Prompt: Ted Mosby -"If a cockroach and a mouse can find love in this crazy world, then dammit so can I!" - 'How I Met Your Mother'


Walking into the dorm room that I shared with Wes, I was relieved to find it empty. I had some planning to do if I was going to pull off my idea- the first of which was to convince Bread Stix to let me have the performance there. After that it was convincing the Warblers to take a chance on another outside performance. The last step, getting my McKinley friends to show up, I wasn't worried about. I knew I could count on most of them to be there.

This year I was going to celebrate Valentine's Day - my way. No more feeling bitter about the fact that I had no one person to spend the day with. It didn't matter that my current crush had serenaded another person, unsuccessfully, and told me that he just wanted to be friends. I had taken the chance and put my feelings out there, and had been told that my object of affection did have feelings for me. It was a start and way more than could've been hoped for with my last crush.

I wasn't giving up on Blaine. The more time I spent with him the deeper my feelings went for him. I had to believe that if I just continued to be friends with him, that Blaine would realize those kind of feelings for me and if not, then at least I had found a good friend. There was someone out there for me, if not in Ohio then when I got to New York. I just had to be patient.

After all, Mickey had found Minnie and if two mice could find love then why couldn't eye. It might not be this year but perhaps this needed to be the year that I started appreciating Valentine's Day. After all, it was Blaine's favorite holiday, and if we were meant to be, I should start trying to appreciate the things that he liked.
