A/N: Happy Valentine's Day! ^^ Since I didn't really get any responses in the poll I did...I'm just gonna assume y'all are content with whatever I can come up with. So why not typical fashion for this story, i.e., mix some funny and a bit of serious romance? Because I can't seem to keep a serious Ren in stories (minus any storylines involving the manga...but those have yet to be written). On with the story!

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. That goes to the respective creator. I only claim my OC(s).

Special Day:

(Ren's POV)

Okay, Ren. You can do this. Just slip out of bed without waking him, I thought. Oh yeah, easier said than done when your boyfriend is keeping you in a lock hold and still fast asleep. This was practically one of the cons to waking up before Yusei did, at least when you've got something planned for the day and need to make sure everything's ready. Thankfully, one of my band mates told me a way to get out of the hold which worked well enough. I carefully got free from Yusei's grip, freezing for a second when I heard him make a sound and thought he was getting up, but he stayed asleep which made me sigh quietly in relief.

Ah, right, I better leave a note too so he doesn't get worried. But first...where the hell did I throw everything?

(Yusei's POV)

When I woke up, I was confused as to why Ren was gone. Earlier yesterday, Ren came and said he needed a place to hide from his sister AJ. Considering it was the day before Valentine's Day, it didn't take much to guess why she chased him out. Couple that with the fact he has quite a sweet tooth. I didn't mind. Besides, it wouldn't be the first (nor last) time one of us crashed at the other's place. But this was the first time Ren's managed to wake up before I did and disappear.

Where is he? Surely he wouldn't have left that early, I thought, getting out of bed. I found a note, picking it up and reading it. Well, that answers that question, but why not just wake me up and tell me he was going to band practice? A bit unlike to leave without saying a thing.

(Scene Shift- Ren's POV)

"Okay, I think that's it!" I exclaimed. "And within a good amount of time, too."

"Good thing there's nothing scheduled in here today," AJ replied. "Surprising, though, considering what day it is."

"Yeah, I know."

"I'm a bit surprised that the whole 'hiding' from me story worked."

"Well...all things considered, you can get pretty scary when you're mad. And also, was it really necessary to hit me with a ladle?! That hurt!"

"Hey, it was your idea to say you were hiding from me. I had to make it somewhat convincing."

"Sure, but...a ladle?!"

"Would you have rather it been a pan? Because I can pull a Tangled very easily."

"Never mind! Ladle's just fine!"

"There, see? Brighter things in life."

"You know, some people would think you're possessed by an evil spirit...even without knowing your beliefs."

"Could be worse. I could be possessed and be a million times worse."

"That's...a good point. Great, now I'm gonna have nightmares of that. I already get enough of those from horror films with haunted dolls."

"Well, I better get going. Don't want Jace to tear up the furniture with no one looking."

"Oh, come on, he's not that bad."

"Fine, you're cleaning up whatever mess he made."

"Hey!"

(Scene Shift- Yusei's POV)

Hours later, I got a text from Ren asking me to come meet him at the club he usually played at. I had managed to get my work done for the day and was about to try working on the engine again when he sent the message. Well, I guess I get to see what new song they've been working on. Must have been a difficult one to take this long, I thought, getting my helmet on and driving off.

When I got to the club, I noticed most of the lights were off in the building. Odd, but Ren said he only uses the lower floors for practice, anyway. I parked, pulling off my helmet, and walked up to the entrance. The door was unlocked, so I headed in. "Ren?" I called.

"In here!" I heard him reply. Sounded like he was in the main room.

Right as I rounded the corner to it, Ren met me part way and tackled me into a hug. "Whoa, Ren. A little late for you to try sweeping me off my feet, now."

"Ha ha, No, it's more of a 'sorry for leaving so early without warning' hug," he retorted, pulling away a bit.

"You know you could have just woken me and told me. Wouldn't be the first time I woke up that early."

"Well...not exactly. I would have ruined the element of surprise, then."

"Surprise?"

"I might have convinced my boss to let me use the place for a private Valentine's Day lunch with you. Aaannnd AJ might have also been in on it the whole time and not mad at me. At least not fully."

"Well, then telling me would have ruined it."

"Heh, yeah. Now, come on! Everything's gonna get cold, otherwise!"

I chuckled. "Okay, I'm coming." Before we reached the table, though, I pulled him to me and kissed him. "Happy Valentine's."

"Happy Valentine's to you, too."

A/N: Welp, see you guys later. I've got one more request to finish up...and then I might disappear for a while 'cause new seasons to shows I'm watching on Netflix are literally right around the corner. And hopefully I can get the second chapter of Dragons' Souls out with the latest season of Race to the Edge upcoming. I've...probably got at least almost two thirds of it done? I kind of went overboard with it again. ^^; You'll see what I mean when I post it up.
