Blair opened the door for Molly as they came from Wonka's.

Molly entered carrying her bag from Wonka's. "Thank you. Where do you want to sit?"

Chloe regarded Blair and Molly for a moment before tossing a handful of hearts at Molly. "Happy Commercialized Romantic Holiday!" she said.

Blair pointed out a table in the front. "How bout we set our stuff over there and I'll grab hot chocolates." He looked up as Chloe threw something at Molly. "Uh...huh?"

Molly laughed as she was pelted by tiny candy hearts. She read a couple of the hearts that got caught in her clothing and laughed even more. "Same to you, Chloe!"

She showed the Bittersweet hearts to Blair before going to sit down.

Blair grinned as he read the hearts. "It's like a protest! Very cool." He went up to the counter and bought three hot chocolates with extra whip cream on top. He dropped one off for Chole before heading over to Molly.

"Happy Protesting, Chloe!"

"Mmm, hot cocoa," Molly said enthusiastically as she accepted a cup from Blair. "That is one thing I like about winter. It makes drinking hot cocoa so much better."

Blair nodded and sipped his drink, ending up with a whip cream mustache. "That's about the only thing I like about winter actually. I'm a not a snow person."

Molly wrinkled her nose. "Me either. I'm from L.A. I'm not used to all this cold."

"I've lived in cold places before, but I've never gotten used to it. Brrr." He shivered dramatically and took a long sip. "So L.A.? What brings you here?"

Molly answered after taking a sip. "My friends all wanted to go to college and I needed to go somewhere. I picked here because my not having been in school for three years didn't matter so much."

"Why weren't you in school for three years? Were you sick or something?"

Molly shook her head while she tried to decide on how much she wanted to tell. She settled on the truths that were relative to his question.

"After our parents were killed, me and my friends ran away from the places we had been sent to by the state. Since then, I've mostly been taught by my friends who were all older than me."

Blair reached across the table to hold Molly's hand. "That's horrible, I'm sorry."

"Sometimes the best educations can be given by people- not systems." Blair bounced a little. "I should know, this is the first time I've ever been to school."

Molly looked down at his hand, really unsure how to accept his condolences. She missed her parents sometimes, but knew that, in the long run, their deaths were for the best. She let him hold it for a moment and then pulled away to pick up her cup again.

She shrugged. "My friends and I had each other. That was the biggest help." She gave him a small grin and happily jumped to the topic of school. "You've never been to school? This must be really different for you. Where are you from that you never went to school?"

Blair shrugged. "My mom is sort of a hippie so I've lived all over the world. She said that we were citizens of the earth and that knowledge was more important than learning the establishment's rules." He grinned and bounced a bit. "I read a lot so I'm not behind in anything."

Chloe grinned at Blair, gladly taking the hot chocolate. "Thank you!"

Jake wandered in, looking very pleased with himself. He ordered a mocha and went to sit down.

Krycek appeared shortly after and ordered drip coffee with, omg, a shot of Irish Cream. He sat down at Jake's table and eyed him silently, sipping at his coffee.

Jake smiled big. "So, how was your day?" He sipped his coffee. "Dear," he added.

Krycek snorted. "Not terrible, sweetheart. Have you enacted any other vengeful mischief, or am I the only lucky one?"

"Only you, so far, but don't worry. I have plans." Jake smirked. "You're horribly surprised, I'm sure."

"Just try not to kill anyone," he warned, smirking back. "So are you going to let me in on them, or do I get to be as surprised as them?"

Jake sipped his coffee as he contemplated it. "Are you going to warn them off?"

Chloe adored Jake and Krycek enough to make a personal delivery, sprinkling a handful of candy hearts onto their table. "Happy Anti-Single People Day!" she chirped, smirking.

"Happy...?" Krycek picked up one of the hearts and snickered. "These are great." He looked up at her, amused. "Not a big V-Day fan?"

"Not especially, no. But I figured sharing my feelings would be better than letting it get all bottled up and emo inside of me." Chloe snickers, chewing on another heart.

Jake picked up a heart - 'I want half' - and grinned. "You can't have my coffee. It's all mine."

"Awwww, you're so mean," Chloe teased. "That's all right, I have plenty of coffee of my own. Besides, you should be sharing your coffee with him." She pointed to Krycek.

"I don't want any of his coffee," Krycek protested. "I've got enough sugar in mine, I don't need to be hyper." The thought of being hyper at all is vaguely disquieting, actually.

"Good, 'cause you're not getting any either." Jake cradled his coffee in his hands. "You kiss-whore, you."

"Kiss-whore?" He smirked and sipped at his coffee.

"Yeah, like manwhore, except less..." Jake waved his hand. He lowered his hand and gave Krycek a sudden sharp look. "At least I bloody well hope so."

"I haven't had sex with anyone but you in the last month and a half," Krycek said firmly, with a quick glance at Chloe in explanation for the period of time given. "I am not a manwhore, thanks."

"Seriously Jake, kissing doesn't always have a ton of meaning. Especially if it's hot kissing that entertains others." Chloe grins broadly and gives Krycek a little pat on the head. "Don't worry, you can kiss as many people as you want and I'll never think you're a whore."

Jake sighed, pouting. "No one understands me." He looked down at the heart he'd picked up and saw the sentiment reflected there. He snorted. "Yeah, I know it doesn't. It's the principle of the thing that leaves the boyfriend wearing mismatched socks today."

Krycek grimaced. "I'd better be getting those back, Dearest."

"Not until you've learned your lesson, honey," Jake said sweetly and finished his mocha.

Chloe looked back and forth between the two of them. "Explain to me how mismatched socks is a good punishment for kissing someone else?"

"It's effective - do you need anything more than that?" He frowned, sipping at his creamy coffee.

Chloe snickered. "Maybe this is just the punishment you need to work on those neurotic tendencies of yours."

Marty walks in and orders coffee. He's happy. Very happy. Beaming actually.

He's possibly humming sappy love songs.

Chloe doesn't even need to think twice before pelting Marty with candy hearts. "Happy Sappy Love Day!"

Marty is is such a good mood he doesn't mind get pelted. He does manage to catch one though. He laughs and says "Chloe I think this one belongs to you."

He then tosses the heart (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/oatmanspatient/oe.jpg") back at Chloe.

Chloe almost throws the heart back at Marty, until she reads the writing on it. Instead, she turns very, very red and tucks the heart away in her pocket.

Then she throws a few more pieces of candy at Marty for good measure before retreating back to her table.

Marty allows the candy to bounce off him. Nothing could bring his mood down today.

Not that the holiday has anything to do with it.

He gives Chloe a happy-happy smile and heads out the door with his coffee.
