~Prompt 7: My Punny Valentine~

"Woman, what the hell is this?"

Hiei looked from the brightly colored piece of parchment to the smiling ferry girl. She had come to him, found him in the park despite his hidden energy. The blue-haired woman was wearing her bright pink kimono and flying on that stick of hers. If it wasn't for the fact that she was still in spirit form, she would have no doubt drawn attention to herself. It was bad enough she caught his attention.

And with a piece of paper no less…

"It's a Valentine, silly," Botan chimed happily, giggling with mirth. The sound was harsh on the fire demon's ears, but mainly because he was irritated at her disrupting his peace with such nonsense.

He was about to toss it away. "I have no idea what that means, nor do I care." He flicked the paper away.

Botan, used to Hiei's cold demeanor, quickly caught the little squared and breathed a sigh of relief before she turned her brilliant and disarming smile back at the demon. "Hiei, read it," she pleaded. "I made it for you."

Crimson eyes widened ever so slightly that Hiei's stoic expression remained intact. If the ferry girl noticed, she said nothing about it. Honestly, Hiei was surprised he could contain his shock that the woman was giving him something, even something as insignificant as the horrid, colorful card.

She looked to him with hope sparkling in her eyes. He figured, since she was so excited about it, he should at least give it a glance.

On the stupid rectangle, there were vibrant colors: pink, blue, purple, and yellow. They looked like clouds, and in the center of it all was a cartoonish looking whale. Hiei forced himself not to outwardly react, but inside he was grimacing over the childish line surrounding the beast.

"Whale you be my Valentine?"

His eyes returned to Botan's, the woman still beaming brightly. "Well?" she asked, awaiting an answer.

Hiei scoffed, but he hid the Valentine in his cloak. He crossed his arms over his chest, fighting a blush threatening to take over. "Fine," he grumbled in irritation. Still, the woman laughed and threw her arms around him. The fire demon rolled his eyes, but he figured there were worse things in the three worlds than playing along with the ferry girl's nonsense.

~X-X~

Vegeta awoke to his little girl jumping onto him, causing him to cough in surprise. "Papa!" she cried happily. "Happy Valwentine's Day!"

The Saiyan's eye twitched slightly before he reached out to steady the bouncy child. He noticed a small piece of paper in her hand. "What's that, princess?" he questioned.

"It's for you," Bulla replied with glee. "I made it at skoo!"

"School, princess," Vegeta corrected, taking the little square from his daughter. He fought a smile when he saw a poorly drawn turtle with a sloppily written, "I'm turtle-y yours!" It was also covered with lots of little pink hearts. He mentally sighed. Both his child and her mother had that affinity for the obnoxious color.

"Do you wike it?" Bulla asked hopefully.

"Oh course, princess," Vegeta assured her. It didn't matter to the prince that it was messy. This little Valentine came from his daughter, and he refused to do or say anything to upset her.

"Yay!" Bulla cheered, bouncing up and down again. "Papa thinks it's pwetty!"

His eyes twitched again. He was pretty sure he hadn't said that. Still, he wouldn't say anything to correct her, either.

With her gift given, Bulla took off to get ready for school, and his wife entered the room wearing an amused smile. "Did I ever tell you that you're cute?" she asked, and they both knew the answer. Vegeta cleared his throat, thinking uncomfortably back to the day the woman offered him a place to stay.

"Hmph," he grunted, placing his daughter's artwork on his nightstand. "She finds the strangest things funny."

"She's a child," Bulma reminded her. "Everything is funny."

"Whatever you say," the Saiyan grumbled. Bulma continued to look at him, saying nothing more. "Was there something you needed?"

"Actually, yes," Bulma replied in a sultry voice. She slowly approached him, leaning down so that their cheeks rubbed against each other. She pulled away only slightly. "I just have one thing to say," Bulma whispered secretively, luring her husband in. Vegeta leaned close, his wife's lips ghosting over his ear. "I otterly love you."

Vegeta groaned and gently pushed her away, the woman cackling in mirth. "Oh, come on, Vegeta. That was funny!"

The Saiyan shook his head but smirked as he chuckled lowly. He definitely had a bizarre family.
