Super Heart-Throbbing Chocolate Confession!

Hifumi

       Hajime was dazed when he heard the bell ring from within the school building. It wasn't until he saw several more students walking past that Hajime realized that not only had he let Chiaki rest longer than he had intended, but he also had fallen asleep. He managed to get his classmate back to their classroom after poking her cheek a few times to wake her up.

  "Thanks for walking me back," Chiaki smiled as she played on her gaming console, "Wasn't it fun to take a nap at school?"

  Hajime sighed, "That's only because I let my guard down. I don't think I've taken a nap in the middle day since, well, middle school."

  Chiaki stood by the doorway, "I guess you really pay attention in class then."

  Hajime shrugged, "Just as much as the average person."

  "Anyways, I think I'll take a small nap here," the Ultimate Gamer said as she yawned, "You can count on me to defend the chocolates for you."

  "Thanks, Chiaki. Make sure you don't take too long of a nap this time, okay?"

  Chiaki sleepily nodded as she opened the classroom door, "Let's sleep together another time."

  "D-don't say it like that!" Hajime stammered.

  "Huh? But that's what we-"

  "Because people will get the wrong idea if you say it like that! Just go inside, alright?" Hajime gently pushed her inside the classroom before closing the door.

  "Ah, so it seems the rumors were true," Hajime turned to see a pudgy boy wearing glasses.

  "I can explain-!"

  The boy chuckled "No need, I see what's going on. Would you be open to a few questions, Hajime Hinata?"

  Hajime eyed him suspiciously, "Hold on, who are you?"

  "I see you're reluctant to give information to someone you barely now," the boy offered his hand, "Then let's get acquainted, shall we? I'm Hifumi Yamada, the Ultimate Doujin Author."

  Hajime shook his hand, "So, what's this about?"

  "You."

  "Me?" Hajime pointed at himself.

  "Yes, I have a question to you," Hifumi's eyes gleamed with anticipation, "Now, just how were you able to make your entire class into your capture targets? Please tell me your secret!"

  "Uh, I don't really have any secrets. My class is just exchanging valentines with each other." Hajime's eyes widened, "Oh, did you want to join in too? We have a few people joining us who aren't in our class."

  Hifumi huffed, "If you wanted me to consider you as a possible romantic interest, then you should've been born into 2D world."

  Hajime rolled his eyes, "Sorry for being a real person."

  He rubbed his chin, "But you know, if you truly wanted to increase my affection meter, you could try to cosplay as my lovely Princess Piggles."

  Hajime grimaced, "I'm not playing dress up, and was that the only thing you wanted to ask?"

  The doujin author frowned, "You see, my latest creation didn't live up to everyone's expectations and I'm trying to figure out why. I thought you could hold the key since you're so similar to the main character."

  "I don't think I could help you since I don't really have a talent."

  "You don't have a talent?" Hifumi gasped.

  "Yeah, sorry I couldn't be much help-"

  "Just a moment!" he stared intensely at Hajime, "Were you from the Reserve Course?"

  Hajime rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah."

  "Of course! It's always the transfer student!" Hifumi gave him a thumbs up, "I'm forever in your debt."

  Hajime stared at the boy quizzically, "What did I do exactly?"

  Hifumi chuckled, "You've helped in a way you could never imagine."

  "Could you at least give me a hint?"

  "Let's just say your existence is all the proof I need," he smiled.

  "Um, thank you?"

  "No, I should be thanking you," Hifumi shook his head, "Actually, that's not enough. How should I reward you? Ah, I know! You like chocolate, don't you? Could you give me your number, Hajime?"

  "Here you go, but I don't need a-" Hajime started before Hifumi cut him off.

  "It's done!" the Ultimate Doujin Author announced as Hajime received a notification, "I'm just sharing my beloved Princess Piggles' sweet love; she made this chocolate herself, you know."

  Hajime opened the attachment and saw a screenshot of what appeared to be a game, "Thanks, I guess I can lick my phone's screen when I get hungry."

  Hifumi dreamily sighed, "And her love will last forever."
