"Still no chocolates yet, eh?" teased Rin that afternoon. The poor boy was slouched over a chair, in an even fouler mood than before.

"The girls could at least call or something…" he muttered bitterly to himself. "Call and ask if we could meet somewhere… then they could give me the chocolates… it's not like it's impossible to see me just because it's a Sunday…"

"They're probably just too nervous," suggested Miku.

"Why would they be? I'm not an intimidating person…" Len complained.

"You got that right, Mr. Girly-boy," Rin said with a laugh.

Miku leaned over to pat the boy's back consolingly. "You kindof set yourself up for that one, Lenny-chan…"

"I'm home~!" called Gakupo in a singsong voice as he entered the apartment. Miku and Kaito were the only ones who bothered to reply "Welcome home."

"Being cold again today, my dear?" he said, leaning on the wall next to Luka. "Don't you have any chocolates to give me?" She ignored him.

"Heheh, maybe you should sheck yer room," slurred Meiko from the kitchen.

There was a pause as Gakupo decided whether to believe the drunken woman or not. He eventually decided he might as well check, just in case… not that it's very likely that Luka would leave me Valentine's chocolates, he thought.

"Hmmm, is someone being a little sneaky? I think I should check it out," he said to the still-unresponsive woman, then he tried to look casual walking over to the stairs but it was obvious his steps were eager. Once he thought he was out of seeing range, he started bolting up the steps.

The purple-haired man cleared three stories of stairs with ease and was soon standing in the doorway of his room. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the little square box on the corner of his bed.

She really did give me chocolates! he thought gleefully, hurrying to pick up the box. On it was his name and a little drawing of an eggplant. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Luka standing in the doorway and whirled around to face her, an expression of pure joy on his face.

"Luka, you really did–!" he started, but was interrupted by a round of hysterical giggles. The sight of stoic Luka Megurine falling over with laughter was enough to distract him from the chocolates altogether.

"You… your face… you look like… a schoolgirl…" she managed to gasp between giggles. The sound of her laughter was so contagious, Gakupo soon found himself laughing too.

"Why… are you… laughing?" she asked when she noticed him.

"I don't know… because you are…" he answered.

Luka composed herself and wiped away the little tears that had escaped from laughing so hard. "Sorry, I just wanted to see what your reaction would be," she explained, and giggled again.

"Hmmm, I don't think that's the only reason," he said in his usual flirtatious tone.

She rolled her eyes. "Gee, you recover from rejection pretty fast," she said.

"I don't think I've been rejected yet," he said, putting his hands against the wall around her.

"Well, I just officially rejected you. Happy now?" she said sarcastically.

"It was worth it since I got to see you laugh."

She stared into his eyes defiantly. He smiled.

"I'd like to make a bet," he said. "I bet if I kissed you, you wouldn't be able to resist kissing me back."

Luka rolled her eyes again. "Yeah, right. If you think I'd be that gulli…"

Her words were cut off suddenly by Gakupo's warm lips on hers. As he kissed her gently, she had to clench her jaw to prevent her lips from slipping and giving in to the sweetness of the kiss. Forget pulling away, she was having enough trouble trying not to push back…

He showed no sign of releasing her, though, and she was about to reach her limit. She allowed her lips to shift just the tiniest bit…

"Ha," Gakupo said, suddenly half a meter away, smiling triumphantly. "I win."

Luka felt the blood rise in her cheeks and lifted her hand to slap him. "YOU JER–!"

In one swift motion, he was holding her hand against the wall and kissing her again. This time, Luka let herself kiss him back.

It was one of those moments when one forgets everything in the past and future and focuses entirely on the present. Luka, who would normally kill the man for touching her, found herself being swept away by that touch. She only had time to faintly think, What am I doing? What is this feeling that makes it suddenly impossible to pull away?

It was Gakupo who eventually broke the kiss a few breathless moments later. He surveyed Luka's blushing face with a smug smile. "Told you so."

Recovering, the pink-haired woman glared at him. "What was that for?" she said accusingly.

"Don't act like you didn't like it," Gakupo said gleefully.

"Shut up," Luka grumbled.

"Make me," he said with a smirk. Her clear blue eyes lifted to meet his deep purple ones, and before she could stop herself she had laced her hands behind his neck and leaned forward to kiss him.

Gakupo's arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer. She ran her hands through his long hair, his ponytail tempting her fingers to undo it. As the kiss grew deeper, she found herself relaxing into his arms. A feeling of happiness and… something else… swelled up in her chest, confusing her.

Being with Gakupo felt so right, she wondered why she hadn't noticed it before. But, strangely, she couldn't imagine herself ever pulling away. Red-faced and breathless, she could've stood there kissing him forever if she hadn't suddenly realized…

"Crap!" she said, jumping back. "I have to make dinner!"

Gakupo simply smiled and pulled her closer. He kissed the top of her head as her arguments were muffled by the thick fabric on his shoulder.

"If I don't go down there, they'll come up here to look for me," she murmured, turning her head to speak.

"What does it matter? Let's just stay here," he said in a soft voice.

"Let me go, Gakupo. Please? Seriously, let me go." Luka pushed against his chest, frustrated. His grip was gentle, but strong as iron. She considered kneeing him between the legs, which would certainly make him release her, but would also hurt like hell. She decided against it.

"I'll make you a deal, then. I'll let you go, if…" Gakupo began.

"If what?" Luka asked, curious. He let her pull away enough so she could look into his eyes.

"If you give me a chance," he finished, smiling sincerely. Luka's mouth fell open in surprise. "Haven't I told you, Luka? I love you."

He had told her. But she had never believed him… until today. Deep in her heart, she knew something that she was too embarrassed to admit to herself: she probably loved him too.

Lowering her gaze, she stuttered out her response. "I-in that case… you can co-consider those chocolates to be… Valentine's chocolates…" Luka felt her face turning an even deeper shade of red.

"I never said I didn't," Gakupo said with a laugh. He gave her a quick kiss, then let her go. "Maybe you could make something with eggplants tonight, since it's Valentine's day and you know you love me?"

"You wish," she said with a snort. But as she walked towards the door, she stopped in the middle of the room, frozen.

Peeking through the crack in the door were four pairs of shocked eyes.
