A/N: Holy crap, it's the last chapter…
Chapter 10
"You are an idiot," Hisoka said.
Both Tsuzuki and Hisoka were currently trapped in a janitor's closet, hiding from the freaky robotic cupids Watari had created for sexual purposes, and worst of all, Hisoka was stuck in a school girl's uniform. They were waiting for it to be midnight since that was when the cupids shut down. It had been four hours and forty-five minutes. They had fifteen minutes to go. Tsuzuki had been asleep against one of the walls for the majority of the time, but woke up ten minutes ago, and Hisoka had found a book on the proper assembly of a vacuum cleaner. He was amazed at how much detail went into it.
"Hisoka, I'm really really really sorry!" Tsuzuki whined.
"I know, but I'm just pissed that you couldn't let me grab my clothes before picking me up like that."
"I sorr-"
"Don't you dare say it!"
Tsuzuki shut his mouth and began to twiddle his thumbs. He really wanted to make it up to Hisoka, but couldn't think of anything. It was especially hard since he was still in that uniform and it took all of Tsuzuki's strength to not let his mind wonder to all the possibilities that this situation held. True, they wouldn't happen so soon, but one can still dream. What added to all of this, though, was that the cupids were right outside, and their glowing pinks eyes gave them some light in the dark room since the light bulb was out. The pink light looked wonderful on Hisoka. It bathed the boy in a gorgeous light that complimented everything about him. But Tsuzuki couldn't think these thoughts for too long or Hisoka might catch them.
"What time is it?" Hisoka suddenly asked.
After looking at his watch, Tsuzuki answered, "11:50. Just ten more minutes!"
"I hope so."
"Um, hey, Hisoka?"
"Yes?"
"After this, wanna come to my house for some tea?"
Hisoka looked at him with a bewildered stare. "Can you fix proper tea?"
"Of course I can! I'm a pro!"
"Yeah, a pro at killing people with your cooking."
"Hey, I'd like to try some of your food!"
"I'll admit I'm not great, but I can at least digest my cooking and not call 911."
"I've never had to call the doctor after somebody's eaten my food! And besides, I eat it all the time!"
"This coming from the man who eats fifty pounds of sugar a day."
"That does it!"
Tsuzuki snatched Hisoka's waist and pushed his to the ground as best he could in such a small room. Hisoka immediately began to protest against his actions and kicked him in the shins.
"Ow!" Tsuzuki yelped, but not letting go. In fact, that seemed to only make him hang on tighter. "Now, now! You wouldn't want to rip your skirt, would you?"
"Once it's off, yes!" Hisoka said, realizing the innuendo only after it was out.
"That can be arranged!"
"Tsuzuki, I swear if you even touch it I will kill you with my bare hands!"
"But I'm already dead! And besides, I thought you hated wearing it?"
"I do, but-!"
"Then let me take it off!"
"What the hell is wrong with you!"
"I think I was hit with one of those arrow things."
"No, you weren't! You're just a pervert! Now get off now or I won't lend you anymore money for sweets!"
That got him. Tsuzuki reluctantly got off of him, but not before he brushed his fingers on Hisoka's thigh, making it seem like an accident. It made them both blush, the pink light making it look deeper than it was. Five more minutes of silence went on.
"Tsuzuki?" Hisoka said.
"Yes?" Tsuzuki answered.
"… What time is it?"
"11:56. Only four more minutes!"
"Good."
Another silence.
"You know," Tsuzuki began, "I wish I could have gotten you a Valentine's Day present."
"Really?" Hisoka said, eyes turning toward the man next to him. "Why?"
"Because…" Tsuzuki stopped. He really wanted to tell him his deepest feelings, but it was a lot harder than he thought. "Because… I… care about you…"
"I care about you, too."
Just as friends, though, Tsuzuki thought. He felt his heart sink. The seconds seemed to morph into hours.
"What's wrong?" Hisoka asked, poking Tsuzuki's shoe with his to get his attention.
"Huh? Nothing!" Tsuzuki quickly said.
"Idiot. Why do you try and hide it? I'm empathic, remember?"
"Oh… yeah."
"So what's really on your mind?"
Tsuzuki grinned sheepishly and said, "You're an empath. You figure it out!"
"Quit being stupid! I wanna hear it from you!"
"Oh… Okay. Hisoka, I… I want you to be my… Valentine…"
Another pause as it sank in.
"You… you do?" Tsuzuki nodded. "Wow… thanks."
"What?"
"It's really nice of you, so… thank you." Hisoka's face was growing redder by the second and to Tsuzuki's happiness, he could see a small smile on the boy's face.
"Do you accept?" Tsuzuki asked, moving a bit closer to him.
\Hisoka was speechless. He honestly had no idea what to do, but something in the back of his head told him to say, "Yes." It took him a while to realize that the thought had actually been something that came out of his mouth. And he didn't mind.
Had there been enough room, Tsuzuki would have done a back flip. His cheeks were starting to hurt from the huge grin plastered on his face and he couldn't stop himself from hugging Hisoka tighter than he ever had before.
"Hey!" Hisoka yelled. "Not too tight! I can't breathe!"
Tsuzuki loosened his grip just a bit as he wondered if this meant that they were a couple. But he was okay with this. He would ask that later.
Suddenly his watch beeped and the pink light went away. "It's midnight," Tsuzuki whispered in Hisoka's ear. Hisoka just nodded. This was obviously strange to him.
After leaving the closet, trekking through the many immobile cupids, retrieving Hisoka's clothing and letting him change, Tsuzuki and Hisoka made their way out of the building and down the trail of cherry blossoms.
"Guess what, Hisoka?" Tsuzuki asked.
"What?" Hisoka said.
"Two things. One, you're cute!" –That got him to blush.- "And two, I want chocolate!"
"Didn't you have enough today?"
"Oh, no! I don't eat chocolate or any candy on Valentine's Day. That's for amateurs."
"WHAT! Are you serious!"
"Yep! Now, February fifteenth the day you get all of the Valentine's candy just as good, but half off or more! You should go with me tomorrow, 'Soka-chan!"
"What did you just call me?"
"'Soka-chan!"
"I am seriously starting to rethink being your Valentine."
Tsuzuki just chuckled as he gently laced his fingers with Hisoka's and smiled down at his funny little Valentine.
A/N: Hmmmmm. I don't know. What do you guys think? Anyway, I FINISHED IT BY VALENTINE'S DAY! Party time:pulls lever that makes the spinney chair sink down: Wheee!
Muraki: I see that somebody has had their cough medicine today.
Kalili: You betcha! Oh, everybody! Muraki comes out of my DVD player whenever I leave it in there. Well, except for the second one.
Muraki: Don't mind her, she's normally scared half to death of me. She can't go an five minutes an episode without saying how creepy I am. Which is probably why she only had me in one chapter.
Kalili: Yeah, but you were needed! I wanted to have you try to woo Tsuzuki and fail miserably!
Muraki: You do realize that due to your doctor's current injury and the fact that they have been doing tests on you, I could become your doctor?
Kalili: Hmmmmm. Hey, if anybody is still reading, what do you think of a story about Wakaba snapping?
Muraki: They've all stopped reading, idiot. Nobody likes these things, so why are you writing this?
Kalili:sigh: Yeah. HAVE A HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
