The Bidders' Chocolate Preferences
(I really hope Eisuke and the others forgive me for exposing them like this lmao)
Eisuke:
As tough, stoic and narcissistic he might seem on the outside, this dude cannot, I'll highlight it - cannot- tolerate dark chocolate. Even a chocolate as less as 50% dark makes him gag. He likes milk chocolate and the infamous white chocolate and to be very honest, his chocolate preferences are very much similar to a three year old. Eisuke also likes those coffee flavored Hershey's kisses and coffee candies. His favorite Brand of chocolates is Lindt. He LOVES Swiss chocolate. He thinks that his chocolate preferences are lame so he tends to avoid chocolate-related discussions. He just cannot risk the others knowing how much he loves chocolate. It would be too bad for his reputation. MC once innocently offered him a piece of KitKat dark and he somehow kept a straight face & managed to swallow it without gagging (while his oesophagus was contracting painfully). Eisuke's taste buds as as underdeveloped as babies. Noone except MC knows about his chocolate addiction, except for that tiny suspicion that Luke and Soryu have. It so happened once, that Eisuke had returned from a business trip to Switzerland and MC opened his fridge to put together some food for him, and she was stunned to see the HUGE stock of chocolates and even more stunned to see how heavily Eisuke blushed when she asked him about it.
"You're not allowed to tell this to anyone MC"
"I wouldn't dare" she had said, barely stifling a giggle.
Soryu:
He doesn't like chocolates of any type and politely refuses any chocolate offered to him. It would do wonders to his personality if he started eating some though. Soryu highly suspects that Eisuke likes chocolate more than 'just a little'. If only he knew about his chocolate-fetish. He also suspects that MC knows more about it than she lets on to and has contemplated bribing her to get hold of that information. Not that it is of any use to him, but it could constitute some really valuable blackmail material.
Ota:
Ota loves chocolates! Doesn't matter what kind of chocolate it might be, he will eat it. From white and dark chocolate, candies, jellies, pudding chocolates, sugar-boiled candies, wafer chocolates, mints- he'll have it all. He loves chocolates that have a caramel center. He doesn't like extremely dark chocolates(the 90% kind), but he never refuses chocolate that is offered to him. The other Bidders often wonder how he manages his teeth despite eating that much sugar and his answer to that is "Maybe I'm just endowed with naturally strong teeth" Don't ask his dentist though- he's had several cavities.
Mamoru:
The only type of chocolate he ever buys are mint candies. Just like Ota, he stuffs whatever chocolate is given to him into his mouth. This guy is too lazy to even have a chocolate preference or to try new things out. Who the fuck even cares about chocolate? He's got his precious sleep-schedule to adhere to.
Baba:
Baba is pretty old-school when it comes to chocolates. He only eats candies and milk chocolate. Ota often teases him to have more of dark chocolate as it would benefit his advancing age. Baba always shuts him up by giving him a look which simply means "Look, we both go to the same dentist and Eisuke wouldn't mind knowing about your poor oral health." That shuts him up instantaneously. Baba is always up for trying out new candy flavors. He is that type to always have some candy on him, which he doesn't mind sharing with the Bidders, MC or little kids.
Luke:
Luke prefers milk chocolates and upto 70% dark chocolate, beyond which he'll throw up. He doesn't like caramel because it sticks to his teeth and he has a hard time cleaning them. He also does not like overly sweet candies. He is the type to eat chocolates as 'guilty pleasure'. "I read 4 massive medical journals today, so I deserve that big Toblerone bar." He takes very good care of his teeth(his dentist is proud of him). MC always brings a KitKat bar for him, along with herself and that makes Eisuke jealous.
Shuichi:
He likes all sorts of dark chocolates(no wonder he is so prickly). He wouldn't eat any other chocolate. Mints are a daily essential to him. He always carries a few packets of mints on him just in case he eats something smelly. He eats mints like an addict. He fucking stuffs his face with mint as if it were crack. Eisuke once saw him gobble up a large packet of mints as if it were nothing and till this day, he is creeped out by that. The way he inhales mint should be illegal. He probably even eats his mint toothpaste. He'll try to persuade anyone sitting around him to have some mints, especially Mamoru since he's pretty sure his mouth smells as good as a trash-landfill.
Hikaru:
He only eats super dark chocolates(the 90% and above type). He has tried every type of dark chocolate available in the store. There have been times when he has eaten a dark chocolate bar for lunch. He often shares his lunch bar with MC. He always has some dark chocolate handy. He cannot tolerate mint, no matter how much Shuichi trains him. It makes his mouth hypersensitive. He has the habit of brushing his teeth thoroughly after having his chocolate bar.
MC:
MC loves all types of chocolates, but contrary to her otherwise sweet personality, she really loves dark chocolate. Her favorite chocolate is KitKat dark(or any KitKat to be honest). She always carries a bar in her purse. She also carries lozenges and mints just in case. She's the type to sweetly offer the Bidders chocolate if any one of them seems gloomy, and they love her for it. MC has a chocolate flavored body lotion and she more than often subtly smells of Cocoa. The guys adore that scent. There was this one time when Eisuke saw MC and Hikaru sharing a bar of dark chocolate and he felt so jealous that he went on to buy a 90% dark chocolate bar with the intention of eating it and increasing his tolerance, and then proceeded to puke after the first two bites lol. Served him right.
