Honmei Choco: Mimi x Taichi
((I finally have a short window to write in, so I figured Iâd whip up a nice Michi story for you to read! I hope everyone has a great Valentineâs Day!)) --------------- âI hope I have the mold just right. The shape is...tricky.â Mimi murmured to herself in the early morning, carefully pouring the gooey mixture of pricey chocolate into her homemade mold. âAt least the crest was pretty easy. I just have to be careful with delivery. The end pieces might crack!â Even though it was three hours into the morning, Mimi was on a roll. She had already bought her obligation chocolates (admittedly she would have made them herself, but had decided to devote her time this year to one particular individualâs true feeling chocolate instead), and was putting the finishing touches on her homemade batch. As much effort as it might have seemed to require, it felt like a fun, and even relaxing experience for Mimi, even moreso than she had imagined. âNow all I can do is wait...and hope he likes it!â Mimi thought to herself with a smile, carefully refrigerating the chocolates to allow them to harden. Valentineâs Day was a day away. Now all she had to do was wait.
-Valentineâs Day- Mimi, with her trademark smile, carried her mountain of chocolates in to the school, drawing attention from any students nearby. One by one she handed each obligation chocolate box out, and her smile never wavered. Finally, she only had her special chocolate left. Once she got to the recipient, she was saddened to see his own stack of chocolates, with a few true feeling boxes scattered in them. Without even speaking a word, she sighed and placed her box with the others, resigned to the fact she was just another face in the crowd. âHey, wait!â a voice rang out, but not loud enough to catch her attention. The day was a blur, aside from her spotting him sifting through boxes, eagerly eating away at the obligation chocolates throughout the day. Mimi, not one to let this ruin her life, decided to enjoy her own chocolates as well, and absent-mindedly went through the day. It wasnât until classes dismissed that she heard him at last.
âMimi! Iâve been trying to catch you all day.â âWell, here I am Taichi. What is it?â
Taichi slowly unveiled her lovingly made chocolates, undisturbed, unopened, and in mint-condition.
âI couldnât believe it at first, but I spent all day trying to reach you. I...uh...I wanted to open it with just you, actually.â
Mimi stifled a gasp, but eagerly nodded to give him the go-ahead to open it.
The look on his face alone was worth every hour Mimi had spent.
âYou...you made chocolate shaped like my head, Agumon, my Crest, and...well Iâm somewhat rusty on my English, but it looks like some lyrics to a song.â
Mimiâs natural smile was glued to her face as Taichi delightfully savored each bite.
âMimi...this is so delicious...Iâm gonna cry...â âCry? Why?â âBecause itâs so good!â
Mimi broke into a laugh, and Taichi joined in, though he still gently held the box with care, making sure nothing happened to the chocolate.
â...guess Iâll have to bring my A-game with White Day.âÂ
Mimi perked up, then smirked.
âWell now Iâm curious just what your A-game means Taichi.â âYouâll see. Iâll do everything I can to make sure you feel the same way then, as I do now.â Taichi moved to hug Mimi, but Mimi took the initiative and kissed him on the cheek. âThatâs what I was going to do!â Taichi said, mostly in surprise, though he did love her willingness to take leaps of faith like this. âThank you Mimi. Today will always mean more to me for your having been a part of it. Oh, and by the way...â Taichi quickly leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, but lingered to whisper. âClear your calendar next month on the 14th. Weâre going to have a blast on White Day.â
