The Ultimate Detective and The Ultimate Hope Gaiden: Love is in the Air!

Chapter One: Valentine's Day

Makoto hummed absentmindedly as he walked down the halls of Hope's Peak Academy. It was February 14th, and love was in the air. As he peeked into each classroom he walked by, he saw his female students give their crushes chocolates, as was customary of the Japanese interpretation of the holiday. Makoto smiled at the displays of affection and love, and with nobody trying anything beyond holding hands and sharing intimate stares, the newly married Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy did not have to intervene. Makoto smiled, closing his eyes and blushing as the romantic sights reminded him of his budding romance with Kyoko before the Tragedy.

Speaking of whom, I wonder what she has planned for today…

Makoto shook the thought from his head as he approached their shared office, reaching for the doorknob and twisting it to make it gently swing open. Gently closing the door behind him, he walked up to their shared desk to see Vice-Headmistress Kyoko Naegi, diligently filling out paperwork and setting the completed sheets aside like clockwork.

Man, what would I do without you, Kyoko? This school would fall apart if you hadn't agreed to stand by my side…

As Makoto's thoughts trailed off, he looked to his half of the desk to see a pink, heart-shaped box right in front of his chair. Sitting down at his desk, he noticed a sticky note attached to the top of the box. Recognizing the script and the little hearts doodled on the note as his wife's handwriting, he gently removed it from the container and read the contents to himself.

Makoto,

I'm not much of a baker, so I found a shop that made some very special chocolates that I just know you'll find scrumptious. I love you sweetie! Happy Valentine's Day, and may we have many more together.

Love,

Kyoko Naegi

XOXO

Blushing, Makoto glanced to his wife, whose lips slightly pulled upwards in a smile but otherwise continued writing as though he wasn't there. Shrugging, Makoto removed the top cover, placing it to his right to reveal a tray of around 50 round-shaped chocolates. Makoto's stomach started to growl, as if to say "EAT ONE, ALREADY!" Kyoko let out a breathy chuckle, making Makoto sigh in embarrassment before silently lifting one of the pastries up to his lips and chewing it to mush.

Makoto froze in place, his eyes widening as the familiar taste flooded his taste buds, lighting up his center of pleasure.

CURRY! THESE ARE CURRY CHOCOLATES!

Makoto gushed inwardly as the soupy, creamy taste of curry slid down his throat and into his stomach, filling every nerve it touched with a bubbly warmth that made Makoto moan with pleasure.

Grinning, Kyoko finally turned to her husband, setting her pen down and teasing "I take it you liked my Valentine's Day gift?"

Makoto turned to face Kyoko, his emerald eyes sparkling with joy and amour as he got up and walked over to his wife, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her up to stand.

"Ma…Makoto…" Kyoko gasped, in shock at Makoto's amorous reaction.

"Thank…thank you, Kyoko. You're the most thoughtful woman in the world, and I couldn't imagine a life where I didn't marry you!"

While Kyoko was left blushing, Makoto leaned forwards to capture his wife's lips in a soft kiss, filling her with pleasure for but a moment before he pulled away.

"I'm gonna have a hell of a time trying to one-up this for White Day, though!"

Smiling, Kyoko ruffled his hair as she assured him "I'm sure you'll find something to surprise me. You always do…"

Looks of equal love shining in their eyes and their smiles, Makoto pulled his wife against his frame again, capturing her lips in a hungry kiss. As Makoto and Kyoko moaned, Makoto stumbled backwards, falling into his chair. This did not deter Kyoko however, who merely climbed into his lap, straddling him with her knees as she forced her tongue into his mouth, caressing his own tongue with hers. Makoto leaned backwards and moaned even louder, both spouses lost in their own little world as the chocolates sat on Makoto's desk.

When the loving couple went home that night, they chose to forego dinner, opting to have Kyoko feed Makoto the remaining chocolates. With each pastry, he happily inhaled the chocolate and curry mixture, the sweet practically being pulled from her fingers each time she held it in front of Makoto's open mouth. And when they went to bed that night, the Valentine's Day chocolates now completely digested, Makoto could be found snuggled against his wife, their noses touching as peaceful smiles adorned both of their sleeping faces.

For that night at least, Makoto had the greatest present of all; not a single night terror had come to haunt his dreams and make him cry.
