Sydney was the first to wake up. He was tangled with his beloved boyfriend TJ, and his heart was warm beyond belief. Would it be possible for two beings so be so united? Sydney would like to think that, and held his lover tightly.
"Ow" said TJ.
"Sorry" maybe it was too tight.
The lynx yawned and looked into the eyes of his beloved. The two exchanged a tender kiss, just the lips touching.
"Happy Valentine's" TJ said.
"Shit, it is already?"
"Language. But yes, I marked in my calendar.
He disentangled from Syd, grabbing his phone.
"See? But I didn't make plans for today. That's where you come in."
"Oh, you know me so well!"
The two exchanged another kiss, a more passionate one, before going to their morning routine.

Payton did not have a great deal many of cherryblossoms, but there was a magnolia whose pink petals offered something. The two stopped by the park and sat in it's shade. They had grabbed chicken sandwiches - no bread for TJ - and a bunch of Valentine's cards as well as a scizzor and glue. Sydney was hard at work building a massive V-day card by slicing the cards and gluing them together. When the glue dried he took out a red pen and wrote several short love poems.
"How about this one" he asked:
"Violets are red,
Roses are blue,
We lit up the world
Me and you?"
"I see you inverted the roses and violets for some reason? N-not that I don't like it, far from it!"
"Eh, just playing around with the rhyme. How about this:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I can see the sky
In you?"
"Oh, I like that. And works the other way around too, since you have great blue eyes."
"D'aw, thanks."
The two leaned on each other, apreciating the sunlit day as they munched on their sandwiches.

After resting in the park for a while the two went to get ice cream. The deer manager gave them the stink eye and in turn Sydney stared him down, before TJ wrapped an arm around his and led they both away.
"The nerve of that guy" Sydney sighed.
"Forget him. This day is about us."
"Yeah, you're right. Race you to the car?"
"Oh it's own!"
Sydney never skipped leg day, but he was still an otter, so TJ arrived to the car faster. It was a foregone conclusion, but both always had a laugh about it, before kissing each other tenderly.
Both entering the car, they kissed each other passionately.

"Wish this day never ended" Sydney said, sweaty and covering himself with the sheets.
"It doesn't have too" TJ said, "I for one would love to hear more of your poems."
"They dodn't get stale?"
"No, because you're a creative genius."
TJ booped Sydney's snout, and that activated the otter to fill the lynx's necks with tender kisses.
"How about this:
Tomatoes are red,
Eggplants blue,
I'm a devil in the sheets
And so are you?"
