Running in circle around Yusaku while meowing, Puffy Master tried to attract his attention but failed miserably. Even when his claws were gripping on the teen's pants, he still didn't stop what he was doing. Suddenly, someone picked him up from behind.
Opening his mouth, he bit hard on their finger causing it to bleed. At the same time, that person let out a groan. Only when he heard that did the emerald eyes teen stopped and turned his head.
"What did you do, Ai?"
"What--I'm the victim here!" He sucked his injured finger while tears formed at the end of his eyes. In his left arm, PM was struggling to escape.
"You shouldn't have touched him. He hate strangers." He took the little one and petted him.
"Are you sure it isn't just me he hate?"
"So you aren't dumb after all."
"Meow!"
"So mean! Don't forget, if it wasn't for me, you would still be taking your revenge blindly on The Knights Of Hanoi!"
"Go play in the living room. I'll give you a treat later."
"Meow~"
"Don't ignored me!"
"Hm? Did you say something?" Yusaku turned back, gazing at him.
"I--Argh! You know what? Just forget it!"
"Alright?"
"Now, back to the matter at hand. What is this supposed to be?" He pointed at the counter.
"I'm making chocolate for tomorrow of couse."
"I know that. What I mean is... Why are you putting salt in the chocolate!?"
"How else am I going to make it salty?"
"...I gonna pretend I did just not hear that. There is no way--Oh, I know! You're not the real Yusaku, are you!? With his skills, Ryoken must have created you, an Ai which looks just like him. He--"
"Ai, shut up!"
"As you wish!"
"Be useful and hand me those molds."
"Or I can introduce you to my new 3D printer. It works on all type of materials. I can even program it to make a 3D chocolate statue of Ryoken--" Yusaku gave him a dark glance. "Three molds coming right up!"
Meanwhile, Spectre's house...
"Ryoken."
"I know what you're going to say, Spectre. It doesn't count if I don't make them by myself."
"Actually, you can ask for help." Kyoko walked in. "It's the thought that count. I'm sure as long as he gets chocolate from you, Yusaku will be happy."
"But I won't be happy." He continued to stir the bowl of chocolates so they melted evenly.
"I understand. Let's go, Spectre. We'll only bother him if we stay."
And they left.
Many hours later...
Entering the living room with five beautiful decorated boxes, Ryoken handed them out to everyone then stood back, watching their reactions as they unboxed and tasted the homemade chocolates inside.
They were the perfect combination of sweet and biter. Not to mention, Ryoken somehow managed to put white melted chocolate in the middle, so the moment they took a bite, it came out just like what one expected melted cheese to be like. They were truly a piece of art.
The next day, both Yusaku and Ryoken presented their chocolate to each other. While the young man took the pleasure of trying his lover's chocolate first, outside the window, Ai along with the Knights of Hanoi were peaking in. Since they all came here for the same reason, they choose to temporary not to try and kill one another.
The Ignis got the liberty of trying Yusaku's chocolate yesterday or was rather forced to try it, so he was interested in seeing how Ryoken reacted to the killer chocolate which almost sent him to heaven but somehow the young man still managed to say it was delicious with a bright smile on his face.
"...He's a monster."
Then, it was Yusaku's turn. Right off the bat, the Knights of Hanoi noticed it wasn't the same kind Ryoken gave them. They didn't find it surprising for the teen was his special person after all. However, shockingly, Yusaku threw the whole box in the trash.
"..."
Upon seeing that, Spectre got extremely mad. He would have broke the window if the others haven't restraint him. Meanwhile, the smile still remained on Ryoken's face. They thought he was so shock that he froze. But it was the opposite.
Grabbing the big bowl of melted chocolate on the table, he poured it all over the teen. While Yusaku was confused, he swiped some chocolate off his cheek and licked it.
"It's sweet."
"Ryoken, what are you--"
"It's time I show you your true Valentine's present." He smirked.
