Seth glared at the couples around the bonfire. Jacob, Edward, Quil, Embry: they wouldn't notice, to lost in each other to.

Guitar in hand, Seth stalked down the beach, his thoughts still at the fire. While he couldn't blame them, he hated Valentine's Day.

“Why do you hate Valentine’s Day?”

Seth jumped at Jasper’s voice. “Thought you couldn’t mind-read.”

“I can’t,” Jasper replied sitting in the sand near Seth. “But I can feel your contempt.” The vampire nodded his head in the direction of the other couples.

“Oh. I don’t really hate Valentine’s Day, really it’s just another day. I hate the way it makes people act,” Seth explained.

“And how is that?” Jasper questioned.

“Y’know, guys act sweet but all they really want is to get laid.” Jasper nodded in agreement. “Girls think this day is special when really how their guy treats them today is how they should be treated everyday.”

Jasper watched Seth. He knew Seth was different but he wasn’t sure just how different. Until now.

“I should be heading out. I was on my way to go hunting,” Jasper said standing.

Seth blinked up at him not sure why Jasper was leaving. Was it something he said? “…okay…”

“Goodbye Seth.”

"Bye." Seth watched Jasper disappear. As he turned his attention to his guitar, his eye caught something in the sand where Jasper had been sitting. He smiled.

Call me. 328-259-0491. Surrounded by a heart.

‘Maybe Valentine’s Day isn’t so bad after all,’ Seth thought.

You know, for someone so very young, Seth is a veritable font of wisdom. His observation on how girls should be treated is so spot on:'
“Girls think this day is special when really how their guy treats them today is how they should be treated everyday.”
Hopefully Jasper has changed his mind about the holiday (smirk) 'Call me. 328-259-0491. Surrounded by a heart.' *g*

I think he has. And I find that it's usually the young one's that have the most wisdom.

Was it something he said? That's kinda cute, like kind of a let down and then a super sweet surprise at the very end.
