Thank you fam! And YES WE NEED MORE TANAKA FLUFF OUT THERE! He
became an instant favorite of mine as soon as he walked in through the gym
haha! I hope your answered ask is okay!
The calendar on your desk seemed to be mocking you as it proudly displayed the highlighted holiday. Tomorrow was February 14th. Aka Valetine’s Day.
You groaned out loud as you spun around in your chair. This would be the first time celebrating a holiday with Ryu and you wanted to make this one special. You weren’t so much worried about making the chocolates, but what did your boyfriend like? Or dislike? Did he like dark chocolate? Milk chocolate? Maybe he didn’t like chocolate at all! You knew you should have figured it out sooner but with Ryu being busy with his upcoming volleyball games and you with your club, time just seemed to fly by.
Gripping your hair in frustration you decided to call the best person for advice. His sister. After dating Ryu for a couple of months, (93 days, but hey who’s counting right?) you and Saeko seemed to hit it right away when you first met her.
“Hey Saeko!” You cheerfully greeted when she picked up your call.
“What’s up _____! Don’t tell me my brother is causing you trouble!”
You giggled at Saeko’s question but you knew she was joking.
“He’s not! But I actually have a question about him.” You heard a hum from Saeko and you continued on. “Does Ryu like chocolate?”
“…”
It was silent on the end for a second before you heard a burst of laughter. “You’re so adorable _____! Of course he does! I bet he’ll eat anything you give him! Ah, are you planning to make him chocolate for tomorrow?”
You felt your cheeks redden from Saeko’s comment. “He would? And yeah I’m planning to make some chocolate but I need to know what he likes…”
“He’ll be fine with whatever you plan on making him! Trust me, this little brother of mine, is just sooo in lo-”
Saeko’s sentence was soon cut off by the sound of running steps and the familiar voice of Ryu. “Is that ____?! Why is she calling you?!”
“Because she’s sick of you!” Saeko screamed back. “She’s asking me if I know any better looking dudes than you! Now go away! Wait, let go of my phone!-”
“What?! Stop lying sis! Ugh please don’t listen to whatever she said ______! I’ll see you in school tomorrow!”
You laughed at the continued bickering noises from the Tanaka siblings and you decided to hang up before they could drag you into something crazy again. “Well, thanks for your input Saeko!” You could just picture Ryu’s face as he emitted a small gasp.
“What?! Saeko what did you and ______ really talk about?!”
“Yeah see you _____!” Saeko replied back as she ignored Ryu’s cries. “And remember what I told you! Good luck!”
You shut your phone but not before hearing Ryu’s frustrated groans and Saeko’s teasings. Feeling a bit better from Saeko’s input you decided to get to work.
The next morning you were scrambling to get to school because it took you so long to tie the bow onto Ryu’s gift. (Not your fault that your scissor was being annoying and wouldn’t curl the ends!) Based on Saeko’s advice you decided to make a mixture of milk, dark, and even strawberry dipped chocolates. The small red package was safely hidden in your bag as you just barely made it to first period.
“Safe!” Your friend laughed as you sat down in a hurry, avoiding the teacher’s gaze. “So, what happened with you and Tanaka?”
Taken aback from your friend’s question you could only give her a curious look. She continued on with a whisper. “He was in a bad mood today! Did you guys have a fight?”
Wait….Don’t tell me!
“We’re fine.” You calmly replied, but inside you were screaming. Ryu probably misunderstood the whole situation from last night! Knowing him, he probably believed what Saeko was saying.
“Well, I ain’t no matchmaker but today’s Valentine’s Day! Did you make chocolates for him?”
You smirked at your friend and you gave her a sneak peek of the red package in your bag. “Of course I did!”
You couldn’t wait until the lunch bell would ring since that would be the only time you would get to see Ryu before he would bolt off to volleyball practice at the end of the day. You smiled at your athletic boyfriend’s enthusiasm since you knew he could appear off as a rough and tough gang member, but you knew deep down he was such a goofball and a sweetheart.
Time to seem to drag on and on and when the bell finally rang, you grabbed the red package from your bag and ran to meet Ryu by his classroom door. Thanking your friend’s good luck wishes you rushed out the classroom and made a bee-line to class 1.
“Hey Ryu!” You greeted cheerly as you finally spotted him leaving the classroom. “Ryu?”
Okay now you were worried. Ryu had dark circles around his eyes and he looked so troubled? You’ve never seen Ryu look so down so you decided to make a light joke. You jabbed him lightly at his sides with your elbows,“failed your english test?”
You watched Ryu’s face slightly twist into a smile but he still looked so down. “Okay, fine Ryu. What’s wrong? Is it what Saeko said last night?”
Ryu nodded in silence and you couldn’t help but giggle at your boyfriend’s pout. “Oh come on Ryu! You know Saeko was teasing! Besides I have a small surprise for you!”
Ryu seemed to perk up at the word ‘surprise’ and snapped his head back to you. “Surprise? For me?”
You nodded in excitement and decided to drag Ryu outside. “Come on!” You laughed at Ryu’s expression turn from a frown to a smile.
Once you were outside, you had Ryu cover his eyes with his hands. “No peeking!” You could see Ryu shaking from excitement as he waited patiently for your gift.
“Can I see now?”
You make a small noise in agreement and held out the red package in front of Ryu’s face. “U-um, Since Valentine’s Day is today I wanted to make you something special Ryu…”
Feeling bashful from the silent Ryu you continued on. “The reason why I called your sister was because I didn’t know if you liked chocolate or not! So…I hope you’ll enjoy the-!”
Ryu cut off your rambling with a strong hug that lifted your legs of the ground.
“R-Ryu!”
“Are you kidding me ________?” Ryu laughed as he spun you around into a circle. “Thank you _____! God I’m so stupid for believing that!”
You laughed as you watched Ryu smile even bigger. “Yeah that was pretty stupid of you Ryu.” He finally dropped you down back on the ground and carefully opened the red package.
Ryu practically inhaled the chocolates once he peeled back the plastic and melted into a mess of content. Ryu watched you smile and he couldn’t help but wanted to share this moment with you.
“Um…______ can I?”
You glanced at Ryu curiously but not before being shocked again when he came closer to you and placed his hands underneath your chin.
“I-I’ve always wanted to do this _______.”
You smirked at Ryu’s shyness but he seemed to hesitate. “What did you want to do Ryu?” You cheekily asked him as you nuzzled your cheeks closer into his hands. He hesitated a bit longer before finally reaching down to plant a kiss onto your lips.
The pressure of his lips was so delicate, a feat you never knew Ryu had until this point, but at the same time it suited Ryu.
When you finally broke apart from Ryu, he had the look of amazement and bewilderment at the same time. “W-wow…”
You could only copy Ryu’s statement and smirked when you licked your lips and tasted the faint milk chocolate residue from his lips.
“Hey Ryu, I wonder what dark chocolate would taste like on your lips?”
