Summary: Takaki Yuya asked Arioka Daiki to help him reject Valentine Chocolates in an unexpected way. lame, I know
A/N: Italicized parts are things that goes on the speaker's mind.
The bell indicating class is over rang. Takaki stood up from his seat and started his way towards the classroom door. A smile is formed on his lips remembering that his childhood friend during lunch break will go home with him as a lover.
Being the popular guy he is, girls from his and neighboring classes started flocking around him as he stepped out the door.
“Takaki-kun, you wouldn’t mind if I give you chocolate this year again, nee?” One girl asked and the rest follows, asking the same question.
Takaki smiled and the girls flailed but much to their disappointment… “About that, sorry but my lover wouldn’t like that”. He answered and the girls threw him a puzzled look.
“Eh? Dare?” one of the girls initiated the question which the other seconded.
“Takaki, this is just another joke of yours, right?” one girl classmate of him said.
“Sou deshou nee… Takaki-kun is really funny!” and the girls laugh because of their thought joke.
“Isn’t that kind of mean?” he answered and the girls stopped and stared at him.
“Jya nee… I still have to pick him up.” he said and started his way to the first year rooms. The girls followed him with different expressions in their faces.
------------------------------------
“Yappari! This is just another joke from Takaki, look it’s Ari-chan’s classroom.” One girl said as they reached their destination.
“Didn’t I say that I’m going to pick HIM up? Daichan is my lover!” He bluntly said and the latter approaching them blushed but managed to hide it by looking down.
“Daichan, go and tell them how in love we are with each other.” Takaki said as he placed his arms around the younger’s shoulder. The penguin flinched a little with the sudden contact. He didn’t say a word even if Takaki ordered him. He knows that they’ll be pretending but he didn’t expect it to be publicized like this.
“Takaki, we know that Ari-chan is your childhood friend but that doesn’t give you the right to include him in your jokes like this. Ari-chan is still my kawaii kouhai.” A classmate of him said like she’s confident that the act is not true. Which really isn’t.
Takaki tighten his hold on Daiki’s shoulder while giving him the say-something looks. Daiki, still processing in his mind what’s happening, remained silent. Having no choice, Takaki lifted Daiki’s face and placed a peck on his lips. The girls gasped in surprised and Daiki, blushed very hard that there’s no more way to hide it.
“Hora mitte, Daichan is blushing. Gomen ne, looks like my Daichan doesn’t want any more publications. Jya, mata ashita!” He bid his goodbye and left with Daiki, still in his arms.
------------------------------------
Daiki has now calmed down. Sensing they’re now far enough from the school gates for the girls to see them, he dragged Takaki in the nearest convenient store and get five pocky boxes from the display.
“Chotto! The deal is only one box, why are you getting this much?” Takaki asked noticing the number of boxes Daiki get.
“And the deal includes, NO KISSING!” He answered, emphasizing the ‘No Kissing’ part. Takaki didn’t know that Daiki’s heart almost stopped that moment he kissed him.
“But it’s your fault for not saying anything! If I didn’t do that, they wouldn’t believe us.” Takaki reasoned out. And Daiki doesn’t know how to answer back.
“And it’s not like you completely hate it. If only you could see how hard you were blushing!” ‘And how cute you are’. He added in a teasing manner.
Daiki was stunned for a moment after hearing what Takaki said. ‘Did he realize it?’ he wonders but still, try to keep his cool.
“T-that’s because… because… you did it in front of too many people! Mou ii, just pay for this or I won’t act with you anymore!” he threatened which seems to work since the older took his wallet out and paid the merchandise.
------------------------------------
“Where are you going?” Daiki asked Takaki when he noticed that the guy is still beside him when they should have parted and went the opposite way after the intersection.
“Umm… ano… because, some of my classmates live around this area and they would notice if you come home alone! So I should walk you home, too.” He answered, nervous if Daiki would be suspicious. He was able to loosen his breath when Daiki didn’t ask further questions and let him do what he wants.
Meanwhile, whether Daiki believes his lame excuse or he wants to stay longer with Takaki is up to you to decide.
The walk towards Daiki’s house is a silent one. The usual noisy, fun, tease-full moments whenever Takaki would go over the Arioka’s with Daiki is replaced with an awkward atmosphere. Not being able to keep with it anymore, Takaki attempted to break the silence.
“Umm… ano-“
“Jaa, mata ashita!” Daiki said.
“Eh? Ah! Mata ashita!” Takaki realized that they have reached the Arioka residence.
Daiki started his way towards the door but was stopped when suddenly called by Takaki.
“M-matte!” And Daiki turned around with a questioning look.
“Nani?”
“Ah, betsuni. Jaa, oyasumi!” He answered with his usual grin and immediately turned around and walks home.
“Tadaima.” He said as he entered their house and went directly to his room, not even minding his mother’s ‘okaeri’. He plopped down in his bed and covered his eyes with one of his arms.
‘Bakaki, what are you doing? Kissing him like that and stopping him from going home?’ He seated up in his bed and scratches his head. “ARGH! He might realize I like him!” And he lay down again. ‘To even go as far as lying… I just hope I won’t regret this.’ And he fell asleep.
------------------------------------
“Ohayou Daichan!” thaw was the first thing Daichan heared as he steeped out from their house. He never expects to hear his voice this early in the morning. He’s heart beat is fastening due to his surprised but he managed to act casually.
“What are you doing here? We usually meet near the station.”
“Daaaaaaichan~ have you forgotten?” Takaki answered, childishly. He’s afraid that the awkward air might surround them again just like yesterday.
“Ah, the couple thing nee.” He answered trying to keep calm in spite remembering what happened the day before.
“Hai~ Dakara…” and Takaki held Daiki’s hand. Daiki flinched at the sudden contact which Takaki did’nt fail to notice.
“What’s with that? Don’t worry, I won’t kiss you like yesterday.” And the words he’s been trying to stop slip from his lips. ‘Oh shit!’ is the only thing that comes into his mind. Daiki on the other hand was startled by those sudden words and stopped his steps.
Takaki, not knowing what to do, let go of Daiki’s hand. He took of one of his skull ring and peck Daiki’s lips with it. The younger was startled by the older’s action.
“See? Kiss is just something like that! Don’t worry about it anymore, Daichan.” He said while smiling and reassuring Daiki. He’s trying to hard to stop the awkward air from coming and even lied to his own self. ‘Who the hell are you fooling, baka.’
“Chigau yo. I’m just remembering if I was able to finish my assignments! Like I would go daydreaming to your kiss~” Daiki retorted in a playful manner trying to show Takaki that he isn’t affected, which, of course, a lie. ‘Sou dayou nee. A kiss is as simple as that to you’.
And they resumed to their way to their school, laughing, teasing, just like how childhood friends would act. Just that they’re hands were intertwined and they’re words doesn’t really fit they’re thoughts.
