~a few hours later, now morning time, Valentines Day~

"Come on (Y/n) get up! Get up get up!" Rubi was saying excitedly while she was on all fours bouncing up and down in your bed. It was so much bouncing that it eventually began to make you bounce along with her as you slept, causing you to abruptly wake up and keep yourself from falling off the bed yet again.

"Okay! Okay! I'm up! Geez woman what're you turning into tigger for?" You laughed as you looked up at Rubi. She was all smiles as she stared down at you.

"Because today is finally the day where you profess your love! It's Valentines Day!" She made hand gestures like the character lumièr from beauty and the beast. Pressing her interlock hands together onto one side of her cheek.

"Hahaha shut up!" You laughed but blushed hard in embarrassment at the realization. You remembered the day Clyde gave you that flower that meant 'your letter received' but then you wandered, had he always known it was you? No..it couldn't be.

Suddenly Rubi broke your train if thought as you hear her saying your name and waving her hand in front of your face.

"Hmm?" You say quietly. Rubi scoffed softly and pointed to her wrist eventhough she didn't have a watch on yet.

"Don't you have to get ready for work today?" She asked and then you sat upright and looked at the alarm clock that was on the nightstand by your bed and your eyes widen in shock.

You completely forgot that you were scheduled to come today as it was gonna close earlier due to it being Valentines day. You instantly jumped off the floor and ran to get ready, leaving as you hear Rubi giggling as she noticed your cheeks were red knowing full well who you were thinking of right now. You dressed up in your jeans and a dark grey elbow length sleeve as it was only thing you could grab before Rubi and you ran out the door and to the car. You had just enough time to leave Rubi at her house so you can see her later today and drive on to work.

Your thoughts began racing as you began to think about Clyde, you tried to get your mind off of him as it was making you shy by turning on your music playlist and the first song that came on was 'I could write a book' by Frank Sinatra and it was one of your favorites. Usually you didn't wanna listen to romance songs when your intentions right now was to not think about Clyde when you had to drive but the soothing voice of your favorite singer as well as the lyrics you could hear made your heart race and you couldn't stop smiling as you began to sing the words.

'The simple secret of the plot..is just to tell them that I love you alot.' Your heart was fluttering as your favorite song was playing on your phone as you played it while you were heading to work.

You were smiling wide as you listened to more love songs again and again while singing your heart out, it helped you escape your worries for a moment as you parked in the parking lot of the bar. You left your car after locking it and you said hello to Earl as you came inside, you were thankful your blush wasn't easy to see from afar as you see Clyde at the bar cleaning it up and setting up some bottles beneath it for when customers come. Clyde heard you open the door and smiled seeing you and he gives you a nod and a wave as you waved back and went to help in the back to grab some glass to restock his station.

After about an hour people began to come in and it started to get quite busy, you were collecting glasses left and right and Clyde would often steal glances at you everytime he caught you looking his way, making you blush a little and hurry to do your work. As the hours ticked by you began to feel more nervous about seeing him later on to make your confession. Suddenly a old friend of Jimmy's comes into the bar and talks to Clyde, he fixes her a drink and they talked about normal things until she began to wander what he might be doing for Valentine's Day today. He glanced back at the room where you were and so far he thought the coast was clear for a bit so he leaned in and spoke to her about what's been going on without giving everything away.

"Well well Jimmy's mentioned something new's been goin around in your life Clyde so what's got you being so secretive now?" She teased playfully. "I promise I ain't here to make fun I just wanna know if ya need anything since it's been a long time we ever heard something like this happening for ya." She says sincerely which made him relieved.

He then glances behind himself making sure you aren't out and about yet and then he leans in once more.

"Thing is...there's a secret admirer I got a while ago and I'm actually really hopin that she'll like me when I for sure meet her." Clyde said quietly. He didn't usually tell people about his 'love life' since he rarely had one but knowing that Jimmy's friend is being kind enough to give him some advice gave him some relief.

She gave his hand a gentle hold as she smiled at him. "I'm sure she's gonna be very happy, if she's already been giving you love letters almost everyday before today then it's a very sure that she must know you're sweet inside and out." She said sincerely as she kept her hand over his. She then leans in and whispers close, "just be yourself and I'm sure she will let you know how much her feelings were real in those letters, now I gotta know is when will ya meet her?"

Clyde then began to tell the friend about how they might be meeting at the Valentine's Day fair later on and she grabbed his wrist that laid there on the counter in support, smiling as she was excited he was finally coming out of his weird quiet shell of his.

"I think maybe you should bring something that you think she'd like to your first meeting, if you're able to base it off of the letters she's been sending you then maybe she likes simple romantic gesture like things. She doesn't sound like she cares much for super fancy things from what ya say." She says kindly.

You were ready to grab some more glasses to clean after finishing up one more set you had grabbed, you had your tray and you were walking out from the back, your eyes noticed a hand on Clyde's as you tried to steal a secret glance and your heart stopped.

You froze when you saw a woman at the bar talking and smiling with Clyde, she reached over and held his hand and he smiled back. You knew that you shouldn't just jump to conclusions but you couldn't help but your mind went there. You quickly walked around the bar as calm as possible picking up the dirty glasses left behind on the tables and headed back to the work room you went in, small streams of tears ran down your cheek as your negativity got the best of you and you began to fear the worst might happen tonight.

Not knowing he was excited to finally know who it was that's been making him happy, officially.

A couple hours later Clyde said you could go home and before you could head for the door he had asked if you might be attending the Valentine's Day fair tonight since everyone was going and you showed him a small smile and told him yes. But you left as soon as those words left your lips, Clyde didn't understand why you were rushing but he was hopeful that he might see you for sure tonight. He finished up the cleaning at the bar and went home to find something nice to wear.

~as soon as you pick up Rubi after work, you take her to your house~

"(Y/n) you can't just tell the guy you're in love with that you might see him on Valentine's Day and then never show up just cause you saw him talking to another woman, he doesn't know it's you yet so you can't assume that he must be looking elsewhere. Maybe it's a friend of his or maybe a family member ya know?" Rubi tried to reason with you as you sat at your desk looking at all your scrap book paper, you were feeling heartbroken as you read the different poems you had scribbled all over the sheets and sheets. Writing different sentences of how you felt for Clyde until you found the best one to place onto his letters before giving them to him at night.

You sighed as you turn to look at Rubi as she sat on your bed. She wouldn't tell you that she's already given him your letter about the reveal. She knew for sure that he likes you back, she trusted that feeling.

"You didn't see how she was holding his hand...how he seemed SO happy when he smiled at her..I haven't seen him smile at me like that.." Rubi groaned a little. She remembered how he was acting around you when you both saw him at the flower shop the other day.

"He doesn't know it's you yet you dummy how could he look at you with stars in his eyes if you won't meet with him and tell him face to face it was you?" You shrugged as you were too down to even process what common sense she was making.

"I..I just...I can't bare to see his face when he really does find out it was me who sent him the love letters..I-I think he'd be disappointed now that I've seen he can find someone much prettier than I..." You said with a small hint of hurt in your voice, you tried not to cry. Rubi then goes towards you and grabs your shoulders.

"Stop talking about yourself like this! You are someone totally worth staring at with stars in their eyes and feeling like they're turning into melted butter when they see or talk to you. Just cause you're not some super model doesn't mean you don't deserve to fall in love." Rubi says sternly. You stared at her still some tears down your face. "(Y/n)... you deserve someone who's gonna make you feel like melted butter as weird as that sounds but you love food so deal with my weird saying.." You chuckled just a little as Rubi continued. "Just..just don't run away, give it a shot and go to him tonight and tell him how you feel, if he laughs in your face then he's not worth your heart of gold, only a good man will be able to carry that kind of pure heart, kinda like the hammer and thor ya know?" You giggled at her saying yet again, it was a weird lecture slash positive affirmation but it cheered you up a little.

"Alright..i I'll try but will you be there with me atleast on the sidelines Incase I need you?" You ask softly, Rubi smiled and showed you her pinky.

"I pinky promise." She says with a sincere smile. You interlock pinkies sealing the promise and you got up and got dressed for tonight. You decided to wear a red dress with black leggings and a Jean jacket since it was cold outside. Rubi drove you in your car to the fair as you were trying to be calm and think about what you might say tonight when you see him. Rubi stops at the bar like you asked and left a letter, Rubi knew he wasn't in as she didn't see his car but you didn't notice as you were nervous so she left a letter saying 'you better treat my friend right and may you both be happy ' under his door and came back to the car as you head to the fair.

Finally you arrived at the fair and Rubi held your hand as you both walked inside the fair after paying your tickets. You didn't know that Clyde had arrived earlier feeling excited as he searched high and low where his 'admirer' might be. He saw someone in a red dress but the hair color was different so he didn't give it much thought as he searched for you. Glancing at the flyer Rubi circled letting him know where to go and he went to the direction. Suddenly he saw the same red dress and he caught a glimpse of your face and suddenly he was trying the best he could to reach you before you might leave.

"Rubi will you atleast tell me why you're putting me in a specific part of the festival area now? You've dragged me here the moment we've come inside the fair." You say shyly as you were so nervous you didn't know why she was pulling you away when you thought you had to meet Clyde somewhere else like it might've been in your letter.

"Shhh just stand here and breathe in and out slowly..t this is uh a spot you gotta be to relax before we search for him alright?" Rubi says while secretly trying to find Clyde, he was tall so it shouldn't be this hard but it was as everyone was here and some were very tall like him.

"I appreciate the thought but I need to go look for him I I gotta just get it over with..a as soon as we finish this the faster I can go home and hide in my room under my blanket.." You groan as you were so nervous you wondered where he might be now. Not knowing he saw your face when you were running to the spot and he instantly followed hoping it was you, now slowly coming behind you and Rubi went slightly wide eyed as she glanced at you.

"Hey um (Y/n)....I think you're gonna have to turn around. You looked at Rubi confused for a second and then you heard the voice that's made you easily blush every time you heard it.

"(Fake name) Is it really true?" Clyde asked as he stares at you with a hopeful look in his eyes. He noticed your hair was different but thankfully your face was the same as he knew it was you the moment he saw you from afar. You then turn around slowly to see him holding the final letter you had left for him on his door.You weren't sure how he had found you at a fair full of people but then you looked in the direction Rubi was at as she snuck away to the side and she smiled and waved. Showing you her flyer papers she held in her hand. Then you realized what she had done.

She must have left him a note on the fair flyer and put it on his door right after I had went to bed the other night..that would explain the gas being lower than I last checked.

"It's true..Clyde. A-and my name isn't (fake name)....it's actually (Y/n)..I-Im sorry I didn't tell you my real name before. I-I wanted to be close to you a-and to be terribly honest I forgot why I used a fake name but..the words and feelings I put in those notes were all true.." You swallowed whatever frantic nerves you felt as you waited for Clyde's response. He breaths a sigh of relief, he didn't mind that you had given him a fake name. He then walks towards you, his height making you gasp briefly and then tilt your head to look up more.

Then his right hand comes up and gently cups your neck. He then leans down moving towards your face and it made your heart stop but you didn't pull away.

"It's okay, I was actually really hoping it was really you..and I love you too." He whispers with a wide smile. You then smiled wide back, your nerves and excitement was blasting through the roof. Now you weren't sure if you should kiss him right now or not.

"Is it alright to kiss you?" Clyde asked you, it made you smile more at how considerate he was even after he knew your feelings for him.

"Please do." You blushed, feeling happy but also shy as you could feel people staring at the both of you. He was about to lean in and his smirk from before came back. "Please what?" He asked wanting to hear it again. You smiled shyly.

"Please Clyde." You say softly but loud enough for only him to hear as you blushed an even darker shade of red and he couldn't help but smile wider. He had brought his hat down to cover both of your faces and you could hear some people groaning which made you both chuckle. Then slowly you both leaned in and kissed. You couldn't help but giggle like an excited teenager as you kissed him. You pulled away briefly to jump into his arms wrapping your arms around his neck and your feet hung in the air as you kiss him deeper.

Making him drop his hat to the floor and some of the people who watched were wooing for you.

You kissed for what felt like hours as you had to pull away to breath, making you giggle again. He smiled at you and scratched his head briefly.

"W-well now that we are getting everything out and said, I got ya something..from the bean bag tossing game we played a few days ago." He stammered as he pulled the small toy out from his pant pocket. He pulled it out and placed it in to your hand, closing them to make your hands cover the toy.

"Don't open your hands just yet..." He smiles as you looked at him a little lost once more. He chuckled at the look on your face.

"Why not?" You laughed as you looked down as his large hands covered what was in your hands.

"Okay just a warning I..I won this a long while ago when we were hanging out together and I've been saving it..look." He says with a smile as he waited for you to see his present for you. You opened your eyes and you felt tears forming at the ends of your eyes.

"I-it's beautiful.." You muttered. He smiled and wiped your tears away as he sees you stare at the plastic ring. "It's not a real one but I wanted to give it to ya to show you I like you an awful lot.." He smiled as he helped place the ring on your ring finger but it's on your right hand instead of the left. He leans in and kisses you gently as you stare at him with such happiness. Rubi then came over and hugged you tightly, suddenly seeing you and Rubi together had Clyde wondering about how this all started.

"I've been curious for a long time (Y/n) but...haven't we met before?" Clyde asked curiously. You and Rubi looked at one another, you mentally let out a huge sigh and then laughed.

"Yes we have actually...we met at your bar a year ago. Rubi was drunk and you had offered to help me walk her to our car. I actually..developed a big crush on you since that night and once in a while I would stop by your bar to see you. T-then my feelings for you grew then um.." You paused. Clyde grew curious again. "One day at your work I overheard your brother talking about Valentine's Day and...I wanted to show you my feelings with each letter until we met today.." You admit shyly. "So I had the idea to give you secret letters until Valentine's Day happened and..I show you it's me?" You say sounding awkward. You didn't know how he'd feel knowing you liked him as a stranger for a year and then out of the blue started leaving him love letters.

Then all you could hear was the festival around you, the people walking and laughing or simply chatting or dancing nearby. You realized Clyde was being really quiet and you don't know why.

"C Clyde..are you bothered?" You ask sincerely.

But then he smiled and picked you up and twirled you around for a moment and placed you back down leaning in to kiss you.

"Wow.." You said with a giggle. "I I was worried you'd be creeped out by me." You said. He shook his head no.

"No I've met way crazier..heck my brother's crazier." You both giggle. "But I for one am glad we met and you gave me those letters..as weird as our meeting was..I'm really happy right now. Will..will you be my girl?" He asked. You started to tear up again and smiled saying yes. After that Rubi went off to ride some rides while you and Clyde held hands, danced, and talked the night away as an official couple.
