Chocolate

Yankumi nearly jumped out of her skin in surprise as she saw her late night visitor. In the door it was Odagiri Ryuu standing in all his cool might, with Tetsu and Minoru a good step away from the teen with his infamous murder glares.

The teacher was speechless. She really had no idea what the redhead may have wanted from her at such hour. (She has already made a great mess of the kitchen and threw the wasabi and other horror-flavoured chocolate into the bin.) And Ryuu was just staring at her with a pack in his hands. There were nothing written on his face that would have helped Yankumi to find out what he needed. She had her hopes, that there were no problem with fighting, since Odagiri had no bruises, which meant it may be no serious trouble… Or at least not with him.

"You went mute, or something?" Odagiri mumbled on his usual matter of factly way and sent her an "are you stupid?" glare as greeting.

The rude statement hit Yankumi like a punch, she knocked against the doorframe and made a miserable (but not less funny) expression.

"How rude~" she mumbled "Greeting your beloved homeroom teacher such way!" and she already went into hiper-Yankumi mode "I'll have to teach you guys how to talk properly! So that everyone could be proud ofthe way you talk! The way you speak can show your pride and enthusiasm and heart! That would lead you to victory in the battles of life!"

As she finished, she looked at the three men in front of her. While Tetsu and Minoru's eyes were gleaming with the shared enthusiasm – (led by their own for their Ojou) Ryuu was…- well, Ryuu was being Ryuu.

His well-shaped eyebrows frowned a little bit, but he kept his cold attitude.

"Whatever" he said not caring for Yankumi's programme of a course for the future. "I just need your kitchen."

Yamaguchi was in utter shock, her jaw dropped and stared at her student as if she wanted to make sure, Ryuu didn't say that the sky was a bright shade of pink. But the teen just stared back at her with his usual blank expression.

"What can you not understand in that?" he muttered slightly irritated.

Well, it wasn't Yamaguchi's evening…

Valentine's Day came and that threw the whole 3-D into a fever. They were all excited and counted the possible number of chocolate they may get this year. They gathered in the middle of the classroom and with the lead of the Tsuchiya, Hyuuga and Take trio sang their stupid marching song for chocolate.

Hayato himself was in the band of course. He was no less excited than all of his classmates. His battle with Ryuu started again. Childish fighting, but who cared? They were always fighting for dominance even if it wasn't that obvious. They inspired each other. (Ryuu won some duels too, and because of that had he the privilege of being the only one able to stop Hayato even in the middle of his craziest actions. Not as if he took advantage of that too often.)

He was sure, he'd win this time. His day already started with a small box laying on his desk only waiting for Hayato. It was a small white box with pink stripes and a nice small bow. And inside rested the most delicious chocolate he has ever tasted. He wanted to rub the pretty box in to Ryuu, but just one glance at the sweet was enough to change his mind. So he couldn't hold back and ate it. He tried his best to keep patient to enjoy the full taste of the chocolate.

So as Ryuu entered the classroom (with a groomy expression that surely scared everyone off of his way) and plopped down to his chair next to him, Hayato greeted the redhead with a triumphant grin, brighter than the midsummer sun.

"No chocolate so far, pretty boy?" he teased and held up his now empty precious little box that had gained him such wonderful moments so early in the morning.

Ryuu looked at him, scanning in Hayato's joyful face, his gaze lingering over his full lips. Hayato started feeling uncomfortable under such gaze, but just grinned even brighter. Ryuu's bad mood can't ruin his! – he decided.

Ryuu slowly reached out, with one finger touching the edge of Hayato's mouth and ran along his lower lip teasingly. Then he licked his fingertip, the corner of his mouth curving up a little bit, upon stealing that small remaining of chocolate from Hayato.

"I've just had some now" he answered. "Nice taste"

Hayato's first wave of shock vanished and was laughing now. Ryuu was in the game after all!

"You know, it doesn't count stealing my choco!" he threatened playfully.

"As if I needed" Ryuu snorted and the challenge was on officially again. "I don't need such manners to beat you!"

"Don't have your hopes! I'm gonna win more than you!"

Just after this stared the singing and Hayato joined them absolutely filled with the fighting-spirit. However Ryuu just took his usual place on his chair, only millimetres away from falling off, rather lying than sitting, and rested his head on the back of the chair. Ryuu closed his eyes, let a soft sigh escape his lips and then he responded to nothing until the schoolbell rang signalling the end of the day. Only this sound could awake him.

The day was slowly coming to an end and the leaders of 3-D were sitting at their habitual place in the cafeteria.

When they left Kurogin Gakuen big boxes were awaiting for them at the entrance full of sweets. The two biggest boxes were of course for Ryuu and Hayato. And to their pleasure on their way they met more girls who were brave enough to walk up to the notorious teens and give them their gifts personally. (To be honest, only the girls needed their bravery who dared to walk up to Ryuu. Although the redhead tried his best not to look that scary in order to win the challenge, he found it really difficult, okay, impossible, since he couldn't change his expression quick enough, so 'his' girls unintentionally got a part of the murderous glares Ryuu sent the other girls surrounding Hayato. So in the end, he scared the females around him to hell…)

After all they counted their chocolates and for Hayato's greatest irritation even with his pretty box from the morning, they were at equals with 37 pieces.

The others went to the pool to play and let their leaders alone. Hayato was disappointed. He had no idea where did so many girls to Ryuu come from! The redhead passed nearly (=literally) every date Take organized and with his cold attitude and glares scared everyone away. So than how? How does he have so many admirers?

He played with the box from the morning – and recalling the taste of that small chocolate brought some warmth into his heart.

Hayato loved chocolate. Nearly all type, so Valentine's Day was the best day of his year. At these times he really was happy that he was the coolest and most handsome guy of Kurogin. (okay, the numbers didn't show that he was No.1, but it was Ryuu's fault. He surely had cheated!)

While going through his big box, he hoped he'd find another packet of that delicious sweet. It was milk chocolate, but so good that he has never tasted any similar by those he bought at the store. And was full with strawberry! Not that too sweet mass of sugar that had some absolute not strawberry-like flavour, but real strawberry!

The two things Hayato was crazy for!

There was also a small piece of paper in the morning box upon which he had his hopes on.

If you want some more – tell me!

There was no way, he didn't like such wonderful thing and wanted more! Much more!

He just didn't know how and who he should tell? He didn't know the sender after all!

"So... you liked it?" he heard Ryuu's voice from beside him.

Hayato forgot where he was, he devoted all his attention on his precious chocolate.

"I love it!" he exclaimed, trying with all his might, so that the redhead would feel from his voice how much he loved, rather adored the sweet! How rich its taste was, everything in harmony, not too sweet, but perfectly sweet for him! Just perfect! As if the sender had known very well all the things he loved…

Ryuu just mumbled something under his breath.

Then all of a sudden, before Hayato's all attention could've gone back to his nostalgic thoughts of the morning, Ryuu pushed another box in front of Hayato. It was a similar, yet bigger box with pink stripes and golden spots.

"You won" Ryuu said as he leant back in his seat, keeping his gleaming eyes on his best friend.

"I don't need your pity!" Hayato spat back angrily and wanted to push the box back -when he realized how similar it was to his. "How did it get to you?"

Did this box get to Ryuu by accident? and was the one he's been looking for so much? Or did Ryuu get it too, and so it was just a coincidence that it matched his taste so much?...

"It's yours" Ryuu said firmly and sent Hayato a glare. But Hayato still looked puzzled at him, and didn't get the hint…Ryuu was getting irritated.

Hayato as if under some kind of spell opened the box and just stared at it. There were four layers of the chocolate, nine piece each and in the middle was a fresh red piece of strawberry half covered in choco.

"Ryuu…" Hayato muttered still awestruck.

"Happy Valentine's, Hayato" said the teen and as Hayato turned his head into his direction he took his chance and gave a quick kiss on the full pink lips of his best friend.

Then leaving Hayato to his thoughts as shocked and puzzled as he was, Ryuu left in a hurry.
