Valentine's Day was coming up, and, as much as Emma and Killian didn't want to make a big deal like people usually do, they did, but on their defence, it hella was.
The butterflies were stirring in their stomachs though they were convinced that that was definitely not ever going to happen today. What they would give to pin those damn butterflies on the wall for all to see. They felt it was *ahem* appropriate to give eachother gifts for the special say as friends. Especially since the whole day their friends had been cheering them on to do so.
And obviously they told them how colossal of idiots they were.
They were surprised to find so many both anonymous and names gifts, chocolates, flowers and other Valentine's Day crap they'd been given. Some were gag gifts, like those from Ruby and Elsa, that pack of condoms and that stickerbook of winky-faces and other suggestive emoticons, though they couldn't admit that they didn't send some back, too. Others, well... some were heartfelt, and it was a pain to throw some away or have to talk to them about not being interested in them.
They planned to meet with each other at their local mall, unknowing of each other's plans, but the hint of awkwardness between them in the phone call seemed to give tehm a clue. Sighing, they thought about their decision. What consequences would apply to such an action? Why?
And then perhaps they remembered how they seemed to worry and think so much, proceeding to mentally slap themselves in the face.
Killian sighed and threw his bouquet of flowers into the bin, the prettily signed friendship note crumpled and torn now. What a waste. But he knew this decision would somehow affect their relationship, though it shouldn't even be so awkward. For once he just wanted another day when they just acted normal with each other. He needed to try harder was all.
Right?

And it made him so embarrassed to think how much of a coward he was when she was the one to hand him flowers.
Her blush prettily covered her face in a rare shade of pink, making Killian inadvertently sigh. She turned away after giving him the bouquet, smiling nervously. "Hope you like them. Best friends are better than valentines, right?"
Killian wished to make her feel less awkward, gingerly placing a hand on her shoulder to make her feel more comfortable. At his touch, her tense muscles relaxed. "Totally. But i'm still taking you to the movies, anyway."
"Yay!" Emma squealed childishly, making Killian laugh in response. "We're so watching Penguins of Madagascar! Plleeeeeeaassssee?" That just made him laugh even harder, but he played along. "What, no Fifty Shades of Grey love?"
"Fuck no. Now, that that issue's been resolved - penguins?"
"Penguins." And so she dragged him over to the ticket stand, giggling all the while, Killian still holing the bouquet tightly in his hand, though some leaves and petals fell and followed them. Tired yet curious eyes watched them with impatience, though you couldn't blame them for spying. They'd done it before, anyway. Yes, experienced stalkers. Something they all wanted on their resume.
An eventful Valentine's Day it was indeed.
