Chocolate Love

TODAY IS VALENTINE’S DAY (At least, in the anime world), AND YOU HAD STARTED PLANNING FOR TODAY TWO WEEKS AGO. Your plan was to make dark chocolate for Izaya-chan and to give it to him when you go to work. After your work shift is over, you were going to invite Izaya out to a restaurant.

However, things didn’t exactly go according to plan. After all, it didn’t occur to you that there would be a person named Izumi stalking you all day.

“Eh?!?! Aren’t you going to make chocolate for Izaya-chan?~”

Due to the fact that you felt like he was invading your privacy, you didn’t want to make chocolate with him around.

“Don’t you like him?~”

Izumi had been watching your every move ever since you woke up, and if you started making chocolate now, he would know that you’re making chocolate for Izaya, even though you want to give it to him secretly.

“What do you want, Izumi-san?” You asked, rather annoyed.

“It’s Valentine’s day, isn’t it? Aren’t you going to make chocolate for your crush?” Izumi asked with a smirk.

You blushed. “W-Who said I liked Izaya or that I would make chocolate?”

Izumi sighed. “[Name]-chan, you’re as hopeless as you were back then.”

You blushed even harder when you remembered how popular Izumi was back then (and maybe even now). The main reason why you had friends in the past was because you were Izumi’s friend.

Izumi stopped texting on his phone and put it down besides him on the bed. He looked up at you with a serious face and said, “[Name]-chan, make me chocolate.”

“Eh?!?! What’s with the sudden demand?!?!”

Izumi rolled on his back like a sad, little puppy.

“We’ve been friends for twelve years, and you never gave me chocolate on Valentine’s day.”

“Well….”

“Don’t you like me?” Izumi asked.

“As a friend, yes.”

“Who said you can’t give chocolate to friends on Valentine’s day?” Izumi asked.

“You have a point…”

Izumi smiled. “Don’t put too much sugar in mine, okay?~”

You raced into the kitchen. Your pulse felt like you were running in a marathon but you didn’t.

“It’s not like I like Izumi or anything…” You thought to yourself.

OF COURSE NOT. YOU LIKE IZAYA.

“Maybe talking and breathing was a workout,” You thought.

YES YES, IT WAS A WORKOUT THAT CONSISTED OF BREATHING EXERCISES.

Eventually, you calmed down and took out the ingredients required to make the chocolates. You decided to make two batches: one for Izumi and one for Izaya. Looks like you didn’t wander too far from your plan, after all.

Izumi smirked when you left and unlocked his phone.

“You heard that, Izaya-chan?~” Izumi said into the mic.

“Yeah, I heard it,” Izaya reply.

His usual chipper, high-pitched voice was now deep and serious.

What happened? While you were moping around in your house all day, Izumi was busy storming up a way to get you to make him chocolate while making Izaya jealous. He managed to kill two birds with one stone by being blunt and asking you to make him chocolate and by recording the conversation to ‘upset’ Izaya.

‘Eh?!?! Aren’t you going to make chocolate for Izaya-chan?~’

‘Don’t you like him?~’

‘W-Who said I liked Izaya or that I would make chocolate?’

‘Don’t put too much sugar in mine, okay?~’

These phrases echoed in Izaya’s mind.

Okay, maybe Izumi used a voice editing app to make those phrases echo, but still….

These phrases echoed in Izaya’s mind as he tried to interpret the new emotion he’s feeling.

Stress? Frustration? Izaya guessed these were the emotions he was experiencing.

"What are you going to do, Izaya-chan?~" Izumi asked.

"Nothing... It's none of my business on who [Name]-chan gives the chocolate," Izaya replied.

"Eh, so you were one of those nice guys?" Izumi said, "Good luck. Nice guys finish last."

"I FINALLY FINISHED!" You exclaimed.

Izumi popped his head around the kitchen door.

"Wow... It smells so good!"

Izumi inhaled the delicious aroma of dark chocolate that was floating in the air and watched as you placed heart-shaped pieces of chocolate into a transparent bag. It was when you tied the bag with a ribbon that Izumi started to wonder what you're doing with the sweets.

"Why are you tying the chocolate up? Aren't we going to eat it?" Izumi asked.

"Yeah, there's another batch right there," You said as you motioned to the fresh batch of chocolate that's lying on a tray on the kitchen counter. "This bag is for Izaya."

"I thought you said you weren't going to give him any chocolate."

"I changed my mind," You said as you grabbed your coat.

"Don't go."

"What?"

Izumi slammed the door shut, grabbed your arm, and trapped you between nearby wall.

"I said don't go."

"Izumi, it hurts..."

When Izumi saw your pained expression, his senses came back and he let go of you.

"Sorry... I just had a vision," He said.

You nodded. "It's okay... I'm leaving for Izaya's place now. I'll come back," You said.

Izumi stood there as he watched you leave. "That's what you said last time."

"You made chocolate for me?" Izaya asked.

He was very surprised when he saw you at his door with a bag of chocolate in your hand.

"Weren't you making the chocolate for Izumi?"

"Meh... I made a second batch. That was actually the batch I messed up."

Izaya laughed. "Ahh, that's my [Name]-chan~!!"

You giggled as Izaya merrily opened his bag of chocolate and took a bite.

"Not bad..."

"Awhs, you don't like it?"

"I do... It's just missing something."

You sighed. "How will I ever please you?"

Izaya took another bite of chocolate. Then, he walked up towards you and kissed you. He swallowed the piece of chocolate he was eating.

"Nevermind, I think this chocolate is perfect."

You licked your lips. It really did taste good. Looks like you managed to follow your plan, after all.
