— mickey had been dreading valentine’s day. just the month of february in general made mickey wish he could hole himself away from the world for its entirety. he tried his best to not seclude himself, but he’d be lying if he said he had been trying to meet others. he hadn’t been the most social person in the world, but he’d come out of his bed from time to time. part of the reason for getting up was usually to see how ellie was- but she seemed to be thriving without him… he didn’t know why that hurt his heart so much to think something like that. don’t get him wrong, he was happy for her..
but part of him was scared that she was forgetting him.
as she announced that she was handing out cards, for a moment, mick supposed that she would walk right past him without telling or giving him anything. he couldn’t blame her. this was her first time being single on valentine’s day in, what, years? when she paused in front of him and handed him one, he felt everything in him threaten to crumble.
"dearest mickey,
happy valentines day
especially today, i hope you feel how much i love you and how grateful i am to have you in my life. you will forever be my always.
lots and lots of love,
ellie ♡"
she probably said something like that to everyone… right? still, as she retreated to the living room, he couldn’t help but hesitate for a second before following after. he hesitated on walking closer to her, though, instead sticking by the doorway. clearing his throat to get her attention, he clenched his jaw for a moment, anxiously. shifting the card around in his hands, he paused for a moment before murmuring, “thank you.” it was all he could bring himself to say as he lifted his gaze from the card to the blonde. “it was- really sweet, what you said.”
