Summary: It's Valentine's Day, and Bro has a special surprise for John.
John is at school. You had told him to stay home, seeing as it's Valentine's Day, but he refused, leaving you to think up a plan for when he gets home.
You smile to yourself, thinking up a plan.
You come home perky and excited. You just know Dirk has done something for Valentine's Day, and you can't wait to see it.
You open your apartment door to find the place darkly lit and cleaned, with a delicious smell wafting through it. There are bluebells leading you to the kitchen, making you smile, and you follow them eagerly.
Dirk stands in an orange button down shirt and black pants, doing something over the stove. His hat is gone and his hair is styled back, making him look younger. He looks at you with a genuine smile, something you don't see all that often.
"What're you making?" you ask, coming up to him.
"Pasta," he replies, kissing you quickly. "Seafood pasta."
You help him by taking over the pasta itself, and you cook in silence, simply enjoying each other's company. You sit down at the beautifully set, tiny table and eat quietly as well.
Dirk seems nervous. Halfway through eating he speaks up.
"I… I have something to ask you."
You look up and set down your fork. "Okay. What is it?"
He takes a deep breath and stands up, taking something out of his pocket. He kneels in front of you and suddenly you know exactly what he's asking.
"John Egbert," he starts slowly. "Will you -"
You throw your arms around his neck. "Yes. Yes yes yes, yes times a thousand, yes!"
He relaxes and kisses you, picking you up and twirling you around. "I love you so much," he says.
"I love you too," you say breathlessly before kissing him again.
You leave your dishes where they are as you call everyone you know with the good news.
