"Katagiri, wait a moment," said Ryuuken with a pause in fastening his watch. Katagiri stopped midway to the door.
After a moment of hesitation, she told him, "I have to set the breakfast table this morning, Young Master."
"It won't be long." He went to his desk and rummaged through the first drawer. She watched in anticipation as he removed an azure colored box carefully tied together with a silver ribbon.
He came to her side and held it out to her. "This is for you."
"Thank you, Ryuuken-sama," Kanae whispered softly as she took the gift. She looked at him unsurely—should she wait until later to open it?
Ryuuken didn't move but she could see the corner of his lips twitch. "Please open it."
Smiling a bit, she undid the ribbon and stowed it in her apron pocket. Then she lifted the lid with a bated breath. Two coins of white chocolate sealed plastic sat on the left and a pair of small diamond daisy stud earrings was on the right.
Her eyes were filled with awe and she stammered, "T-this is too much, Ryuuken-sama."
"Is it not to your liking?" He asked her quietly. Shifting her gaze from the present in her hand, Kanae held back the reflex to shrink back once she was aware of how close Ryuuken suddenly was. She could feel her cheeks warming.
"Of course not! I like them very much!" She held them carefully against her chest with a brighter smile. "Thank you."
"Hm, Happy White Day."
-.-
AN: Okay, so Ryuuken is not a complete idiot (hopefully). Sorry that I skipped out on Valentine's Day, it just wouldn't fit so I squished in White Day instead. Things are going full throttle after this chapter, so let's buckle up!
