The whisk stirred the cocoa mixture swiftly as you gripped the bowl. In the school kitchen, there were more students making chocolate than ever. It WAS Valentine's after all! You smiled as you poured the chocolate mixture into the mold and put it in the freezer. Bless the fact that you had mostly free periods today, you wouldn't have been able to do this otherwise!
White chocolate with popping candy, mini cookies, and jellybears! Rui would surely love it! Your mind wandered, imagining your boyfriend's elated reaction. He always has a sweet tooth, after all. You even had a locket to give to him along with the chocolate! He'd be so happy... Ah, just the thought brought a blush to your face.
Lost in your thoughts, you didn't even notice how an hour passed by. If it wasn't for the timer you had set earlier, you wouldn't have remembered that it was time to take the chocolate out!
You quickly opened the freezer and grabbed Rui's chocolate, setting it on the counter. You took it out of its mold, putting it in a nice heart-shaped box (NIRVANA REFERENCE??). You then reached into your pocket and took out a small locket, putting it next to the chocolate.
With a spring in your step, you put everything back in your bag and slung it over your shoulder. You texted Rui, asking if he could meet up with you at your place. No response yet... Oh well, you figured he'd respond soon. And with that, you left the school district, trotting back to your house.
✩★✩
As you plopped down onto the bed with a thud, your bag still in your hands, you heard a quiet 'ding'! Was that your phone? You ran a hand through your hair and glanced over at your screen. Rui! Wait a second... "Open the door~"? WAS HE ALREADY HERE? Couldn't he have said he was coming? Or at least confirmed that he was free? Ah, no time to waste, he's at the door! You quickly grabbed the box and shoved it into your closet before removing your school uniform and quickly putting on one of your sweatpants and baggy shirts.
You rushed to the door and swung it open, your hair slightly messy and expression startled.
"Were you that excited to greet me," Rui teased, chuckling.
"Shush. Just come in..." You sighed, closing the door as Rui took his shoes off.
"Alright, alright. But you're not denying being excited to see me," Rui giggled as he went up into your room, leaving you stunned and flustered. Rui had been over at your house plenty of times before, so at this point, he knew where everything was, but couldn't this guy wait for you?! With a half-hearted grumble, you followed along.
"Ah, your room is just as messy as always." Rui sat in front of your blocky TV the second he stepped foot into the room, his hands supporting his weight behind his back.
"It's called aesthetically messy, thank you very much," you snickered and sat next to him, resting your head on Rui's shoulder. You fell silent, staring at Rui's face from below. Damn him and his stupid purple hair, why was he so pretty?! Wait, you're staring! And Rui knew damn well you were staring!
"What? What's that smile for," you frowned, feigning Irritation.
"You tell me, you were the one ogling at me. Am I that captivating, my love," Rui stuck his tongue out as you sucked in a breath. You were caught red-handed!
"Just pick what game you wanna play already," you sighed, running a hand through your hair, and gestured to the CD with games on them. Rui nodded and picked up a CD with Mario Kart, inserting it in the DVD box (or whatever it's called idk brah).
Grabbing a joystick and handing the other one to Rui, you both sat criss-crossed. And with that, the game began!
★✩★
After a few rounds, your stomach growled, causing Rui to look over at you, his face contorting from mild surprise to a soft smile.
"Hungry," he asked, as you nodded absentmindedly, setting the joystick down.
"Wanna order ramen? I'm too lazy to actually go to the restaurant today" you offered and stretched, making an effort to sprawl yourself over Rui's legs.
Rui just nodded, pulling out his phone. After the order had been placed, he set his phone away, looking down at the relaxed boy that was slumped across his body. His gaze softened as he analyzed the other's features. Rui has done this so many times to the point where he was sure that there was nothing about you he hasn't spotted yet, but it was never enough. You were just so... Pretty!
However, to Rui's demise, you apparently noticed. And had a shit-eating grin on your face.
"What, am I that captivating," you copied Rui's previous statement smugly. Rui's eyes widened before letting out a small laugh.
"Yeah, what if you are?" he retorted playfully, making you sit up and lean in closer.
"Then you can stare for as long as you wish," you stated, voice barely above a whisper. Both the guys' gazes drifted down to each other's lips. Almost touching... Just when they were mere inches away, the doorbell rang. As if snapped out of a spell, they both immediately drew back, their faces flushed a crimson red.
"I'll go get that," Rui suggested, standing up and quickly leaving to get the takeout. Almost there... almost.
✩★✩
As the two ate their food, chatting about anything and everything; you remembered the box! This was probably a good time to give the gift, right?
"Hey, Rui! Whatcha think of getting dessert?" you inquired, slurping up the noodles in your bowl.
"Hm? I don't mind, do you have any space left in your stomach, though?" he hummed, drinking some of his broth.
"Yeah, how about chocolate?" you offered, silently praying Rui would agree to the idea.
He finished his bowl and let out a sigh of satisfaction before speaking up, "...alright. Didn't you say you didn't feel like going out, though? I could make the convenience store run for you if you'd like."
That's when you stood up, reaching into the closet for the box. Rui tilted his body curiously, trying to peek at what you were holding. Not wasting any time, you handed it to Rui quickly, your hands slightly shaky.
You exhaled a breath you didn't know you were holding in, "Here then- happy Valentine's!" Rui looked stunned, slowly accepting the gift and just... holding it for a little while. "You... You didn't have to," he smiled. He looked like he was going to cry from joy. Mission succeeded!
Before he could let his emotions take over, Rui opened the box to find the locket and chocolate.
"I made the chocolate myself. I thought you'd like it," you added as Rui just started at the box's contents.
"You did..? [Name]... You're the best," Rui said, embracing you tightly as the two of you toppled onto the floor. "ACK-! Rui..." You let out a breathy laugh and hugged back, breathing in your boyfriend's soothing scent. Damn even he himself smelled like sweets. Just how many of them does this guy have a day?
The two just stayed there for a while before you decided to break the silence, "You should probably try the chocolate now, hm? We wouldn't want my hard work to go to waste, right?" You grinned, pushing Rui back into a sitting position. Rui just nodded and grabbed the chocolate bar, taking a small bite.
"Oh! It has popping candy," Rui exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear. After swallowing the bite, he snapped off another piece of chocolate and brought it up to your lips.
"You should try it too. After all, you spent so much time making this. You should know how it tastes, too." Your eyes glanced at Rui's hand hovering next to your lips, eyes hooded; a faint pink tinting your cheek. Parting your lips slightly, holding Rui's hand with both your own, you took a bite from the piece of chocolate. Rui's breath hitched as you both just stared at each other. Ignoring the weird tension, you chewed your food and swallowed it. The sweet, now crushed by your teeth, treat slid down your throat... and after that, there was just pure silence in the room as the flustered couple looked at one another.
"Well.. Open the locket," you cleared your throat, the sweet aftertaste lingering on your tongue... making you wonder if Rui tasted the same thing right now. No, wait! Not the right time now! He still had a locket to open! You snapped out of your train of thought and shoved the locket into Rui's hands, making Rui snap out of his own little trance and peering the locket open with a compliant nod.
It was a picture of them both in their matching Halloween costumes from a few months ago. Rui stared at the picture and, without missing a beat, immediately put it on.
"Thank you. Seriously, I love this," he said, kissing his boyfriend's forehead. You leaned into his touch, satisfied. "Don't you think I deserve a kiss somewhere else for such an awesome gift?" you implied, pointing to your lips. Rui smiled before leaning in slightly. "Maybe you do," he said before he closed the space between them.
Both of the guys let out quiet, muffled sounds as they just held the kiss for a while, holding each other. Rui pulled away, his breath short and a contented look on his face... Then tackled you onto the ground, hugging you tightly. What a childish thing to do! (Not that you were complaining.)
"Let's just... Stay like this for a little while."
