Find out who's getting the other chocolates that Saguru made.


Sonoko yawned as she waited by the train station exit.

God, the things she does for her friends. If there was an award for these things, she would have won all of them, a thousand times over.

She sighed.

Oh well, at least she could rely on Saguru to be on time, she thought as she glanced at her watch. Which, coincidentally, was one of the ones that Saguru got her as a gift. One more minute to go. As she waited, Sonoko thought of what she could ask from Saguru as compensation for this.

"Ah, Sonoko! Good morning!" She heard his voice approach her from behind. She turned to see Saguru walking up the stairs, smiling sheepishly at her.

Sonoko sighed internally, realizing that she forgot about Saguru's sleeping problem. That boy certainly didn't look like he just got up or is having problems with being up this early. Of course, that didn't mean that Sonoko wanted to be dragged into whatever sleepless troubles Saguru has every time.

She squinted up at him as he reached her.

"Good morning to you too," she said begrudgingly, "but I can see that you're having a better morning that I'm having."

Saguru chuckled at her response.

She smiled slightly at that.

Even if she's annoyed at him for making her wake up so early, that didn't mean she doesn't enjoy the time she got to spend with him. Especially now that they both have more obligations to attend to.

However, he still made her get up way too early today, and she'd really like to get this over with as soon as possible, whatever this is.

"So? What is it that you want me to do?" she asked him, prompting him to reach into his bag to pull out... a box?

"Yeah," he said, "sorry about this, but could you put this in Kudo-kun's desk for me?" And handed the box to her.

Sonoko looked at the box.

Then looked up at Saguru.

Then back down at the box again.

It didn't really look like anything special, almost plain looking, in fact. At least it would be, if it wasn't for the nice cobalt blue ribbon tied around it into a nice bow. Other than that, it was just a brown palm-sized rectangular box with cream accent on the edges.

Sonoko looked at Saguru again.

He was now looking at her with a raised eyebrow, now. She slowly let the grin grow on her face, as she moved in closer and leaned towards Saguru, wagging her eyebrow.

"Oh ho? Is this a confession, Sa-chan?" She teased him.

To which he responded immediately with a sharp bark of laughter. He tried to cough to cover up the laugh, which was pointless really. She knew him well enough to know when he's laughing even when it's not showing. He was still chuckling slightly when he finally spoke again.

"No, no, it's nothing like that," he paused to chuckle again. "God, Sonoko, I've never even met him."

That just puzzled her even more.

"What? Then why do you want me to put the chocolates in his desk? I don't think he's even gonna be at school today." She told Saguru.

Because while she didn't know exactly what it was her friend was trying to achieve, she could at least tell him why this plan was already failing before it began.

He gave her that infuriating smile of his.

That one that he always has when he knows something she doesn't. The one that drives her nuts. Like, really, what even is up with that cryptic smile?

"I just had a feeling that he would need this, that's all." He said, still smiling cryptically.

She squinted her eyes at him.

"Please? I just had a hunch that he might need this, that's all. Honest." he pleaded.

She squinted at him.

"Besides, even if he's not here- well it's more like, because he's not here, that meant the chocolate will be going to someone else, right?" Saguru spoke in the tone he usually used when he wanted her to figure things out herself.

Sonoko found herself nodding along with his logic.

"I'm sure that person would be just as comforted to receive some chocolates today too," he said, still being cryptic.

Sonoko felt like she could feel herself reaching a conclusion, reaching the same conclusion as Saguru, but that wasn't going to stop her from frowning at him.

"Please?" His eyes begging, imploring her to help him.

Ugh, she forgot just how potent Saguru's puppy-eyes were.

"Ok, fine!" She snatched the box from his grasp. "I'll do it! But you better give me chocolates on White Day for doing this for you!"

Saguru smiled brightly at her, with a huff of laughter.

"Of course, Sonoko," he said earnestly. "Thank you so much for doing this for me."

She sighed.

Then he smiled again.

"Why wait for White Day though," he brought something out of his bag again, "when you can have some today too?" He said, holding a small squarish box towards her.

She tried not to make her excitement not so obvious, but she's pretty sure she failed. She's never been very good at being subtle and subdued.

Loudness was a part of her.

Taking the box, she waved him off in a casual manner. Or at least, she hoped it looked that way.

"This would have gone much faster if you'd just give me that first, but it's fine, don't worry about it," she said as she started to head to her school, then turning a bit to look back at Saguru, "I'll see you later?"

Saguru smiled.

"Yes, I'll see you later," he said as he slowly started to back towards the stairs going down to the train station again. "Thank you so much for this, Sonoko."

Rolling her eyes, she waved at him without looking back.

God, she hoped no one will be at school yet when she gets there. She really didn't want anyone to see her put the box in Shinichi-kun's desk. Sonoko looked at the box again.

The blue ribbon shined innocently at her.

Shrugging, she put the box into her bag and opened her own box to pop a chocolate in her mouth. Hmm~ yummyyy~ At least she got chocolates for her trouble.

Although...

Sonoko wondered why Saguru decided to make chocolates for someone he's never met...
