3. Chapter 3 (1/2)

csilla: yes, this chapter is sort of meant to be short :)

"oh my~ is yuu actually expecting chocolates this year?" shinoa's teasing remark made the rest of us laugh as my best friend did his best to angrily deny the accusation. when yuu realized he wasn't going to be able to stop the rest of us from laughing and teasing him, he did the only thing he could direct the conversation onto someone else.

"what about mika? he's always gets chocolates every year even when no one knew who he was…" i tossed the throw pillow near me at his head, knowing it was already too late. the girls would be teasing me now.

a mischievous smirk spread across mitsuba's face, "yes, we almost forgot about mister popular over here, didn't we shinoa?"

a matching smirk, "why yes~ we did… do you think we'll see a continuation of last year's incident?" at the mention of the event of last year, my face flushed with color and one look to the other person involved said he, too, was embarrassed by it.

:: flashback ::

"how is it you always end up getting all these chocolates? i swear this is more than last year…" yuu complained as he helped me carry all the chocolates i had been given throughout the day.

laughing, "who knows, are you jealous?" i teased him as we walked home discussing mostly the lack of chocolates yuu had received and the overabundance of ones i had received.

we were walking up the steps when i asked, "what's the point of this holiday anyways?"

ant green eyes widened as yuu stepped up to the keypad, "are you serious? man, i wish i could be that indifferent… valentine's day is a day where girls give chocolates to the person they love," he spoke as he typed in his passcode before the door clicked open.

"that's absurd… shouldn't anyone be able to give chocolates to anyone for the sake of doing so? without feelings determining who should get some and who shouldn't," it was true, i couldn't understand why people made a big fuss out of valentine's day. to me, everyone should get chocolate.
