he was into nerdy stuff like yipper cards, and he didn't seem to have a filter between his brain and his mouth.

And yet, despite knowing all of this, Bianca couldn't help but get flustered around him.

At first it was only a matter of pride. She could get almost any boy to fall for her easily, but he seemed completely and utterly amused. She wanted to prove she wasn't. To get him to at least show attention towards her. But somewhere down the line she started to realize that that wasn't the only thing she was after anymore.

She actually… felt something towards him.

And she didn't know why!

It wasn't like he was the type of guy she usually found cute. He was the total opposite in fact. With him being interested in all the weird stuff he was, and being so anti-social, he honestly shouldn't have been the least bit interested in him.

But she was.

And today was Valentine's day. Not even he could be dense enough not to get the message… actually no, he might have been. But she was still gonna try anyway. She made her way down the hall, carrying the bag of chocolate she'd made. She'd ended up having to go to her aunt for help making it.

Her father didn't know the first thing about cooking or baking. If it was up to him, their diet would consist of takeout and fast food. Her cousins didn't really know much about it either. Luckily for her, her Uncle Boomer had been able to offer some help. He'd walked her through the steps and helped her as best as he could.

Now it was just a matter of giving it to him and hoping he didn't come out of the mouth with anything stupid like usual.

"Here…"

Stanton blinked as he looked down at the bag she was holding out towards him. She blushed and looked away, an annoyed expression on her face. "What's this?" he asked.

She sighed. Seriously? Did he not even know what today was? Probably not. She couldn't really see him caring about stuff like this. "It's chocolate…" she said. "It's for you. I made it for… well, I made it for me, but I had some left over. So here."

Stanton hummed and reached out and took it. "Oh, okay. Thanks I guess."

He turned and began walking off, but Bianca called out to him. "Esperar! Aren't you going to try any?!" she said in disbelief. She had spent all that time making it, she wanted to at least make sure he tried it! Knowing her luck with him he'd forget it somewhere and not even have a bite.

"Did you want me to?" Stanton asked.

"Yes!"

He flinched. He wasn't sure why this was so important to her, but he didn't want her getting angry at him so he decided to go ahead and do what she asked. He reached into the bag and grabbed a piece, looking over it. "Is this a pine tree?" he asked, looking over the shape of the chocolate.

Bianca nodded nervously. "Yeah…"

"Huh… cool." He popped a piece into his mouth, and then hummed as he chewed it. After a few moments he swallowed, and then looked back towards her. "It's bitter… I like bitter chocolate. Thank you." Bianca looked at him surprised. At first because of his very blunt acknowledgement of how bitter it was. She hadn't tried to make it bitter. She had clearly messed up somewhere.

But somehow her screw up had worked in her favor. "You're welcome."

Stanton took his backpack off and then began digging inside of it. He then pulled out a heart shaped candy apple, and held it out towards her. "Here you go," he said.

Bianca stared down at the candy apple, and then her face lit up. "W-what's this?!"

"My dad bought a bunch of them home yesterday for Ms. Pacifica. I was going to eat it later. I like your chocolate better, so you can have this one," he said.

Bianca slowly reached out and took the apple from him. "Uh… gracias…"

"De nada."

Stanton turned and walked off, popping another piece of chocolate in his mouth. Bianca stood and looked down at the apple, her face still bright red. "Estúpido…" she muttered before taking a bite.

"Happy Valentine's Day!"

Tizzy looked up from her bike and saw Hank making his way towards her. He was smiling rather excitedly, and had a box sitting in his lap. She set her wrench down and then began wiping her hands off. "Aw Hank, you didn't have to get me anything," she said smiling towards him.

"Course I did. Besides, I know you got me something too." He had spotted her hiding something away earlier when he was checking the security cameras for any bugs.

Tizzy clicked her tongue. "Aw, it was supposed to be a surprise." Dang it, she'd told him Valentine wasn't a big deal so she could catch him off guard. Well, it wasn't like she couldn't still give it to him.

Hank held the box out towards her. "Here you go. I think you're gonna love it."

Tizzy took the box from him, and then slowly opened it up. She then looked confused as she saw a furry little hamster inside. "You got me a hamster?" she asked. He was a cute little thing for sure. But… she wasn't sure a hamster around her house would last very long. Her family could be pretty chaotic.

"Oh no, that's just the first part of the gift. Watch this." Hank lifted his finger to his mouth and then whistled, and suddenly the hamster jumped out of the box and onto the floor. A number of other hamsters began scurrying out and running towards them.

"Oh shit!" Benji yelled, jumping up on his work desk.

"What the hell?!" Biki shouted looking around.

"Hank, the hamsters got loose again!" Danji yelled.

"Oh my gosh, this is so gross!" Kaydence cried.

"It's okay everybody! This is a Valentine's day thing!"

"That doesn't make it okay Hank!" Benji yelled.

The hamsters all gathered around the one from the box, and soon they all huddled together and made a giant heart. Tizzy looked closer and saw the ones with darker fur were spelling out something.

I heart Tizzy.

Hank held his hands out. "Tada!"

Tizzy felt a blush creep onto her face. "Hank, that's… so sweet." Had he actually taken the time just to train them to do this? She knew he said he was taking time to train them on something, but she didn't think it would be this.

"Okay yeah, it's sweet! Can we put them away now?!" Kaydence said.

"Shut up!" Tizzy yelled, glaring towards her. Kaydence held her hands up defensively, and Tizzy turned back towards her boyfriend and smiled. "Hank, this is so cute."

Hank rubbed the back of his head. "I'm glad you think so. Here's part two of the gift," he said before pulling out something from his pocket. It was a locket. "I uh… I know jewelry isn't really your thing, but I thought you'd like this. It's made of a special metal, so you don't have to worry about melting it or anything. Do you like it?"

Tizzy took the locket from him, opening it up and then looking at the picture inside. It was the two of them smiling as they worked on the first bike the two of them built together. Tizzy's beamed happily. "I love it," she said before leaning down and giving him a kiss on the cheek. Hank blushed and smiled goofily. "Now for your gift."

She turned around and then opened the draw on her work desk. She pulled out a case and then handed it towards him. Hank took it, looking at her curiously before opening it up. There were half a dozen little metal spheres inside of it.

"I know you've been making upgrades to your braces, and I saw some of the designs you were planning. So I made those for you. They're cores," she said before pointing down at them. "That one is fire, that one's lightning, that one is an energy booster. And there's a couple of others too."

Hank looked down at them amazed. "Wow, Tizzy this is… this is awesome! I have to test these things out! This is gonna be amazing! Not just for the braces! I can incorporate these into my chair, the vehicles, this is just… you're the best girlfriend ever!" he said, giving her a hug.

Tizzy blushed and then hugged him back. "It's nothing. I'm glad you like them."

"Aw, ain't that sweet," Danji said smiling.

"So… like the hamsters then? We're still just leaving the hamsters out?" Benji asked, raising an eyebrow. Tizzy glared up at him angrily, and he held his hands up. "Okay, damn girl. I'll let you and your man have your moment."

Tizzy went back to smiling and hugging Hank.

"Hey loser!"

Heath kept looking at the screen as he played his video game. "What do you want, gremlin?" he asked, trying to focus on whittling down the bosses HP. Something suddenly hit him in the side of the head, and he paused the game before glaring towards Shen Mi. "What the crud?!" he asked in disbelief.

Shen Mi narrowed her eyes towards him. "Put down the dumb game and pay attention to me you buck toothed loser," she said crossing her arms. "Here I am trying to be a good boss, even though you're such a half baked lackey, and you can't even pause a stupid game to appreciate it."

Heath scowled at her. "What are you talking about?" he asked.

The redhead pointed down, and Heath glanced down to see the items she had hurled at his head. It was a tiny bag of chocolate. He reached down and picked it up. "Chocolate? The heck? Did you make this? Is this supposed to be a valentine's day gift?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

She scoffed. "Don't flatter yourself. I bought it. I just thought that even a lame henchman like you deserves payment every now and then. The day just happened to suit me since candy is cheaper," she said simply.

He narrowed his eyes. "I don't like dark chocolate."

"Well, I don't like you. So that's perfect."

Heath grunted. He actually didn't mind dark chocolate, not that she gave a crap about that anyway. "You are so annoying. Wait here…" he said getting up.

Shen Mi looked at him annoyed. "Hey?! Where are you doing?! You could at least say thank you!" she snapped. How ungrateful could a guy be? She thought about just leaving, but she wanted to know what he was having her wait for. If it was something stupid she was gonna make him pay for it.

Heath came back about a minute later, walking right up towards her and then suddenly shoving something inside of her mouth. She looked surprised and was about to yell at him, but then tasted it. She let out a pleasant hum before taking a bite from the taiyaki.

"Don't ever say I don't pay you back for anything," he said before pushing the rest of the plate into her hands. He honestly was kind of ticked off. That was the batch he had on him right now. But he didn't want her holding the dumb chocolates over his head.

Shen Mi swallowed the piece of pasty before huffing. "Well, you could still say thank you…"

"Are you going to thank me for the Taiyaki?"

"Of course not," she said, almost sounding offended. She was his boss after all. Him giving her stuff should have gone without saying.

"Yeah, that's what I thought," he said sitting back down and getting back to his game.

She narrowed her eyes at him. Ungrateful little troll. "Hey, scoot over. I wanna play."

"What? No way! You're gonna get me killed!"

"Shut up and give me the controller!"
