2nd Person's POV
'All right... I have the chocolate, red wine...' you listed in your head as you checked your shopping bags, checking you had everything to make homemade chocolate wine for Albert.
'...sugar... and-huh?' you stopped mid-way as you looked up from your bag, staring at a doll shop's window display.
You gasped as you stared at a cute chocolate brown tuxedo cat stuffed toy.
It also had emerald green eyes, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Albert.
"Would you like to take a closer look?" an older voice perked up, snapping you out of your trance as you turned around, seeing the shop owner offering you a warm smile.
"O-Oh, sorry..." you sheepishly apologized, not realizing you'd been caught staring.
"You can also customize the dolls if you wish," he added, perking your ears.
"Customize how?"
"You can put them in outfits you desire and add accessories," he answered, pulling out a tiny outfit and bowler hat.
"How much?" you pulled out your wallet, your eyes burning with resolve.
'Worth it...!' you silently cheered as you waited for the shop owner to pack your new stuffed toy cat in a gift box, its fur resembling Albert's hair color while its eyes matched his emerald green ones.
Even the suit and top hat resembled your lover's wardrobe.
"Thank you for your patronage," the shop owner smiled as he gave you the box.
"Thank you...!" you happily took the box; your delight could be seen from miles away.
As you were about to leave the shop, an idea struck in your mind.
"Excuse me," you hurried back to the shop owner, making him look at you curiously.
"You don't happen to do commissions, do you?"
'Just four weeks... I can't wait!' you happily thought as you stirred the chocolate wine, glancing over to the gift box.
As you prepared the chocolate wine, you didn't notice Albert entering the kitchen.
"Well, don't you look merry," Albert teased as he hugged you from behind, kissing your head.
"Albert!" you excitedly greeted as you hugged him back, kissing him on the cheek.
"Welcome home," you grinned, making Albert raise a brow with a smile.
"Did something good happen?" he asked, making you freeze.
"I-Is it that obvious?" you questioned, touching your face and feeling your aching cheeks.
Albert breathed out a smile as he looked over your shoulder, seeing the chocolate wine and gift box.
"Chocolate?" he questioned, making you nod.
"Happy Valentine's!" you beamed, giving him the better-looking drink and taking the other, clinking them together as you took a sip.
"I will be honest... This gift is more for me than it is for you, but this reminded me of you," you admitted as you pulled the gift box closer, making Albert chuckle.
He gently opened the gift and saw the customized toy cat, surprising him.
"Where did you...?"
"I saw it in a doll shop," you smiled, taking out the toy cat in a suit, "It's even customizable," you grinned, showing off the suit.
"It's cute, right?" you asked as you hugged the toy lovingly, almost making its top hat topple off its head.
Albert was about to agree, finding it adorable and funny how you customized the toy to look like him... If only you wouldn't cuddle it with so much affection in front of him.
As much as he loves to see you smile, he can't help but feel a tinge of jealousy over how elated you looked over a toy cat that resembled him.
"Yes," Albert replied flatly, grabbing the toy by its head and pulling it out of your grasp,
"It is," he agreed as he hugged you tightly, kissing your forehead.
"But I would prefer if you showed me the same level of affection, dearest," he smiled, throwing the toy out of the kitchen.
You bit the inside of your cheeks as you stifled a laugh, not expecting to see him grow jealous over a toy.
"Very well," you smiled, hugging him tightly as you peppered his face with kisses, making him relax as he kept holding you close.
You managed to find the toy again and bring it to bed, cuddling it to sleep.
Albert quickly saw you and almost threw the toy into the fireplace... but he settled to hiding it from you in the basement as he cuddled with you instead.
