summary:
Tigress isn't all big for Valentine's day and huge romantic gestures. Could this year be any different, especially since she has the most lovestruck person ever as her mate?
Pink, red, and white filled the halls. The tiger still in her pyjamas groans in irritation as she goes into the living room, catching all her friends on the couch watching a Tela Novela about... eh, something, something, lovey dovey, blah blah blah, she couldn't really care. Tigress goes to the kitchen right behind the living room and picks up her energy drink. She gulps it down, trying to drown out the romantic music from the TV, and failing to realise a certain panda watching her before slipping out of the room.
She comes back out to the living room where her 4 remaining friends are, and rolls her eyes to the couple kissing each other on screen. With out so much of a glance to her direction, her snake friend Viper, finally greets her, "Oh, morning Tigress." She says in a monotone voice, obviously having her full attention to the show on screen.
Tigress skeptically looks at all her other friends, not seeming to notice a missing panda, "Is this really how you would all like to spend your day off on Valentine's day?"
A primate named Monkey, wearing a blue oversized hoodie with comfy sweatpants, finally tore his eyes away from the screen to look at the feline, "You KNOW that us singles reserve a date with nothing but the binge watches of romance shows, it's practically bliss for us on Valentine's day!" The other 3 nodded, still keeping all eyes on the screen.
"Besides, you and Po have every right to celebrate this day more than the rest of us! Valentine's day is the day of love, you 2 should do something special." Mantis added, as said panda finally walks back in with tiger striped roses and chocolates, ready to give it to his mate all while wearing a warm smile on his face.
Tigress scoffed, making Po freeze while he was about to hand her the presents, realising his girlfriend hasn't noticed him yet. "Please. Valentine's Day is just commercial holiday to sell bears, roses and chocolates. Me and Po could go on dates any other day, what makes this day so special?"
Po winced, and when the other 4 found noticed his presence, they winced with him. "Ouch..." Was all Crane could say before Tigress delivered her attention to the panda as well, oblivious to the contents he was holding right in front of her. "Ah Po, there you are. I assume you've heard what I said? What do you think?" She curiously yet so simply asked, as if she didn't just crush Po's romantic efforts in the palm of her hands without even realising it.
The monochromatic bear sheepishly hid the chocolates and flowers behind his back and smiles nervously, "Yep! hehe, totally agree..." It was silent in the room before Po started taking steps backwards, "Welp, uh anyway... BYE!" And with that he dashed out of the room quickly, unconsciously dropping a particular rose on the ground.
Tigress was about to ask what all that was about, until she spotted the red and white striped rose on the ground. She cocked her head to the side in wander, it couldn't be... could it? They were so rare to grow in this area. She darts her eyes to her friends who returned back to the screen, thankful they haven't noticed the rose. She stepped closer, and realised her assumptions were correct.
A tiger-striped rose. She picked it up and inspected it. It was her favorite flower! But no one else knew about her favorite flower other than that one time she told... like a ton of bricks that hit her with regret, she sighed and looked out to the hall way, seeing little dashes of extra flower petals on the floor.
"Oh Po..."
How could she be so cruel? So what if she hated Valentine's day?! Po was the sweetest and most wholesome guy she has ever met! Even before their relationship, he always treated Tigress right. He was always so good to her. Not only that but she knew how much Po loved Valentine's day! (Well, he loved all holidays, but still!) He must have been so excited to finally celebrate it with his girlfriend, and she blew it right in his face without even trying. That was definitely unfair to him. She mentally kicked and smacked herself. Rejecting his romantic gestures was like rejecting a blessing from an angel, dammit! And Tigress wasn't one to compare to such an extent, so that was saying something! What really topped off the cake was how willing Po was willing to give up on his efforts for her sake. She needed to make it up to him, and fast!
She dashed out of the hallway, knowing full well what she needed to do.
It was nighttime and Po spent most of his day with his dad, helping him in the noodle shop. Of course there wasn't much to do, considering it was the day of love. Couples filled the streets, walking hand in hand and giving each other presents like cards, flowers, and stuffed animals. Po was quite solemn the whole day as he watched other couples making kissy faces, which concerned his goose father considering how much Po loved Valentine's day. He thought Po would even be especially excited for today since Po finally has someone to spend it with. Mr. Ping wanted to ask Po what was wrong but Po would just dismiss it as him being tired.
Po made it back to his shared house with him and the other 5, and immediately went to his room with the intention of going to sleep. He still kept the chocolates and flowers in his room just in case Po's feelings started eating out of him. He stopped right in front of his door when he noticed a warm orange dimmed light illuminated from the inside. He looked down and noticed... tiger-striped rose petals on the ground? "Huh?" He mumbled before walking in.
When he looked up in his room he gasped. The rose petals continued their trail across the wooden floor to where a round large table for 2 stood in the middle of his room with a creamy-white tabled cloth covering it. more rose petal scattered across the cloth, accompanied by candlelight, giving off the homey orange effect. 2 plates and 2 chairs stood across each other on either side of the table, and a wine glass for each plate. The chocolates he promised to finish off by himself was presented right at the centre of the the table, in it's heart package and all.
But Po's eyes were drawn to his feline girlfriend, who was wearing a shimmering red dress that fit her figure perfectly, it had a deep v-cut and a large slit at the side of the dress. She looked at him with a gentle smile and love in her eyes while bashfully holding the same rose he dropped earlier in her paw.
Po was left agape. He didn't know what to say, he was babbling, trying to form words together, all the while baffled and flustered. "T-Ti... wha..? How di... When did you...!"
Tigress walked forward to him and gave him the rose, "Happy Valentine's day, Po." She says sweetly. Po took the rose, and took in all of Tigress' figure in the process. It took him a moment before he managed to shake out of his dumbstruck stupor, "W-what about 'Valentine's day being a cheap tactic to sell bears and chocolates'?"
Tigress frowned at her own words and cupped Po cheeks, "Well, I know now that Valentine's day is actually much more... special than that," She took a step closer to them, "And nothing's more special to me than you, my yin-yang cub."
Po felt tears brim his eyes as he beamed his brightest smile. Such a smile could tug at anyone's heart strings. Tigress was no exception. She yelps when her panda pulls her into a bear hug, trying to restrain his tears. She warmly chuckles and playfully pokes her mate's neck with her muzzle, "Cutie~" She mumbles. Po dug his face into her shoulder and sniffs, "Says you, you softie!"
Tigress shoots him a dangerous smirk and unsheathes her claws, "Don't call me softie, got that?" She threatens, but her panda just rolls his eyes and holds her tighter, "You know you're my softie.."
The feline sighs and wraps her arms around her neck, not helping to keep her chuffs to herself, "...Yeah... I guess I am.."
~~I'm sorry if it seems cheesy and OoC for them, but they seem in character for me TvT' pls no hate-~~
