Without further ado! I bring you:
Gift in Return
Chapter 1: Valentine's Day
It was Valentine's Day; that dreaded day of which Yuki despised so much. Well you would too if you had rabid fangirls chase you down baring all sorts of chocolates for you. But then again, Yuki was alone when that happened so maybe this year would be different?
Yep, that's right; Yuki had a boyfriend, well an oh-so-secret-boyfriend, but a boyfriend nonetheless. It had been over a few months since Yuki started dating Kakeru.
But, hell, who would've thunk it? Yuki and Kakeru. Kakeru, fucking, Manabe, the most annoying guy on the planet, well at least at the school, but anyways; those two were an odd couple. To be precise, exactly polar opposite, but you can't deny what feels so right in your heart.
But enough about Yuki and Kakeru being exact polar opposites—and onto Yuki's dilemma, today was Valentines Day. And Yuki didn't even know what to get his boyfriend.
Chocolates are too common, and roses seem too silly. Yuki thought as Mayuko sensei drowned on about the meaning of Valentines Day. Even the teacher is all a flutter... Yuki thought tapping his pen to his mouth.
Maybe a dinner for two alone? Wait what if he takes that the wrong way? Are we even there romantically? Yuki thought again writing down different possibilities for the two to spend their Valentine's together.
Maybe Tohru and Kyo are doing something? Yuki thought as Mayuko sensei broke everybody up into groups to write Valentine Cards.
"This is so childish!" Kyo yelled from his seat. "I'm not a kid, if I wanted to express my love in a card—hell I wouldn't even do that!!"
"Shut up and write, idiot," Uotani said throwing a wad of paper at Kyo.
Kyo and Tohru have been dating since about, three months? "Hey Tohru-san, I have something to ask you." Yuki said turning around in his desk to face Tohru. "What are you doing today?"
"Um, I've work today?" Tohru stated dumbly. "Um, that's not...I meant what are you doing for Valentines Day?" Yuki said rephrasing his sentence. Yuki knew Tohru worked too much, but, not to where it was affecting her brain.
"We're going to see a movie after she gets off of work," Kyo stated simply as he started writing in the construction paper Mayuko sensei gave him.
Movies, actually that wasn't such a bad idea. If it weren't for Kakeru's bad taste in movies. He'd rather go see kiddy movies instead of the type of movies Yuki wanted to see. Although, the plus side to seeing kiddy movies was Yuki got to see how childishly cute Kakeru acts, it's rather adorable.
But seeing as Yuki didn't want to go to the movie theatre he had to scrap that idea.
What else was there to do? Surely there had to be something, it was freaking Valentines Day! "There has to be something to do today..." Yuki said sadly, as no ideas came to his head.
"Yuki!? You actually like Valentines Day?" Uotani said thinking her ears have failed her. "No wait, lemme rephrase that...you like somebody!?!"
"W-well..." Yuki blushed as he pen dropped with a small thud to his desk.
"Take her to the fair..." Hanajime said cutting her Valentine Card.
"Ohhh! Yeah take her to the fair! I bet she'll love it!" Uotani said as she continued writing in her own card. "I love the fair!" she added offhandedly.
Yuki blushed again, well obviously Uo-san and Hana-san hadn't quite known about Yuki's love interest, but Kyo and Tohru did, simply, because they lived in the same house as he did. Damn Shigure.
"Oh...the fair! She'll love the fair!" Tohru squealed in delight
So that was how Yuki came up with the whole: "Take Kakeru to the fair" plan. Boy some plan it was going to be.
After school Yuki told Kakeru to meet him at the train station.
"Yun-Yun!" Kakeru called obnoxiously waving him down, "where we goin huh Yun-Yun?"
"Somewhere..." Yuki said trying not to smile. But as easy as that sounds, ignoring one of Kakeru's famous pouts wasn't.
"You know Kakeru; it's hard for me to believe that you're the seme..." Yuki said folding his arms as he waited for the train.
"B-but! I just wanted to knooow!" Kakeru said pouting even more, leeching onto Yuki.
"Yup, defiantly hard to believe..." Yuki said trying to fight a blush.
"Awww, Yun-Yun doesn't believe I can be a seme..." Kakeru said sliding his arms around Yuki's waist, and nuzzling his neck slightly.
"Kake—" Yuki moaned as he looked up for the train. "Tr-train...l-lets go..."
"Awww, but I was starting to have fun..." Kakeru said as he let go of Yuki and followed him inside. "But really, Yuki, where are we going?"
"You'll see..." Yuki said happily as he sat down. The fair was in Kyoto, so they did have a long way to go, but luckily it was a Saturday (A.S. yesh I know Valentines Day wasn't a Saturday, it was a Thursday? W/e it was...but, I want them to have all day, without getting nagged at about it being a "school day" and all...and oh...I also have no clue where in Japan they are...so I'm just saying the fair's in Kyoto! Plus there are a lot of purdy sites in Kyoto too :D) and they had all the time in the world.
A few hours flew by as Kakeru saw the different scenery pass by, "no really Yuki, where are we going?"
"You'll see!" Yuki said beaming, "our stops almost here." Yuki replied causing Kakeru to fall back in his seat and sigh, as the weather caught his eye. Dark clouds were forming over—wherever they were heading. But, Kakeru decided for the best of it, not to ruin whatever Yuki was planning. "Here we are." Yuki said bouncing out of his seat as he walked out of the train, Kakeru following behind.
"Yuki-kun, are we in Kyoto?" Kakeru asked examining the scenery, noticing that some of the landscapes were from some his history text books.
But Yuki said nothing, and just trotted along looking ahead of the streets.
"AH! There it is!" Yuki squealed (A.S. if he doesn't squeal...well now he does! Kekeke) as he grabbed Kakeru's hand and pulled him along.
"Yuki, just, what is that?" Kakeru asked sounding confused as a light rain began to drizzle.
"It's a fair!" Yuki said as he pulled Kakeru inside the entrance gates. Talking quickly to the ticket lady, "two please..."
Maybe this isn't such a bad idea after all...Yuki thought as he pulled out his wallet to pay for the two tickets. "I haven't been to the fair in ages..." Yuki sighed raising his arms.
"I haven't been to the fair at all if that makes you feel any better..." Kakeru said looking around in amazement.
Wait a minute; he hadn't been to the fair? Surely there was something wrong with that, maybe it was some type of joke; almost everybody's been to the fair before. But clearly this was no joke, "Yuki what's that thing?" Kakeru said as he pointed off to something in the distance.
"That's a ferries wheel, Kakeru you haven't been to the fair before?" Yuki asked in astonishment. Kakeru shook his head, "No...is it something bad?" he asked looking down at the now wet floor from the soft drizzle.
"No..." Yuki said smiling softly, "you just have so much more to catch up o—" Yuki started to say but got cut off shortly by the soft drizzle changing drastically to a harsh downpour.
"What?" Kakeru asked as he dragged Yuki over to a dry place so the two wouldn't get drenched anymore.
"T-this can't be happening!" Yuki said panicking.
"This what?" Kakeru said looking at Yuki.
"It can't be! No!" Yuki cried.
"Yuki, calm down...it's not the end of the world here..." Kakeru said placing his hands atop of Yuki's shoulders.
"NO! You just don't get it!" Yuki paused as he grabbed Kakeru's arms, "I planned this since somebody suggested it to me! I—" Yuki paused as he rested his head against Kakeru's chest, crying softly, "this was your Valentines present from me to you..."
Kakeru looked down at Yuki as he hugged him, everything finally clicking. The chocolates, the flowers, the cards, teacher's being nice. Today was Valentines Day.
Kakeru sighed as he patted Yuki's head softly, "silly, I don't need anything from you. Valentine chocolates would be consumed and flowers would just wilt away. But you, you last a life time. All I need is you." Kakeru said smiling softly.
Yuki looked up, teary-eyes meeting soft eyes, "y-you don't care?" he hiccupped.
"No, I have you, what more do I absolutely need?" Kakeru said, wiping away Yuki's tears with his thumb. "Now take this, or you'll catch your death..." Kakeru said taking off his jacket and placed it on Yuki's shoulders.
Yuki couldn't believe his ears; that was the most romantic thing Kakeru had ever said. He didn't want any chocolates, nor flowers, nor cards, all he wanted was him. Yuki thought as he pulled Kakeru's jacket over him, nestling his head into Kakeru's chest, wishing to stay like that for eternity.
"Yuki..." Kakeru said a few minutes later.
"Hmmm?" Yuki replied, thinking Kakeru was calling him.
"No, it's snowing..." Kakeru said looking up into the sky.
He was true, it was snowing. Yuki thought, lifting his head away from Kakeru's warm chest to look up at the sky and smiled slightly.
"See and you said this wasn't going all as planned. I like the turn of events for today Yuki..." Kakeru said as he pulled Yuki along back to the train station. "And you thought that the rain was horrible, but it brought along yuki!" Kakeru said happily as he slipped his arms around Yuki's waist again.
"Happy Valentines Day Kakeru," Yuki said holding onto one of Kakeru's hands.
