"Beansprout."

"Yes, Gorilla?" He casually flipped through the pages of his manga.

"How do you play the Pocky game?" Raku froze. An evil glint forming in his eyes as he slowly put down his book to face his clueless blonde gorilla of a girlfriend.

"Pocky game?" He asked innocently.

"Yeah, Misa-chan keeps emailing me about how its so fun. You know about it?"

"Yeah, I know about it."

"Have you played it?"

"In middle school, once."

"Can we play it?" His smirk grew bigger.

"You sure?" She cocked her head confused with an eyebrow raised high. Was asking really necessary?

"Yeees? Why? Is it dangerous or something? Does it hurt?"

"Oh, no. It's harmless and actually pretty fun when you play it with the right person." Oh how he loved taking advantage of his half-American girlfriend's cluelessness about these kind of things. He was more than willing to educate her. She just wanted to learn and he was more than happy to provide answers. And maybe even a demo or two.

"It is a competition right?" Typical Chitoge, always looking for a competition to beat him in. Though this time, he wouldn't mind losing to her.

"Yeah."

"Oh, I'm so gonna win."

"You don't even know how to play!"

"Then teach me, oh wise beansprout sensei"

"You have some?"

"Oh. Right." She dragged her bag towards her, pulling out a green box of Pocky before handing it to him.

"Prepared, are we?" she blushed a bit.

"Shut up, I've been curious about it for a while now." He chuckled, carefully opening the box and the plastic bag that encased the matcha flavoured candy.

"Rules are simple, whoever gets to the middle of the stick wins, let go and you lose. Got it?"

" Yeah but how do you-" Chitoge's face flushed as he placed the end of the pocky stick in his mouth, leaving the other end hanging and open. Ready for her to bite onto. He winked, his teeth keeping the stick straight as his lips formed a devilish smirk.

"…ohhh."

"What's wrong, Chitoge? Afraid to lose?" She glared at her cocky boyfriend. Leaning forward, she bit onto the other end, eager to win.

"Go."

They inched closer and closer, the chocolate covered bridge that connected them slowly decreasing in size. Her cheeks were on fire yet she refused to back down from a challenge. She couldn't lie though, this was exceptionally fun.

Raku, never once dropping the smirk from his lips, stared into her bright blue eyes that resembled the ocean on a sunny day but burned with a fire he knew all too well. A fire that slowly, entrancingly morphed into something more than just competitiveness. Something he was always happy to see and more than happy to reciprocate.

Blue orbs fluttered close as her lips felt the warmth that emanated from his. The taste of green tea and chocolate still lingered on her mouth as it finally met his. She found herself craving not only the sweet taste of her favourite flavour of pocky, but also the very familiar taste of her beansprout.

It seemed that she wasn't the only one that thought so, as his tongue traced her bottom lip, eager to taste not really the chocolate that still resided in her mouth but the equally as sweet and much more addicting taste of his honey. Such a perfect nickname, now that he thought about it.

After a few moments of heated "competition", the two broke apart, not a pretzel stick connecting the two but a small glistening string that showed proof of their little ministrations. They stood still with chests heaving and eyes staring intently at each other with silly, crooked smiles.

"You little sneak." Chitoge poked his chest with a single finger causing the indigo haired teen to shrug.

"What? I was merely educating you on how to play."

"Really now? I guess you're a pretty good teacher because I think I won. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Pretty sure I got to the middle first."

"Up for a rematch then, darling?" She asked with a new piece already in hand and a coy smile etched on her face.

"If you insist, honey."
