I should really work on putting these in order. Oh well.

[Prompt: Brendon takes a toll on how to be romantic. The end result; he's not all that good at it]

"Did you know that chocolate is the symbol of love?"Brendon is found leaning against the door frame of his study, one that Louis was currently using as he did his own studies for his upcoming role in a short film by some independent company. It wasn't much, and it sure as well wasn't going to get Louis an academy award, it it was something that he could put on his CV and money on the bank.

Louis lets out a soft hum, not exactly listening to what the vampire is droning on about, because even after the short amount of time that hey have been together, there is only so much that Louis can take of Brendon droning on about what life as like when the streets of London were covered in horse shit.

"And that Milk Chocolate was invented in Switzerland?"Brendon continues, taking slow steps into the room with his hands held behind his back and a smile on his face. Louis doesn't look up, just pushes the glasses up his nose as he continues to scroll through websites and take notes on how his character is to act and background information.

"Babe, as much as I love you, I'm trying to prepare."Louis stresses, looking up whenever Brendon sits himself on the edge of the large wooden desk. It wasn't often that Louis was ever in here doing work, seeing as it is Brendons office, but sometimes it was easier to focus in this large, boring ass room.

It was usually the other way round, with Louis stalking into Brendons office with a dazzling smirk and an outfit that barely covers his ass, trying to get Brendon into bed. Brendon is a hard worker, especially during the day seeing as Brendon is unable to go outside. This time, Brendon is the one trying to gain Louis' attention.

"I bought you chocolate."He admits with a proud smile, showing his hands which holds a box of chocolates in the shape of a heart, pink packaging and a red ribbon bow tied around it. Louis looks up, eyeing the box in suspicion and surprise.

"Well now the random chocolate facts make sense, kind of."Louis teases, taking the box of chocolates with a smile of thanks."But we have loads of chocolate, Bren."

"I wanted to buy you some specifically,"He smiles, watching as Louis opens the box with ease.

Opening the box, Louis' smile drops just a little when he realises that the contents lack the full amount that the box should contain, and ones that remain have bites taken out of them. Looking up, Louis raises an eyebrow at the vampire whose smile is turning more creepy than anything else, but he says nothing of it.

"What is this?"

"Chocolates."

"Brendon, half of them are missing and the other half have 'testing' bites out of them. Did you take these out of the garbage or..."Louis waves his other hand in the air, waiting for an explanation from the dumbass vampire that sits on the desk, his head tilted to the side and goddamnit; a vampire shouldn't be allowed to look so innocent and adorable.

"I had to test to make sure that they weren't poisonous,"He says so simply, with confusion laced in his voice as to what is wrong. Louis rubs a hand over his face, shaking his head in fondness with a laugh before going back to his work, leaving the chocolates on the table.

Closing the front door behind him, Louis rests his head on the wooden door in exhaustion. He can't remember the last time he has worked so hard for a role, but goddamnit it he's trying his hardest to nail every scene and every line that he produces for this piece of shit film. He should be grateful for the role, for even being considered apart of it, but everyone else's acting is lame as fuck and the director doesn't give a shit.

All he wants to do now is curl up on the couch with Brendon, watch a couple of movies and eat some pizza.

Turning, Louis has to suppress a scream as something is practically shoved into his face, making him jump backwards and hit the back of his head off of the wooden front door now behind him. He winces, rubbing the back of his and letting his eyes focus on the bunch of flowers practically shoved into his face by Brendon himself who holds a smile on his face.

"I brought you flowers."He announces with so much affection and proudness in his voice. They're Lillies, bloomed and producing pollen that has already made Louis' nose itch and his eyes start to water. Brendons face falls as soon as he sees Louis' eyes water, panicking a little whenever the human starts to sneeze."What's wrong?"

"I'm -"Louis lets out another sneeze, dropping the bags to the floor as he brings up his hands to cover his nose and mouth, eyes closing."- Allergic."He sneezes again, causing Brendon to stumble back as if he's never witnessed anyone sneeze before.

"Fuck."He curses, glaring at the flowers before throwing them across the room which just makes Louis sneeze more violently, the pollen spreading around the room."I fucked up, shit."Brendon lets out a sad sound, dashing out of the room using that damn blasted vampire speed that he possesses.

"Bren -"Louis sneezes,"- Bren, wait!"Louis calls, wiping at his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket, only met with the sound of one of the doors slamming shut.

Louis lets out a happy sound, spotting the teddy bear that sits on the newly made up bed, plump, soft and dark brown in colour with a red bow wrapped around its neck and a heart in its hands with the words 'I luv You' stitched into the fabric. Dressed in just a pair of underwear, Louis stalks over to the bear and picks it up, noticing how soft it feels in his hands and the sticky note attached to the back of the bear.

'To Louis

I'm sorry for eating your chocolates and nearly killing you with flowers.

Nobody can fault Teddy Bears!

Love, Brendon'

"Such a fucking dork."Louis scrunches up his nose with a laugh, hugging the teddy bear to his chest with a smile on his face."But I love him."

Louis wishes he could say that was the last of the odd gifts that Brendon has been supplying him with, he really wishes, but unfortunately enough the moment that Brendon realised that Louis loved his new teddy bear, more started to turn up on his bed and they didn't stop coming. Louis was overwhelmed with the amount of fluffy, lovey dovey teddy bears that were turning up on their shared bed every evening after Louis' shower and when Brendon has left for work.

Walking out from his shower a couple of minutes earlier than usual, Louis catches Brendon in the act as a new teddy bear is placed on their bed, this time multicoloured with a heart in its hands with 'I love you Beary much' stitched onto the fabric, and goddamn the cuteness of the bear!

"Okay, this has to stop. Now."The human declares, rubbing a towel through his hair in attempt to continue drying himself off. Brendon freezes in his actions, caught in the act as he shifts his gaze between the Bear and his boyfriend."Don't you think about leaving."

"Don't you like my gifts?"The vampire asks, looking hopefully at Louis with the same brown eyes that Louis had fallen in love with.

"The first time round, yes, I adored it. But then they kept coming and coming and- I have 10 teddy bears, Brendon! 10!"He throws his arms into the air, before motioning them towards the Teddy Bear that now sits on the bed."What is this all about?"

"I wanted to be romantic..."The vampire trails off."Everyone in romance novels and films get their boyfriend or girlfriends flowers or chocolates or Teddy bears, and seeing as I ate your chocolates and nearly killed you with flowers, you liked the teddy bear. So I bought you more."

"Bren,"Louis stalks over, tipping his head to look up just a little at the vampire, dressed in a dark suit and as handsome as ever."How can someone so intelligent be so stupid at the same time?"He asks himself, head tiling to the side as he laughs.

"Hey!"Brendon pouts."I was just following the 12 days of Valentines."

"The 12 days of..."Louis looks at him in confusion before he lets out a giggle, bringing a hand up to cover his mouth."Do you not mean, The 12 days of Christmas? Like the Christmas song?"

"No..."He answers with uncertainly, realising that he has a lot of research to do when it involves romance and now to come with it, his boyfriend and the knowledge that Louis has trapped inside his pretty little head. The human seems smarter than he puts out to be, which if he is, is just unfair.

"Oh, Brendon."Louis laughs,"You innocent soul. You have so much to learn."

I'm gong to do a Valentines Day part 2 in the next one shot, okay?
