Keiwa was reminiscing about the events that happened during previous Valentine's Days and White Days. While he had received a lot of chocolates during Valentine's days and was given some during White Days, a lot of those times, they happened without some sort of fanfare.
He'd received chocolates from people who were too shy that they left them on his shoe locker, which was akin to some of the dramas his sister had watched.
He'd also received chocolates from people who took that time as an opportunity to confess to him.
He always politely declined the girls who did confess to him citing wanting to help his sister and he could not really focus on a relationship, they still ended up forcing him to accept the chocolates despite the rejection.
He had given them chocolates on White Day, and he made sure his chocolates weren't misinterpreted. He did this the first time by giving everyone who gave him chocolates, chocolates on White Day. Since then, he's been known to give chocolates to the people who gave him one on Valentine's Day.
Which left no room for misinterpretation.
This time was different.
He was in an honest-to-goodness relationship with someone.
And frankly, he was scrambling for ideas because simply giving his special someone chocolates on White Day lost its actual meaning the moment he started giving everyone who gave him one during Valentine's Day.
"You were too kind for your own good, Keiwa."
Sara had commented when he asked her what to do.
She had never opposed him making a big batch of chocolates on White Day, as she also got to eat those too.
"Think about what she actually likes doing and maybe start from there." Sara had suggested to him.
What she liked doing.
That gave him an idea.
"You could always dress like a prince and ride a white horse and give her the chocolate."
Keiwa couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at what Kyuun suggested. He didn't know why he even bothered to ask the future person about something that was likely a very foreign concept to them, especially considering how Kekera seemed oblivious about the essence of the festivals they held.
"You know I can't do that." Keiwa rolled his eyes.
"Then I don't know how I can help you, Tycoon." Kyuun bluntly stated.
"Just…" Keiwa gave out a sigh before continuing his train of thought. "Aside from streaming, what else does she like to do?"
"What does she like to do?" Kyuun frowned when presented with the question. "Everything she does every day is something that she likes to do, if she streams on that day, she streams."
"No, I meant was, what she does she do when she's not streaming?" Keiwa rephrased his question. "Does she go shopping, treat her hair, get her nails done, and the like."
"Come to think of it…" Kyuun hummed. "Neon's been glued to some cooking videos for some time, and she has expressed wanting to learn how to cook her own meals."
"That! That's it!" Keiwa grinned. "Thanks a lot, Kyuun-san!"
"Okay?" Kyuun tilted his head in confusion. "I still don't know how that information is of help to you trying to figure out how to give her, her chocolates for White Day."
"Just, just thank you." Keiwa grinned.
"Until next time, pikari~"
Neon gleefully waved at her phone in front of her, which Kyuun was manning, saying goodbye to her stream audience.
She dropped her hand as soon as Kyuun gave a thumb pointing at the sky.
"Keiwa!" Neon immediately noticed her friend and fellow former DGP competitor standing beside her cameraman. "This is rare, you rarely visit me on your own!" She exclaimed.
"Well, I came to pick you up for our lessons for today."
"That's right!" Neon's eyes widened as soon as she realized that she had something scheduled for today.
"Go," Kyuun urged. "I'll come by later your condominium unit after your lessons with Tycoon are done."
"Let's go, Keiwa!"
As soon as Keiwa entered Neon's condominium unit, he could already pinpoint the furniture that was clearly picked out by his sister when Sara helped Neon buy things for her new place.
He also knew that his sister had taught Neon a few things about household chores, it wasn't surprising that Neon already knew a few things about household chores despite her rich girl status as she did go to school where children were taught about it.
She was just bad at it.
The one thing Neon really struggled with was cooking.
According to Sara, Neon has a bad habit of putting the stove on maximum heat as she cooks, overcooking, often times burning, the food that she was preparing.
Although, judging from the homemade chocolate Neon gave him last month, she's been hard at work in learning how to cook.
But nevertheless, it never hurts to start with the basics.
"Neon-chan, the first thing we need to keep in mind when we cook is that should keep our hands and our things clean, so we need to wash them all first before using them."
And with that, Keiwa and Neon started the first lesson on cooking.
Their topic was making rice balls.
Neon was rapt with attention as Keiwa taught her how to use each piece of equipment and utensil. She was committing to memory every word that Keiwa was saying.
Eventually, their first lesson ended, with Keiwa giving Neon a few pointers on how she could improve her cooking.
The two of them engaged in idle conversation as they worked together on cleaning the remnants of their cooking lesson from earlier. Keiwa was wiping the counters while Neon worked on washing the dishes.
Keiwa offered to wash the dishes, but Neon wanted to apply what she had learned from Sara and volunteered. He would just check if she missed spots.
As soon as everything was said and done, Keiwa and Neon sat on the couch channel surfing on the TV when Keiwa stood up and gave Neon a box wrapped in yellow and black paper.
"Happy White Day." Keiwa greeted.
"Wait, was the whole lesson just for this?" Neon couldn't help but ask as a radiant smile adorned her face.
"Well, yeah, after what I did during White Day, the original intent of the day was lost to me," Keiwa admitted. "I wanted to make it special for my special someone, special just for you."
"Aww, Keiwa, that was so sweet of you," Neon couldn't help but kiss her boyfriend's cheek. "I hope the lessons don't end here because I feel like I'm learning more from you than by watching someone else cook on the internet."
"It won't, but I may need to check my schedule," Keiwa admitted. "The training at the police academy is brutal, and it was just lucky that we didn't have to be on campus today."
"Eh, that's nothing for Kamen Rider Tycoon, able to adapt to a lot of bizarre situations the DGP put us through," Neon grinned as she elbowed her boyfriend. "Able to fight multiple Jyamato without his Rider suit."
"Don't sell yourself short, Neon-chan, you do very well in fighting them untransformed too."
"Not as incredible as you."
The rest of the day was spent between them enjoying each other's company reminiscing on the things that happened in the past, hoping that their current situation would last forever.
Later in the evening, Kyuun walked in on Neon and Keiwa sleeping together on the sofa, with the TV on. While he knew it'd be rude to wake the sleeping pair, he also didn't know whether Tycoon needed to be somewhere else or not, but he assumed that he did have a different appointment.
Keiwa and Neon shared a goodbye kiss with each other before Keiwa left the unit.
"Today was the best White Day." Neon remarked
Neon closed the door and sat with Kyuun who was about to discuss things about Neon TV.
