AN: AU, pardon unintended OOC, and girls give chocolates while guys return the affection on White Day.

Short chapter, also not a flashback chapter.

The book narrowly missed Zoro's head.

"Roronoa!" Smoker shouted "Stop falling asleep in my class!"

Zoro groggily looked at Smoker, while the rest of the class looked at him. Luffy was having a hard time containing his laughter, while the rest were awkwardly looking at him.

"What?" Zoro asked, scratching the back of his head. Everyone broke into laughter, as Smoker glared at him.

"If you fall asleep again in my class, I'll fail you." He said.

Zoro looked at the board. Smoker was writing down notes, and the only thing he finished before throwing the book at Zoro was The Four Stages of Cellular Respiration.

"Glycolysis, oxidation of pyruvate, krebs cycle, and then the electron transport chain." He said lazily. "Can't fail me if I know the answers, old man."

Smoker narrowed his eyes, still glaring madly at him "Just because you know our lesson for the day, does not mean that you can pass this class."

Luffy sniggered, earning him a look from Smoker. With a last look at the two of them, Smoker turned back to the board to finish his lesson.

"You were snoring" Luffy whispered, with a wide smile "It got pretty loud."

"Tch" Zoro rubbed his temple "I'm just glad Chopper is in this class. He was reading that topic out loud for the past week now."

"Shishishi" Luffy chuckled.

Zoro never had a chance to doze off again before the bell rang. It was lunch time, and Luffy was in a hurry to get out of there.

"Come on!" his excitable friend said, as he donned his battered straw hat "I hear we're having pizza today!"

Before Zoro could even register that class was over, Luffy was already dragging him out. They passed by their lockers, and Zoro was able to pull himself out of Luffy's grasp.

"I just need to get something" he said.

Luffy shrugged, then saw Usopp running ahead.

"No fair!" Luffy shouted, running after him.

Zoro couldn't help but smile.

"Zoro-kun." A quiet voice said. And now he couldn't help but mentally slap himself. He turned around to see Conis, blushing and holding several boxes of chocolates.

"They're for you" she said, pushing it to him "But they're not all from me" she hastily added.

Zoro looked behind her, seeing a gaggle of girls trying to hide around the corner, watching their interaction intently. He doesn't know why, but why do shy girls find him so attractive?

"I'm not really fond of chocolates, but thanks" he said softly, but a bit bluntly. Conis was a nice girl, and he didn't want to hurt her feelings.

She smiled, handing him the boxes "Happy Valentine's Day!" She said before turning to leave him.

More chocolates, Zoro didn't even like sweets. He opened his locker and grabbed the one from Tashigi. Chopper and Luffy are going to be really happy, but also really hyperactive. He was just glad that he wouldn't be there for the aftermath of the sugar rush. Zoro chuckled to himself, thinking that maybe he should take the time to see what kind of chaos they could do with that much sugar in their systems. It would be a great distraction.

Now this the third to the last chapter! The next chapter is turning out pretty intense, and hopefully I pull it off. Also, Zoro ended up with shy admirers, only Perona stands as the confident one lol, I didn't intend for that to happen until I reread this chapter.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!
