Valentine's Day!

Happy Paradise / Sorayuki

It had been a month since Sora had accepted Yuki's confession on their Utsuroshima field trip, and the duo had been going steady for the rest of the trip. They had been given endless attention, questions, anddate ideas from their classmates, and Sora enjoyed seeing the flustered expressions on Yuki's face. But now, it was time to go home.

On the Monocruise, which Sora still couldn't grasp what the design was of, it took nearly a week to arrive back at the mainland, but Sora spent her time playing around with Yuki, hanging out with Yoruko and Setsuka, and looking at all the sights from the ship. But soon, they came to the shore and went back to their regular class lives.

As Sora sat at her desk and got ready for her lesson, several unanswered questions still lingered in her mind, like why she was acting so strange on the island, why Yuki had confessed so suddenly, and why the name 'Mikado Sannoji' was still in her mind, despite him not being in her class. According to Nikei, he had known him a long time ago as a child, but he had burnt to death in an orphanage fire.

"Hey, um, S-Sora..." A voice snapped her out of her thoughts, and she looked up to see her boyfriend standing beside her desk, his face red with blush.

"Oh, Yuki. Hello." She smiled up at him, happy to be spoken to by the person she loved. "Come sit down, I can share my notes I got from before the trip."

"N-No, it's not that. I'm actually caught up." Yuki chuckled, though he seemed to be a bit more at ease. "I-I, um, actually wanted to give you something..."

Now that Sora noticed it, he had his hands behind his back, like he was hiding something there. "What do you have, Yuki?" She asked, now curious about this gift. Usually, she was the one giving gifts to her classmates and deepening her bonds with them, so it was rare that she got anything.

The lucky student's face went bright red as he was reduced back to a stammering mess. He took out the gift from behind his hand and held it out to her with two hands. "Th-This is for Valentine's Day, I-I hope you like it..." He squeaked, amusing Sora to no end.

The present in his hands was a heart-shaped box, which she took from his hands and put it down on her desk. "Thank you, I'm excited to open it." She confessed with a smile, getting a squeak out of Yuki as she began opening the box.

Inside the box, there was a bunch of different kinds of chocolates, including white, milk, dark, caramel, and even chocolates with cookies and jam inside. Sora smiled as she put a milk chocolate into her mouth, and she picked up a piece of white chocolate from the box. 

"Say 'ahh,' Yuki." She teased, and the cute noise that came from Yuki made her giggle. He did open his mouth, and she happily fed him the piece of chocolate. "I like these. They're just as sweet as you are." The albino flirted, guiding Yuki to sit down beside her as his face went even more red with blush.

"Soraaaa..." He whined, hiding his overheated face in his hands. 

The girl leaned against him as she continued eating the chocolates. "These are delicious, where did you get them?" She inquired, her smile never leaving her face.

"U-Um, just the convenience store down the road..." Yuki replied, slowly lowering his hands from his blushing face. "I didn't get them from anywhere too expensive."

"That's odd, these really seem to be high in quality." Sora pretended to inspect one. "I guess it's because you're here that they taste better, Yuki."

"OH MY GOD- Were you building up to that?!" The ginger exclaimed, and the albino giggled at her flustered boyfriend.

"What can I say, you're fun to tease." Sora admitted, popping the piece into her mouth and turning to hug him. Yuki buried his face into her shoulder as he hugged her back, and the two of them stayed like that for a couple seconds. Sora pulled away first and looked up at Yuki. "Hey, wanna skip class? We're allowed to do that here."

"Huh? W-Why do you want to?" Yuki question, looking around. Everyone was almost here already.

"I wanted to check out the library with you, and since I have money, I was thinking of heading to that new restaurant downtown for supper, and then checking out the firework show happening tonight when it gets dark." The albino suggested. "What do you say?"

"I-I...sure!" The lucky student replied chipperly, and Sora stood up from her seat, grabbed her box and her boyfriend, and left the room. The two of them had a fun afternoon and night, and the fireworks were the prettiest thing that sora had ever seen.

And Sora was happy.

She was happy.

She was happy.

...And so was Mikado.
