Written for a prompt at the Dreamwidth/LiveJournal clampkink meme, which goes "Kentarou/Takeshi- That awkward moment when you realise your not!bff has a thing for you."

Sometimes Kentarou wondered if Erii was right all this time. What if Takeshi really was a dolt?

Sure he jested all the time that he would make a lovely bride for his wonderful Takepon and put on a veil spontaneously (and pouted when Takepon didn't marvel at him at the slightest).

But well…when he poured all his heart and soul into making scrumptious chocolate for Takeshi for Valentine's Day and his partner in crime didn't even bothered to taste one – not even one! – Kentarou suddenly felt wounded. And he made a good scene too, bawling mocking tears until Takeshi yelled at him and stuffed not one but TWO chocolate in his mouth to shut him up. Kentarou stopped and was ready to tacklehug him but then of course the stupid Imonoyama Shopping District had to show up and held ransom all the schoolgirls (and some boys) with their chocolates.

Cockblocks.

Fighting crime on a daily basis ended up distracting Kentarou, surprisingly, from the whole Valentine's Day fiasco until a month later when it was White Day. Once again the Imonoyama Shopping District disrupted the school; but this time they rounded up all the schoolboys (and some girls) with their white chocolates. Dispatching them was easy, but Erii was too busy daydreaming about Sukiyaboshi returning her with something special.

Meanwhile back at the headquarters, just as Kentarou was removing his helmet, he felt a tap on his shoulders.

"Huh? Oh, Takepon~"

"SHHHHH!" Takeshi said quickly, eying Erii who was still miraculously distracted in her daydreams. With a scowl he shoved a rumpled package in front of Kentarou's face, muttering something about if he didn't take it right now he'd get a punch.

"What's this? Fancy white chocolate?! Aww Takepon, you didn't have to spend all your family's hard earning penny on me~"

"STOP MAKING ME SOUND SO POOR!"

But they really were fancy white chocolate. None of this made any sense to Kentarou. "But why?"

Takeshi twitched. Takeshi huffed. Takeshi's ears turned bright red. Takeshi's cheeks turned bright red too. Takepon looked too adorable.

"Kentarou, I – I…"

Takepon liked him, too.

"I like you more!" Kentarou declared.

Dropping the chocolates and ignoring the pained look on Takeshi's face for a brief second, Kentarou lunge his arms around the other's neck and smashed their lips together. He heard Takeshi sigh and they stayed like that, until something hit them hard on their heads.

"Get a room, you dolts!"
