Soma turned the box of chocolates over in his hands. It looked, basically, like a box of assorted chocolates. The ones he had tried so far were delicious, but right now he was concerned about who had sent it.
Most of the box was in his native language, so that was no help. All of the community's communications seemed that way. Plenty of people would send chocolates on Valentine's Day. Morozoff sounded vaguely Russian... But very few people he knew would send what was actually a Japanese brand.
Well. He'd have to investigate that.
Shinji was relaxing in his room, looking through a large quantity of boxes of chocolates. He turned when Soma entered, his usual smirk reappearing on his face. "It didn't take you long to get a worldhop, huh? I don't know if I should ask about your trip when it barely takes a second."
"I guess you shouldn't." Soma checked out the many containers of chocolate. Many of them were Morozoff brand, xerox copies of the one he'd received. "You're pretty popular, aren't you?"
"Yeah, I am. It's hard to carry all of these home from school, but I can't risk offending anyone." Shinji shook his head, although he didn't seem at all upset. More smug.
Soma studied his own box carefully, just to be sure. It was definitely exactly the same as a bunch of the other boxes. "Morozoff doesn't sound like a Japanese brand."
"It's the most popular kind in Fuyuki, actual- hey. You can't just take someone's chocolate without asking." Shinj's eyes narrowed. "That chocolate might be important to someone."
Raising an eyebrow, Soma continued as nonchalantly as he could, "Really? Because this one's my box. I found it at home this morning."
Shinji's face went red for a second before he immediately turned away from Soma, crossing his arms. "Get out of my room. Get out of my house."
That was a telling reaction if he'd ever seen one. "Shinji-"
"Get out. Get out. Get out get out get out."
With a shrug, Soma left his room as ordered.
"Senpai, you got White Day chocolate?"
"Oh, wow~ Senpai isn't secretly a girl, right~?"
"Maybe a guy likes you! Huh, I wonder who?"
Shinji buried his face in his hands, refusing to look at the box of chocolate. It wasn't big and it didn't look expensive, but it was definitely chocolate and almost definitely from the only guy he'd given Valentine's Day chocolate to. He didn't need a card to know that.
Soma wasn't supposed to find out who he was. It would have been so much easier that way. Why did he ever try doing nice things if this was how they turned out?
He considered throwing it away and pretending he had never seen it, but there was no reason to waste good food, even if it Meant Things He Didn't Like.
