Being cocooned in blankets and pillows with your window cracked open to let a cool breeze in was one of the closest things to heaven there were. The aftertaste of chocolate on your tongue and a soft breeze coming into your room was just serene. Your favorite song playing quietly in the background as you stared at your pitch-black ceiling with a content look.

"I wish this will never end..."

Sadly, your phone started buzzing on your nightstand, interrupting the tranquil peace you were experiencing.

You shuffled your hand out of the layers of blankets and grabbed the small device before flipping it open and looking at the caller ID. You accepted the call and rested the phone on your shoulder as you harshly spoke into the phone with a tired tone. "What the fuck Four Eyes... It's like 9 o'clock at night."

You heard her scoff on the other side along with some shuffling. "Stop being a big baby; we both know you weren't asleep." You huffed in amusement and hummed in response. "Shut up. Why are you calling me? Isn't it really early in the morning over there?"

"It's only five-thirty... But that's not the point- I just wanted to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day! I know I'm 8 hours ahead of you, but~ I want you to call me and tell me all about your day later!"

You let out a gasp and sat up in bed before looking at the date on your phone. "FUCK!"

On cue, your door opened with a red light flooding the room with rose petals flying the room. "Happy Valentine's Day!" You saw Mista and Narancia emerge with a bunch of flowers in their hands.

You let out a scream and jolted awake.

Narancia let out a shout in surprise and fell backward on his ass as Mista laughed. "Jesus- Fuck! Why the fuck are you guys in here?!" You yelled at the two as Mista continued to laugh at Narancia for a moment before answering your question.

"We're waking you up. We always do this, you dummy." Mista pulled on your cheek as you huffed. You slapped his hand away before shaking the cobwebs of sleep out of your mind as the fragments of your nightmare remained.

"Thanks for waking me up..." You grumbled before peeling your covers back and hopping out of bed.

Narancia hopped up and elbowed Mista before whispering something in his ear as you combed your hair and tried to smooth down any frizzy parts of your hair. "Oh! Right..." Mista cleared his throat as you raised an eyebrow and looked at him in the reflection of your mirror.

"We have a surprise for you in the living room! Come out to eat when you're done getting ready- or not- just don't keep us waiting for more than an hour." He stumbled with his words before Narancia pushed him out of the room and closed your door.

"Why do I feel like my dream was a premonition..."

You quickly finished refreshing yourself and threw some lazy clothes on before walking out of your room.

The hallway oddly smelled of floral with a hint of cologne- or was that perfume? You couldn't really tell because it smelled oddly of spice and cocoa.

You poked your head into the living room and saw everyone sitting around the table, quietly chatting. You strained your ears to pick up any hints on what they could be talking about as you eyed the food on the table.

There was a very large plate of bacon, some waffles, biscuits, some fruit, and- wait a minute... "Is that chocolate-covered strawberries?"

You saw Trish's head perk up at the sound of your voice as everyone turned their heads and looked at you.

"Happy Valentine's Day!" Everyone yelled as you paled slightly. "FUCK! So my gut was right..." You mumbled the last part as a few of your teammates gave you a weird look.

"What's wrong? Do you not like the food? We all chipped in to make it up to you since you got hurt during the Carnival." Bucciarati spoke, causing you to stop panicking and letting out a sigh of relief.

"Nothing... The food looks good. I just never been a big fan of Valentine's Day." You shrugged before striding over the table and taking a seat.

"Me neither... I find the holiday pointless." Abbacchio snorted at his own words as he reached over and started to fill his plate. Everyone soon followed his movements and started to pile food on their plates.

You grabbed yourself a generous amount of bacon and fruit. "Why don't you like Valentine's Day?" Trish questioned you as you chewed on some of your food. "Never had a Valentine's, and the holiday exists to boost sales in candy, cards, and flowers. It's just a marketing tactic at this point and I never really cared for the holiday, to begin with." You bit into a chocolate-covered strawberry and looked at the sulking girl with a small smile.

"But I do have a tradition I share with friends on this holiday." She immediately perked back up and smiled back at you. "The day after Valentine's Day, everything thing is marked down, and that's when we buy a shit ton of candy. After that, we go home and watch cheesy movies while making fun of the main characters."

She seemed to enjoy the idea of watching a movie with you while eating fruit and candy with you. The only problem was she didn't want everyone else to bother the two of you- or rather her time with you.

"That sounds like a great tradition actually..." Fugo mused before taking another bite out of his waffle. He was originally going to take you out on a walk around town while spitting out facts about old love songs and about Italy in general. He might've bought himself a pair of skates, so the two of you could've skated together.

"I never thought of how cheap Valentine candy would be once there was no reason to keep it priced so high." Mista enjoyed the idea of literally buying a whole store out of candy. He wondered if you would notice if he gradually filled your bag up throughout the day.

"I'm way ahead of y'all time... literally." You laughed as Giorno folded a flower with his napkin. He was debating if he should turn the bouquet of flowers back into their original forms before you found them in the bathroom. After observing you for months and practically remembering your morning routine of eating then showering, he was pretty sure you would find them in the bathroom before anyone else.

Maybe he should've stuck to the idea of telling you cool flower facts and their meaning while having a picnic in the park together.

"Speaking of movies... do you guys even own old cheesy love movies?" Bucciarati coughed in embarrassment when he realized he has a collection in his room. He didn't consider them cheesy, but wholesome. He was actually considering watching a movie with you later in the day or taking you to the movies, so the two of you could get some time alone together.

"I'm not sure... we might have some in the garage!" Narancia pointed out as Mista hummed in agreement. Narancia just wanted to spend time with you and maybe give you his homemade Valentine's Day card. It had a small piece of candy inside of it; it looked like something you would get in elementary school when you had to pass out candy to the whole class.

"There's none in there, I already checked. I know Bucciarati has some in his room though." Abbacchio pointed out, causing the capo to appear like his soul has left his body. He wasn't really interested in watching a movie with everyone. He just wanted to listen to music with you and share a bottle of wine together. He even bought a more expensive bottle for when this occasion rolled around. He was hoping you would leave a note on it like the last one; which was sitting on his nightstand, so he could be greeted by a piece of you every morning.

"You own cheesy romance movies?" You gave him a wide Cheshire-like grin. He cleared his throat and quickly composed himself before swallowing his food.

"Yes..."

You let out a laugh and continued to grin at the ravenette. "That's just golden! I'm not surprised, but at least we don't have to go out and buy a new movie." You could see a faint blush dusting his cheeks as he looked away and took a sip of his coffee.

"They're not that cheesy..." He mumbled before sitting his mug down.

You laid in bed for a moment and scrolled mindlessly on your phone as you texted Four Eyes. She was telling you all about her day and how everyone got her gifts. You were slightly jealous, but then again, you strongly disliked the holiday.

Four Eyes: Josuke was apparently having a hard time getting me some roses since Rohan kept popping up around me every few minutes when Josuke came into view

Funky: Rohan is that weird writer guy you told me about, right?

Four Eyes: He's not that weird

Funky: Koichi told me about their first meeting and how he licked a spider... I fear that man and I wouldn't touch him, even with a 100 ft pole...

Four Eyes: He was probably exaggerating! I doubt that someone would be crazy enough to do that...?

Funky: I can smell doubt coming from the message through my phone

Four Eyes: Shut up... I have to go! Someone just entered the library and I don't want to be seen on my phone.

Funky: Whatever... I'm going to go prepare for a movie with my friends. Have fun with your roses and spider-licking friend lol

Four Eyes: -_-

Funky: B)

You snorted and closed your phone before putting it in your pocket. "I wonder if they sell Spongebob popsicles in Italy..."

It was like the gods were listening to you as you heard an ice cream truck sing outside the house. "OH HELL YEAH!" You jumped out of bed and threw your window open before jumping out.

You could see the beat-up truck cruising down the neighborhood as you sprinted toward the vehicle at an inhuman speed. Even the song sounded kinda broken as you neared the dirty vehicle. It kinda looked like something out of a horror movie where the dumb teenagers get kidnapped and turned into ice cream.

The truck came to a stop as you panted with your hands on your knees and stared at the small menu on the side of the truck. "Sponge- Spongebob popsicle... SPONGEBOB POPSICLE!" You let out a small screech before looking up as the window opened to reveal the inside of the dark truck.

You didn't have time to react as multiple pairs of hands grabbed you and pulled you into the truck.

"Holy shit! Doppio was right about you liking ice cream." You were stunned for a moment before looking at your kidnappers to see Squalo laughing while Tiziano shook his head in disapproval.

"There's no ice cream...?" You gave them a heartbroken look as you looked a the freezers around you.

"There probably is some ice cream in here if you look around, but I have no idea what Cioccolata stored in these things." Squalo patted the top of the freezer as you heard a laugh coming from the front of the truck.

"What do you think I put in there? I have to transport my messes to the cleanup crew somehow!" Cioccolata looked into the back of the truck as he continued to drive out of your neighborhood. Secco was excitedly moving around in the passenger seat and eating a popsicle that was melting in his hand.

"Bitch you made me an accomplice to murder by telling me this..." You grimaced at the thought of playing Russian roulette with your eyes.

"Which freezer doesn't have a corpse?" You looked at Tiziano and Squalo as they both shrugged at you.

"Don't look at us. Cioccolata is just giving us a ride since he just finished his mission from the boss..." You scrunched your nose up and stared at the three freezers.

You were about to slide one open until Tiziano put a hand on your shoulder and stopped you. "Don't. I'll look around for you." You stepped back and motioned to the freezer dramatically. "Good luck soldier!"

Squalo snorted and looked over his lover's shoulder as Tiziano cracked the freezer top open. You watched as he immediately slammed it shut with a pale Squalo resting on his shoulder. "HOW DO YOU FIT SO MANY BODIES IN THERE?! HOW DID YOU EVEN KILL THAT MANY PEOPLE IN SUCH A LITTLE AMOUNT OF TIME?!" You could hear Cioccolata laughing in the front over Squalo's yelling as Tiziano moved onto the next freezer.

This time he didn't close it and sighed in relief. "This is the last time we ask for a ride from your crazy ass..." He handed you a popsicle, which you gladly accepted, and started to consume as the two lovers took a seat on the floor and chatted.

"So where are you two going? I guessing somewhere romantic?" Tiziano hummed and nodded his head as he looped an arm around Squalo's waist.

"I'm taking him out for a day of walking around and a romantic lunch." You cooed at his response as Squalo blushed and scratched his cheek.

"At least I know who's the top in the relationship." You joked, causing both of their faces to heat up.

"Who's the top?" Squalo challenged with a cheeky grin, ignoring the fact his cheeks were a crimson color.

"What are you doing for Valentine's Day Cioccolata?" You ignored his question and yelled at the driver.

"I plan on getting Secco a treat and enjoying a glass of wine later." You hummed in satisfaction with his response. "What about you (Y/n)? Anyone special your spending today with?"

You shrugged your shoulders. "My team? We're just going to eat a bunch of sweets and watch movies." Tiziano and Squalo 'oohed' in response as Squalo lightly kicked you with his foot.

"Did any of them give you a gift yet? I wouldn't be surprised if a pretty girl like you received one yet." You scoffed.

"Does it look like this face is loveable?"

"Yes."

"Absolutely."

"Y'all are on fucking crack." They both chuckled as you finished your popsicle and tossed the stick to the side.

"Speaking of which... When the fuck do I get off?"

Cioccolata came to a quick complete stop, causing the three of you to jolt in the back. "Now. This is far as I'm taking the three of you. Unless you want to help unload with me~!" He gave the three of you a toothy grin.

The three of you noped out of there...

"You're always welcome to join us, you know~" Squalo sang as he swung his arm around your shoulder.

"Nah, I don't feel like crashing y'all's date. Have fun though!" The two of them pouted slightly before waving goodbye to you.

You watched them walk off before looking around for a landmark, so could find your way home. Worst case scenario, you'll have to call Abbacchio to come and pick you up and listen to his scolding about approaching shady vehicles.

"Better start walking before I have to call for help..." You began your journey through the streets of Naples and hoped you could find your way home before anyone realizes you're missing.

You only walked a couple of blocks before realizing you were completely lost. "Ahhh, shit..." You wished you paid more attention to where Cioccolata was driving, so you could find your way back home. Kinda like Lassie Come Home.

"How does one drive so fast in an ice cream truck? There's no way he would've been able to get so far in such a short amount of time." You grumbled a few curses under your breath before stopping at a bench and taking a seat.

"Might as well take a break and let my feet rest up a bit while I try to figure where the hell I ended myself up at." You scanned the area and saw couples walking together as a few cars drove by.

It was pretty depressing watching a bunch of couples laugh together while you sat alone on a bench. "Wow... I'm pretty pathetic." You let out a dry laugh and pursed your lips into a thin line.

It did actually hurt now that you looked back on it. You spent Valentine's Day relatively alone in the past and grew to hate the holiday. You did always celebrate the horrendous holiday the day after with your equally alone friends.

Days spent crying over a broken heart, rejection, and being alone in general. Your father made holidays like this more bearable with his gifts of chocolate and music, but once he was gone... you hated the holiday even more. Maybe it was because it reminded you of him? You weren't so sure yourself, and you never took the time to reflect on it.

"Guess who~!" You felt a pair of hands cover your eyes as you grimaced at the annoyingly familiar voice.

"Let me guess... foot fetish guy?" You heard Melone snort before he uncovered your eyes. "Good guess. What are you doing all alone?" He slid onto the bench with a motorcycle helmet tucked under his arm.

"Taking a break. I'm trying to figure out where the fuck I am." Melone chuckled and ruffled your hair. "How the hell did you end up so far from home? Especially on foot."

You laughed and smiled at his questioning stare. "Two words. Psyco Killer." That told him nothing about how you ended up so far from home, but also said a lot on how you could've ended up out here.

"I'm going to guess however you ended up out here, it wasn't your fault." You hummed in approval and sighed.

"Last time I ever try to get a Spongebob popsicle from an ice cream truck... especially a creepy one. I'm pretty sure I'm an accomplice in manslaughter now." Melone gave you a confused look and refused to question what happened.

"Do you want to ride with me then? I can get you home, and maybe we can have a mini date together~?" He nudged your shoulder a few times until you sighed and gave in.

"Fine... but the moment you pull some weird shit, I'm walking back."

"Di molto~! You won't regret this!" He grabbed your hand and pulled you off the bench before pushing the helmet onto your head.

"Can't have you getting hurt~" He pulled you over to his bike parked on the side of the road before climbing on and patting the backseat.

"Climb on! I have the perfect place we can visit!" You willingly climbed on the back and hesitantly wrapped your arms around his waist. He adjusted your grip on his waist and pulled you closer towards his back before starting the bike.

"Don't lean or let go!" You nodded your head and rested it against his back before he started driving.

You let out a small squeal when the vehicle jolted forward and took off at a quick speed. Melone seemed to be enjoying the exhilaration of having your arms wrapped tightly around his waist as he weaved around cars and speeding slightly over the speed limit while you screamed every time he hit a bump.

"Don't worry~ We'll be there soon!" You really hoped you'd survive this.

"You're fucking crazy!" You panted and caught your breath as Melone chuckled and set his helmet down on his bike.

"Don't be so dramatic~ we're still alive, see?" He pinched your side, causing you to yelp and move away from him.

"Even I'm not that bat shit to drive that recklessly- especially on a motorcycle!" Melone rolled his eyes and grinned before taking your hand. "Come on. I want to show you something." He pulled you through the crowd of couples as you eyed the area the two of you were in.

He pulled you into a market space where tents were set up with produce and valuables being sold at various prices. "Where the hell are we going now?" You grumbled as Melone continued to pull you through the crowd.

"You'll see~!" You were both soon out of the market and going through an alley before he stopped at a fire exit. He jumped up and pulled the ladder down before motioning for you to climb first.

"If you grope me, I'm pushing you off the ladder..." He gave you a devilish grin before you sighed and started your climb with him following shortly after behind you.
