A/N: No, I didn't wait until the actual day of Valentine's day to post this! LOL


Chapter Twenty-Nine: Valentine's Day


She took a bite of the chocolate truffle from the box she had on her lap. She chewed on it slowly, a thoughtful look on her face before she swallowed. She hummed as she mulled over something.

"Ah, needs more sugar on this one. But I'll give her 65 points for effort."

Hitomi gave her an amused glance, his chin resting on one open palm.

"Really?" He asked offhandedly.

"Mm-hmm," she hummed, grabbing the next box from the pile on his side. She untied the bright red bow from the wrapper and let it slide to the ground. The sweet scent wafted in the air and she took one, plopping it in her mouth. The moment she tasted the sweets, her face lit up.

"This one is good! 100 points!" She reached it out to offer him one. "Try this one, it's the best one out of all the ones I've tried!"

He shook his head at her silliness and made a grab of one of the chocolate pieces shaped into bunnies and ate it.

"You know," he drawled, already reaching out for another one while still chewing the one inside his mouth. "Usually, when you give someone chocolates for Valentine's Day, you don't eat them."

She only shrugged her shoulders, plopping another one in her mouth.

"Don't worry, I made enough for both of us."

He only laughed and leaned his head on the top of her head.

"You're ridiculous."

She shifted a bit to place a kiss on his cheek.

"Mm, love you, too."
