"Happy Valentine's Day, Sesshoumaru!"
Kagome was smiling at him, wide and bright like she always did.
She was holding out a bag of chocolates.
Sesshoumaru's nose twitched.
Based on how her scent permeated them, and the lumpy shape, they were homemade.
Yet, he didn't reach out to take them.
He pinned her down with his stare, arched his eyebrow in the way his mother often did.
"What kind of chocolate is that?" he asked.
Kagome frowned.
"What do you mean? Normal chocolate. Don't you like it?" Her lip suddenly gained a slight tremble. "Is it because you're a dog? You can't eat chocolate?"
"I'm a youkai, not a dog," he growled. "I can eat chocolate. But I won't take any obligatory ones. So what kind is it?"
Kagome bit her lip. Her cheeks glowed pink.
"It's... it's not an obligatory chocolate."
Sesshoumaru reached forward, taking a hold of the bag.
His golden eyes locked with Kagome's blue ones.
"You like me?"
"Yeah," Kagome said- There might have been a slight tremor to her voice but her shoulders squared and her gaze unwavering. "I do."
"Then I will accept them," Sesshoumaru said, nodding.
He took the bag of chocolates from her. "Thank you."
He turned to walk away, and buried his nose to the bag, inhaling deep the sweet scent of chocolate – and her.
