"Yoshinobu, have you ever received chocolate from a girl?"

At the coffee shop I entered during the date, Nanami told me that.The chocolate parfait I ordered was placed in front of Nanami, and her gaze was poured on it, not on me.

It's a little sudden, but apparently I saw the chocolate parfait and said something I doubted without worrying about it.It's easy to imagine what you're talking about Valentine's Day from the word "chocolate."

I do not put my hands on the maroon parfait in front of me, but put my arms together to follow my memory.Chocolate... chocolate...

No, I don't.

"I was handed it to my stepmother in elementary school, and I wonder if it's only from my mother?"

No matter how much I remember, the only thing I got was in elementary school.It's not about destiny or anything like that, but about getting a little chocolate that we distribute to everybody.

It's sad... no, it's not sad.I didn't have any memories of getting so much chocolate.

Since junior high school, I've been trying to be plain and discreet, so I haven't gotten any.It's hard to say last year. When she told Nanami about it, she had a slightly surprising look on her face.

"Didn't you get it last year?Last year, there was a big chocolate festival in every class. "

What a festival. Suddenly the name of a strange festival popped up.Now I'm surprised. [M]You're not kidding, are you?

"Daiichi Chocolate Festival... was there such a school event?"

"No, it's not an official school event.You've never heard of a Valentine's Day event where you do a lot of school work on a boulder? "

"Well, that's right. But why did such a festival take place?"

"Ah, don't you know Yoshinobu?A festival in which girls are begged by some boys and persistently begged to distribute brother-in-law chocolate separately, but only for girls without boyfriends and boys without her. "

I've never heard of it. I mean, there was a strange noise among the boys in my class on Valentine's Day, but was it a festival?I didn't know such a festival was taking place.No, more than that...

Hmm, I didn't get it then either.

I thought it had nothing to do with it, and I have no memory of being handed it over to me.If they gave me anything, I'd remember and give it back.Has the shadow faded through?

Er? It's not bad? I can't forgive Yoshinobu for being a hub, even though the class was different.

I was so cute and angry that I felt the seven seas carrying the spoon to my mouth with a big sip of chocolate parfait, but I put a spoon in the parfait so that I could follow her and forgive her.

Well, it's a thing of the past, and I'm not really that angry, but I'll follow up with you for a moment.

"No, I didn't really get involved in that.Even if it's forgotten, I can't help it. "

"I don't know what to do. Didn't Yangxin want chocolate?"

"Hmm... I wasn't really interested in Valentine's Day.Even if it was given to me at that time, I thought it would be troublesome to give back.That's why I don't think I was part of it. "

"Wow...."

Then I recalled the words of Nanami. [M]The big brother-in-law chocolate festival was only attended by women without boyfriends.I mean... did Nanami participate?

That might not be as interesting as it sounds.Unfortunately, my mind is narrow, but I envy receiving brown chocolate from Nanami... to be honest.

"Yoshinobu, I'm a little upset... but do you really want to participate?"

"Ah, no, Nanami would be so jealous if I gave someone chocolate..."

I revealed the truth in a reflective manner to the unexpected words. [M]Shit, I was going to hide it because it's not cool, but they asked me.I was alarmed.

Nanami dyed her cheeks a little and smiled happily at my words.

"Noooo, noooo. Were you worried about that? It's so cute, really."

"... did I peel so much?"

"Hmm, I was just a little nervous.I didn't think you were jealous of me. "

Yeah, it's a little embarrassing. Seven sea cheeks are getting less red, against the heat on my cheeks.Whether you know or not how I feel, Nanami stuck my index finger in my cheek.

"Don't worry, I'm not in.I was a little resistant to giving it to boys. "

Really?

"Yeah, so don't be so naughty."

Nanami stuck my cheek with a smile. [M]It seems very pleasant and delightful.Why are you so happy...?But I felt a little relieved.Well, Nanami didn't participate?

"For now, it's not Valentine's Day, but have a bite of chocolate parfait.Yes, hmm? "

I stabbed the spoon that I had been carrying in my mouth earlier into the parfait and gave it to me to chip up the chocolate part mainly.Apparently, they want me to eat it.

"Oh, don't worry.This is not Valentine's replacement...I just wanted to feed Yoshinobu. "

If that's the case, would you like my maroon parfait too?

"I ate it! But first, will you eat me? It's melting."

Sure, if I leave it like this, it will melt, so I have to eat it early.I put chocolate ice cream in my mouth on the spoon I was offered.The bitter taste of chocolate and the coolness of the ice spreads into your mouth. Yeah, it's delicious.

Nanami then opens her mouth silently.Looks like I'm waiting for a maroon parfait. [M]I don't see much in my mouth, but it feels a little... lewd...

In the meantime, I shake off the troubles that come to mind, and I slowly carry the maroon parfait that I swallowed onto the spoon to the mouth of Nanami.

She smiled happily when she included the delivered parfait in her mouth.

"Marlon parfait, delicious."

"Chocolate parfait was delicious too."

"Indirect kissing... hey?"

"That's right, we kiss each other indirectly...Why is indirect kissing more embarrassing than ordinary kissing? "

"I wonder why. Normal kissing feels more direct and embarrassing."

After that, while feeding each other, we flatten the parfait. [M]In the end, I feel like I've eaten half by half.

"Ah, it was delicious. I ate parfait for a long time."

"I've been eating for a long time. It was delicious."

The two of us who left the coffee shop walked hand in hand.Somehow, I feel like I'm getting connected naturally when I go out recently.I feel very happy when I hold her hand warm and soft.

Nanami was walking with the hope that it would be the same, and I realized that I had been pulled back in a way that preceded Nanami.Is there a destination somewhere?

"Nanami, where do you want to go?"

"Hmm... not yet."

Keep it to yourself. Well, if there's anywhere Nanami wants to go, I'll just follow you.But I arrived at the destination surprisingly quickly.It's really close to my eyes and nose from the coffee shop where I ate the parfait.

I arrived at a fairly stylish chocolate shop.The scent of sweet and fragrant chocolate seemed to float.

"You like chocolate here, don't you?When I was in Valentine's Day, I bought it to exchange for Hatsumi and Ayumi.Just get excited and eat good things together. "

"Is that your friend Chocolate?"

"Yes, Valentine's Day wasn't an event for boys, it was just an event to exchange chocolate with friends..."

So Nanami took his hand off me once, and took a box of chocolate that was on display.The chocolate itself is stylish, but the packaging is also very stylish and seems to be far removed from me.

"But from now on, it's going to be an event that I'm going to give to boys, too.It's going to be official next year. "

Seven seas laughed as if they were hiding their embarrassment as they gazed at me. [M]Well, if you ask me, will it be a day for me to get chocolate too?

But if we're talking about next year, isn't there any point in bringing me here right now?If that was the case, Nanami took the chocolate she had to the cash register and settled the accounting.

Then when I left the shop and moved to a less popular place, Nanami offered me a box that was beautifully wrapped, with a little embarrassment.

"Yes, Yangxin. It's a little late, but happy Valentine.Will you accept my feelings? "

While tilting her head, Nanami handed me the chocolate cutely.Though I had anticipated it, there was something that illuminated me when I was told again.

I can't refuse being told to accept it.It is unlikely that there will be an option to say no.Is there a man in the world who doesn't take chocolate from her?

"It's the first chocolate I've ever given to a man other than my father."

First Chocolate!!

I realized in a bad dialog that my hand receiving chocolate would tremble.May I have such an honor?I feel that the way I look at Valentine's Day has spinned around.

Was it such a happy day?No, it's not Valentine's Day.I'm going to have an illusion. Is this the feeling of rising to heaven?

"Ah... thank you. I'm glad."

I take the chocolate with a trembling hand, a little stuffed with words. [M]When she realized that she would receive her first chocolate, she seemed nervous without knowing it.

"Ahahah, Yangxin's hands are shaking."

She laughed, but I noticed that the box of chocolate handed over was faintly sifted.Looks like I'm not the only one nervous...

"Nanami, aren't you shaking a bit?"

"Oh, you know what? I'm a little nervous, too."

She let go of the box as she found out.Take a deep breath and put your hands behind your back with a little embarrassment.

I couldn't help but love the figure, and I managed to endure the urge to embrace it. [M]Instead, I tell her how honest I am. [M]

"... I've never gotten a real chocolate from a girl... no.Today may be the happiest day of my life. "

"Isn't that an exaggeration? You're right about chocolate.But I'm also... the first boyfriend Yoshinobu ever gave me chocolate.It's our first time together. "

"I knew this was the best day of my life."

"Ahahah, I'm glad you said that.I wish I could make it by hand, but I've never made chocolate before, so look forward to it next year. "

"Handmade, I'm looking forward to it.Thank you, Nanami. I'll do my best to repay you. "

When we smiled at each other, the tension finally subsided by talking to each other, and the tremors in our hands stopped.

Speaking of which, there's also a White Day.I forgot. No, in the first place, it's totally out of time for Valentine's Day. "

Nanami murmured as if she remembered with a slightly neat face.Apparently, I was satisfied with giving me the chocolate, but I'm not. [M]

Now I need Nanami to take my first. [M]

"It's my first time giving it to her on White Day, and I'll make her feel better."

"... it's my first time sharing again. I'm glad."

"One month later, I look forward to it.Today is our pseudo-Valentine's Day, and a month from now it's a pseudo-White Day. "

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it!... ah, that's right.It's Valentine's Day, so I have to tell her. "

As Nanami walked away from me, she kept her hands behind her back and smiled at me.

"I love you, Yangxin."

In one word, my heart warms up with emotion. [M]That's why I decided to respond to her words with a heartfelt smile.

"I love you, Nanami."

As it is, we once again joined hands and went home feeling happy. [M]

So today, we're a little late for Valentine's Day.

It may be strange, but I don't mind such a day.
