This day is almost like any other day, except Valentine's Day is today.

Normally, it wouldn't feel too special for many, but it's still a neat day. And now it's amazing nowadays due to the fact that I get to spend it with none other than my beloved everything.

I've learnt some since I celebrated it with her a year ago, and apparently here in Japan, the girls gives chocolate to the boys they like, and White Day is when boys can give the girl a present as a sort of thank you for the present the month before.

We do not have White Day in Sweden, so color me surprised when Touko was a little sad last year when I didn't even know it was meant to be a thing.

But she quickly cheered up and forgave me, because like with her birthday and during Christmas, she has already gotten the best present ever long ago, me that is.

So for today, I will have to survive through the day and later meet my beautiful beloved Touko.

Time flies by luckily enough, and soon I am done for the day. Though, I think I should call up Touko to know where she is at.

Calling her, she is as usual quick with answering:

"Hiii Stephy~!"

"Hey babe, where are you? I am done for the day, sooo figured we should meet up and go somewhere."

"Aah, I am actually at home! I were going to switch over from my uniform to normal clothes. Want to come by and help me choose~?" she asks me, teasing me as ever with the fact how our overall relationship expands in all horizons.

"...Yeah, sure thing."

Heading to the kimono shop, I say my hello to Touko's parents, before getting permission to head inside because why wouldn't I really?

Arriving outside Touko's door, I knock at it before clearing my throat.

"Hey darling, I'm here now." I tell her as she opens the door slightly and immediately shines up upon seeing me.

"Stephy! Just come inside!"

Opening the door a little more so I can slip in, I turn to Touko... who is just in her underwear. "Told ya I would let you choose you know! But you look so cute when flustered, hehe~"

"I never get tired of the sight of you, after all." I reply to her as she giggles before she brings out the clothes I would get to choose between.

All of her outfits she has are always too good, but in the end, we go for her usual casual winter clothes. Looks beautiful on her after all.

After she puts it all on, we are ready to head out. We head out of the kimono shop while Touko clings on my arm and leans her head against my shoulder like she usually does.

We decided to just go around and window shop for this year's Valentine's, as cafeteria is a little way too obvious to head to.

Besides, today we only want to be with each other and not really bump into anyone else. Yeah, if we were to take a seat over at Hazawa's, the probability of bumping into the rest of the band girls is likely, and we rather not hear them complain that they don't have a SO for this day...

At least you can give your friends chocolate, which Touko told me she recieved from Tsukushi, who had been over the weekend made the chocolate herself, before handing it out to the rest of Morfonica.

Heh, Tsukushi always cares so much about everyone, she is admittedly a lovely person. But alas, I just see her as a friend like the rest of the band girls.

Touko, however, is my wonderful and beloved girlfriend that I love so much, immensely and beyond, as always.

"Stephy, you seem to be in deep thoughts again?"

"Oh no, just thinking about my gemstone and light of my life named Touko Kirigaya~" I reply to her as she giggles while heavily blushing as well.

"Ooh, I love just how cute you are..."

"You are more cute and beautiful."

"No more now! Otherwise it's at once straight back home so I can punish you with smothering you with kisses~"

"Sounds good to me!" I reply as we both laugh as we continue on, walking from store to store.

In the end, we really didn't find much, though I did spot some figure I might pick up. "Hey, wanna head home to me? We can play games if you want to, heh..."

"Oh but of course! And when we arrive at your home, I have something special for you~"

Heading home to me, we go inside and I help Touko take off her jacket and cap. She keeps the handbag before she opens it and digs through it.

"Alright, this... is for you, Stephy~!" Touko says as she brings out a heart shaped box. But it isn't chocolate, it's... jelly hearts?!

"W-wait, you imported this from Sweden, to give... me..?" I ask her as she nods and brightly smiles as I grab onto my present. "God, I love jelly hearts and raspberry gum drops, and you remember it from when I said that one time..."

"I take a mental note about my sweetie every time I hear something new from you, hehe~!"

I hug her as she does so back, tightly embracing her as I just am so in love with her all over again. She never ceases to make the happiest guy ever, god damn...

We are soon in the living room where I put on the game I wanted to play with her, which is Pokémon Legends: Arceus. I don't play Pokémon awfully much, but this is definitely a much more fun game in the series since a long while.

Me and Touko take turns with controlling the character and catching the various Pokémon around the map as we chat in the meantime and share a few kisses and eat of the jelly hearts Touko gave me.

"A casual Valentine's like this is just as good honestly. We still love each other so much after all."

"But I do wish I could just off-load all love at once on you because my heart just loves going crazy whenever I am with you~" Touko tells me as we go a passionate kiss this time, pausing the game so we can go all out with kiss.

As Touko is on top of me, she loads me with kisses all over my face as well, before I bring out my phone for a short while and put on a song I've always wanted Touko to hear.

"It's in Swedish, but it describes my love and desire for you so much..." I tell her as I caress her hair as she does so on me. "I cannot even walk without your air in my lungs... Happy Valentine's Day, my beloved Touko."

"Aww... And happy Valentine's Day to you, my one and only Stephy..!" she replies to me as we continue on with the kissing for quite some time. But I don't mind that.

Because with you, my dear Touko, Valentine's Day is never boring.

(A/N: I have wanted to use this song by kent to describe my love for Touko ever since she first came to light back in 2020. But I sadly forgot due to being busy with other things.

However, now when this year's Valentine's Day is here and I am in love with Touko more than ever, finally I go out with this song, that happens to be in my very own language.

That I hope makes it more special, and the video I chose is a very old one, but it has accurate Swedish lyrics and captions provide English lyrics, so check it out if you want to.

Perhaps some day, I should sing this song myself for Touko; my beloved Touko Kirigaya.)
