  "You all did a great job on your exams yesterday but I'm worried about how some of you improved," Ms. Yukizome announced to the class as she returned Hajime his graded paper, "I thought your paper was Gundham's at first, but I did confirm it was your handwriting."

  "You betrayer!" Souda yelled across the classroom, "You said you didn't want to share answers with me during the exam but you did with Gundham!"

  Ms. Yukizome smiled, "I'm going to pretend I didn't just hear that, but are you alright? Hajime, the words on this paper are really unlike you."

  "I see," Gundham chuckled, "It appears I have a human who wishes to join me in the realm of darkness."

  Hajime sighed, "Ms. Yukizome, I'm going to die alone."

  "W-what do you mean by 'die'?" Mikan stammered, "I might not be a doctor but I could at least treat you based on your symptoms."

  "Don't bother," Fuyuhiko rolled his eyes, "He's just being an overdramatic baby."

  Hiyoko sniggered, "Like you're one to talk."

  "Say that one more time, I fucking dare you."

  "Like the paper says, my youth is wasting away," Hajime slumped over his desk, "I'm in my second year of high school and I've never gotten any Valentine's Day chocolates."

  "That's what you're complaining about?" Mahiru huffed as she reached into her bag, "Jeez, it's a few days early but I can give this chocolate bar if you-"

  Hajime sighed, "I don't want it."

  "Stop being picky, you can keep it and eat it on Valentine's-"

  "Confess!"

  "What are you accusing me of?" Mahiru crossed her arms, "It's from the school store, I didn't steal it!"

  Hajime glared at her, "Don't you understand the meaning of Valentine's Day chocolates?"

  "Don't you just eat them?" Chiaki asked.

  "Oh, I know!" Ibuki raised her hand, "It's love."

  "Exactly!" Hajime pointed at Ibuki, "You can't just give Valentine's Day chocolates without properly confessing!"

  Fuyuhiko groaned, "If Mahiru says she likes you and gives you that chocolate bar, will you shut up?"

  "W-what? Why do I have to say I like him?"

  "Dude, you should just ask your mom," Souda suggested.

  "You know, my mom thought I was going to get chocolates from someone else this year," Hajime sighed, "Do you know what she said when I told her I wasn't going to receive any?"

  "Uh, that she loves you?" Akane answered.

  "She said she'll always love me, like I'm going to die alone with only my mother's love," he groaned, "I don't care who they are, all I want is someone to be my valentine."

  Nagito shuffled in his seat, "I-if you don't mind someone like me, I could be your val-"

  "It's not such a bad thing to receive your mother's love, Hajime," Teruteru interrupted, "But as the Ultimate Chef, I understand your desire to receive food, or rather sweets, that reflect true love. In order to satisfy your lust for love, I propose a game of sorts."

  Chiaki looked up from her console, "A game?"

  "We'll hold a love game where we all give chocolate and love confessions to Hajime on Valentine's Day," the chef explained.

  "How come he gets all the chocolates?" Akane grumbled, "That's not fair!"

  "Hajime won't eat all of it, he'll only accept the chocolate of the person he feels the most moved by and the rest of us can exchange amongst ourselves."

  "I'd rather have candy than chocolate," Hiyoko interjected.

  Hajime thought for a moment, "Well, I don't mind receiving candy as long as I get confessed to."

  Mikan counted on her fingers, "W-won't someone get left out if Hajime doesn't give any?"

  Ibuki jumped up, "Hajime could give the winner of the game some chocolate as a reward!"

  Sonia clasped her hands together, "The victor of his heart should receive white chocolate for White Day!"

  "Uh, isn't White Day a month away?" Akane asked, "So someone will have to wait a whole month just for chocolate?"

  "Nope, he'll give it out on Valentine's Day," Teruteru answered, "Unless there's any more questions, does everyone here want to play?"

  The rest of the class nodded in agreement as Fuyuhiko sighed, "If it'll get that guy to stop sulking, then I'm in."

  "A chocolate exchange sounds like a fun activity for the class to do!" Ms. Yukizome smiled, "This Valentine's Day will really be an exciting event you will all remember when you're older!"
