It was February 14th it was Valentine's Day! It was the time for romance and love, everyone was giving each other gifts like flowers, chocolates, and so much more! Zelda is in her room hanging out with Byleth making cards for their friends, Zelda was writing the cards for her friends while Byleth was adding the details on her card. She was thinking of getting Erdrick a gift for him, she smiled then she said to Zelda "Hey, are you gonna give something to Lucina?" Byleth questioned. Zelda wasn't sure she was gonna give to Lucina, she thought of something and she said to Byleth "yeah!!! I'm gonna give her a Doja Cat album! She loves Doja Cat and I know Lucina is gonna be SOOO happy!!!" Byleth looked at Zelda with a smile on her face and she to her "that's nice of you! I hope she likes it!" Zelda nodded in agreement and she said to her "yeah! Are you gonna give something to Erdrick for Valentine's Day this year Byleth?" Byleth smiled at her, she already knew what to give for Erdrick this year. She nodded her head as she said to Zelda "yeah! I'm planning to give him some of his favorite cookies! I'm gonna make some for him today" Zelda smiled with a big grin on her face and she to her "Ooo!!! That sounds fun!!!" Byleth smiled at Zelda and she said to her "Yeah it is" Zelda wanted to go to the store with Byleth. She had a smile on her face continuing her sentence "can I come to the store with you Byleth? Please!!!" Byleth smiled she wanted some company while she goes to the store, she nodded her head saying "yeah you can come Zelda!" Zelda jumped up and down saying "yay!!!! Let's go!!!" Byleth wanted to say hi to Erdrick, she had to break the conversation between her friend. "Okay but wait for me, I just have to say hi to Erdrick ok?" Zelda nodded walking out of her door grabbing her purse and she said "Okay!!! You do what you gotta do girly!!!" Zelda walked out of her dorm gonna wait for Byleth. Then Byleth walked out of Zelda's dorm and she's gonna go to her dorm to see Erdrick. Erdrick was in his dorm sitting on his desk thinking about what he should get for Byleth for Valentine's Day, then he wrote down what he's gonna get for her. He smiled at the list of things he was gonna get, it wasn't much then he said to himself "there! Now I'm gonna go get the things for Byleth, I just hope she likes the gifts I'm gonna give her!" Byleth walked inside the dorm as she opened the door and she saw Erdrick, she had a big smile on her face once she saw him. Erdrick also smiled at her and he said to her "Hey By!!!" Byleth saw him as she walked up to him "Hi Erdrick!!!" He looked at Byleth with a big smile on his face, his heart lit up as he saw her then he ran up to her as he held Byleth by her waist as he lift her up and he spinned her around a little and he gave her a big hug. Byleth wrapped her arms around Erdrick as she hugged him back in return, she smiled as she felt his warmth around her. She looked at him as she put her hands on Erdrick's shoulders and she said to him "happy Valentine's Day by the way!" They stopped hugging eachother and Erdrick had a lovely dovey look on his face mixed with a smile on his face, he smiled at her, he can't believe that he is giving something to her. Then he blushed as he looked at Byleth, he was thinking in his mind "wow... Byleth is really pretty and gorgeous, I'm so lucky to have a girl like her, I could just think about her all day and forget all the problems that I have... I just want to kiss her so ba-" Byleth was calling Erdrick to check if he was listening. Then she said to him "Erdrick!!!" Erdrick snapped out from his little fantasy he was suprised that he was thinking about Byleth all of this time and he said to her "AH! Oh- sorry Byleth! I got distracted! I'm so sorry!" Byleth smiled at him as she held his hands and she said to him "it's okay don't worry about it! I understand!!!" Erdrick smiled at her and he said to her "Thanks for understanding Byleth! But I'm gonna give you something! It's gonna be special!!" Byleth smiled as she clapped her hands together, she continued "Really?! aaaa I'm so excited!!! BUT! I'm also gonna give you something too! It's a surprise!" Erdrick couldn't wait what the surprise was, he was curious but very excited. He had a grin on his face and he said to her "I'm so EXCITED EEEE!!!! Okay okay! I'll wait!" Byleth giggled of how charming he was, Byleth had to go to the store to get the gift for Erdrick. She twisted her hair with her fingers then she said to him "I'm sorry Erdrick but I have to go to get your gift now! But I will be back soon!" Erdrick nodded in agreement then he smiled at her and he said to her "alright! I will see you later Byleth, I love you!" Byleth blushed when Erdrick said that he loves her she already knows that he loves her with all of his heart. She walked over to him as she gave him a kiss on the cheek, Erdrick blushed with a surprised look on his face. His cheeks heated up a little as Byleth said to him "I love you too Erdrick, I'll be back!" Byleth waved at him as she walked out her dorm then she closed the door on her way out. Erdrick smiled even more as he blushed, he flopped himself on the bed sighing with a soft tone to his voice. He smiled just thinking about the expression on Byleth's face if he gave her the gift to her, he looked up at the ceiling as he said to himself "you know what? I'm gonna give her the beautifulest flower that tells her how beautiful and special she is!" Erdrick got off from his bed as he walked out of his dorm, then he walked downstairs once he reached the first floor he walked down and left the smash mansion to find the rose for Byleth. Erdrick walked outside of the mansion, he saw the garden and he walked around the garden. There was flowers, Daisy's, Tulips and so much more, he went to the garden and he found the rose he picked it as he sniffed it he smiled at the rose. Then he said to himself "now I've got the rose I'm gonna write her a letter to meet me outside! I just hope she shows up!" Then he left the garden, Erdrick opened the doors that leaded inside the smash mansion. He went upstairs till he reached the 3rd floor he opened the door as he walked inside his dorm, he sat down on his chair putting the paper on the desk, he had a pencil and he was gonna write the letter for Byleth. He smiled and he said to himself with pride and confidence "Alright! Let's do this Erdrick! You've got this!!! You just have to write the letter and you have to put it in a envelope and give it to her! Not so hard right?" Then he started to think about Byleth in his mind, he blushed and he put his head on the desk as he sighed and he said to himself "gosh I can't... I just keep thinking about Byleth!!! ALRIGHT YOU CAN THINK ABOUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND LATER ERDRICK! TIME TO WRITE THE CARD FOR BYLETH! I just have to write it and not think about her! SIMPLE!!" Then He started writing the letter with pencil first and he outlined it with a pen next. He was adding a bit of details of heart stickers and a little bit of glitter that he sprinkled around the card, he was happy how the card came out. He blew off the extras of glitter because he didn't want too much glitter on the card. He smiled when the card as all finished, he put it in a envelope and he closed the little flap of the envelope as he put a heart sticker on it. He was proud of the card that he made for her, he walked to his bed and he said to himself "I'm just gonna watch some Netflix to past the time and I'll get ready!" Then he started watching Netflix to past the time. With Byleth and Zelda they were walking to the store to get the cookies for Erdrick, the doors opened as they walked inside the door. Zelda had a big grin on her face as she saw the bakery isle, she wanted to check out all of the sweets "Byleth!!! I wanna see all of the deserts! Can I go?" Zelda asked, Byleth nodded her head as she smiled "Sure! I'll be right over there at the side of the store so, call me if you need anything ok?" Zelda nodded her head in excitement "okay!!! See you later! WEEEE!!" Then Zelda ran to the desert/bakery isle. Byleth walked to the cookie isle of the store she saw many cookies like white chocolate cookies, raisin cookies and chocolate chip cookies. The ones that wanted to get for Erdrick, she saw a pack of chocolate chip cookies they were in a plastic box and Byleth held the pack of cookies and she walked to the desert isle to find Zelda, Zelda was at the desert isle looking and admiring how delicious the cakes, cupcakes and cookies looked, Byleth found Zelda as she walked up to her and she tapped her shoulder as she said to her "Hey Zel! I got the cookies!" Zelda got distracted when she heard Byleth's voice she looked at her and said "oh okay! Can we stay here at the store longer PLEASEEE???" It was already 4:30 (pm) Byleth wanted to go back to the smash mansion to make Erdrick's gift then Zelda shaked her head left to right and immediately continued her sentence "I would say at the store and look at all of these, yummy, delicious cakes and desserts! But! Let's go home and make the best Valentine's Day ever!!!" Zelda said being all excited she is. Byleth smiled at her as she started giggling and she walked with Zelda to pay the cookies for Erdrick and said "okay Zelda! Let's go home!!! Byleth payed her things and she walked back home with Zelda. Zelda and Byleth came inside the smash mansion as Zelda made her way back to her room Byleth walked to the kitchen as she put the pack of cookies down on the table and she got 4 cookies, she had a plastic bag as she put the cookie in them one by one. She also had a light pastel blue paper bag right next to her, she twisted the plastic bag that had the cookies in them with a white string and she put the string into a bow-ish. Then she put the cookies that is inside the plastic bag in the paper bag. Then she smiled as she said to herself "I hope Erdrick likes the cookies that I bought him!" Then she started to think... "what if Erdrick doesn't like the cookies I bought him?" "What if he thinks it's a silly gift and he may not like it" "he probably thinks it's the worst gift that I've gotten him..." Byleth started to feel bad if he didn't like the gift that she was gonna give him. With Erdrick he was already done writing the letter for Byleth, then sadness hit him "what if Byleth doesn't like the rose? What if she doesn't like the letter I gave her? She's gonna hate me and not gonna be my Valentine this year, and she may not be outside to see me... why do I feel like crying? Don't cry... god damnit" Erdrick put his head down as he started crying, he kept on crying and crying thinking that Byleth may not like the things he gave her. He sniffed as he wiped his own tears away then he sat on the bed as he said to himself "I'm gonna take a nap for a little while then I will wake up to get ready..." Then he laid down then he closed his eyes as he fell asleep. With Byleth she was done she was looking at the bag that she completed making, she felt worried that he may not like it. She had sadness in her stomach as she said to herself "what if Erdrick doesn't like the gift I made for him? it doesn't really matter anyway..." Byleth had tears in her eyes then she started crying, she cried and cried until she calmed herself down by taking deep breaths, then she walked to the couch as she laid down, she yawned while feeling tried with exhaustion then she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Erdrick opened his eyes as he woke up from his nap he yawned as he checked the time on his phone it was 6:30 (pm) he was in shock that he overslept, he got off from his bed dashing to his closet "OH SHOOT! I have to get ready to meet Byleth and give her the things!!! AHHH!!!!!" Erdrick opened the closet door he already found the outfit that he wanted to wear he put on a yellow shirt that said "classic hero" on it, he had a blue jacket he put on his jacket and he put on brown-ish finger gloves on his hands, then he put on some light brown pants he also put some white socks and he put on his brown boots. He also put a pink scarf around his neck, he got the rose and the letter for Byleth, he smiled and he said to himself "Alright! Let's do this!!!" Then he walked out of his dorm hoping Byleth will show up. A couple minutes passed by and Byleth was still sleeping she woke up from her nap realized that she oversleeped she checked her phone and had a shocked look on her face, she had to get the bag of cookies for Erdrick. She got up from the couch running to her dorm "I gotta get ready and get the cookies to Erdrick! Oh why did I fall asleep! Stupid me!!" Byleth opened the door and she saw that Erdrick wasn't there, she thought "oh he already left.. HE'S WAITING FOR ME!!!" She ran to her closet as she opened it she got her black top as she put it on and she put on her shorts, she couldn't find her socks "huh? Where are my socks?" Byleth said confused then she started to look around her dorm to find her socks she opened the drawer and she found one pair of white socks she smiled "there they are! Now I gotta put these on and go to see Erdrick! There's no time to waste!" She put her socks on as she put her boots on she wanted to wear a necklace that she bought a couple weeks ago. She found the necklace on her desk as she put it on then she brushed her hair added on a tiny bit of blush, she looked at herself on the mirror and she said to herself "this is gonna be the best Valentine's Day ever! I just know it! Now let's get the gifts and get going!" Byleth said as she got the cookies for Erdrick and opened the door walked out of her dorm, she walked downstairs and runned out of the smash mansion to see Erdrick. Erdrick was waiting for Byleth by a bench behind the bench it was a tree, he got the rose and the letter that he was gonna give for her he was nervous if she wasn't gonna show up but he had hopes! Byleth started running she had the bag of cookies in her hands she wasn't sure if Erdrick was upset because she came here late, but she saw him waiting for her she smiled as she called out "Erdrick!!!" Erdrick looked at Byleth. "She's here! she came!" Erdrick thought in his mind Byleth walked up right next to Erdrick she panted from running so much, she was catching her breath "I...I'm here! I'm so sorry if I came here late Erdrick, I fell asleep and I forgot to come here earlier I hope you understand!" she said.
