A South African schoolboy surprised his boyfriend with an adorable Valentine's Day surprise yesterday, and it's sending Twitter into a meltdown. 
The boy waited outside of his Valentine's class to surprise him with a bouquet of flowers, an "I Love You" balloon and a kiss, much to the delight of his elated classmates cheering him on. I'm not crying, you are.
An outpouring of love and support littered the replies to the tweet:
