💗SEES + Valentine's Day💗

Minato:

Since you've known him, the transfer student had always mystified you. His expression always calm, his eyes always lidded, you couldn't help but be curious. You've never seen his face change much. But that would change today!

You had a plan. Everyone gets surprised at being given chocolates, don't they? Minato had to be the same. And this wasn't just because you might've became interested in him and wanted to give him something, it was purely for science.

So you studied him cautiously, waiting for the right time. He talked to a lot more people than you thought. When he was on his own, you acted as if you happened to just pass by.

"O-Oh, Minato-san!" You called, smiling nervously. He turned, wearing the same expression he always did.

"Good timing! Since I wasn't expecting you to be here, or anything like that." You laughed forcefully. Clearing your throat, you continued. "Anyway, I... Just... Wanted to give you this!"

You were so embarrassed that you wanted to avoid his eyes, but you knew you had to look, or it would've all been for nought! As you peeked up at his expression, you saw that he looked a bit surprised.

"For me?" At your swift nod, he hummed. "Well, thanks. I appreciate it." 

 Your efforts weren't fruitless, but you hoped for something more concrete. And you were at least happy to give chocolate to your crus- test subject. 

"A-Anyway, I need to go, bye now!" You stammered out a response.

"You know, we could always just hang out one to one." Minato suggested casually. "Wouldn't that be easier?"

Afraid he'd found you out, you turned to explain. That was when you saw a smile on his face, and found you couldn't form many words at all. Your mission was succeeded, but it didn't feel like a victory!

Junpei:

"Alright, whoever wins this round gets a reward, how's that?" Junpei suggested out of the blue, promoting you to glance at him questionably.

"That's new." You blinked. "Are you sure you're okay one giving something to me?" 

"It wouldn't be that ba- wait, you're automatically assuming I'll lose?" He gawked at you, to which you laughed. "I'm just trying to spice things up a bit, that so wrong?" 

"Nope, I don't have a problem with that." You replied, trying to keep your giggles in check. That attempt failed, and Junpei groaned at your muffled laughter. Still, he couldn't force himself to frown too long.

As intelligent as always, Junpei had a plan. Knowing that today was the famous fourteenth, he figured that there'd be chocolate to be given and received. He thought that if you happened to have some that you wanted to give to him, hypothetically, he could create a scenario where you could so without embarrassment. It would just be part of the rules of the game! Foolproof.

Soon characters and a stage were selected. It was a heated battle, you were in the lead many a time but with such a priceless reward to Junpei on the line, he overtook you just as much. The clacking of buttons seemed to resound louder than the music blaring from the television, until the screen went black.

The room was silent, but only for a moment, as the two of you let out a loud "what?!"

Junpei sighed, stretching his arms. "Well, that sucked."

"Definitely. But I was in the lead, so I think we can say I won." You responded.

"No way, it doesn't count! I only believe the result screen, which would've had me at the top."
