AN: Helia's last name is "Knightly-Saladin" because he has his parent's conjoined names! I realized that Saladin is probably his last name, since the guys refer to Saladin as Saladin, and they wouldn't call him by first name. (Helia's mom's last name), while Knightly is a popular fanon one that makes me laugh. xD

"So, apparently, there's this earth tradition tomorrow." Sky announced, causing varying levels of interest from the rest of the boys. From Riven's nonchalant nod to Brandon's full attention, they were all there. "What is it?" Timmy asked. Earth customs, although rather dumb sometimes, were fun to follow. And, something that Sky knew that Brandon didn't about earth? This was interesting.

"This holiday; Valentine's Day? Bloom told me about it, and apparently it's when you get gifts for your loved ones. I'm not sure if that was a fact, or a nudge in the right direction, but I think we should do something." He said, looking to the boys, who at this point were interested. "Huh, sounds like fun." Brandon said, flipping through the book he was reading. Sky sighed gently, walking to Brandon. "Meaning," He said, picking his book up. "The girls already know about this, and seeing as Bloom told me about it, they're probably expecting something."

And if the boys weren't interested/panicking by now, that would've done it. Brandon looked to him, slowly registering his words. "And you're only telling us this now?" He said, standing up. "Sky, knowing Stella, this will take planning. Not a day in advance, I would need at least a month." He groaned. Timmy shifted slightly. "I mean, he isn't wrong." Timmy admitted. "A bit of heads up would be nice. Not, I don't know, the night before." Riven hummed his agreement, already up and about.

Sky clicked his tongue. "I hadn't mentioned it because we have training again tomorrow." He said, as the others groaned. "Yeah, well, we can skip for a day? Sure, make up will be harsh, but the girls expect something." Riven said, and Nabu had paced back and forth, wondering what to do. Only Helia had continued writing. He spoke up. "I mean, I should advise against skipping, but I think we all need a break." Helia said, surprisingly. "I think I know what Flora'll like." He hummed, continuing to write. Although, a small smile tugged at his lips, in thought.

Brandon groaned. "Helia, this isn't even fair. You know how to write. Plus, it's Flora. I don't want to say my cousin is easy to please, but she is."

He flopped down on his seat, before struck with an idea. "Hey Helia, Say, could you help us out…?" Said boy looked up, only to find all eyes on him. He shook his head. "Nope, not dealing with you all. These situations always lead to some sort of chaos." He said, although sighing a moment later. "If I help with presents, it won't be genuine." Sky hummed. "We know, but you're our only saving grace here, Helia. Please?" Knowing that they weren't going to stop, Helia gave up. "Fine, just plan something of your own as well?" He said, in resignation. A cheer could be heard.

Meanwhile, at Alphea

"Huh, so that earth holiday is tomorrow. Isn't it, Bloom?" Tecna asked, lying about with her phone in hand. Bloom nodded. "Yep, Valentine's day. I told Sky about it once, though I doubt he actually remembered." She said, flipping through her tenth read over of the Harry Potter series.

Flora smiled, as she finished watering her final plant. "I think it's sweet. A holiday based on romance?" Stella sighed, happily. "It sure does. Making plans with Brandy, though he doesn't know yet." She winked.

Musa snorted. "That's cute. Maybe I should ask Riven to an arcade or something. Do you guys wanna tag with the guys?" Layla nodded almost immediately. "And beat the everloving crap out of all of you? I'm in." She grinned. Tecna waved. "Me too. You guys seem to forget I'm the fairy of tech." She winked. Layla whistled low. "Them fightin' words." Musa laughed. "Oh yeah. This is a competition I'm willing to see go down."

Bloom put her book down. "Hey, yeah! Maybe I'll plan something with Sky…" She said, putting a bookmark in her book and placing it down. However, Flora spoke up. "Uh, as fun as this all sounds…" She said, softly. "..The guys have a training session all day tomorrow." Groans could be head. "Well, f me lightly with a chainsaw. After reserving that restaurant too.." Stella whined, laying down.

Musa put a hand to her chin, seemingly thinking. A moment later, she turned to Flora. "Hey, could you use your influence as goody two shoes and Saladin's future grandchild, and convince him otherwise?" She blushed slightly. "Musa! That's abuse of power. That's mean." She said, gently crossing her arms and her cheeks slightly puffed. Layla couldn't help but laugh. "No offence Flora, but you're not Like, at all. You look adorable. Also, the guys have been training all week. Don't they deserve a break too?" She questioned, as Flora sighed. "I mean, I guess you're right. I really would like to see Helia again." She picked up her phone, scrolled through er contacts, and hit 'call'.

Bloom was whispering in the background. "Wait, are we just not going to question the fact that she just has Saladin's number? Isn't that a little weird?" She asked, and Tecna gave her a look.

"Bloom, we were given the numbers as soon as we became big to this school. Something about emergency procedures and the fact that we end up in trouble with some new villan every freaking year." Layla hummed her agreeal. "Yeah, why don't we ever question that? There's been a bad guy every year. It's almost like we're in some show or something." She shrugged, and Musa nodded. "Oh, yeah. If we're going to be in a show, though, I want to be that freaking cool tomboy-trope." Soon enough, the rest of the Winx were discussing this, along with a strangely detailed analysis of how show-like their life seemed. Flora sighed as the phone rang, looking up to the corner as if she was in the office. "Bet Helia deals with nothing compared to this. Then again, my cousin is a force of his own… nevermind." She smiled. She loved her team.

Plus, her boyfriend could deal with it.

"Oh hey Flora, could you help with flowers by the way?"

Suddenly, she didn't like her team as much. Nevermind, she would much rather deal with the boys. How bad could they possibly be?

The next day

If Saladin had a weak spot, it would be for Flora.

He remembered her as a youth, best friends with Helia. And now, seeing them together? There couldn't have possibly been a better match. She was there for him, and cared for him when Saladin himself could not. When his darling daughter could not. Needless to say, Saladin was a weak man and caved.

He sighed, blaming it on the age. Still, he had been working the boys to the bone. They deserved a break. He tapped at Helia's door. The room had been rather noisy, as it seemed all of their unit had been gathered in his grandson's shared room. It went silent, and Brandon opened the door only to immediately salute. He couldn't help but smile. A dramatic young man, sure, but a respectful one as well. Helia raised an eyebrow as he caught sight of him.

"Grandfather? What is it?" Saladin clicked his tongue. "Will you ever just call me grandpa?" Helia still looked to him, and Saladin couldn't help but sigh. Stoic as ever, it seemed. "I have a message for you boys. Seeing as you have been working diligently through the week, you may have the day off today." He smiled. "That is all. You guys may return to whatever desired- Oh, hello Nabu- as I will take my leave." They all nodded, and Saladin exited. The moment the door was closed, though, he heard cheers. Ah, youth

...Wow, he really was sounding old

"Oh, hell yeah! I'm so excited for this Valon-Valentine's Day!" Brandon corrected himself, fist pumping the air. The afternoon sun was shining over their rather spacious units. Helia sighed. He had stayed up finishing poems for the group, though it was worth seeing them so excited.

Helia really did care for them, even if he didn't show it. Just then, Sky's phone went off. He raised an eyebrow, and the other's looked to him in curiosity. "Oh? Apparently, Bloom's already planned something with me." He sighed. "Welp, I mean, her plan's probably more thought out anyway." He shrugged. Brandon finger-gunned to him. "Same, actually. Stella's apparently made reservations? I love her so much." He giggled, holding his poem close to him. Nabu grinned. "Oh? It seems that we're all booked, then. Layla, Musa, Tecna, Riven, Timmy and I are going to hit up some arcades in downtown Magix. I can't wait!" He gushed. Timmy gave a thumbs up, and Riven nodded. Helia smiled at this. It was cute, seeing them so in love. Sure, they usually were but the amount of admiration the couples held for each other never ceased to amaze him. Helia didn't notice the looks to him. He looked confused at them. Was it his smile? "What's up?" He asked curiously.

"You're the only one without plans. Helia, put your big boy boots on and go ask Flora out." Sky said, smiling. Oh. "Actually, that's a good idea. I was planning a date with a nap, since I put my heart and soul into those poems." He said, although slightly laughing when the confused expressions didn't leave. "Of course I'm going to go do something. Just, a bit later." He smiled tiredly. He received shrugs, and the guys were out. A few minutes later, Helia crashed. He wouldn't admit it, but he actually hadn't slept. If their relationships were on his shoulders, their happiness, he would rather not see any extra drama. Plus, he could always plan something for the later afternoon. Right?

He was wrong. Dead wrong. He woke up five hours later; at six. Shoot, it was getting late and he hadn't planned anything for Flora and himself! He quickly got up and-

"Surprise!" Helia flinched, and nearly had a heart attack at someone popping up at him. His immediate response wasn't the best, as he grabbed the nearest item (a freaking pillow, nice one Saladin) and aimed it at the intruder. He blinked. Oh, it was Helia. Sheepishly, he put the item down. He hadn't noticed the lazy blanket draped over him, nor had he noticed the propped up pillow beside his. He smiled wearily. "Good… evening." he sighed softly, kneeling over to peck Flora on the forehead. She smiled. "Back at you, Heels. Someone looks sleepy." She teased, plopping herself beside him. A small yawn amited from her, and Helia raised a brow.

"Sorry about that. Though, the guys kept me up. Something about not having a gift, so my poems being a saving grace? I don't remember the wording, but you get the point." He laughed slightly, holding in to said girl. She hummed her agreeal. "Tell me about it. They cannot deal with flowers and arrangements for the life of them." They gave each other a look, before giggling.

"Well then, I have a preposition fo you. How about we skip the formalities, and just take a nap together?" Flora suggested. Helia felt slightly bad. "Are you sure you didn't want to do anything else?" He asked. Flora laughed. "Nope. I'm fine with this." She said, allowing herself to yawn. Helia nodded. God, he loved her so much. "Yeah, I'm down. I'll drop you off later." He smiled sleepily, and she agreed. He could train tomorrow half asleep, and answer any questions the guys have to their predicament.

Helia needed a nap, and it seemed Flora did as well. Truly a well put match.

*Bonus*

"They look so cute."

"I know, right?"

"Hush, they're sleeping!"

Helia could pretend to sleep for just a bit longer, although he could hear the voices of both the Winx and Specialists alike. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. He went back to sleep.

Happy Late-Valentine's Day! I was supposed to post this day of, but it was a really busy day and I was really tired. Hence, late chapter!

Notes:

- "Helia needed a nap" was a direct accidental reference to the summary.

- New? POVs? What is this?

- The Winx one was supposed to happen; Saladin was not. But, I liked the part and so I kept it!

- If anything is spelt wrong, it's because I'm running on little hours of sleep. Welp-

- My DM's are being a little wonky, so bear with me!

- This was supposed to be more humour based but? Sometimes we need a lil' fluff. uwu

- This is officially the longest chapter without author's notes, with about three and a half pages!

That's all from me! Reviews (And chaos-) are what I thrive off of, so please consider leaving one! Also! My Tumblr is winx-canons

Have a great (late) Valentine's day! - Lili
