Valentine's Day (Gender Neutral Reader)

I FORGOT TO WRITE THIS SOONER SO IT'S GONNA BE RLLY SHORT WAHHHHH but anyway Doe leaves you a Valentine's card to confess his feelings to you lol ENJOYYYY

Y/N POV
I never really enjoyed Valentine's Day very much. Mainly because I had nobody to spend it with. From elementary school all the way to highschool, I always got rejected whenever I tried to establish any romantic relationship with anyone. So, I gave up. Of course I still feel romantic attraction, but I never acted upon it due to a fear of rejection. Is it lonely? Yes. But it's better than being hurt.

I was working another shift at the gas station, and it was a little bit busier than usual. I saw happy teen couples getting slushies, taking pictures with eachother, and being a bit flirty with eachother as well. An elderly couple came in earlier to get today's newspaper, holding hands. I saw a woman with a stroller kiss her wife on the cheek while they were shopping for snacks. Sure, I was happy for all of them, but I felt a little saddened.  I wish I could experience those happy moments with someone.

John Doe POV
After finishing up the details on the front of the card, I started to concentrate on what to write inside. This had to be a card of utmost perfection for Y/N. I wanted to confess my feelings to them, since I've liked them for a very long time now. I wanted them to see how special they are to me. After finishing the last sentence of the card, I drew red hearts in any blank spaces and decorated it with stickers as well. I folded the card closed, putting it in an envelope and sealing it with a heart sticker. Then, I took the card with me to the bus stop.

After arriving at the gas station, I was planning out what I was going to say to them in my head. I opened the gas station door, walking inside. Y/N looked up at me. "Oh, hey Doe. What's up?" They asked. I walked up to the counter. "I, uh- I-I have something- something for you! I hope y-you like it..." I managed to say through my nervousness, my constant stuttering making me internally scream in embarrassment. I put the envelope on the counter. "I- I have to go, c-call me later!" I added, about to walk out before Y/N stopped me. "Stay a little longer, you just got here! Now, what does this letter say..." Y/N responded, opening the envelope.

Y/N POV
I opened the envelope, pulling out a card. Wait, a card? It read "Happy Valentine's Day, Y/N" in bubble letters. There was a scribbled drawing of me and Doe holding hands, the rest of the card covered in stickers and drawings of hearts. He... He gave me a Valentine's Day card? I've never received one of these before. Well, the ones I have received had insults at my expense written inside them instead of an actual Valentine's Day letter. I opened the card, reading what was inside.

"Dear Y/N,
I know you're not really into all this cheesy romance stuff- But I thought I would give it a shot anyway. I have loved you since we first met. You've treated me with more kindness and compassion than anyone else ever had, and I want to treat you the same. I want you to recognise how precious you are to me, and what an amazing and beautiful person you are. I would do absolutely anything to make you happy. I love you, Y/N.
Love, John Doe"

I closed the card, not knowing what to say. I'm not used to recieving a Valentine's Day card. I saw the look on his face. He looked genuine about his feelings, his face tinted with red. He really cares about me? I walked out from behind the counter, facing Doe. I placed my hand on his waist, and the other on his cheek. Then, I kissed him. It felt right, like this has been meaning to happen for so long. I pulled away, staring into his eyes. "I love you too. Happy Valentine's Day, Doe." I said, hugging him.

AGAIN SO SORRY IT'S SHORT ☹️ But I hope you enjoyed it anyway lol!
