I know it isn't as close to Valentines as it should be for me to upload this, but I just have this idea and it will bother me until I write it, so here you are!
--------
"No, go away," he sighs for the millionth time getting aggravated; the only reason he hasn't punched the junior high kid yet is because she's Smoker's kid, "I don't have time for this."
  The (h/c) girl frowns and stops at the cross in the road, "Alright... I have to wait for Luffy here anyway."
  He looks at her out of the corner of his eye as the boy runs up to her; her frown from Kid's rejection being replaced with a smile. Kid shakes his head as Killer pays him on the back.
  "Morning," Killer smiles at his best friend, "Something happen?"
  "She won't leave me alone," Kid sighs and glares daggers at his friend as he laughs, "Quit laughing will you?!"
  "I'm sorry, but I like (Y/n)," Killer readjusts his backpack strap, "what's so bad about her that you won't date her? She's energetic, non-violent, and she's always smiling."
  "She's too energetic, she hates violence, and her smile gets on my nerves," Kid takes his shoes off to put on his indoor tennis shoes, "I don't get why she's after me. We're complete opposites. Plus, she's in junior high. I'm not dating someone that much younger than me."
  "You sure it's not just because she's Smoker's adopted daughter?" Killer jokes knowing it'd make Kid that much madder.
  "It's not that. I couldn't care less if Smokers her quote unquote dad," Kid slams his locker close and he goes to class.
  Killer watches him storm off and he shakes his head, "He's making everything so much harder than it has to be... oh... right... Valentine's Day is coming up."
----------
  "(Y/n)... what are you doing for Valentine's Day?" Luffy pouts slinking into the desk.
  "He's probably going to be getting a lot of chocolate... so... maybe... I'll make him something else," she slinks down into her deck, "but I don't know what!"
  "Hmm..." Luffy sits up, "After school, you need to come with me! We can ask Robin!"
  "Alright! That sounds like a plan!" she agrees with him and sitting up when the teacher walks in.

  "Robin! I need help!" she bursts through the door of the twenty-three year old's home.
The woman chuckles, "What is it this time?"
"Valentines," (Y/n) pouts and Robin pats her legs.
"Let's see what we can do about that," she kindly listens to what (Y/n) has to say and makes a suggestion for a certain item instead of chocolate.

For the past few weeks (Y/n) hasn't been bothering Kid. He had barely seen her and, for some reason, he misses the annoying younger girl.
"Valentines Day," he mutters to himself on his way to school, "the worst day to ever exist."
"Morning," Killer tugs on Kid's jacket, "You seem in a worse mood than usual, what's up?"
"I'm going to go into a chocolate coma. I hate Valentine's Day. So much girls confess and it annoys me when they cry over the rejection," Kid sighs, "At least give me something other than chocolate!"
"Geez," Killer shakes his head at his friend, "You really have negative feelings about Valentine's huh?"
"Yep," he spits, "I never get as much as Trafalgar did. It pisses me off."
Killer sighs, "That's what this is actually about?"
"Not all of it," Kid says, "but most of it... yes. Yes it is what this is about."
Killer shakes his head as he walks to class. Kid rolls his eyes as he walks into class and sees there's already girls waiting.

(Y/n) practically flys out of her desk as the final bell rings. She waves to Luffy and waits at the cross where she always splits off with Kid in the morning. When she spots him she bounds up to him.
"Kid!" she wraps her arms around his neck, "Happy Valentine's Day!"
He sighs as she unlatches herself from him to pull out her gift. She takes out the gift and hands it to him, "I hope you like it."
He pulls at the bow and unsurely opens it. His face contorts with surprise and a tiny bit of happiness, but don't let him know that she saw that. He looks at her a little confused.
  "What is this?" he asks even though he already knows what it is.
  "It's my Valentine's Day gift for you! I expected you to get too much chocolate, so I t-" he pulls her into a hug as a guy on a bike almost ran into her.
  He sighs, "Watch what you're doing idiot."
  "S-sorry," she answers thinking he was talking to her, "I-if you don't like it-"
  "Shh," he looks away blushing, "Be quite. Can't you hear it?"
  She shakes her head, "No. Hear what?"
  He stays silent and puts her ear to his chest. His heartbeat was irregular, much faster than it should be. She looks up at him and smiles. She pulls his head down to her chest; her heartbeat the same tempo as his.
  She grabs his hand and starts to walk home together without another word. He walks with her with a small smile on his face. No matter how much Kid would argue, he was wrapped around her pretty little finger.
