Will You Maybe Be My Valentine Or Whatever?

Summary

Unfortunately for Brad Hammersmith, Cliff Marlow and Ilya Rozanov have working phones and zero respect for minding their own business.

Or, Marlow and Roz find Hammer a date in Sebbin for Valentine's Day.

It's a texting fic, and set during All Stars 2022.

Notes

Thank you all so much for reading this series and being on the Hammer/Seb journey with me, I'm so very touched by the love mwah mwah!

Note: Some things might make more sense if you read Things You Learn at a Gay Bar in New York on an All-Star weekend, but not necessary :)
