He was glad that he hadn't missed it yet though, honestly. He wouldn't say that he was a big romantic or anything, but he wanted to do something for her, even though he knew it probably wouldn't be spectacular or anything. And as he watched Aspen watching him, her chin resting on her palm and her light eyes trying to see what was on his hand, he had a rather amazing revelation. Though just moments before he had been internally freaking out over whether or not Aspen would be upset with him for forgetting Valentine's Day, thinking that the day had already passed and Aspen, like any other girl he'd ever had feelings for in the past, would be angered, suddenly he wasn't that worried anymore.

Because very suddenly, as he realized the holiday hadn't passed entirely, he also came about the realization that he sort of wanted to do something for Aspen? It was strange and a bit foreign to the boy whose past Valentine's Days (when he'd had a girlfriend) had been filled with rather foolish gifts that he had only purchased and given because the girl in the picture would've been dramatically upset if the expected roses weren't there.

"Are you into Valentine's Day?" he couldn't help but ask, curiosity on his face. Either way, he knew he would try to do something for her, but he was curious.
