Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!
This is a pretty quick fic, and I'm afraid it is the only one I can post for the holiday. Whether or not I decide to post more valentine-themed stories through the rest of the month or not, that will be left to luck's chance.
So anyway, read and enjoy!

It was Saint Valentine's Day and the Gems were doing what they usually did: Amethyst was being a slacker, Garnet looked completely deadpan and seriou at all times and Pearl was cleaning a bit, mostly Amethyst's mess. Steven was sitting on the table, looking pretty bored.
And then a sound catched the Gems attention, who turned around to see the doorknob slightly move and the door starting to open. The door opened and the Gems took out their weapons, aiming them firmly at the door as the figure went inside...and revealed herself to be Connie, who was hiding something on her back.
"False alarm, It's just Connie." remarked Garnet as the Gems put their weapons back in their place and Connie closed the door.
"Happy valentine's day!" enthusiastically greeted Pearl.
"What brings you to our house?" asked Garnet in her usual deadpan tone.
"If you want to be Stevonnie again, you'll have to wait since Steven is still not in the mood for another go." informed Amethyst to the girl.
"Actually, I came here to give Steven a gift." corrected Connie.
"Is he your valentine?" questioned an enthusiastic Pearl.
"No, nothing like that."
Connie reached for her back and took out a box of donuts, earning surprised looks from the rest...except Amethyst, who was drooling like crazy.
"Did you bring some for us too?" asked the drooling Amethyst, who received a light hit in the shoulder from Pearl. "Ouch!"
"Amethyst, don't be ridiculous! Of course Connie-" Pearl's tone changed once Connie took out a second box of donuts from her back. "Brought another box of donuts for us?"
"I thought you'd ask, so I brought two packs just in case." answered Connie as Amethyst quickly grabbed the box.
The Gem laughed like a hyena and fled as soon as she could. Pearl and Garnet gave chase to the fleeing Gem as Connie went to Steven and sat on the table with him, putting the box down and opening it. A happy Steven grabbed a donut the first chance he got.
"Thanks for the donuts, Connie!" uttered Steven before he devoured a donut, grabbing another as he spoke again. "So, who will be your valentine? That's an usual Valentine's Day thing, right?"
"Yeah, but for now, how about we just enjoy the donuts?" replied Connie with a nervous tone.
Steven devoured his donut as he nodded in response. Connie then reached for the box and just as she grabbed a donut, Steven reached for the same donut, touching Connie's hand in the process. The duo noticed and exchanged shocked stares before they blushed and they split the donut in two pieces, which they both ate shortly afterwards.
The End
