Valentines Day
"Man, today's going to be depressing." Issei sighed, walking side by side with Josuke and Okuyasu.
"What makes you say that? Nothin's been happening in the past week." Okuyasu asked, tilting his head in question.
"Its because its Valentines day." Josuke answered for him, the punk teen gawking in realization.
"S-shit, is it really?! I totally forgot!" Okuyasu guffawed before biting his lip in frustration. "You're right, Issei. Today's gonna be total shit!"
"Don't make a big deal about it. It's just another da-"
"Shut up! You can say that because you get tons of girls giving you Valentines gifts!" Issei snapped, pointing a finger at Josuke in accusation.
"He's right! I've seen the way girls wave at you, you lucky bastard!" Okuyasu cried out, tears streaming down his cheeks in his envy.
"Hey now, that's not fair! Besides, what about Issei?! You know that Rias and Asia are probably going to do something for him!" Josuke retorted, pointing an accusing finger at Issei this time. Okuyasu blinked in realization before sending a glare the brunette's way, Issei stunned silent for a brief moment.
"Damn it, he's right! You don't get to talk like you're any more innocent, bastard!" Okuyasu snapped, suddenly turning on Issei.
"W-wait! W-we don't know if they're gonna do anything! President and Asia left for school with us like normal as usual! Same with Koneko-chan and Akeno-san!" Issei was quick to point out, causing the punk teen to hesitate once more.
"Oh, yeah. I guess you're right..." Okuyasu mumbled dumbly, holding his chin in thought as they approached their lockers. With a huff, his shoulders slumped over and a depressed cloud hovered above him. "Still, damn it. I'm not gonna get shit this year, huh?"
"Kiba-san! Please accept my valentines chocolate!" The trio looked up to see Kiba some ways down the hall, a horde of girls surrounding the blond knight with boxes of chocolates in their hands.
"Now, calm down, ladies. If you would all hand me your gifts one at a time, I would gladly accept all of them." Kiba chuckled, giving a pristine smile that immediately caused his fangirls to swoon before lining up in front of him in single file.
"That bastard is the luckiest out of all of us, damn it!" Okuyasu whined, grinding his teeth as he held up a tightened fist.
"Just don't dwell on it. It's not a big deal." Josuke sighed, turning to his locker and giving it a small tug. He suddenly felt a surprising amount of weight behind the door, immediately keeping it shut as a bit of sweat started to trail down his brow.
"Go ahead, Josuke. Open it." He heard Issei tell him, his eyes slowly trailing over to see both of his friends watching him with a heavy cloud of irritation. "Don't you have to get put on the right shoes?"
"Uh…" Josuke swallowed a lump in his throat, giving a strained smile and waving his arms. "Y-you know what? I-I'm pretty sure I took my shoes home to clean and left them…"
"You never know until you check, right?" Okuyasu growled, placing a hand on Josuke's shoulder and giving it a death grip. "Why don't you open it and see?"
"I-I am almost a hundred percent positive that I left forgot my school shoes at home. S-so why don't we just go to class?" Josuke suggested, taking a small step back from the two with his arms raised in surrender.
"Oh no you don't!" The three blinked as Motohama and Matsuda suddenly appeared, both teens grabbing Josuke's arms and holding him back.
"Hey! What the hell?!"
"Hurry, Issei! Before he throws us off! Open his locker!" Matsuda exclaimed, putting all his strength into pinning Josuke's arm down. Despite this, the tall teen was already beginning to swing him off.
"Got it!" Issei quickly moved to the locker, messing with the latch on the front, causing Josuke to immediately pale in both embarrassment and fear. "Now to see what you got for Valentines day!"
"Wait, don't-!"
With a quick pull, a pile of chocolate boxes fell out, causing Issei to take a step back in shock. His eye began to twitch in anger, he and Okuyasu looking up at Josuke with barely contained rage. Josuke puckered his lips, looking at them both before looking to the side at Motohama and Matsuda, the combined irritation of the pervert trio and the punk Stand user beginning to intimidate him. Quickly slinging his bag over his shoulder, Josuke began to turn around. "We should get going to class…"
"Don't forget your chocolates, asshole!" Issei snapped as he and Okuyasu suddenly picked up boxes from the pile, tossing them at the now running Josuke in irritation.
"Today sure was depressin'..." Okuyasu mumbled dejectedly, he and Issei slumped over as they headed to the clubroom with Josuke and Kiba.
"They got gifts… all day. As if the morning wasn't enough to rub it in our faces." Issei whined pitifully, earning a small bit of sweat dripping down Josuke's brow.
"Well, I'm sure everything will turn out alright for you guys." Kiba chuckled, earning a look of disdain from both of the moping teens.
"Oh, yeah? What makes you say that, pretty boy?" Issei grumbled bitterly, only for Kiba to chuckle as he moved ahead of them to the clubroom doors.
"Oh, just a feeling." With those words, Kiba pushed the doors open for the four of them, each of his friends widening their eyes in shock. Standing at the center of the room waiting for them was all of the girls of the club, each in an apron that covered the virgin killer sweater. Rias and Akeno seemed unphased by their current attire. Asia couldn't stop blushing and Koneko looked completely uncomfortable, rubbing her legs together as she cast her gaze to the side, unable to look up at the boys, specifically Josuke. Okuyasu and Issei gawked in disbelief, air blowing out of their nose as they marveled at the girls while Josuke had a far more reserved and flustered reaction, taking a step back as he tried to cover his blushing face with his hand.
"Happy Valentine's day~!" The girls said in unison, each one holding up a small box filled with chocolates. Each one looked different than the other, Akeno's looking the best, then Asia's, then Rias and Koneko's looking the most messy, the chunks of chocolate disorderly and broken in some parts.
"I-I thought you guys didn't even think about it…" Issei mumbled, blushing as he walked up to Rias and Asia first.
"Of course we did! We just wanted to surprise you all with some home made chocolates of our own." Rias giggled, holding her box out to Issei.
"We practiced the last couple of days on making our chocolates together. Akeno-san is really good at it. I'm sorry if mine aren't that great…" Asia muttered, holding her box up to him shyly.
"You girls…" Issei mumbled, tears forming in his eyes as he clapped his hands together and bowed his head. "I'm sorry for doubting you! I'm so happy to have you both make those for me!" He exclaimed, his nose dripping with some blood as he looked back up. "And those outfits are amazing~!"
"We spent some time trying to figure out the best way to present our chocolates to you. When I found these online, I couldn't resist~!" Akeno giggled as she walked up to Josuke with Koneko in tow. The tall teen had remained in the doorway, face red as a tomato as he kept his gaze focused on the wall. "Ara, what's wrong Josuke? Do you not want to try our chocolates?" Akeno asked with a pretense of innocence, though immediately tossing that out as she leaned her chest against his defenseless body. Josuke nearly jumped at that, face sweating bullets as he strained to answer.
"I-I wouldn't say that's really the problem…" He coughed out, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"I-I'm sorry if they're not very good, but…" Koneko suddenly spoke up, drawing the tall teen's attention to her. "Would you… please try my chocolate?" she asked, looking up at Josuke with big eyes that immediately disarmed him.
"O-of course." Josuke mumbled, doing his best to focus on the chocolates and ignore the outfits that Akeno and Koneko were both sporting, reaching forward and taking one. Josuke took a bite, widening his eyes a bit in surprise. "It's… it's pretty good." He admitted, giving a small smile to Koneko. "Thank you, Koneko-chan."
"I-it came out good?" Koneko muttered in disbelief. A small pleased smile spread across her face, letting out a small giggle. "I'm happy to hear that…"
"No fair, Josuke-kun~! You haven't tried mine yet." Akeno complained, immediately giving Koneko a light push with her butt so that she was now standing in front of Josuke. The tall teen couldn't stop the humerus chuckle from escaping his mouth, taking one of Akeno's chocolates and taking a bite. He took a moment to chew before swallowing, giving a bit of a judgemental look.
"Hm… I'd say it's almost too sweet…" Akeno gawked in disbelief at that, but Josuke immediately laughed. "Just kidding, it's really good. Thanks, Akeno-chan."
"That was cruel of you, Josuke-kun!" Akeno complained, but gave a devilish smile as she leaned toward him. "But you could always give me a gift of your own in exchange…"
"Uh…" Josuke swallowed a lump, taking a step back as his little joke was suddenly turned back on him.
"Um… whose chocolate was better?" Koneko struggled out, causing Akeno to blink as she looked back at the petite Devil.
"Huh?" Josuke asked, raising a brow in question.
"Ah, yes. Good question, Koneko-chan." Rias smiled, giving Issei an even look. "Now that you've tried our chocolates, who would you say was the best?"
"Huh? Uh…" Issei mumbled, rubbing the back of his head as he looked between the two girls currently fawning over him. Oh crap, this isn't good. As awesome as both of their chocolates were, I can't pick one! He thought in panic, Asia and Rias staring at him expectantly. He shot Josuke a look pleading for help, only to find that Josuke seemed to be in the same situation, sweat now trailing down his cheeks.
"I-it's okay to be honest, Issei. I'm just happy if you enjoyed my chocolate." Asia smiled sweetly, her words cutting through Issei's heart like a knife.
"Asia, using your innocence as a weapon is cheating!" Rias complained before giving Issei a seductive smile. "Come on, Issei. You did enjoy mine, right?" She asked, leaning on his arm with it squeezed between her breasts.
"You say that president, but you're the one who's cheating!" Asia complained, wiggling her body in frustration.
From the side, Okuyasu watched with a depressed cloud hanging over him, tears streaming down his cheeks as he sat on the couch with Kiba. "As awesome as their outfits are, this still sucks for me…" Okuyasu muttered, sniffling as Kiba patted him on the back in comfort. "How do I get a girlfriend, Kiba?! How?!"
"I would say find a girl who finds that punkish style of yours charming. I'm sure there are plenty of ladies who would be lucky to have you." Kiba offered kindly, Okuyasu sitting up and giving Kiba a vulnerable look.
"R-really, Kiba? You really think I could get a girl?!" Okuyasu asked, needing the reassurance of the blond knight.
"Of course. Just be more confident with yourself. Perhaps if you work hard, next year you'll have a girlfriend to spend Valentine's day with, as well." Kiba encouraged, eliciting Okuyasu to begin sobbing.
"Oh, man. You're such a great guy, Kiba! Even if you are a bastard for havin' all those girls!" Okuyasu cried out, earning a small chuckle from Yuuto in response.
"Its okay, Okuyasu-san. We made you some chocolates to have, too." Asia said, giving the punk teen a smile as she approached with a plate. The punk teen immediately perked up and grinned like the idiot he was.
"R-really?! You girls are the best!" He exclaimed, taking the chocolates with great pleasure and tossing them in his mouth. "They're so good~!"
"Actually, Okuyasu. Speaking of which, we found this in front of the building when we arrived for lunch, today." Rias said, causing the punk teen to pause as she held up a box that was poorly wrapped. She handed it to the punk teen who took it gingerly, Okuyasu widening his eyes as he saw his name on the top.
"Someone actually got you some chocolates?! Who's it from?!" Issei asked, leaning over the opposite couch curiously.
"Doesn't have a name on it, but…" Okuyasu muttered before opening the letter on top and reading it:
To Okuyasu,
I'm quite sure that today you look quite pitiful in comparison to your compatriots when it came to receiving chocolates,-Okuyasu flinched when he read that line-But luckily enough for you, I've decided to show you a bit of my own pity. Enjoy the fruits of my labor and know that you should feel indebted… I hope you like them. If you don't, I won't forgive you.
"Did you figure out who it's from?" Josuke asked, raising a brow as he approached with Akeno and Koneko.
"Huh?" Okuyasu muttered as he looked up, his face thoughtful and nostalgic. "N-no, not really…" he muttered in answer, but that was a lie. He couldn't admit to the fact that he knew exactly who sent the chocolates, both because she was the group's potential enemy and because he barely believed it himself. Did she really make these for me..? He opened the box slowly, revealing a bit of a mess of content within. Regardless of how they looked, Okuyasu immediately picked one up and chewed on a piece. "It's kinda bitter, but…" He mumbled before swallowing, giving a small smile as he looked down at the chocolates. "They're really good."
"Hey, who left a mess in the kitchen?" Saito asked, grumbling as he entered the living room of Myrcella's bomb shelter. "There's friggin' chocolate everywhere."
"Don't look at me, I haven't been in the kitchen." Myrcella's queen shrugged laxely, flipping channels on their big screen TV.
"Chocolate? Who the hell was making chocolate? Don't tell me one of you losers was actually making it for some chick. We're about to have an orgy tonight. That kinda stuff is for kids." Malia laughed out, glancing at the two boys in the room.
"Oh, I think I have an idea of who it was." Myrcella giggled as she entered the room, sending a look over at the corner. The rest of her peerage followed her line of sight to see Elmenhilde sitting there, doing her best to remain quiet. The red in her cheeks immediately gave her away, though.
"Wh-what are you all looking at?! Don't make me suck your blood out!" Elmenhilde cried out in embarrassment, glaring at each of the Devil's in the room. The four were quiet for a single moment before bursting out in a chain of laughter, eliciting a low growl from the loli vampire.
"Aw~, did you actually send that dummy some chocolate?! Handmade, too?! That's so preciou-ack!" Saito teased until a flurry of bats sprouted from Elmenhilde and began to attack his face furiously.
"Oh, that's so adorable, Elmy-chan. You just couldn't help yourself, could you?" Myrcella giggled, going up and hugging the vampire from behind and leaning her chin on her head. "Are you sure you don't want to join us tonight? It'll be a lot of fun~. Plus it'll help you relax a bit."
"No! Have your sick fun with your servants, not me." Elmenhilde grumbled, attempting to escape her hold only for Myrcella to playfully giggle and keep her in the hug. As the two continued to humorously began to wrestle, a bat suddenly fluttered in through the door, the five of them stopping as it merged with Elmenhilde.
"What, were you having it spy on him as he ate it?" Myrcella's queen chuckled teasingly, the loli vampire grumbling as she turned away from him.
"So~? Did he like it?" Myrcella asked, dragging Elmenhilde to a couch and sitting them both down.
"W-will you let go of me already?! I-" Elmenhilde suddenly paused, processing the information the bat had provided. She blinked for a moment before her face contorted in embarrassment and anger. "Th-that pig headed buffoon! He called my chocolate bitter?! After the work I put in, he-" She suddenly went silent, as the rest of the information began to process. A small blush started to cover her face again, her rage completely gone. "But… he still liked it…"
"Aww~ how sweet!" Myrcella teased again, her and the rest of her peerage breaking out in laughter. Despite their prattling and taunting remarks, Elmenhilde didn't let it bother her. The world around her became silent as she pictured the dumb punk teen sitting there, eating her chocolate until it was all gone.
