“Wow! It looks delicious, Atsushi-senpai!!” exclaimed Yumoto, sparkling eyes staring blithely at the inside of the lunch box Atsushi showed them. The youngest boy of the bunch cocked his head, deeply breathing in the delicious smell.
“Hey, now! You will drop your drool all over the brownies!” Atsushi drifted away the box from Yumoto’s hungry nose. “Aren’t we going to eat this with everyone in the club?”
“I guess it’s for Valentine’s Day, is it, Senpai?” Io asked politely. The pale green haired boy unusually tucked away his smartphone, which screen was always full of complicated graphics regarding his activity of trading stocks. “I heard that heart-shaped pink brownies are being popular these days.”
“Yeah…, my sister told me that too,” Atsushi admitted as he arranged the brownies onto the plate. “I’m not really used to baking. She pretty much helped me with this, so I can say I’m quite confident on its taste.”
“Hm! You’re right!” Taking a bite of a piece, Ryuu agreed. “It tastes as good as the ones I received from my girls!”
“I love how it has both strawberry and chocolate flavors at the same time!” Yumoto pointed out. He gobbled up the brownie piece in one bite, and soon craved for another one. “Even though I’m still wondering if someday I can have An-chan’s riceball-flavored chocolate for Valentine.”
“That’s some absurd chocolate you’re fancying, Yumoto,” commented Ryuu with a sweatdrop.
“But still…,” Io talked after he’s done eating one piece. “It’s really a shame that Yufuin-senpai can’t try your chocolate, Kinugawa-senpai.”
“Now that you mention it, Yufuin-senpai is absent today because of cold, isn’t he?” supported Ryuu. “Though it’s sort of rare for him to suddenly get sick like that.”
Atsushi didn’t deny that.
“For someone who’s neither energetic, nor taking care of himself properly, En-chan had always been pretty healthy. That makes him being in bad condition kind of worrying….”
“So you’re planning to give him a visit after school?” reckoned Io.
Atsushi nodded. “I have to give him today’s lesson notes, too. Though…I doubt he’ll read them at all….”
“Rather than the notes, I bet Yufuin-senpai will be happier if you bring him your chocolate!” convinced Ryuu.
“You’re right,” Io complied. “It tastes this good, after all.”
“What is it? Visiting En-chan-senpai?” Yumoto suddenly butted in. “Count me in!”
Ryuu and Io jolted at Yumoto’s idea.
“No…, Yumoto! You don’t understand…! The point is…,” Ryuu struggled to explain, that he and Io wanted both of their senpai to be alone.
“That reminds me, Yumoto. Don’t you have to help Goura-san cleaning your family’s bath house today?” Io cut in
“Ugh…that’s right…. I completely forgot…!” Yumoto sighed in disappointment.
Atsushi smiled and patted the youngest boy’s head.
“Don’t worry, Yumoto. I’ll give En-chan your regards,” Atsushi turned to Io and Ryuu. “How about you two? Do you want to go visiting En-chan too?”
“Uh…we are…,” Ryuu was glancing around, looking for good excuse to refuse.
Io put up his right hand. “I’m sorry, Kinugawa-senpai. I have to spend my evening to arrange my investment strategy and some other stuffs.”
“M-me too!” followed Ryuu. “I have promised my new girlfriend to try some new cafe after school. So….”
“Well, that can’t be helped, then,” Atsushi smiled understandingly. “I guess I’ll go alone.”
“It’s fine, Senpai. Yufuin-senpai must need a good rest,” Io gave another good point. “The less people go, the better.”

Catching cold was always annoying. Especially when you didn’t usually catch one. Headache, sore throat, stuffy nose…. And worst of them, everything would taste terrible.
En buried his face in his pillow, rolling from side to another side of his bed, trying to find comfortable position to sleep. Exhausted, he finally settled by curling his body under blanket, sleeping without any pillow comforting his dizzy head.
En found himself waking up when the sun was almost setting. That meant he had almost slept for almost three hours. His pajamas drenched in sweat, and he felt terribly thristy. Reaching for a nightstand, he clucked tounge as he found the bottles on it were all empty.
In the end I’ll have to walk to get some water… En rose to sit, sighing lazily. How troublesome….
“Hm?”
En’s eyes rounded for realizing something wet fell from his forehead to his lap.
A towel?
He didn’t remember having that being put on his forehead before he fell asleep.
“Ah, En-chan! You’re already up?”
A familiar voice came from the door’s direction. Someone still wearing school uniform, was bringing in a tray with two steamy bowls on it.
“Atsushi?”
“Yeah…, I was asked by teacher to give you today’s note,” Atsushi put the tray on a round low table near En’s bed. “How are you feeling?”
“Not so good,” Eh shrugged. “And I’m hungry.”
“I know,” Atsushi helplessly chuckled. “Just by looking your miserable figure sleeping on the bed, I knew you hadn’t eaten anything today.”
“Too troublesome to cook and eat,” answered En, which didn’t surprise Atsushi at all. Even when he’s fit, he wouldn’t move too much. Let alone when he’s sick.
“Well, I made you some chicken soup,” Atsushi turned to the tray he had brought in. “Eat up and don’t forget to have your medicine.”
En stared at the dish. Warm rice and simple soup consisting shredded chicken, sliced carrots, green onions, and bok choy. The broth smelled delicious. It was a shame that it wasn’t apparent to En because of his stuffy nose. But since it was Atsushi, En still could bet that it must taste good.
While En was eating, Atsushi remembered that he also brought En some melon.
“I’ll cut it for you,” said Atsushi. “Or do you prefer it to be juiced?”
En sticked up his thumb with his free hand. “I’d have the melon juice.”
So Atsushi walked out and left En alone in his room. En could hear Atsushi‘s busyness in the kitchen as he cut and blended the melon. It sounded to take some time.
While inhaling the soup, En realized that Atsushi left his bag open in En’s room. At first, En didn’t really mind it, until he noticed a suspicious transparent little package containing some pieces of pink and brown.
En left his food to check on the package, and found out that the pink and brown things were actually some chocolate candies.
Right…, today is valentine, isn’t it? En pondered. Then, this must be for me, I guess….
En had enough reasons to believe that. The candies’ package was too plain to be a special gift from a girl. Even if it was just for obligatory chocolate. Besides, that wouldn’t likely to be one, since their school was all-boys.
En heard Atsushi ‘s sandals rubbed against the floor, heading towards his room. The blond quickly returned the chocolate to its place and fixed his position back to holding his chopsticks and rice bowl.
Well, it’s no good to take someone’s belonging from their bag, even if it’s actually a gift for you. I’ll pretend not to know and let Atsushi himself to give that to me.
Atsushi came with a glass on his hand.
“Here, the melon juice you wanted, En-chan,” he said, setting it on the table.
“Thanks.”
Atsushi approached his bag and put it on his shoulder. Good thing that he didn’t realize that En had zipped closed the bag he’d left open after getting En’s notes out.
“You wanna go already?” En held back his surprised tone.
Atsushi nodded. “I have to change my clothes and take bath after all. Don’t worry. I will be back here soon…, if you think you’ll still need me. But I guess your parents will be home tonight, won’t they?”
En didn’t answered. Instead, he quietly asked, “Say, Atsushi…did you get or give something for Valentine today?”
Atsushi blinked. That’s sure not something that En would usually ask.
“No, I didn’t receive anything,” Atsushi replied honestly. “What’s the matter with that?”
En put his still half-filled bowl down, followed by his chopsticks. The next moment, the blond crawled back to his bed.
“Hey, what’s wrong, En-chan? Why didn’t you finish your meal?”
“I’ll soon finish it when I get my appetite back,” En’s voice was heard from under the blanket he’s engulfing himself with.
“And you’re still not taking your medicine either…!”
“I’ll take it after dinner.”
“En-chan…!”
“My parent will be home early,” En said flatly. “You don’t have to accompany me tonight. I’ll be fine by myself.”
Atsushi, of course, with En being like that, didn’t just buy what his best friend told him.
“Are you alright, En-chan? Did the soup taste bad? I can make the new one for you, while it’s still not too late to buy groceries…”
“No, the soup was fine,” En replied quickly. “I just wanted to be alone.”
“You’re acting weird, En-chan! Is it because of some monster again…” Atsushi walked closer and yanked the blanket off En’s head. The eyes behind those glasses widened as they found tears on the corner of En’s cerulean eyes.
“En…cha—“
“Geez, just leave me alone, would you?!” En snatched his blanket from Atsushi, and covered his whole body with it.
Atsushi stared silently at the bulge under the blanket.
“Are you mad about something, En-chan?”
No answer.
“I won’t leave until you tell me what is wrong,” Atsushi stated as he took a seat on the bed’s edge.
Still no answer.
“Did I do something that makes you angry?”
The bulge of the blanket didn’t even move—
“Actually…, about chocolate, I did make some brownies for Valentine’s Day.”
—until Atsushi said that.
“I brought some to school, but Yumoto and the others ended up eating them all….”
The lock on En’s lips got loose.
“But I found a package of chocolate in your bag.”
“Eh, really?”
Atsushi immediately checked inside his bag. He jolted in surprise when he found exactly like En had said.
“This is…?”
“Is it for Kusat—“
“It’s the chocolate candies my sister made herself yesterday!” Atsushi exclaimed. “She made these using the leftover chocolate we got after making the brownies. She told me it’s obligatory chocolate for her friends. So why was it inside my bag?”
En quietly peeked, “Your sister?”
“Was my sister trying to prank me?” Atsushi mused in suspicion. Even though his sister did give him obligatory chocolate every year, she always gave the chocolate directly without warping it.
This year, Kinugawa siblings had made their chocolate together. Naturally, Atsushi himself had eaten some of the chocolate, and regarded it as his yearly obligatory gift. He’d never expected to get another one from his sister.
“Atsushi,“ En came out from his hiding, cracking Atsushi’s musing. “Stay here.”
Atsushi blinked at the sudden change in En’s behavior. “Didn’t you tell me to leave some minutes ago?”
“I was wrong. Sorry,” En’s reply was quick. He’s now sitting on his bed, lowering his head toward Atsushi in apology.
Atsushi rounded his mouth, before trying to guess, “Don’t tell me…, you was restless because of the chocolate candies you found in my bag?”
En pouted a little, and shifted his gaze. “No, i just thought that you were lying to me about not getting any chocolate. That’s all.”
Atsushi smiled to hide his chuckles. “Well, I’d be glad to stay. But you do understand that I need to change clothes and take a bath, right? I’ll be back here after I’m done with―”
“Take your bath here.”
“Eh?”
“What? You have once had bath in my house when we were in middle school, right? Our bathroom doesn’t change that much, to the point you can’t use it anymore.”
Atsushi waved his hand in denial, “No, no, that not the problem. I still need to change clothes and―”
“You can wear mine.”
“But, En-chan…! Your parents will be home soo―”
“Ah. I was lying about that. They won’t be home until tomorrow. Sorry.”
“What?” Atsushi raised his voice a bit. “You’re worried about me lying to you, but you too were lying to me?”
“Like I said, I’m sorry….”
Atsushi sighed, “You’re so helpless En-chan…. If anything, isn’t that you who need to take a bath and change clothes right now? Your pajama’s drenched with sweat.”
“Then we can take bath together,” En rose from his bed and shrugged off his pajamas. The next moment, the blond lifted Atsushi from the bed’s edge onto his shoulder.
“Wait! En-chan! I thought you’re sick?!” Atsushi struggled. Where did he get so much strength to lift me around?
“It’s because you’re too light!” shot En, as if he could read Atsushi’s mind.
“Wait, if we take bath together, you’ll end up passing your cold to me!” Atsushi still tried to convince En.
“Then we will have cold together.”
“En-chaaan!!!”
“You’re the worst, En-chan. If I really end up getting cold because of this―”
“Are you gonna sue me?” En replied as he rubbed his nose against Atsushi’s naked nape. “I can sue you for not providing me some Valentine’s chocolate too, you know.”
The shorter boy who wasn’t wearing his glasses now, sighed, as he was tracing his hands against En’s wet arms enveloping him from behind.
“That’s not my fault. I actually planned to go home, to fetch the leftover brownies I have in my fridge and give them to you. But since you forced me to stay here….“
“Well…,” En moved his chin onto Atsushi right shoulder. “To be honest, it’ll be pointless if my chocolate is just the same as the ones for Yumoto and the others.”
Atsushi chuckled as he felt En’s lips marking a kiss on him. “So… En-chan want to get a serious chocolate from me, huh?”
The kiss changed into a light lick, as En whispered deeply.

This is a good thread, it’s good to think of the things that make you happy. Okay five things that make me happy.
1. The new stability that comes with having a job and better income than before. I’m still getting used to it though.
2 Chatting and plotting with my bestie.
3. Fandom. It’s an amazing thing that tumblr helps connect people in fandoms allowing them to meet people they’d otherwise never meet. The shows that I love bring my joy and engaging in their fandoms do too.
4. The holidays. It’s the holiday season and it’s so fun to see all the decorations out already!
