Valentine's Day...

A day where love is the center of attention. Chocolates being passed to another and flowers being arranged in a romantic manner.

For Japan, girls are confessing their love during that day, giving the chocolate that they poured their heart and soul in making it. May it be obligatory, friendship, or love.

That's why, even our favorite batch of middle schoolers wont get away in this day...

"Hey Okano. Please, just take this!" A certain 'playboy' kept insisting on shoving in the chocolate he was holding to Okano Hinata.

"Shut it!" Okano replied irritatedly at him.

This made Okuda Manami stare at them for a while.

"Why is the boy the one handing out the chocolate here?" They heard someone asked.

The whole class sweat drop at the scene as Nagisa replied reluctantly.

It was Valentine's Day and apparently, Maehara Hiroto did something stupid the day before because of Okano's bad mood today.

Even Nagisa has been slain.

Okuda Manami gave a worried expression as she only went back to her seat. Upon doing so she bumped unto Karma who gave her a mischievous smile.

"Okuda-san~ can you make me some deadly chocolates?" He asked as devil horns popped in his head.

She balled her hands to fist as she place it above her chest, she looked down to hide her blush as she agreed to his request.

After their small talk, Karma walked his way to Rio, probably planning on blackmailing someone during that day.

It was Valentine's and she was planning on giving him a normal homemade chocolate rather than a poisonous one. But since he was the one who came to her and asked for the latter, she was sure that he's planning on using the chocolate as a prank material

She opened her bag and saw a small red checkered paper bag, containing the sweets she made the night before that day.

She sighed as a tint of pink was visible on her cheeks.

By the time lunch break came, the case between Maehara and Okano was settled.

Manami just finished on making Karma's custom made chocolates when she decided to head to the classroom to see if Karma was there.

She smiled as she saw him with Rio, teasing the hell out of Kayano.

"Well...well...well..." Karma trailed of as his horns came back matching his mischievous grin.

"I wonder who's that for?" Rio teasingly said tagging along with Karma

Kayano explained her side as she kept saying that her chocolate was obviously an obligatory one. But Karma shoved it off by just merely showing her the picture of Nagisa kissing her.

Kayano blushed as she covered her face with both hands. Manami waited until Rio and Kayano was out of sight. And when they were, she tugged unto Karma's cardigan, holding the heart shaped box on her other free hand.

"H-here. I've laced them with cyanide!" She stuttered now holding the box with both hands. She didn't deny that she was blushing and that she was still nervous.

"That's more like it~ I'm planning on putting this on Terasaka's shoe cubby~ Thanks for your help Okuda-san~"

She expected him to use it to prank someone since the very beginning, she was happy, really happy.

"Glad you liked it." Was the only thing she said as she walked her way back to her seat to get her bag.

Though she still wanted to give him the other chocolate but when she turned around to say something, he already left.

"Maybe, I should really give this to him..."

She sighed as her shoulder slumped down. She continued to walk until she felt Okajima's presence walked past her.

"There's gotta be a chocolate somewhere!"

He hasn't probably received one yet.

When she reached the entrance she saw Karma leaning against the wall below the window.

She was about to call him when she saw Rio beside him.

She abruptly hid the small paper bag behind her. But it didn't escape Nakamura Rio's eyes.

Rio grinned as she stood up and walk to where Manami was standing.

"Ho~ Are those chocolates? Shall I gave the two of you a private hour~" Rio slung her arm around Manami's shoulder. This earned her a tomato faced science lover.

The twin braided girl couldn't muster to say a decent word out of embarrassment. She just abruptly shook her head.

Rio laughed at Manami's reaction. She then bid her goodbye and winked at the bespectacled girl.

When Manami mustered all the courage she can get. She breath in some air as she called for Karma.

"K-karma-kun!"

"Hn?"

Upon the sudden raise of her voice, Karma gave his attention to the petite girl. He saw how her face take in the same color as his hair and the way she fidgeted.

She walked her way to his while gripping tightly on the paper bag from behind.

"H-here. I w-was really planning on g-giving you a normal one. I hope you'll like it. H-happy Valentine's Day. Karma-kun..." His name came out as a whisper as she pushed the small paper bag in front of him.

He controlled the urge to blush as he took the chocolate with a smile.

"Thanks Okuda-san. I'll pay you back when White Day comes."

"I'll wait then!"

She beamed him a smile, still blushing at the current event. They then walked home together under the orange colored sky, if possible, nearly turning to a shade of red.

A color that she started to take a liking since then.
