Disclaimer: Yawn. I'm out of witty things to say. Ah, screw it, you know I no own.

Warning: Yaoi. Shounen-ai. Implied use of ice-cream in very naughty situations. Quite a lot of implied 'loving', hence the rating.

Author's Note: Shouldn't have label this as complete, but I didn't think I would follow this up at all, so rejoice, mortals!

Okay, on further elaboration on chocolate giving in Japan (and Korea), though chocolates are always given to loved ones on V-day (honmei-choco), friends also give chocolates to one another (tomo-choco). On White Day, the male (ahem, seme) or chocolate recipient would return the favour with white chocolate or marshmallow (hence the name of the occasion), but nowadays the gift could easily be just about anything.

Most of my inspiration is drawn from "Cardcaptor Sakura" manga, an all-time favourite of mine, and "Fruits Basket" volume three. Both are lovely manga series, if you know what I mean.

And sorry for the lateness. I know, March 14th passed a while ago. I blame Writer's Block.

Dedications: To Shattered Mirror01! You're always a wonderful reviewer, and your encouragement pushed me onward to this second piece of fluff. That and your Leon/Cloud one-shot.

And to all reviewers for the previous chapter! It seems that 'Love Letters' is an Asian snack, so it's a pity many of you have not tried it. Ah well, may all of you have other sugar sources this White Day!

Quid Pro Quo

Friday, March 13th

Blink.

Blink blink.

"Er, so let me get this straight… you are asking me what a good present would be to get for Sora. As in, Sora, your boyfriend and lover and…"

"Yes yes! The one and the same! Get on with it!"

"…er…"

"Tidus, I really would prefer an intelligent reply which I could actually understand."

"I really dunno. Why did you ask me, Riku? What about the others?"

Shrug. "I figured that I would go around asking everyone anyway, since I probably would not get a great answer out from you. But you ARE about Sora's level, which isn't saying much…"

Roll eyes. "I feel so loved. Seriously, you probably should adopt a more humble attitude when requesting help. Say something like, 'Oh great Tidus! Your servant, Riku, humbly request your aid.'"

Snort.

"How does Sora put up with you?"

"How can anyone resist me, you mean?"

"Keep this up, and Sora just may. Perhaps I would then steal him away…" Wink.

"Oh please, you're not our type. Speaking of which, it would just be easier if you tell me what you are getting Selphie."

"…er, well…"

"Well?"

"…probably a kiss…"

"What?! That's it?"

"Well, her chocolate really sucked, and she confessed that as much."

"I seriously don't think that's a good reason to…"

"Well, after that I'll probably let her have the time of her life. You know, some good lov…"

"I don't want to know! I don't want to know!"

----------------------------------

"Wakka?"

"Ya, my man?"

……

"……on second thoughts, never mind."

"Hey, what's the problem, man?"

----------------------------------

"SQUEEEEEEE!!! Like, ohmigosh! This is so adorable! So, he gave you chocolate right! Right. So of course you must give him a great great gift! Like, not just normal great, we are talking humongously gargantuan great…"

"Selphie…"

"Then he'll jump into your arm! Then you take him to the limousine and play light music while you cruise to the restaurant! Then you'll feed him oysters and serve him champagne, and then he'll say, 'I'm feeling giddy, Riku', then that's when you make your move…"

"Selphie."

"Of course, you'll be a gentleman, Riku! Then whisper your love and let it tangle in the air while you drive home slowly! Then when you reach the door, his arms will reach out around your neck! Then you lift him up and carry him into your bed room, and quickly divest every bit of his clothing then proceed to have hot, heavy…"

"Selphie!"

"Riku! Stop interrupting! I'm helping you here!"

'How did I ever rope myself into this?'

----------------------------------

"A dildo."

"Shut up, Axel."

----------------------------------

"And you are here to ask me what to get my twin, because…?"

"Well, Demyx is off at Zexion's doing God-knows-what, and between Cloud and you, you appear the less homicidal brother."

"Oh really? It appears you forgot my not-too-homicidal threat on how I'll castrate you and shove it down your throat if you dare hurt Sora in any…"

"I'm trying to wipe it out of my mind, thank you very much."

"Anyway, Sora's pretty easily satisfied, since he's almost happy all the time, squealing in goddamn 5 o'clock like the law states that it has to be done or something. He likes maple syrup on his waffles, though I don't know how he can taste anything with him vacuuming it down. Then he'll drag me off to school in his overzealously loud and sugar-high manner…"

"Um, sorry to intrude on your walk down memory lane…"

"It happens almost every day before he moved to your apartment, so it sticks to your head, whether you like it or not."

"So yeah, I'd like you to get to the point."

Sigh. "The. Point. Is. That Sora would be happy with anything you get him. I don't see why you are troubling yourself over this. However, if you get something crappy for my brother, and make him cry for whatever reason, so help me God…"

Gulp. "I… get it."

"Good. Now get up and get out. I'm supposed to get a present from a pyromaniac…"

Shove. SLAM!

----------------------------------

"I really don't see why you didn't come to me first, though I liked your little incident at Roxas'."

"How ever did I guess? You've only been giggling for the past fifteen minutes."

"Heh, well, it was funny. I'm glad Sora's much more imaginative with gifts than you are, by the way. Look at this locket he got me!"

"He what?!"

"Riku, we gave friendship chocolates to each other."

"Er, oh…"

"You really need some help with jealousy. But… at least it shows that you really love our dear little boy, so all is well. Okay, back to your present, you want me to get Naminé to draw a sketch or something?"

"Not really…I want to get him something that's from my own hands…"

"Riku, even if you get something from the shop, it's not 'from your own hands' per se. But he loves you so much that he probably wouldn't care what you gotten him anyway…"

'Weird. Roxas said that too.'

"How would you…"

"Idiot. Do you know why he gave me the locket a day early? He said that after tonight, he may be bedded for a while and may not be able to drop by. Then he took off running before I could release my fangirl scream…"

Blush.

"Oh my! A blush from the great Riku! Where's my camera?!"

"Shut up, Kairi."

Sigh. "So anyway, he's planning a gay old time with you tonight, no pun intended, so do me a favour and tape it all down, will you? Meanwhile, I think I just might have the thing for you…"

Gulp. 'I've been doing that a lot today…'

----------------------------------

"Riku, where've you been? You just said that you're going to the shop for a while and then…"

"Sora…"

"…Riku…what on earth are you wearing…ha…ha…HAHAHAHA!"

"Oh quiet! Do you know how humiliating it was to walk home in this attire?"

"Oh man, I didn't believe it when Kairi said her present would be great… but now…" Wink.

"What? Sora, you and Kairi…"

"Nope, I had no hand in this, but then again…"

Lick along the earlobe. Shiver.

"I wished I did. The red ribbon looks beautiful on you, darling. What say you I open my present?"

Riku smirked.

----------------------------------

Saturday, March 14th, early morning (as in, 1 a.m.)

"Before round two, I intend to ask…"

"There's still a round two?! Riku, I didn't think you have that much stamina…"

"Ahem, I intend to make your promise to Kairi come true. Anyway, what were your plans for tonight?"

"Oh, er, hehe, that's a funny little story…"

Eyebrows rose.

"Well, I imagined that you wouldn't have gotten me anything great, so I thought of just cooking a little dinner and we could have it candlelight, then we'd enjoy ice-cream the way you like it…" Tone turned sultry.

Shiver again. "Wait, ice-cream? I thought we were out?"

"Yup. So I used your credit card and bought 10 cartons each of Häagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry's!"

Silence.

"You what?!"

Snicker. "Happy White Day, Riku."

Sigh. "Happy White Day, Sora."

End notes: Well, er, sorry for the poor ending. Sora does deserve a good white day present, right? Browse through previous chapter... Right.

Tried a new style of writing this time, with mostly speech and minimal actions. However, couldn't survive through the entire article without some indication to gestures and movements. Sorry! I'll try harder next time.

Of course, that is given that people actually want a next time. You all know how to show that, right?

I love reviews like Sora love chocolate ice-cream! Or how Sora love Riku!
