February 14th, Valentine's Day.

The streets and shops smelled heavily of chocolate and roses, the young couples laughing and enjoying themselves. The single people were confessing their love and making more couples possible.

A young teen stood in his dormitory blushing. His light grey hair brushed his face, his blue eyes looking up to meet red. In front of him stood a taller red head, looking down at the teen.

"We're going out today?" The older boy asked, head cocked to the side. Rin Matsuoka was his name, the upperclassman and roommate to Nitori Aiichiro.

The underclassman nodded. "Yes, if you'd like. I need to get something from the stores." Nitori responded, grabbing his wallet of his desk. "I need to get some chocolates."

Rin smirked and ruffled the younger's hair. "Oh, does little Nitori have a crush?" He teased. Nitori knocked his hand away and stomped his foot.

"M-maybe! But it's none of your business!" The younger whined and started to walk out. "Hurry up, senpai!"

Rin threw his hands up and laughed. "Alright, bossy!" He said and walked with Nitori.

Walking along the street made Rin realize that he was single and lonely, Nitori too. Some of the couples or street vendors would stop and ask the two if they were a couple, to which Rin would deny furiously and Nitori would blush. Rin eventually got tired of the questions and asked Nitori, "Can't I just wait here?"

"No! I-I mean, I'd rather you not." Nitori blushed and looked down. "I want you to come and help me pick out their gift."

Rin sighed and massaged his neck. "Fine. Where are we going?"

Nitori pointed down the street to a little booth. "There. They sell chocolate and stuffed animals." The booth was pink and smelt sweet. A nice lady greeted them and pointed to what they sold.

"We sell several things for either a romantic night out or a night in a hotel room!" She grinned and held up a pair of handcuffs, making the two blush and cough.

"I-I don't need that!" Nitori covered his red face. "I'm just buying a gift for someone." He pulled out his wallet. "What kind of stuffed animals do you sell?"

The woman put the toy down and gestured to the rack holding all of the animals. "We sell pretty much every animal! Which one would you like?"

Nitori pulled some money out of his leather wallet and handed it to the woman. "I'll like to get a box of chocolates and a stuffed shark." He looked down and blushed. He glanced over at Rin. "I think they'll like this." He smiled as he held the stuffed shark.

"I hope so too." Rin smiled down at him. "Come on; let's go back to the dorms." He grabbed Nitori's wrist and started to walk back to their school.

Nitori tried to protest, but he went along with it for a few yards. 'Does he know?' He thought to himself. When they got near the street, Nitori pulled his wrist out of Rin's hand.

"What is it, Nitori?" Rin turned around, not expecting Nitori to stop so suddenly. "You've been acting secretive real lately."
