Happy Valentine's Day
Some are long, some are short, most are eerily similar, and George's is a lot like my Sirius one from Hogsmeade in Winter but oh whale

Doctor Who
Nine -
It's Valentine's Day, and the Doctor has next to no idea what to get you.
Key words: next to; he's going to let you decide.
He lands the TARDIS outside your apartment, and when you enter, grins at you. "Happy Valentine's Day, love."
You chuckle a little at his goofy grin. "Happy Valentine's Day to you, too, love. What are we doing today?"
"Well, that all depends on where you want to go," he replies.
You think for a moment, then break out into a grin. "Let's go visit Victor Hugo."
The Doctor's brows furrow, but he starts pushing buttons and things on the console all the same. "Why Hugo?"
"I hear he was fun at parties."
He laughs, pulls a lever, and then you're off on your next adventure. Yes, aliens come and try to destroy the Earth, but you do make friends with Hugo. And once that's over, the Doctor takes you to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
What could be more romantic than that?
Ten -
"So, what exactly is it that you've got planned? I feel like I should be worried," you say to the Doctor after entering the TARDIS.
He called you about ten minutes ago, informing you that he had plans for Valentine's Day, and that he was coming to get you. So, you got dressed as quickly as possible, and now here he is.
"Well, I said it was dangerous, but that also means it's going to be fun," he replies, grinning.
"So... what is it? Where are we going?"
"Well, we're technically not going anywhere," he answers. "We're staying here in the TARDIS."
You quirk a brow. "But, knowing you, it's more than that?"
He grins even wider. "Of course it is; we're going exploring."
Your eyes light up. "Really?" For months now, you've been wanting to explore the hallways of the TARDIS. The Doctor insisted you couldn't go by yourself - and for good reason - but you've both been too busy saving worlds to actually do it.
He gestures to the hallway behind him. "Happy Valentine's Day?"
You excitedly hurry over to him, then kiss his cheek. "The happiest."
He laughs, then takes your hand. "Allonsy!"
Eleven -
"Did you actually...?" you trail off, looking at the paper the Doctor's just given you.
You're standing in the TARDIS, dressed in the fanciest outfit you've worn since prom.
And you're holding an itinerary.
"Uh, yes, I did," he replies. "See, we've got dinner in Paris at 6, then Ye Old England at 7, then-"
"How are you going to tell what time it is when you're jumping in it?" you ask, cutting him off.
He stops, thinking. "We'll just have to set a timer, then."
You half-laugh and half-sigh, taking the itinerary from his hands. "Or, we could not worry about the time at all. I mean, look at this thing; this is a hefty schedule. And it's so unlike you."
He sighs, running a hand through his hair. "I know. I just - I wanted to do so many things tonight, but I couldn't figure out how to fit in all in."
"Doctor, you have a time machine."
"I know," he replies, "but we're going to get tired at some point, and there's a lot to do."
"Well, how about we save all these trips for another time, and we do something else tonight," you reply, setting the papers down on the console and wrapping your arms around his neck.
"Like what?"
"Like being spontaneous. Let the TARDIS decide."
He grins. "I think I'd like that idea."
So, that's what you did for Valentine's Day. You were very inappropriately dressed for the time period you were sent to, but you had fun nonetheless.
Harry Potter
Draco -
All day, in between classes and at meals, you've been with Draco. You'd previously agreed not to get each other anything and just try spend the day together as much as possible.
Then, after dinner, Draco says, "Let's go to the Black Lake." He takes your hand and you walk down to the water as the sun begins to set. You take in the moment contentedly. Then, Draco takes something out of the pocket in his robes. He smiles a little, holding a small box. "I know we said we weren't going to get each other anything, but..."
He opens the box, revealing the most beautiful necklace you've ever seen. "Draco..."
"Do you like it?"
"I love it," you reply, "but now I feel bad because I didn't get you anything."
He shakes his head a little, taking the necklace out of the box and putting it around your neck. "Just being with you is enough for me, love."
How adorably cheesy.
Fred -
You're a little nervous about what Fred's going to do this Valentine's Day. He said it was going to be big and spectacular ("Only the best for my best girl."), and, knowing Fred, that will be an understatement.
You gave him his gift this morning at breakfast - some of his favorite sweets from Honeydukes and a few Dungbombs for him to split with George. However, he said your gift would be coming later.
You're wondering exactly when "later" is as you walk into the Great Hall for dinner.
Then, you realize Fred and George aren't there.
Before you can say, "Oh, Merlin," Errol slowly flies in carrying a Howler.
That's what you say, "Oh, Merlin."
Errol gives you the Howler, and, not wanting to delay the inevitable, you open it.
"ATTENTION HOGWARTS," Fred's voice booms, "I NEED EVERYONE TO STEP OUTSIDE FOR A SPECTACULAR SPECTACLE LIKE NOTHING YOU'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE. AND MAKE SURE THAT Y/N Y/L/N GETS A FRONT ROW SEAT - SHE'S VIP."
Everyone looks at you as you all make your way outside, much to the dismay of the teachers. They can't do anything about it, however, because Fred (surprisingly) had the good sense to okay this tomfoolery with Dumbledore.
When you get outside, you politely push your way to the front. Fred and George are floating high above the ground on brooms, looking down on all the students. Then, Fred, using an Amplifying Charm, says, "LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, LET THE VALENTINE'S DAY FIREWORKS SHOW BEGIN!"
And then it does.
Bursts of light and color in various shapes and sizes crack across the sky. Some are huge, multicolored circles and stars, others are hearts and flowers, and a few are some of your favorite things.
Then, the finale: a gigantic, pink heart with 'F Y/I' in it.
You look up at Fred, who winks at you.
George -
George, not wanting to be in detention on Valentine's Day, decided spectacle wasn't the way to go for your gift.
No, George - upon realizing that Valentine's Day falls on a Hogsmeade trip - has a different idea. Some might even think it better than fireworks or a very loud, very cheesy serenade in the Great Hall.
You're going to Madame Pudifoot's.
Madame Pudifoot goes absolutely all out for Valentine's Day, and it's very popular with the cheesy, make-you-want-to-throw-up-in-your-mouth couples.
So, you're going to make fun of it.
You walk in, hand-in-hand, holding back laughter. You look up at George. "I'm so glad we decided to come here, Honey Bun."
He stifles a laugh and smiles down at you. "Me, too, my little gumdrop."
He pulls your chair out for you when you sit down, then reaches across the table and grabs your hands. "I love you, Cuddlebug."
He actually means it (minus the Cuddlebug), but he says it in the lovey-dovey voice he's been using since he walked in.
"I love you, too, Boo Bear," you reply.
Then, you order some cookies and tea and pretend to stare into each other's eyes dreamily for a few seconds until you crack up.
When the cookies and tea arrive, you eat and drink with your pinkies up, continue to call each other cheesy nicknames, and just generally irritate some of the people around you with how ridiculous you're being.
All in all, it's a fun Valentine's Day.
Harry -
Harry - considering he doesn't really have access to his small fortune - doesn't have much to offer you for Valentine's Day. But, he still wants to do something special.
After getting advice from Fred, George and Hermione, he finally gets an idea.
He tells you to meet him on the Quidditch pitch after dinner, but he won't tell you why. When you get there, he's standing in the middle of the pitch and holding a broom.
"Is what I think is going to happen about to happen?" you ask.
He chuckles. "Depends on what you think is going to happen." Then, he sets his broom on the ground and brings it to his hand, preparing to fly. He gestures in front of him at the broom. "After you." Grinning, you get onto the broom, and he gets on behind you, wrapping his arms around you to hold onto the handle. "Ready?" he asks.
"Beam me up, Potter," you reply.
He laughs, then you take off on a high-speed tour of Hogwarts.
Best Valentine's Day ever.
Neville -
This Valentine's Day agenda is actually your idea this year, and you're honestly pretty proud of yourself for coming up with it.
Step One: Buy just about one of everything they have at Honeydukes...
After getting off the Hogsmeade carriage, you grab Neville's hand and make a beeline for Honeydukes.
Once inside, you buy as much as possible, using money given to you by your parents. You leave with about two big bags.
Step Two: Enter the Room of Requirement...
You haul your bags up the numerous staircases and find the Room of Requirement, walk past it three times, and think about exactly what it is you need.
You enter to find a couch, blankets, and a small table. You smile. "Are you ready to make ourselves sick?"
Neville chuckles. "I was born ready."
Ron -
Ron has been racking his brain for weeks, trying to figure out what to get you. Everything he can think of is too expensive for him - and things that aren't aren't good enough gifts.
When Valentine's Day rolls around, he has nothing to give you. You, of course, give him something from Honeydukes.
He explains why he has nothing for you. "Anything I could think to get you, I... I couldn't afford." He mumbles the last part. "I'm sorry."
"Ron," you say, walking closer to him and placing your hands on his shoulders, "you don't have to apologize. I don't care whether I get a gift or not; I've got you."
He smiles a little. "Really?"
You chuckle. "Really. Now, how about we go to The Three Broomsticks for a date, huh? I'll pay."
"But-"
"I asked you, that means I pay. Come on, Weasley."
He relents and lets you pull him to the Hogsmeade, unable to wipe the smile off his face.

Blaine -
You hadn't heard from Blaine the whole day, save for a morning, 'Happy Valentine's Day' text. This didn't bother you; you didn't particularly care about Valentine's Day and you figured he was busy with his various businesses.
However, at six thirty, there's a knock on your door and you open it to find Blaine standing on your porch. Before you can speak, he says, "You, me, dinner, 8pm; I'll pick you up. Wear something nice."
And with that he starts to walk away.
You playfully roll your eyes. "You're lucky you're cute."
He stops and smirks. "So you think I'm cute?"
"We've been dating for two years," you reply, "Of course I think you're cute."
"I think you're pretty cute, too." He winks.
"Considering you drove all the way to my house just to tell me we're going to dinner, I would think so."
He sighs. "Yeah, you caught me."
You laugh. "See you in an hour and a half, dork."
You spend that hour and a half taking your time getting ready. Then, Blaine shows up a few minutes early with flowers.
You take them and put them in a vase. "You're early."
He shrugs as you walk out to the car. "I missed you." [did anyone catch that reference or...?]
"You're cheesy."
"It's Valentine's Day."
"Touché."
He laughs and opens your door for you, then gets into the driver's side.
When you arrive at Romero's, the place is empty, and a table in the middle of the room is set and has a lit candle on it. You sit down. Not long after, Don E walks out in a tux, carrying drinks and looking miserable. You bust out laughing.
"This is humiliating," he says.
You continue to laugh, then Blaine sighs. "Just get the food and you can go."
As Don E leaves, you wipe tears from your eyes. "That was great."
Major -
Major thought it was a cute idea to stay in and watch a cheesy romance movie for Valentine's Day. In theory, it seemed fun. So, you made some popcorn, sat down, and turned on the movie.
And it sucked.
"Where did you find this?" you ask about twenty minutes in.
"It's on Netflix; Ravi told me about it," Major replies.
"Then never take movie recommendations from Ravi again."
"Noted." You turn it off and sit back for a few, silent minutes while Major searches for another movie with no success.
You sigh. "I'm not in the mood to watch a movie anymore, anyway."
"Then what do you wanna do?"
You shrug. "I dunno."
After a few moments, Major grins and stands, pulling you up with him. Then, he pulls out his phone. "I have an idea."
"Oh, boy."
A few seconds later, The Way You Look Tonight is playing from his phone, and he's grinning like an idiot. He bows and holds a hand out. "May I have this dance?"
"Are you serious?" you ask, arms crossed.
"Oh, come on, Y/N/N, it's Valentine's Day." You sigh and relent, grabbing his hand. He spins you around and you sway a little. "See? This is fun."
"This is gag-worthy."
"We're so adorable."
"Mhmm."
Ravi -
Ravi promised you he was going to take you out for Valentine's Day. He had to work, but he was sure he'd be off in time for dinner.
Then, a murder occurs.
A few murders.
They want him and Liv to do the autopsies, so he calls you for the second time in thirty minutes and explains the situation.
"Ravi, it's alright," you assure him.
"No, it's not," he replies, "I promised you."
"And something came up. It's okay. We can go tomorrow."
Ravi pauses, then sighs. "I'll try to hurry, okay? Just... I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Okay. Love you. Bye."
"Love you, too."
Around three hours later, you've fallen asleep on the couch, still dressed as you got too lazy to get up and put on pajamas. Also, Ravi said he'd hurry.
Autopsies take a while, even with two doctors.
He uses his key to get in, and he finds you on the couch. With a sigh, he closes the door a little too loudly and you stir awake. "Ravi?"
"Hey," he says, walking over to you. "It's really late; you should get to bed. We'll go out tomorrow."
"You're leaving?" you ask, still half-asleep.
While he's disappointed that he didn't make it in time, he finds this extremely cute. "Yeah; I'll come back tomorrow."
You shake your head a little and grab his hand. "Stay with me."
He stops, and finds that there's no way he can say no. "Alright." He makes himself comfortable on the couch, wrapping his arms around you. You're asleep almost instantly.
There'll be a crick in your neck in the morning, but it's worth it.
Supernatural
Cas -
Cas was pretty much clueless about Valentine's Day; he didn't even know that it's widely celebrated - or how it's celebrated - until Dean offhandedly mentioned it a few weeks prior.
Thankfully, Cas decided to ask Sam to explain rather than Dean, and he even got some good advice out of it.
You, however, had assumed you weren't doing anything for Valentine's Day.
So, on the day of, when Cas presents you with a teddy bear and a box of chocolates, you have nothing to give him in return.
"I didn't know we were doing Valentine's Day," you say, absolutely sick over it. "I didn't get you anything. Why didn't you tell me?"
"It was a gift, so it had to be a surprise."
You sigh. "Just... Just wait right here. I'm gonna run out and get you something-"
"You don't have to do that," he interrupts. "I don't need a gift."
"But you got me a gift."
Cas thinks for a second. "Then... you can be my gift."
Your brows furrow. "What?"
"You," he repeats. "Being with you can be my gift."
Touched, you engulf him in a hug. "Okay. But since you're human right now, you're splitting those chocolates with me, too."
"Okay."
Dean -
Today is Valentine's Day, so here you are, picking up an apple pie for Dean on your way home from a hunt with Claire. (She called saying she needed help and Dean sent you to her immediately, which you found odd).
When you enter the bunker, apple pie in hand, you loudly and half-sarcastically call out, "Honey, I'm home!"
Then, to your surprise, Dean comes out of the kitchen wearing a 'Kiss the Cook' apron over jeans and the sweater you got him for Christmas as a joke, thinking he'd never wear it. He has, however, but just around the Bunker; it's warm.
You stop. "What in the world are you doing?"
"Cooking," he replies, "which makes me the cook." He wiggles his eyebrows, pointing to his apron. You playfully roll your eyes and kiss him with a little difficulty, considering you're still holding a pie. He takes it from you, then says, "Now, go ahead and get changed; I'll set the table."
You look at him for a moment. "Christo."
"What?"
"Just making sure it's really you."
He rolls his eyes. "It's Valentine's Day; I'm allowed to be cute."
You concede and go get changed into something business casual, then come back into the kitchen. "Did you actually make all this or did you order it and put it in our dishes?" you joke, looking at the smorgasbord of a meal he's prepared.
"I made it all myself," he declares proudly. "It took me all day."
You chuckle, walk over, and kiss him. "Thank you, Dean."
He shrugs, blushing. "Eh, it's Valentine's Day; I had to."
Jack -
It's Valentine's Day, and Jack Kline has absolutely no clue. That doesn't bother you at all; you're not a fan of Valentine's Day anyway.
You also know that if he finds out about it, he's going to make it his civic duty to fully participate in the holiday.
You've done a great job at keeping it from him so far, and you're pretty sure you're in the clear now. But then, over dinner, Dean mentions going out.
For Valentine's Day.
"What's Valentine's Day?" Jack asks.
"An unimportant holiday created so companies can sell candy and teddy bears and completely unnecessary things that you could buy cheaper at any other time," you reply immediately.
"It actually originated as a feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus, but you're explanation works, too," Sam adds.
Jack sits there for a moment, thinking. "I'm confused."
"It's a holiday to celebrate love and stuff," Dean says. "So if you're dating somebody, you go out to dinner and get them a gift - like candy or flowers or something."
Jack immediately looks at you, but you cut him off before he can say anything. "It's not important. We don't need to do anything special today."
"But aren't you supposed to?"
"It's not like it's mandatory."
Sam grabs his plate and heads out, Dean following behind him. "Yeah, we'll just let you two have this conversation alone."
Jack ignores Dean. "What about dinner?"
"We're eating dinner right now."
"Or the gifts?"
"We don't need gifts to-"
Before you can finish, Jack pulls a small bouquet of flowers out of thin air and hands them to you across the table. "Here. Merry Valentine's Day."
You're too shocked by the fact that he can do that to correct him. "Thanks."
"You're welcome. And don't worry, you don't have to get me anything."
Sam -
In the week leading up to Valentine's Day, neither of you said a word about it. You didn't think you were doing anything, but you got him something anyway; a box of chocolates.
Sam decided to step it up a little.
He shows up - unannounced - with flowers and says that he's taking you to dinner.
You take the flowers, then grab the chocolates you bought for him. Holding them out, you sigh. "Well, now my gift seems a little lackluster."
He chuckles and takes the box. "I love it."
"Sure you do."
After that, you get changed quickly, then head to dinner in the Impala, of all things.
"How'd you convince Dean to let you drive it?" you ask, enjoying being able to sit up front for once.
"With great difficulty," Sam replies.
You talk all the way to the restaurant, where you have a lovely date. Then, afterwards, you fall asleep on the couch back at the Bunker, watching a movie and eating chocolates.
Twenty Øne Piløts
Josh -
Coincidentally, one of Josh and Tyler's shows ends up falling on Valentine's Day. This isn't a problem considering you're on tour with them, but it does get in the way of you going out to dinner or something like that.
That night, you're dancing and singing along, filming for Josh's Snapchat, when Tyler says, "Josh has something he wants to say."
The crowd starts cheering loudly as Josh walks over to where Tyler is at his piano. Tyler shushes the crowd. "Hey, hey, hey, he hasn't said anything yet."
The crowd goes quiet as Josh leans down to the mic. There's a long pause, then, finally: "Happy Valentine's Day, Y/N."
The crowd goes absolutely nuts, but they get even louder when you walk on stage. Tyler hands you the mic.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Josh."
Tyler starts laughing, but it's drowned out by cheers. Then, as you walk off, you jokingly blow Josh a kiss, and he pretends to catch it.
The screams were deafening.
Tyler -
Unfortunately, Tyler is away on Valentine's Day, but you make time for a long Facetime for the occasion.
You mainly talk about what's been going on in each other's lives, but then you move on to the fact that you really miss each other.
I know; how adorable.
"I wish you were here," you say sadly. "Actually, I wish I was there."
He chuckles. "Me, too. But I'll be back soon."
"Not soon enough."
"I know," he replies. "I can't believe I'm missing Valentine's Day."
You shrug. "It's not that big of a deal; it's not like it's Christmas or something."
"Still."
You think for a moment. "You know what would cheer me up, though?"
"You just said-"
"Smithereens."
He sighs, but he's smiling. "Really?"
"Yes, really," you reply. "It's my favorite."
"That's 'cause it's about you."
"Exactly."
He takes a moment, but then he finally begins to softly sing the song to you through the phone, and the smile on your face is definitely worth the awkwardness of no music in the background.
