"Could you give this to Kirkland-sama, Sawada-san?" asked a girl as she handed a prettily decorated box to me. I looked at her inquiringly but nodded.

"Sure. Don't know why you can't give it to him yourself, though."

"I would, but..." She blushed. I raised an eyebrow.

"But?"

"He's just so... so..."

"Ah, Nee-san, there you are."

The girl squeaked and ran off as soon as she noticed Arthur approaching. Arthur stared after her in confusion.

"What...?"

"It wasn't you, don't worry. Well, it was you, but not, like, in a bad way." I handed him the box. "She asked me to give this to you, by the way."

He accepted the box. "Oh, is this what you call, um,"

"Honmei-choco."

"Yes, that. Japan has White Day as well, right? Am I supposed to give her back chocolates on White Day?"

"Yep. Don't worry, white chocolate is ridiculously cheap on the days leading up to White Day, so you won't have to spend all that much on return gifts for the undoubtedly large number of people that'll give you chocolates."

"Please, Nee-san, I've only been here for a week."

"You're also only a handsome foreigner who is also only a complete gentleman. Not a lot of people still open doors just for others, you know."

"I was just brought up that way."

"And that's what get you all the ladies. Or men. I don't judge." I added, much to his blushing.

"Nee-san-"

In that moment the door opened and in entered Tsuna and his two friends. I called to them.

"Ey, catch."

I tossed three boxes of chocolates at them. Yamamoto caught one easily, while Gokudera caught two and handed one to Tsuna, who thanked him. I gave one to Arthur as well.

"Giri-choco. You better eat that, Gokudera." I ordered, while pointing at Gokudera, who clicked his tongue. Tsuna, Yamamoto, and Arthur thanked me and took their seats. Most of the girls in the class stared at me enviously, while most of the boys stared at them enviously. Then the teacher walked in and class started.

Throughout the school day, many girls handed me chocolates to pass onto Arthur, much to my confusion. Finally, I managed to wrangle an answer out of one.

"He's just so perfect and gentlemanly and probably already has a girlfriend and when he smiles I just get so embarrassed and start stuttering and looking stupid and so I can't possibly give it to him in person!"

I stared at her, then sighed in exasperation. "That's understandable. But why not just leave it in his locker or something?"

"Well, I just feel like it would get to him faster if I gave it to you..."

"Right. Well, don't worry. Your chocolate's in safe hands."

"Thank you!"

She skipped off, and I stood up to find Arthur. I found him after not too long, luckily. He was staring at his shoe locker, blinking in astonishment at the nearly filled space.

I was about to approach him and give him the chocolates, but dived behind some other lockers when I saw Yuki approaching him with a heart-shaped box in her hands. Looks like she had finally gathered the courage.

She deflated a little, though, when she saw how full his locker was. But Arthur noticed her before she could run away.

"Ah, you're that girl who also came to greet me at the airport, right?" He smiled at her, causing a faint pink to show on her cheeks.

"Yes, I'm Yamashita Yuki."

I was proud of her for not stuttering. I felt another presence join me behind the row of lockers and glanced sideways. It was Akira. She met my gaze, and we nodded at each other and silently cheered Yuki on.

Arthur finally noticed the box she was holding in her hands.

"I see you have chocolates. Are they for me?" he asked. Yuki nodded.

"Yes, but, um..." She glanced at the multitude of chocolate he already had. "I guess you've already received so much, so..."

He smiled, and told her, "Yes, but you're the only person who's given it to me in person, so it would be an honour to accept these." The Brit took the box of chocolate and placed in a side compartment of his bag. He bowed to her. "Thank you."

Yuki bowed back, full on red now, bowed back. "Y-yes, you're welcome. I'll be going now!" She rushed off, having lost her composure. I took that as my cue to reveal myself.

"She likes you~" I teased, doing my best impression of Happy. Arthur whirled around in surprise. "In fact, a lot of people like you." I dumped the chocolates into his arms.

"B-be quiet! Don't you have someone you want to give chocolates to as well?" he asked, trying to stop my teasing before it really begun. I shrugged.

"Kind of. Akira, why are you still hiding? Come out now."

Akira came out as well. "Whoa, you have someone to give chocolates to? That's a first. Like half the boys in our grade have been looking hopefully at you."

"Psh, they can continue to hope. They're not getting anything though. Anyway," I glanced at my watch, "I have to go ask someone something. Come on, Arthur."

We said our goodbyes to Akira, and walked back to the classroom. When we were a metre away from the door, it was slammed open and my half-naked brother ran out while yelling like a madman. Arthur stopped in his tracks and stared after him. I patted him on the shoulder.

"There are some things in life you're better off not questioning." I continued into the classroom.

Reborn was still sitting on the table behind Tsuna's. He looked up at me as I approached.

"Here for Dino's address?"

"Yes, please."

He handed a piece of paper to me, and I grinned.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Arthur came with me, and as we walked to the hotel, I showed him more of the town.

"That, over there, is the store with the biggest sales during holidays, that's the bookstore with the largest manga selection, and that, is the hotel which is our destination."

I resisted the urge to continue on with the revolving door and entered the lobby, where, luckily for me, Dino's men were relaxing. Romario noticed us.

"Oh, Sawada-san! What brings you here today? And who's your friend?"

I waved and approached him. "This is Kirkland Arthur, an exchange student from England. He'll be staying with us for some time." Arthur bowed. "And I'm here because it's Valentine's Day and I have chocolates for you all!"

I pulled a massive box of chocolates out of my bag, then set it on the floor in front of Dino's men. They made sounds of appreciation when I opened it. I smiled at them.

"Enjoy."

They thanked me and converged in on the sweets. Romario made his way to me, savouring a piece in his mouth.

"This is delicious, Sawada-san. Thank you."

"It's really no problem. Um, could you..."

"Sure." Romario took out his phone and sent a message. A few minutes later, the lift at the other end of the lobby opened and Dino came out.

"It's Tsuna's sister!" he cheered. "Thanks for treating my men. Do I get chocolate as well?"

"Yep!" I responded, pulling another, smaller box out of my bag. I offered them to him. "I made these myself. It's my own recipe."

"Wow, really? You're such a good cook!" I blushed at his compliment. He took the box and opened it. "These look really good."

"You really think so?" He nodded. "I'm really happy."

The blond boss chuckled and patted me on the head, then tossed a chocolate into his mouth. I waited patiently. Finally he got to the core of the sweet, and I could practically see him thinking, Oh, crap.

He had a good reason to think so too. The core of the chocolates were, of course, chili. What did you expect?

Dino's face struggled to not show pain. He managed a grimace. "They taste really good too."

Déjà vu, much?

"I'm glad you think so. I-"

I was cut off by my phone ringing. I answered it.

"Hello? Ah, Kyoko-chan, what is it? I see. Yep, we'll be back soon. Bye."

I bowed to Dino. "Sorry, I have to go now. I've been called back."

"Y-yeah, it's no problem. Thanks for the chocolate!"

"You're welcome! Arthur, we're going now." I called to the Brit, who had been making small talk with some of Dino's men, then explained to Dino, "He's an exchange student my family's hosting."

"I see."

We left the hotel, me waving cheerily to a mouth-burned Dino. I made sure to take the scenic route back home, not wanting me or Arthur to get caught up in canon.

It didn't work. We ran into Hana on the way, and Tsuna in his Dying Will Mode ran past the rooftops of the houses we were beside. Arthur stared.

"Don't question it."

Ugh, this chapter.

Reaper Senpai: Hetalia is awesome.

misminor: I'm banging my head on the table right now. I could have done that instead.

HikariNoTenshi-San: Somewhere in the future, I might write an omake explaining that. But seriously, Gokudera has silver hair, a Chinese midget has freaky gas powers, and a talking baby has a gun that kills and resurrects people with a flame on their forehead. I don't think they're in any position to comment on his eyebrows. Yes, Arthur's going to have pretty much the same personality, as well as I can write it, anyway. The update has been delivered.

Question: Would you rather me continue on with her own adventure route or concentrate more on her involvement in canon?

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed. Tell me if there's anything you particularly want to see, or if you noticed something was off, or if you particularly liked something.

Review?
