Contagious Love

"Oh god look at all of the chocolate Seki! They're half the price And all of them look so delicious!"

I heard sayori say as she hauled me deeper to the chocolate store, from what i could see

all of the chocolates are actually half priced, hmmm i might just grab a handful for myself

after i'm done assisting Sayori with her purchases, better yet i'll just snag a handful from her

stash after we're done here. Considering her sweet tooth she'll probably grab a couple bags of chocolate to stock up and she'll probably won't notice a handful missing

"Valentine's day is really amazing isn't it Seki?"

"Yes, yes it is, for chocolate addicts like you" i stuck my tongue out to sayori as i look on her current bag, let me rewrite that, bags as she continued raiding the store for chocolates, i swear if she doesn't stop now, all of the couples who's late to buy chocolates won't even have sweets to buy. But that leads me to her question, i have to wonder why did sayori even

dragged me in here, doesn't she have someone for valentine? I feel like she just dragged me here to carry her "treasure"

"Hey don't be a meanie Seki i didn't just go out right now just for the chocolates! Well I mean I did but it's not the main reason I swear!" Sayori exclaimed as she stopped right in front of me and looked me in the eyes. "She has beautiful blue eyes"

"Then what's your main reason then?" i asked her smirking as she stuttered trying to answer the question,i swear she's just way too predictable, although considering we've been childhood friends for god knows how long now, i feel like i got an affinity on reading her, or maybe she's just way too easy to read, might be a bit of both.

"Well um its ummm" i hear Sayori whisper to herself, god she looks so cute, i wonder how she still doesn't have a boyfriend yet, or maybe it's for the best that she doesn't have a boyfriend, she's way too pure and innocent and anyone that tried anything on her will have to go through me first.

"What was that sayori I couldn't hear you?" i asked as she keeps on stammering, and whispering to herself

"Doyouwanttobemyvalentines!" Sayori exclaimed "Can you speak a little bit slower Sayori?"

"Do you want to be my valentine?" she slowed down her voice keeping at a volume that i can barely hear, but still comprehendible to me. Now it's my turn to look nervous, wha? Me? "Why me?" I can barely hear my voice as i said it. Goddammit man, maybe me and Sayori are not too far alike in certain stuffs.

"Well we've been together for so long and you're my closest friend so i decided why not?" Sayori answered me, smiling like she always did but with a hint of embarrassment.

For the first time in my life, i have been rendered speechless by Sayori, never would i think that our roles would get reversed and i'm the one stammering for an answer, i feel like my brain just rebooted and introduced a new set of thoughts. "Sayori as a romantic interest?"

"You don't have to say yes you know, it's fine if you say no." I heard Sayori mutter quietly, fidgeting in her position as she broke eye contact and preferred to look at her foot. "She's kinda cute, scratch that she's extremely cute!" I squealed inside of my head.

"Well i would love to-" i didn't even get to finish what im saying as Sayori immediately glomped me, jumping straight to my stomach, head first. "Oww, i think you broke something Sayori."

"SorrySekiiwasjusttooexcitedfromyouranswercauseithoughtyou'dsaynoandourfrienshipwillendandyou'llgivemethecoldtreatmentbutyoumademesohappyfromyouranswerandijust-"

"Take a deep breath sayori, deep breaths" i told her as she finally came back to earth from her happy high and flashed me her brightest smile. "Sayori really is just a positivity beacon, my positivity beacon"

"Well, what's your plan for this lovely valentine, commander sayori?" i said to her with a mock salute.

"Well, ummm so you see" Sayori weakly muttered. "Of course i should have expected this, it's Sayori after all" I think to myself as i mentally facepalm as sayori gave me a sheepish smile.

"You don't have a plan don't you?" i ask her, smirking as she continues to stutter. "Eheheh, I don't?"

"Let's drop off this bags of chocolate at your place first, i don't think i'll enjoy carrying bags full of chocolate all day" i stated as she agreed as we went our way to her home

" ".

"."

"So….Have you ever had a valentine before Seki?" Sayori asked innocently, staring at me with her sapphire eyes, to be honest I could get lost on them. Composing myself i answered

"No, this is actually the first time someone asked me out to be their valentine, you?" I shot her question back at her. I'm actually curious too not gonna lie, she must have been asked a lot considering how cute Sayori is.

"Well not really, i don't really have that many male friends, actually thinking about it now, you're my only male friend" Sayori answered honestly,

"Really? Don't you hang out with the literature club? Surely that club must have a male member." I inquired as Sayori took on her "thinking pose" that just magnified her cuteness to over 9000, i just want to engulf her in a big hug right now.

"Well not really, all of the literature club is just composed of females." Sayori stated, Well hmmm that answered a lot of questions i guess, and would you look at that, we're finally at Sayori home. As I entered through the front entrance. I put my shoes on the shoe rack next to the door. As Sayori stretched her arms for a bit, I grabbed the bags she's carrying and dropped them onto her sofa along with mine, totaling in 5 BAGS OF CHOCOLATES?!

"Sayori…Why do you even need 5 bags of chocolate?" I ask calmly, gazing at her face as she wore that cute sheepish grin of hers.

"Ehhhhh, it's on sale?" I facepalmed, just because it's on sale doesn't mean you should buy the whole supply.

"Eh whatever, just don't kill yourself from diabeties" I told her as i shifted through her piles of candies and grabbed a few that i liked

"So when do we meet up?" I asked her, looking expectantly, "Hmmm maybe 6:30PM? So that we can dine and explore without being too late?" Sayori answered

"Sounds good to me, where do we meet up?"

"You can just go here and we can both walk towards the festival." Sayori answered cheerily, looking at her again, all i could think of right now is damn i'm dense, i should have noticed sooner, "She practically checks all of my criteria for a girl"

Well…See you later Sayori" I waved at her, giving her a smile as i walked to her front door, just before i could open it i felt a hand rotating my body till im face to face with Sayori, looking all flustered, before i could even asked what this is about, she quickly leans in till our face was mere centimetres apart. All of a sudden I felt a sensation in my left cheek, standing upright again Sayori pushed me past the door and waved.

"It's for helping me carry all of that stuff, don't forget our date later Seki!" Sayori said looking like a red tomato, hell, looking at my reflection from the metal nearby, I too looked like a red tomato. Composing myself, I waved back and steadily walked past her front gate and near a corner where I slumped down after seeing the coast is clear.

"What the fuck just happened" i asked myself feeling a dopey smile stretch over my face.

(Sayori Pov)

"Did I really just do that?" I asked myself as I looked out from the balcony of my room looking at the corner where Seki disappeared. "Am I being too forward?"

No point in asking that question right now, the deed has already been done and I've kissed Seki on the cheeks! Way to go girl!

"I feel like i'm in one of my dreams" pinching my arms, i let out a yelp as it hurts, alot. I guess this ain't a dream after all huh? Me and Seki are actually couples now, wellwehaven'ttechnicallydatebutwe'reabouttogoononelaterandimsoexcitedicoulddie!

"Calm yourself Sayori, Deep breaths, Deep breaths~" I calmed myself like how Seki told me earlier, I need to focus on the priority right now.

"What to wear?"

Shifting through my admittedly large pile of clothes, I can't help but wonder, what are couples supposed to do on dates aside from exploring and eating? Maybe we can talk about stuff we like? Go to the festival and play games? "Or kiss on the lips!"

No, bad Sayori, calm down! "This is supposed to be our first date! Doing those things aren't supposed to happen on first dates!" I said to myself as my thoughts continued to stray down a path I shan't name. "What would Seki think if he knew what I'm thinking about now." Blushing profusely, I tried not to think anything further.

Composing myself, I walked down the stairs heading straight for my stash of recently acquired chocolates. Maybe the chocolates might calm me, Marvelling the amount of sweets spread out on my sofa. "I swear Seki is missing out on this one, The amount of money i've saved on buying now is so much~"

Grabbing a handful, I walked back to my room again intent on impressing Seki with my charms. "Now what do I pick to wear?"

(Time Skip)

"Okay, ironed out clothes, check, money, check, smell….check, and lastly!" Stepping forward to the mirror, I look at my appearance. "I look decent if i say so myself."

Grabbing my keys, I walked out of my home and started heading towards Sayori place. "I wonder what Sayori would look like?"

"Knowing her, she probably went with something comfortable like a sweatshirt, I can't imagine her wearing something like a dress or a daring dress like a backless one." Blushing as I cleared my thoughts of anything indecent, I continued walking till I reached a turn where Sayori house was visible. "Don't mess it up Seki!"

Strolling through a few more houses, i finally reached my destination, after walking to the gates and entering the password, i arrived at her front door, knocking considerably loud, i heard some shuffling and a faint "Coming" as the door finally opened and here she was, the girl i've been waiting for, Looking gorgeous, Sayori flashed me a huge smile with a hint of blush on her cheeks as she waved at me. Taking a glance at her appearance, all I could think of was: "She's absolutely beautiful."

"Would you care to accompany me, oh handsome gentleman?" Sayori said, giving me a cheeky smile, she wants to play this kind of word game huh?

"Of course, thank you for inviting me, fair maiden." I shot back at her, giving her the same cheeky expression. As an air of comfortable silence enveloped both of us, All i could say was

"You look absolutely beautiful Sayori!" Oh god now I'm feeling timid, I'm not usually this nervous when saying something.

"Thanks ehehe….You look handsome too Seki." Sayori said Looking like a red tomato while fidgeting with her hands. She looks so adorable. I just want to hug this girl! Why is she so goddamn adorable! Such levels of cuteness shouldn't be possible. I swear if she weaponized her cuteness she could conquer the world, my world at least.

"Thanks, so off we go now?" leading the way, we exited her gate and comfortably strolled through the street, forward to the festival stalls!

After walking for 10 minutes we finally reached our destination. As I glanced at Sayori, I could see her blue eyes tinkle with glee. "I guess she's just as excited as I am, this is our first time going to the valentine festival."

Sparing a glance at the stalls that lined the place, I whistled in appreciation, damm I didn't know this place is stacked at valentines. Before I could continue observing the festivals, I could feel Sayori dragging me to the nearest stall, letting myself be dragged like a doll. We finally stopped when we reached a stall where you need to knock out the cups. Sayori pointed her fingers to a large pink bear with flowery hearts covering it.

"I want that." Looking at me expectantly, i gave the person who was incharge with the stall the fee and i got 3 weird looking baseball ball, tossing them around a bit in my hands i could feel its significantly lighter than your average baseball ball, probably a plot of these stalls to lessen the chance of the participant winning. But it's all for naught as I pride myself on being a good thrower in my history with baseball. Tossing the ball for the last time in my hand, I took aim, taking a deep breath, getting in a stance, I throwed the ball with all of my strength. Wearing a smug smile, I glance at the cups and….eh? It's still standing!

"What the hell?" I asked, shocked that the cups was still standing, looming over me, Menacingly.

"Hehe, tough luck boy, maybe next time you might knock the cups over, or would you like to try again?" The stall keeper asked, trying to act innocent.

"My pride has taken a hit, I can't let this injustice be allowed!" Fishing out some pocket money I was prepared to give it another try, handing the money to the smug keeper. I was readying up my toss, I was keen on wiping that smug smirk from that asshole's face. Before I could even take my chances on those cups, Sayori asked "Can I give it a go?" Looking at her I gave her the ball, the fee wasn't too expensive and seeing as I had little success on my previous run, maybe Sayori might have more luck.

Tossing the ball with a surprising amount of force, I looked over and Sayori knocked the cups down? I didn't expect her to pack such strength in her lithe arms. Giving me a sly smirk, she inquired "ehehe, i guess that was easy"

Man i did not know Sayori was even capable of that, guess there's a first for everything

Seeing her still giving me a smug look I can't help but laugh in this situation, It's just so comical to see Sayori petite frame knocking over those damn cups, fetching the pink bear from the hands of the awe-struck stall keeper face, I handed Sayori her prize, still wearing that smug grin she uttered "Im amazing aren't I?"

"You're very amazing" I said softly as she smiled and took my hands, ready to conquer another poor lad stall.

As the night progressed, we jumped from one stall to another, winning quite a lot from Sayori's amazing skills, laughing with each other we settled in a bench in the park, holding hands, her face beaming from ear to ear "That was amazing!"

"Ahaha, I have to admit that was really fun!" for a socially awkward person like me who's first time going to a valentine day with a girlfriend, i could never imagine such event would be so fun with someone, especially if that someone was a person you cherish.

"Ehehe so what do we do now Seki?" Sayori inquired, checking my watch. It seems that we enjoyed ourselves too much, it was already 11pm and the stalls were already closing for the day. "It's time to go home now I guess, it's already quite late."

"Wil-Will you accompany me home Seki?" Sayori asked, blushing, looking like a ripe tomato. I honestly liked this side of her, she's just too cute for her own good, sometimes I feel like I'll die from moe overload.

"Of course Sayori, It's already past 11pm and you never know what might be lurking down the streets." Fetching the bags from the bench I passed it over my right hand and took Sayori's hand, seeing her eep from surprise I couldn't help but chuckle, she embodies cuteness to be honest. Once she learns how to weaponize her cuteness, it'll be the end of the world as we know it.

As we were walking down the streets I could see at the edge of my eyes, Sayori's eyes fluttering, looking very sleepy. I feel like this should be expected, it's our first time being out in such a late hour. As we turned around the corner to her house, I gently shook Sayori, making her tense up, as her eyes wondered, it fell upon her house. Regaining her energy, she quickly led me to the entrance, opening the door and turning on the lights she instructed me to follow her to her bedroom.

Opening the door to her room, i can't help but feel nostalgic, its been quite a while since i entered her room, last time i did was with a sleepover and that was when we were in elementary, "Time sure flies fast huh?"

"You can place the bag at the corner Seki" Sayori exclaimed as she went to her dressing room to change her clothes, after placing the bags at the corner as she instructed, I turn around and saw Sayori looking like a big brown teddy bear with her pyjamas on, doing a little twirl she asked "How do i look?"

Giving her another look I said "You look like a fluffy teddy bear." Chuckling as she gave me her cute pouts, "But seriously you look very cute! I could hug you right now!"

"Mouu it's unfair how you could do that!" Sayori exclaimed, still wearing a pout, "Do what Sayori?"

"How you could make my heart all tingly with your words!" Now it's my time to blush, I can't even come up with a retaliation, I am genuinely speechless, what a time to be alive for Sayori to make me speechless not once, but twice.

Regaining my composure, I said "Cause I truly love you!" Even i am blushing once i said that, but i feel like i have to tell her what i really feel, I truly, truly love her from the bottom of my heart, a person might said "well how could you say something like that, this is just your first date" and it might be true, but me and Sayori were friends a long, long time ago, i've known her deepest secrets, and she's known mine. I want to get across that i am not playing with her or something, i truly love her.

Mumbling to herself while staring at her feet , I couldn't quite catch what she was saying, "Pardon me Sayori, what is it?"

"Can you snuggle with me for the night?" Finally looking at me in the eyes, she gave me what was possibly the cutest puppy eyes expression to mankind, all of the barriers around my heart were instantly shattered at the speed of light, it didn't stand a chance at all, it wasn't even a battle, it was a one shot massacre.

"Sure Sayori" I could barely hear myself say, trying to find myself a distraction from her supreme attack, as she immediately bear-hugged me, i could feel her warmth and love that was pouring. I am one lucky man for someone like Sayori to bless me with her presence and love.

As we fell to the bed, we snuggled to each other, embracing the warmth each of our bodies provided, I could feel her heart thumping and her slow breathing in my face. Her love, truly is a Contagious Love.
