HappyValentine’sDay,self-shippers!

While this is a holiday typically celebrating the bond between those who are involved romantically, don’t lose sight of the fact that all of your F/Os— whether they’re romantic, platonic, familial or parental— intend on showing you as much love as they can possibly fathom today.

Your F/Os love you, and that’s a fact that is never going to change!

Imagine a warm, peaceful winter night inside with all of your F/Os, all huddled together in blankets near the gently crackling fireplace.

It was quite an eventful holiday for you all, but perhaps for your parental F/O(s) especially. They hoped to make sure today was nothing short of excellent for their deeply loved child, whether that meant preparing you a large meal for you and your other F/Os, spoiling you with gifts, and making absolutely certain that you’ve ’dressed warm enough’ every time you wanted to go outside and frolic in the snow. They still think you could have used another layer of clothes to keep warm, but they can rest easy knowing you’re definitely warm now.

Your familial F/O(s), too, have spent the entire day right by your side. Perhaps the most fun aspect of their holiday with you was getting to see your reactions to every present they gifted to you, no matter how big or how small they may have been. Every one of your familial F/Os took quite some time thinking of the perfect gift to give you this year, and the reason why isn’t just because it’s in the spirit of the holidays— it’s because seeing you happy is a perfect gift in itself.

And who could forget the time you spent out in the snow with your platonic F/Os? Depending on how conditioned you are in terms of the colder weather (Or how much you chose to follow your parental F/Os’ recommendations in dressing warm), your platonic F/Os make sure that the time you do spend outside with them is nothing short of a thrill. Playful snowball fights and snow fort crafting were abound earlier that afternoon, and just before you go inside, your platonic F/Os are eager to show you something they whipped up when you weren’t looking… a snowman, sculpted lovingly in your image.

Naturally, throughout it all, your romantic F/O(s) stuck with you throughout the day, too, to a much larger degree compared to your familial F/Os. Pretty much any time you and your romantic F/Os even get a smidge intimate, there’s always somebody rushing over to you to hold a mistletoe above your heads… typically, it’s one of your platonic F/Os, though your parental F/Os are also prone to doing the same.

Though… maybe this time of the year isn’t very easy for you. No matter the reason, there are plenty of people who have a particular disdain of the holiday season, and if you happen to be a part of that group, your F/Os- especially your romantic F/Os- find that to be perfectly valid.

“Hey, Y/N…” your romantic F/O(s) would say to you gently once you and them are spared a moment by yourselves, cupping your cold face in the warm palms of their hands, “I know that December is not an easy month for you. It can be really hard to not think about the things that made it that way, but…”

They envelope you in a safe hug.

“Please don’t forget how loved you are, okay? We want you to feel as safe and comfortable as we can manage, so… if there’s anything that we can do to help you… please don’t hesitate letting us know, okay?”

They loosen their embrace a bit to press their forehead against yours, gazing into your eyes a bit before giving you a brief but loving kiss on the lips.

“We love you, Y/N.”

HappyHolidays,all!
