~*CHOCO MINT*~





####################################################################  



First Day.



Rukawa was browsing through cookbooks in the bookshop.

'Chocolate....chocolate...' Usually, he would not have stepped into a

bookshop, but now, he was standing here, browsing through COOKBOOKS for

heaven's sake! He sighed. 'The things I do for love... ...' But at the

thought of Hanamichi's shining brown eyes looking at him when he

received the mint chocolates made him feel euphoric. And so, the search

went on...



'Aha!' Rukawa finally found the book he thought he wanted.



" Seven easy steps to making mint chocolates for your Valentine"



He bought the book immediately, and went straight back home to read the

book. However, after flipping through the first 3 pages, he found

himself dozing off.



'Oh hell. There are still four more days to Valentin's Day. I'll do it

tommorow."



And Rukawa drifted of to a land where he was kicking Sendoh away and

dragging Hanamichi to do things that are better not said here.



Day Two.



Rukawa bought all the groceries neccessary for making the chocolate. He

set them down and flipped through the book until he reached the

so-called seven easy steps to make the chocolate. He read through the

short instructions carefully.



" First step: Melt chocolate in a pan until liquified



Second step: Do the same with the peppermints. Melt and stir, with a

slow fire on.



Third step: Fill one-third of the heart-shaped trays with chocolate.



Fourth step: Fill a thin layer of peppermint mix.



Fifth step:..."



Rukawa was drooling over the book, his head on the kitchen counter, and

his body leaning against the counter.



Day Three



Rukawa finally got to starting to do the practical. He rolled up his

sleeves and looked at the bowl with rich liquid chocolate. Somehow,

they reminded him of Hanamichi's honey orbs. Trying not to get

distracted, he turned back to stirring the chocolate while looking at

the recipe. He was supposed to mix the chocolate until the mixture was

fine. What the hell did it mean by fine? Crap. Just have to do it until

I think it's enough. And then, he went back to the monotonous stirring.

Suddenly, his cat, Do'aho, leaped onto the kitchen counter upon

smelling something sweet. Rukawa was too busy dozing off, and this

caught him by surprise. There was a loud crash and an empty bowl

spinned on the floor for a while, dark chocolate liquid spilled onto

the blue marble tiles and formed a small pool. Do'aho leaped down and

licked at the chocolate. Rukawa blinked a few times, before kneeling to

the floor to clean the mess with a moist rag. He stroked Do'aho softly,

thinking,



"Hope that the do'aho will like the chocolate just like you *sigh* "



Day Four



The final day. It was night time, and the light of the Rukawa kitchen

was still on. Rukawa pushed the final product of his masterpiece into

the freezer. He was supposed to freeze teh chocolate for 4 hours. But.

Oh well, a few hours more wouldn't hurt, would it?



Day Five: THE BIG DAY



Early in the morning. It was rare that he would wake up this early, but

he hoped that all his efforts would not be wasted. He quickly pulled on

his uniform and ate his breakfast. After that, he got a nicely prepared

box out and set it on the kitchen counter. Then, he pulled open the the

door to the freezer compartment. The cold mist cleared, revealing all

the hard work he had managed to put in the previous night after

basketball practice in order to complete his present. He took the two

brown hearts out an tried one of them. The other, of course, was for

his Hana-chan. He bit into the chocolate. Ouch. He winced and brought

the chocolate away from his mouth. There was a bite mark there, but the

chocolate was as intact as ever. He stared at the chocolate. WHAT!? If

he were going to give Hanamichi a piece of extra hard chocolate, the

ahou would think that he was trying to play a trick on him...now what

would he do?



He paced his way to and across After moments of thinking, he gave up

and just wrapped the chocolate up as planned. Hopefully, and he WOULD

be praying to whoever throughout the day, the chocolate would just

melt. He tied up a small ribbon to confine the box and went his usual

way, cycling to school.



===============================



The bell had rung. Many students were walking away from the school

grounds in pairs, or in groups. Blushing couples, loud, chattering

cliques of friends going out together. Noone bothered to notice a

rather prominent figure wearing another school's uniform, entering into

the school like noone else's business. He had a sweet little package in

his hand.



Hanamichi was yawning away, while walking down the corridor between the

classrooms. Envious of those loving couples who were exchanging gifts

all day in class, Hanamichi gave a sigh. Even Youhei was gone, after

some cute girl came by yammering about how she had always like him. He

reached his locker and slammed it open. This day sucked. Big-time. He

tried to look for Haruko during break-time, but her classmates told him

that she had dashed out of the classroom once the bell had rung. He

wanted to give her something for Valentine's Day. Not as a guy who had

a crush on her but someone who treated her as a best friend.



'Hmph. What kind of best friend are you if you like the same guy as

her!? Maybe I should consider Sendoh...but it won't be fair to him...'

Slamming the locker door shut with much force, he turned towards the

stairs. And to his utmost horror, he came face to face with the scene

he dreaded the most. Haruko and Rukawa were staning together, talking.

Actually, it was more like Haruko stammering and Rukawa staring down at

her. Haruko held something in her hands, shaking in fear.



/ No. / Hanamichi could not believe that his worst nightmare had come

true. he stood rooted to the spot, about 2 metres away.



===============================



Rukawa was trying to look for Hanamichi when the annoying girl with the

squeaky voice stepped in his way. The chocolate could not melt, it

seemed, and he was already prepareed to be humiliated and cursed at by

the fool for trying to pull a fast one over him. He was staring around

the area while Haruko was trying to gather some courage. He spotted

Hanamichi's legs and shoes below a nearby locker door. (Don't ask me

about the thing abt shoes. He's the obsessed one not me, even if i CAN

identify pple by shoes ^^;;;) Delighted that he had found the redhead

at last, he impatiently waited for Haruko to finish her stammering. It

was clear what she wanted to say, and he thought that it was a good

thing to settle this once and for all. What he did not expect was for

Haruko to thrust a small package into his hands, blushing fuiously.



"Rukawa-kun!! Please accept this!"



He fumbled the package for a split second and looked up and saw

Hanamichi staring at the scene with mixed emotions. But the message "

Hurt her and I will kill you" was evident in those beautiful, honey

eyes. Rukawa thought for a moment before approaching Hanamichi quickly,

while Haruko stood dazed and confused at the side. He felt the little

parcel in his pocket jiggle a bit and his resolve hardened. It was now

or never. He opened Haruko's package, took a bit of one of the

chocolate. Haruko's eyes sparked up for a moment, but widened in horror

when Rukawa did something totally unexpected.



===============================



Sendoh stepped up the stairs quickly, hoping to catch Hanamichi in his

classroom. Upon arriving on the floor, he stared in amazement as he saw

Rukawa pull Hanamichi in for a deep kiss.



===============================



Rukawa chewed on the piece of sweet in his mouth, and reached a long

arm to grab Hanamichi and pulled him towards himself, his other arm

circling Hanamichi's waist and pulling him even closer as he pushed his

mouth firmly against the redhead's own. Upon feeling the soft lips, and

sensing that Hanamichi was not going to struggle, Rukawa slid his

tongue along Hanamichi's lips, prodding them to part. The redhead

tasted Rukawa's own taste, as well as the refreshing and sweet taste of

chocolate and mint meshed together. He gave a sigh, and parted his

lips, unable to think rationally. Rukawa pushed his tongue in, and

while tasting Hanamichi's mouth, he pushed the chocolate in, literally

feeding the chocolate to Hanamichi. Instinctively, he moved his tongue

about to taste and swallowed the melting chocolate and mint in his

mouth. Rukawa felt the movements and returned them with fervor,

deepening the kiss. Finally out of breath, Rukawa released Hanamichi's

mouth, but tightened his grip and hugged the redhead tightly. He

reached to Hanamichi's ear and nibbled softly before whispering into

his ear,



"Do'ahou. I love you." He then loosened his grip around Hanamichi's

shoulder and reached for the parcel in his pocket. He placed it in

Hanamichi's hands.



"Here. Happy Valentine's Day." Hanamichi could not beliebe his eyes or

ears. The Kitsune loved him!? And judging from the parcel that was in

his hand, the kitsune had made whatever it was inside himself. He was

so touched, there were tears forming in his chocolate eyes, and he did

not even notice that Haruko had run away crying, and Rukawa was

suddenly bumped off by a huge massive blur. Well, not until he felt a

pair of arms windng around him and hugging him so tightly that it could

be described as a -glomp-. He struggled when a spiky head was on his

shoulder and started nuzzling his neck. Suddenly Sendoh looked up,

serious.



"Hana-chan! You won't give me a chance?"



Hanamichi felt sorry for Sendoh, but his heart had already belonged to

Rukawa long ago. He nodded slowly and hugged Sendoh back. Then, he

heard a slight sound of something cracking. He looked over Sendoh's

shoulder and saw that Rukawa had kicked Sendoh in the back, and it

seemed that the Ryonan captain had acquired some back injuries as well.

Rukawa glared and shoved Sendoh away. He looked at Hanamichi, who was

staring back blankly. Looping an arm over Hanamichi's shoulders, Rukawa

dragged Hanamichi towards one of the nearby classrooms. Hanamichi

blinked and blinked again. Then the reason why Rukawa was dragging him

towards a classroom dawned upon him.



Apparently, Hanamichi was last seen sporting a very red face, and a ver

massive sweatdrop was making its way down his head, while Rukawa had a

very uncharacteristic gleam in his eyes.



~OWARI~
