Chocolates

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

-----------------------

Valentine's Day. A Holiday specially made for lovers all over the world. Celebrated on the 14th of February every year in different countries in different ways. In Japan, it is a day when girls give the guys they like homemade chocolates.

Eugene tore another wrapping and pooped the chocolate in his mouth, rolling it on the inside of his cheeks as he hummed in satisfaction. With a crunch, he bit the chocolate and tasted the cocoa and nuts. Eugene hummed in happiness and swayed left to right as he ate his chocolates. In a few minutes, Eugene was already taking another chocolate and tearing away with its wrapper. With another pop, the chocolate was shot into his mouth. That was when he noticed his twin looking at him. Eugene blinked, rolled his chocolate in his mouth before speaking.

"You want some, Noll?" he asked, holding out a box to his twin who was sitting on the couch.

The younger twin sighed. He eyed Eugene and the boxes of chocolates that covered their carpet and shook his head.

"You're going to throw those up, Gene." Oliver said and went back to his book.

Eugene frowned as he bit onto the chocolate in his mouth. He eyed the box that he tried to give to his brother and started opening it. There were five cutely shaped chocolates inside. Eugene looked at the card on it. It was from the little girl that he usually baby sit next door. He popped a white bear-shaped one in his mouth and hummed happily.

"Gene..." Oliver started narrowing his eyes on his twin.

"Whaaaat?" Eugene pouted, "It's not like all of these are mine! Half of them have your name on it! You gave them to me since you didn't want them!"

Oliver's eyes narrowed even more before he sighed, shook his head, and went back to his book. Eugene just continued pouting as he popped another bear in his mouth.

"Sheeesh! Stop taking it out on me." Eugene muttered just loud enough for his twin to hear.

Oliver glanced at Eugene, his head still turned to his book.

"Just because Mai refused to go on a date with you," Eugene said popping what seemed like a half-baked heart-shaped chocolate in his mouth.

Oliver twitched, slammed his book shut, and glared full on at Eugene. He opened his mouth, about to say something as a retort but closed it again afterwards. Oliver slumped back to the sofa, sighed deeply, and pouted as he fiddled with the cover of his book.

Eugene blinked rapidly at his brother's expression. In all the years they've been together, and that would be since birth, Eugene had rarely seen Oliver pout. That was his department.

"I guess Mai has him line, hook, and sinker." Eugene thought and he snickered earning a glare and a pout from Oliver. Eugene gave his twin a smile.

"Oh come on, Noll," Eugene started, "You should know Mai by now."

He left his boxes of chocolates on the carpet, dusted himself, and sat beside his brother on the couch. Oliver moved to give him room.

"She probably didn't notice that Valentine's Day was already near until you asked her out for a date," the older twin reasoned, "I bet she's still in the kitchen trying to make you some chocolate."

Eugene looked at Oliver and saw the pout gone. His brother now had a relaxed expression and eye that were thinking. Eugene assumed that Oliver was trying to be positive.

Eugene let himself smile at his brother's change of mood and went back to the floor with his beloved chocolates. He was rummaging through the boxes until he found a familiar box. He blinked and remembered something about that box.

"Hey, Noll!" he called out, box in question in his hand.

Oliver turned to him and raised an eyebrow at Eugene as the older twin waved the box at him.

"I almost forgot about this one!" Eugene hopped to his feet and tackled Oliver down the couch.

Oliver cringed as he hit his head on the arm rest and glared at Eugene who was currently sitting on him. The older twin showed no remorse as his lips curled into an evil and sly smile. Oliver's glare turned into a confused stare as he looked at his brother.

"This little box...," Eugene trailed, opening the box revealing a misshapen yet familiar looking chocolates, "...is from Madoka."

Oliver held back a gasp as his eyes grew wide. Madoka's chocolate are 'evil incarnate' as Eugene had labeled them. They wither make everyone sick in the bathroom or right on the rug where said chocolate was eaten. Oliver had no intention of eating them, forced or otherwise, and so he struggled underneath his twin. Eugene just sat there with a grin on his face as he pulled one deformed sweet from the box.

"Open wide, Noll!" Eugene snickered as he tried to feed Madoka's chocolates to Oliver.

Oliver kept struggling, pushing Eugene and his hand away from his face, and Eugene struggled to put the chocolate in his twin's mouth. Their struggle had them rolling on the carpet, switching between who was sitting on who. They stopped, with Oliver sitting on Eugene, when the door opened.

They both looked at the door and Oliver's eyes widened. Eugene started laughing. Mai and Yasuhara stood motionless by the door.

There was silence, aside from Eugene's snickers, that was broken when Yasuhara swayed dramatically towards the twins.

"Gene! Why?! I know you love your brother but why?! Why, my love?!" Yasuhara cried dramatically as he fell to the floor beside Eugene's head. Eugene laughed harder.

Oliver hastily got up, grabbed his coat, and took Mai's hand. The said girl flinched in surprise but smiled when she saw Oliver blushing mad and pouting. Mai surprised an urge to giggle by pursing her lips.

With one last deadly glare to his twin, Oliver half dragged Mai out of the room and slammed the door shut. Eugene and Yasuhara cringed at the sound then laughed.

"So, whacha do this time, partner?" Yasuhara asked, a glint of evil in his eyes and glasses.

Eugene shrugged, "Nothing much. Just tried to force a chocolate down his throat," he passed Madoka's box to Yasuhara, "Want one?"

The older prankster smiled and took one of the chocolates to his mouth as Eugene evilly smiled from the side.

The following day was awfully quiet as Yasuhara called in sick to his stomach. Eugene just hummed happily to himself as Oliver shook his head. Madoka's chocolates are 'evil incarnate'.
