Today is my birthday so my present to you is DOUBLE UPDATE ON ALL SOTRIES! The following two chapters were based off prompts from Ariette5. Thanks for the ideas.

…..

Astral never really got the idea behind human holidays, especially this Valentine's Day. At school, Shark and Gilag were currently escorting him around the campus with large boxes collecting various packages and bags from all the girls that were approaching him. It wasn't even lunchtime and both boxes were full.

"Wow…..I guess we need to start sorting this." Yuma whistled.

"What's the point of this again?" Astral asked.

"It's a day to show affection towards people you care about. Traditionally the girls gives presents to boys and a month later on White Day, the boys give gifts to the girls in return." Rio explained.

"Then I suppose I should make a list." Astral said.

"After the incident with the lunches…let's eliminate was doesn't seem edible." Shark said dumping the boxes spreading the contents. Kotori immediately picked out a few boxes that were giving off an odd smell and tossed them in the trash.

"Truffles, bark, peppermints….you've got enough chocolate for a month." Yuma said.

"But it looks like only half of these are home made." Kotori observed.

"Does that really matter?" Astral asked.

"Kind of…" Rio admitted.

"Can I have some?" Alito asked.

"Did you already get some today?" Gilag asked.

"Not as many as Astral did. Plus I ate them all."

"Seriously? You had your arms full!" Yuma exclaimed.

"They were good!"

Astral just rolled his eyes and kept writing his list of the gift givers. It was already twice the number of girls when he wrote responses to the notes that were left in his locker. And he was supposed to give something back to all of them on White Day? Humans are weird.

…..

After school, Astral managed to divide up the chocolate between all of his friends and even then he still had a bag full to himself. Nibbling on a chocolate bar he searched for Yuma.

"You wanted to seem alone Kotori?"

Astral hung back at hearing Yuma's voice.

"Just come on…." Yuma choking was a good indicator that Kotori was dragging him somewhere. He saw them pass by as Kotori took him to the railing overlooking the coast.

Kotori took a deep breath and held out a package to Yuma, "Here…."

"Huh?"

"It's for you dummy!"

"Oh…." Seems like Yuma was still slow on the intent as he took the box and open it, "Dark chocolate! My favorite!" Then he looked confused, "Is this for Valentine's Day?"

"Yeah….."

"Why didn't you give it to me during school?"

"Because….." Kotori turned bright red, "Nothing…."

Astral had a feeling as to why, Cathy had given Yuma not only chocolate but a full five course meal for lunch that day.

Yuma smiled and took a bite, "Good as ever."

Kotori smiled back, "Don't skip out on White Day this year got it?"

"Yes ma'am!"

"Good….see you tomorrow." Kotori left for home after that.

Astral walked up to his brother when she was gone.

"What's that look on your face for?"

"Nothing…."
