They stood face-to-face in Domino High's main hall. A few feet were all that separated them.
"Oh, come on," Anzu said, trying to hide her embarrassment with bluster. "This can't be the first time a girl's given you chocolate."
Kaiba continued to stare at her. He made no move to take the small bundle from her outstretched hand. Around them, a crowd began to gather.
Faint color bloomed at the edges of his cheekbones, and his great blue eyes widened in shock before he consciously narrowed them. And then, in his most obnoxious drawl, he said, "Forgive my shock." He seemed on the verge of beginning one of his vicious tirades, and Anzu knew that if he did, she'd have all her laundry aired to what looked to be half of Domino High.
This called for drastic measures. She crossed the few steps between them and reached for Kaiba's wrist and pressed up, so his hand lay flat. She dumped her small bag of chocolates into his palm.
Their hands stayed clasped for a moment, the chocolates between them. She was close enough that she could feel the heat from his body, muted though it was beneath his school jacket.
He smelled like expensive cologne and good, clean soap.
"Happy Valentine's Day," she said. She looked up at his face and gave him her best smile – the one she usually reserved for dance recitals. "Kaiba-kun."
He jerked his hand back. The chocolates went with him.
He began to push past her.
"Don't expect anything for White Day," he said, breath unsettlingly near her ear.
She turned to watch him walk away. He didn't look back, but she noticed the care he took as he put her chocolates into the side pocket of his trousers.
