Makoto walked down the road back to his house quietly. Along with his carry-on bag for school he now had a carrier bag full of chocolate. Despite the fact he had tried to avoid any confessions or presents; they had found him anyway and bombarded him with their gifts.

Today was valentine's day; the time of year when couples found a day to do something over the top romantic for each other. Sometimes it was a day people proposed or asked people to move in with them. If it was new couples who were still in honeymoon faze; it was a chance to show that person how happy you were that their love was requited.

For middle school or high school students, it was the time of year they gave chocolates to their crush. As per usual Gou had gotten loads of chocolate from guys but complained on how she was going to put on weight. However afterwards she had gone and shared it with a few of her friends who were single and didn't get any.

Haruka had been offered chocolate by girls who crushed on him; however, he had bluntly rejected them all saying he didn't like chocolate. Mainly this was due to the fact that he knew it would upset Rin and he didn't want to have an argument.

Nagisa had given everyone chocolates but more as a form of friendship. He was so adorable but tended to be a little naïve about some things. However not wanting to hurt his feelings they all took the chocolate and ate it.

Makoto had not only found them bombarded in his locker; but a number of girls had come to him with chocolates asking him to take them. There seemed to be no end of them; shortly after receiving chocolates from one girl whole groups seemed to follow.

Makoto had attempted to reject them awkwardly however they had used puppy dog eyes on him. Makoto was weak to this since he had two siblings who used it all the time on him.

In the end, he had taken the chocolate to which the girls had been appeased. However out of everyone he got the most chocolate which had left him quite frustrated by the end of it.

"I should probably get home fast. The sooner I get rid of these the better" he thought to himself. He still had Sousuke's chocolates in his satchel. They were of course homemade with strawberry cream filling. They were in mini log shapes and made with milk chocolate.

They were a bit bumpy and wavy due to a cooling problem and the way he had layered them. However, they would no doubt taste delicious and that was what mattered. They were wrapped in a light blue paper with a white bow; the colour of his eyes matched with his uniform. He had thought the idea was pretty clever in his opinion.

The last thing he wanted was for his boyfriend to see all the chocolates he had gotten. 3 weeks wasn't a long time to have been together meaning a break up was possible. Not that they fought or anything; in fact, their relationship was quite healthy.

But if Sousuke got upset or felt he might have done something wrong; he might not like him anymore. Despite the fact he hid his feelings with a big smile and very few people realized it; he did in fact sometimes worry that Sousuke may grow tired of him.

He knew anyone would be upset at seeing their other half accept chocolates from someone else. However, he had promised to get a present for Ren and Ran after they had been so good lately.

"Makoto!" a voice called out loudly. He froze in his place upon recognizing that voice. It was the voice of the person he had hoped to avoid. There was no way he could get out of this now; god he was so screwed.

Sousuke was walking along still in his uniform carrying his satchel over his shoulder as always. Unlike himself he wasn't carrying any valentine's chocolates; one of the perks of going to an all-boys school.

Compared to Haruka's more sky blue eyes; Sousuke's were a stunning teal colour. They shone like jewels and the surface of a Caribbean Sea. He had never seen eyes like that on anyone and it was by far one of Makoto's favourite things about him.

Makoto gripped the bag tightly and tried to hide it behind his leg. He had really hoped to avoid a situation like this; but it seems that plan had failed. All he could do was try and make sure he didn't see them though he had a feeling that wouldn't work.

Sousuke approached closer to his lover; thankfully going to an all-boys school he didn't have to worry about valentine's day. However, he did have to hear a bunch of single guys (except for Rin) talk about how they wanted a cute girlfriend.

He had bought Makoto a small Orca whale key-ring for his keys and a stuffed Orca whale for his bedroom. He wasn't too good at cooking and decided to get something more personal for his boyfriend.

He then noticed the white bag Makoto was trying to hide. No doubt full of chocolates from girls at his school; his eyes darkened with jealousy. He knew such things would happen; only Rin and Haruka knew they were dating so anyone outside them was naïve to their relationship. However, that didn't make it any easier.

He loved Makoto; he loved his cherub face, his gentle smile, those gentle green eyes the colour of apples. He was officially the cutest boyfriend ever and he the fact he was his made Sousuke happier.

However, he knew that other people recognized how attractive Makoto was; other people found his personality endearing and cute. So of course, they would want him for themselves. You couldn't control who you fell for or became attracted to; that was how biological chemistry worked.

But that didn't make it any easier; Makoto was his boyfriend. He didn't want anyone else to look at him or give him chocolates; he was supposed to belong to only him. He didn't like it that other people had noticed him and had tried to confess their feelings.

Makoto saw the pained and jealous expression on Sousuke's face; this is why he wanted to avoid him. Because he knew that seeing him with the chocolates would upset him. He probably hated him right now; but at least he could apologize for hurting Sousuke like this.

"I'm sorry…." He trailed off despondently. He really hadn't wanted him to see him with the chocolates because it would make Sousuke upset. That was why he had tried to turn those girls down but they had been far too convincing.

Sousuke was surprised by Makoto's reply; Makoto never showed how down or sad he was. He was usually such a cheerful ball of love and optimism; but now he really looked unhappy.

He then felt bad for showing his jealousy; Makoto was just a kind person and always had been. He tried to make everyone happy but sometimes that backfired and got him into trouble.

Makoto looked away reluctantly "I…I wanted to avoid you because you'd be upset if you saw me with these" he confessed sadly. Today he had never been so relieved that his boyfriend went to an all boys school; because he didn't have to feel jealous about girls hitting on him.

However the same could not be said for him; which is why he felt bad for making Sousuke feel like this. He went to a public school with mixed gender students meaning he would have female admirers despite having a boyfriend.

Sousuke's eyes widened; so, he had known that it would make him upset. Most likely the girls had been so pushy he hadn't been able to say no; thinking such a possibility made him feel bad for getting mad at Makoto.

"Makoto…." Sousuke said guiltily. He hadn't meant to show such an ugly side of himself in front of his boyfriend. He just got jealous of the image of all those girls crowding around him.

Makoto looked up apprehensively "I…I just wanted to give Ren and Ran a present" he confessed nervously. He had no intention of dating those girls but he would happily take the free treats for two well behaved siblings.

Sousuke blinked quietly in shock; did he just hear him right? Makoto took these chocolates with the intention of giving them to his siblings? He collected the chocolates from all the girls who admired or crushed at him at school with the intention of giving them to a 10 and 11-year-old?

A small smirk spread across his face and he stifled a laugh "Unbelievable" he muttered in amusement. He had been worrying for nothing; god he couldn't believe himself. He never had expected himself to get into such a state over anyone; he really had changed since beginning this relationship.

Those girls had no idea that those sweets were never going to be consumed by Makoto. Despite their mental fantasies, they were in fact being eaten by 2 kids after dinner. Any form of confession or desire to date Makoto were instantly crushed once he told them he never ate them. He wondered how they would react if they knew he was dating a guy.

Makoto saw the amused look on his boyfriend's face and looked at him innocently "Sousuke? Did I say something weird?" he asked curiously. He didn't recall doing or saying anything funny; maybe he had made a weird expression or something.

Sousuke approached his beloved quietly and pinched his nose "It's nothing; I just got worried over something stupid" he reassured him affectionately. He would never tell Makoto that he had been scared of losing him; he was supposed to be the one who reassured him.

Makoto rubbed his nose gently frowning a little at Sousuke's gesture but he had settled. He knew Sousuke wasn't mad anymore and things were ok again. He then rummaged in his bag quietly "I have something for you Sousuke". He didn't even know if Sousuke liked chocolate but he had made them anyway.

Sousuke raised his eyebrow curiously. He had half expected Makoto to give him whatever present he got for him at their place. Hell, he had hoped Makoto was his Valentines present. But not all wishes came true; some day though...some day.

Makoto then pulled out the box of homemade chocolates and handed them to Sousuke. "Here; their homemade. I know they might look funny but I promise they taste good" he reassured him.

Sousuke's eyes widened and he took the box quietly gazing at the unique wrapping. Makoto really had made this with care; making sure the wrapping matched his eyes and uniform.

He then pulled Makoto into a hug gently catching the brunette off guard. He hadn't expected such a surprise attack from Sousuke. He only hoped that the impact hadn't hurt his shoulder in any way; he knew it sometimes got sensitive.

"Thank you, Makoto; I'll make sure they last" he said affectionately. He would eat them only once a month; when he felt like spoiling himself or if he had done a good job.I mean it wasn't everyday he got homemade sweets from Makoto; why eat them all at once? They deserved to be cherished after all.

Makoto smiled gently and nuzzled into Sousuke's shoulder "So…what did you get me?" he asked curiously. He doubted they would be chocolates; Sousuke wasn't that great a cook.

Sousuke then remembered his present for Makoto. He then pulled out the keyring and stuffed Orca toy he had bought from an aquarium. They seemed pretty tame presents compared to the homemade goodies he got from Makoto.

Makoto gazed at them in awe and smiled happily. He squeezed the plushy to his chest and blushed shyly "Thank you; they're wonderful" he said gratefully. They spoke perfectly of his personality; showing just how much he meant to Sousuke.

Sousuke smiled fondly and reached up his hand to caress Makoto's cheek. Every day he found himself falling deeper under the green-eyed boys spell. He then leaned forward to capture Makoto's lips quietly to which the latter closed his eyes and returned his gesture.

"I love you; so much" the two thought mentally.
