Chapter Summary: Kurogane seeks Yuui's help on getting Fai's White Day present.
“YUUI!”
The cooking teacher named Yuui turned around to see a tomato red colleague right behind him. This colleague, a gym teacher, was looking extremely irritated and embarrassed. His expression obviously showed Yuui that it had something to do with….
“What did my brother do now Kurogane-san?” asked the blonde warily.
“He keeps bugging me about making him a fucking White Day present since he gave me those blasted sugary death traps on Valentine’s Day.”
Yuui nodded wisely. His brother wasn’t very subtle, even when he tried to be. However, this didn’t really seem like something that he could fix. Unless….
“Kurogane-san, are you asking me what I think you’re asking me?”
The gym instructor winced as he said, “Can you teach me how to make something called Chocolate Fondant? If I don’t, you’re idiot brother threatened to burn all my P.E. equipment with some acidic concoction they’re making in his Chemistry class.”
The chef sighed. This DID sound like something Fai would do. Sugary sweets were the absolute best treats to him. It was like Kurogane and alcohol, except Fai probably had too much of that too.
“Sure, my last period of the day is free. We could do it now if you like.”
“Tch.”
The next hour consisted of a lot of oaths (Kurogane) and patient instruction (Yuui). The cooking teacher never thought there would be someone who was just that inept at cooking. Now matter how hard the raven haired man tried, things just wouldn’t come out right. First there were the mistaken amounts of ingredients that went into the mixture. Then, Kurogane put the wrong setting on the oven. Finally, the melted chocolate hadn’t turned out how it was supposed too, unless it was supposed to look like a chunky brown mass. No student had proved to be this incompetent in Yuui’s entire career. It was refreshing in a way, but this was getting to be too much.
Finally, through the combined effort of the two men, a semi-edible piece of Fondant was created. While they cleaned up the thoroughly destroyed kitchen, they talked. The gym teacher found that he rather enjoyed talking to Yuui. He was actually calm, not like his mirror image, who was like a firecracker wherever he went.
“So, tell me, do you think that I’m similar to my brother in any way?” asked the curious blonde.
“Well, you look so much alike that it’s hard to tell who is which when you’re together.”
“But you knew that I wasn’t Fai when Yuuko-san sent you two on that wild goose chase.”
“Well, I just notice little details like that around me. And you’re facial expression was totally different from him.”
“How could you tell?”
“I just could. It was instinct I guess.”
“Or maybe you’re just more aware of him than you think.” Yuui noticed a blush starting to creep its way up Kurogane’s neck.
“Tch, it’s hard NOT to be aware of the bastard when he’s bouncing off the wall all the time.”
“You know what I think?” Yuui smiled mischievously looking alarmingly like his twin.
“…What?”
“I think you like my brother!” Yuui’s smiled widened when Kurogane almost dropped the bowl he was wiping.
“WHAT?! WHY THE HELL WOULD I LIKE A DUMBASS LIKE HIM?!” The crimson eyed man yelled, but he was given away by the blush that now covered his entire face.
“Then why are blushing? I think I’m right. Why else would you be making this for him? Everyone around here knows that you wouldn’t do this for anyone….except maybe if Yuuko-san threatened to fire you….Nah, not even then.” Kurogane now knew that Yuui was just as much of a schemer as Fai was, he just hid it better.
The grumpy man’s blush deepened from scarlet to tomato red. He started scrubbing vigorously at the counter that hadn’t had anything on it.
Just then, a man who looked exactly like Yuui barged in, trying to whistle while instead making sounds that sounded suspiciously like “hyuu”. “Yuui, I’m ready to go!” He stopped in his tracks when he noticed the room was occupied by not just his brother. The minute he saw the other man, he immediately brightened up and ran over to tackle the taller person.
“Kuro-tan-sensei, what are YOU doing here?!” The athletics teacher growled and dislodged himself from the chemistry teacher.
“None of your damn business idiot,” he responded. He made to leave, but Fai stopped him by grabbing his arm in a grip stronger than most people would guess. He had noticed the dessert sitting one of the tables. His head turned slowly from Kurogane to the chocolate, and he squealed.
“Kuro-chii made me this Chocolate Fondant for me! Kuro-myu really does care!”
The tan man wrenched his limb from Fai’s grasp. “Hmph, just take it before I decide to chuck it in the trash.”
Fai wasted no time in gobbling down the carefully made cake. He smacked his lips. “That was delicious Kuro-sensei! You’re such a good cook!”
“Whatever, I’m leaving.” Kurogane snatched his coat up from a vacant chair and strode out the door, redder than ever.
Yuui cleared his throat. Fai looked around. “Oh, sorry Yuui, I forgot you where there!”
Yuui chuckled. “I noticed.”
“Kuro-pon was so sweet to make this for me!”
Yuui laughed. “Sweet? He told me you threatened to melt all of his gym equipment if he didn’t make it for you.”
His twin’s brows furrowed in genuine confusion. “I never said that.” The cooking teacher knew his brother inside out, and he knew that his twin was telling the truth.
“Well….maybe he just likes you.”
“Kuro-pipi likes me?! Yay!” The blonde raced through the door, forgetting that Kurogane was probably already on his way home and that his brother was his ride. Yuui chuckled again, following the sound of Fai’s footfalls.
