L-O-V-E (Smoker, AU)

Sorry it's a day late, they'll be another one that's late sometime, but here's a Valentine's Day special for all ya.
------------------------
L- is for the way you look at me.
  Smoker observes her as she sits all the way down on the other side of the cafeteria. There's something about her (h/c) hair, the shade of her eyes, the way she laughs or holds herself, but he doesn't know what; she is different, that's all he really knows.
  He feels a slight pain in the back of his head and he turns around to see Tashigi, "What is it you need from me now?"
  "Ask her out," she bluntly says as she sits next to him.
  "What? Ask who out?" he gives her a confused look.
  "Ask (Y/n) out. I see the way you look at her," she rolls her eyes, "Don't act dumb with me. We're friends."
  "That's her name? (Y/n)," he mumbles and watches the girl chat away with her friends. Although that's a lie. I've known her for a long time, she's always been in my class.
  "Yeah. (Y/n) (L/n), I can't believe you have a crush but don't even know her name," Tashigi chuckles, "I have an idea. You need to come to the movies with me this weekend."
  He blinks turning his head towards her, "No. I'm not going out with you."
  "Come on! We're not going on a date you idiot! Just meet me there tomorrow at... 5:30," she gets up as the bell rings and leaves the room before he had time to refuse again.
  Tashigi stops (Y/n) in the hallway, "(Y/n), you free tomorrow?"
  "No, not really, I have to take care of my younger sister," she looks over her shoulder at Tashigi, "Why?"
  "I... kind of wanted to set you up with a friend of mine. Maybe you two could be each other's Valentine?" Tashigi shyly smiles, "I can watch your sister for you."
  "Tomorrow is going to be crazy... Saturday and Valentine's Day," she thinks about it for a few minutes, "You know what? Sure. Why not, who is it?"
  "Really? Thanks!" Tashigi grabs her hands, "You're not going to regret it because it's Smoker!"
  "S-Smoker?" a light blush dusts her face, "Why him? Does he even-"
  "No questions! Just enjoy yourself!" Tashigi waves, "Oh! Meet at the movie theater! 5:30!"
  (Y/n) watches the blue haired lady walk down the hallway before looking at the clock and bolting to her class; she barely got there on time.
O- is for the only one I see
  Smoker feels his patience wearing thin. Why in the world did she come to my house, pick out my clothes, pushed me here, and then ditch five minutes before the movie started? He sighs, but looks up when he feels a tap on his shoulder.
  "Smoker, right? I'm (Y/n). Tashigi told me to come here today. Happy Valentine's Day," she smiles at him, she feels like her heart's about to beat out of her chest, "Want to watch the movie together?"
  He stares at her, she has to be a figment of his imagination. He nods unsurely, but then confirms it with a chuckle, "Sure. We can do that."
  "Sweet," she walks up to the ticket booth, but comes back with a sly smile, "They're already sold out. Guess I came too late."
  He nods, "Of course, it is Valentine's Day, but it's getting late. Why don't I walk you home?"
  She shakes her head, "Nah. I'm good, and the night is still young, so let's find another way to entertain ourselves."
  She grabs his hand and drags him away from the cinema. She feels the heat rush to her cheeks and tightens her hand around his. She stops at the beach and takes a deep breath of ocean air.
  She takes off her flats and feels the pads of her feet sink into the sand. She throws her hands over her head and jumps into the waves washing ashore, completely forgetting that Smoker is watching her every move.
  She leans down and splashes water on her face. She hears crying and looks towards the direction of the sound to see a little girl, "Hey. Hey, what's wrong?"
  The kid inches away from her before responding, "I-I'm lost."
  "Oh? Did you just move to this part of town then?" she bends down to her eye level and extends a hand, "I'm (Y/n), what's your name?"
  "Aka," she reaches her hand out and they shake hands, "I didn't just move here, but my dad came to the hospital here... and the person watching me left without telling me anything. They told me to go home on my own."
  She frowns, "Where do they live? Do you know?"
  "I don't know where they live, but my mom told me to stay close to water if I get lost..." she hugs a small stuffed animal as she starts to tear up, "I just don't know what to do."
  (Y/n) stands up and takes a deep breath. The wind blows by, causing the skirt of the white dress to sway gently. She releases the breath, cups water in her hand, and dumps it on the little girl.
  "Let's try to get you to smile, 'kay?" she leans down and splashes the little girl, "Come on, splash back."
  The girl unsteadily places the, now identifiable, stuffed dog down and splashes (Y/n) back. She can't help but smile as (Y/n)'s smile is contagious; Smoker sees this and makes his way over to the two now completely in engrossed in a water fight.
V- is very, very, extraordinary
  "What going on?" his voice startles them and Aka hides behind (Y/n).
  "This girl here was lost," (Y/n) places her hand on the girls red head.
  "So you decided to play with her? She could get sick (Y/n), it's cold out here," he sighs, "We should take her to the police station."
  "Aww... come on Smoker," she pouts and ruffles the girl's hair, "She's too cute to return now. Oh! Are you hungry? Can we at least take her out to eat?"
  "Fine," Smoker looked between the two of them and somehow couldn't bring himself to say no, "but as soon as we're done, we're taking her there."
  "Yes! Hear that Aka? We're going out to eat!" (Y/n) grabs the little girl's hands and picks her up to drag her out of the water.
  They walk to the nearest restaurant, order, and sit down. She waits for the food while Smoker sits down with Aka. The little girl cracks a smile and it doesn't leave her face the whole time they talk. (Y/n) smiles to herself. I didn't know he was good with kids.
  She takes the food back to the table and they chat while they eat. Once they're done, much to (Y/n)'s disappointment, they walk to the police station.
E, is even more than anyone that you adore
  "You two make a cute couple. How long have you been dating?" Aka asks holding one of both their hands. They both blush and look away, Aka looks in between both of them and quietly whispers, "I ship it."
  When they get to the station, they found out that the girl's guardian just figured out she was missing and went looking for her, so she wasn't too baldy missed; as she was walking away she turned back to them and shouted back, "Smokey! Make sure you treat her right! A lot of guys will want someone like her! Oh! And kiss her! Girls love that!"
  Both of them stand there until she's completely out of sight. Then (Y/n) turned to Smoker, "So, Smokey. You have something to tell me?"
  "Maybe," he clears his throat and swallows, "I actually want to thank Tashigi for this on Monday, but I enjoyed myself today. And I wanted to ask you out myself, but I was scared. So, to make up for it, will you go on another date with me sometime (Y/n)?"
  "I'd love to!" she exclaims as she throws her arms around his neck. She feels his lips on hers and she pulls away, "What was tha-"
  "I wanted to see if Aka was right," he chuckles and pulls her back, "Did you enjoy it?"
  "Yes, actually, so much that I think I want to try it again."
And love was made for you and me.
