Kyouko & Ren/Kuon
February 14th, fifteen years before the events in Wine Jelly…..
Kyouko fidgeted nervously with a small heart shaped box outside of Tsuruga-kun's dressing room. It was their first Valentine's Day after becoming a couple and she had made chocolate him a single dark chocolate truffle with a white chocolate center. Since he didn't really like sweets—or food in general—she made him only one. Scolding herself for being shy towards her boyfriend, Kyouko knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in," came a faint reply.
She slowly opened the door, hiding the heart shaped box behind her back unconsciously. Tsuruga-kun looked up from a script for a new movie and smiled. "Good morning, Kyouko. Do you need something?" he asked, setting his script down.
She blushed and held out the box. "Um, H-Happy Valentine's Day, T-T-Tsuruga-kun." She shoved the Valentine's Day chocolate into his hands and ran out the door as fast as she could. Ren sat in his dressing room, all brain function failing for the moment. He hadn't been expecting Kyouko to give him anything for Valentine's Day since she was still recovering feelings of romantic love. So that his girlfriend would take the initiative to make him chocolate was way beyond his expectations.
Slowly, Ren's brain function returned and he was faced with a dilemma. Was he going to eat just her chocolate or—he turned to look at the stacks and boxes of chocolate from the staff, coworkers, and fans—was he going to eat all of the chocolate? God, he hated Valentine's Day; he had since he'd been deemed Japan's Most Desirable Man. Now he hated it more, if that was even possible. Torture made everything worse, he decided as he set Kyouko's chocolate on the table with a sigh.
After the events in Wine Jelly...
Kyouko smiled as she set the box of chocolate for Kuon on the bedside table next to his phone, knowing he'd find it when Yashiro called to wake him up to an hour or so, after she had left for work. She very carefully slipped out of their bedroom with two other boxes in her arms, the first box was placed on Yuki's bedside table. It was a good sized box with three layers of chocolate: the top tier dark chocolate, the middle white chocolate and the last milk chocolate. Yuki got his appetite from his grandfather alright. He'd go through the whole box and Hime-chan's chocolates by dinner and still have room for more.
The second box was a smaller size and went on the pillow next to Aoi. Inside was an assortment of about a dozen different chocolates which would be consumed in two or three days seeing as Aoi had a more normal appetite than her father or brother. Kyouko smiled, seeing a small white box on Aoi's bedside table. You didn't need to be a genius to figure who those chocolates were going to. She winced, remembering Aoi's previous attempts at cooking. The next time she saw Hino, which would be later at LME—the president refused to get a replacement supervisor of Love Me section—she'd give him something for his upset stomach. She at least hoped he'd hold out that long. You never knew with Hizuri cooking.
