Y'all this is soooooo AU
"It is a holiday for love!" Airawende said giving Tar-Mairon a wide-eyed look as Gothmog scoffed and took her elbow.
"Is that really something you should be ridiculing brother?" I winced at Langon's voice. Damn sneaky bastard Langon was.
"I am not your brother!" Gothmog hissed "You don't come from the same theme as my real brothers."
"But we are all brothers and sisters under the guidance of our lord Melkor," Langon said with a devious smirk. Gothmog looked ready to explode and the heat began emanating hotter than normal. I looked at Tar-Mairon with fear hoping he would intervene from my expression, but he just tilted his minutely and smiled at me with a wink Gothmog couldn't see.
"Don't" Airawende whispered putting a hand on her forehead. I took a step back at the look he leveled at her.
"Valentine's is a romance holiday" I blurted out trying to cause a distraction "Well, I mean sometimes it's also just family love or friendship, but it's very much known for romance and the day for love. Lots of kids are born around the same time in 9 months after this holiday in November, not as many as September cause of Christmas and everything, but its still a thing." I said gasping for breath and looking at Airawende. She looked like she suppressing laughter and pain.
"You have to explain the traditions," She said before Langon or Gothmog could argue.
"Oh, well, that changes by household and family or even couple, you know" I said still feeling the heat in the air. He needed to turn it down before my hair started burning. Fire resistant is not fireproof.
"Why don't you tell us?" Langon said winking at Airawende. I felt a noise of panic leave my throat at the flare of heat from Gothmog. He was so territorial. I breathed out a sigh of relief when Tar-Mairon set his hand on my shoulder. It felt cooler like he was blocking the heat.
"Well, my mother always gave us stuff for Valentine's" Airawende began blinking up at Gothmog "but she did that for all holidays that we celebrate too. Christmas, Easter, and you know Valentines like I just said. However, it is known, or became known, as a holiday for couples to celebrate. Chocolates and flowers as gifts or jewelry. Nice dinners or romantic gestures. Lots of pinks and reds" She continued on looking like a deer in the headlights.
"Let's go Haldamire. We have places to be" Tar-Mairon said looking at Langon.
"We have places to be now too" Gothmog said before picking up Airawende and throwing her over his shoulder as she shrieked in surprise.
"You're too tall. Put me down" She hissed as he marched away. I stared after them in shock as Langon started laughing and Tar-Mairon sighed.
"This is not what it should be" He murmured to Langon.
"It's better for us. For you" Langon replied.
