(A/N : Don’t worry about the timeline! It’s just an idea!)
…… This was the day about a month after the winter break.
I started studying after winter break and I was in a hurry at any rate, no matter how much of an advantage I had, I was in a hurry to study before I took the exam.
But still …… Events come and go without us knowing about them. So, as January ended and February came, we were celebrating Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day…… I guess not many people’s hearts are dancing.
I was a little nervous about whether I would get one this year, too, because every year I get chocolates from Saaya.
Because this year is the exam season …… I’m sure there are a few people who won’t be giving it.
I was looking forward to getting some from her this morning, but as I expected, I didn’t get any.
“…… Ah, by the way, today is Valentine’s Day, right?~”
“Ah, you’re already telling me that, aren’t you?”
“Is that wrong~?”
I don’t know….. I’m a boy, so I didn’t say it because I thought it would be wrong of me to say it, but Saaya is very clear about it.
“…… What is it? You’re giving me chocolate?”
“Chocolates huh~…… I give it to you every year, so I don’t need it this year. ….. I was thinking. Do you want it by any chance?”
“N-no. It’s not like that.”
“Hmm~~n…… Then, you don’t want it, do you?”
The moment I heard those words ….. I was shocked the most this year for some reason. It can’t be helped,…..? I’ve been getting Valentine’s Day chocolates from my childhood friend every year.
Of course I’d be upset.
“Nnn~~, but I have a feeling you might get one.”
“I always get it from you. …….”
“It’s always been me who’s been doing that. …. I wonder if there is one person I can’t let my guard down.
“Hmm?”
“Ah no, it’s nothing.”
Saaya was thinking about something alone. …… I don’t know what on earth she is thinking about.
She’s muttering to herself, but she’s speaking so fast it’s like a mantra, so I can’t hear her.
“Well, if you mind someone else giving it, why don’t you give it?”
“……. Well, maybe that’s true.”
Well, we headed to school while having such a trivial conversation.
Well, maybe I shouldn’t have gotten it…I don’t know what to say in return. It’s not like I’m sulking! ! no! !

…… So that’s how I arrived at the school. The moment I arrived at the school, I somehow knew by the atmosphere …… Not just my classmates, but most, if not all, of the boys on the way to class were soawing……. But well, it couldn’t be helped.
“Futaba…… got chocolate?”
As soon as I walked into the classroom, …… Rei and Kaname asked me such a question. Apparently, I felt like looking at their faces……. Ah, these guys didn’t get any, what a comrade
“No? I didn’t get it.”
“Don’t lie to me, you traitor.”
They’ve been talking in unison for a while now. …… I’m afraid that they’ve gone this far.
“I’m telling you, I didn’t get any from Saaya either.”
“Ha? You’re kidding, right?”
“Since it’s this guy, he’s getting it from the other guys anyway. ……”
Isn’t it? I’m really surprised, Rei…I guess it won’t be a problem if I tie it up later.
I decided so in my mind.
“it’s strange. We used to get it every year.”
“Ummm……..”
“I want to strangle him to death….”
Rei was deep in thought, but he looked as if he had just come up with an idea…but for a moment, he turned his head back, as if frightened by some kind of murderous intent. No, no, what happened?
“Well, ……. I’ll just say it’s all right, Futaba.”
“Ha …….?”
The moment Rei said that to me, the chime echoed throughout the classroom.
Damn, you always always become when you don’t need it. …….. I really don’t forgive you.

……. somehow, I was being called for the break.
“Here you go…… Futaba-kun.”
I was handed something by Yuki. Could this be ……
“Could it be ….. chocolate?”
“Yes. ……. Well, it’s a leftover. I thought it would be good for those who didn’t get it from Saaya.”
“How did you know that, you ……”
“I overheard your conversation earlier.”
Apparently, our earlier conversation was pretty loud. …… No, that’s pretty embarrassing.
“I see. …… Well, I’ll take it anyway.”
“Yes, please do.”
Then I smiled and tried to put the chocolate in my pocket. ……
“The chocolate is heavy, isn’t it?”
I don’t mean to be snide or anything …….
It’s not like I’m saying anything bad…It just feels like something I don’t know is being put on top of me…no, what am I talking about?
“Is this really leftovers? It doesn’t seem like it weighs as much as leftovers.”
“It’s a surplus.”
“No, but…”
“It’s extra.”
“Ah, yeah. …….”
Apparently it’s surplus …..I don’t know, even this bag looks like it’s going to cost a fortune.
“……. I suggest you eat it in one bite.”
“Why ……?”
“Cause you can’t control your cravings. …….”
“cravings?”
“Ah, no, don’t worry about it.”
Yuki said, “Well then,” and left. …..Was it my imagination that her lower body was shaking when I spoke…?Well, it’s just my imagination.
With that in mind, I quickly returned to the classroom and finished the remaining classes at school.
So Saaya and I finished school and came to my house to study. ……
“I’m going to check the contents of your bag.”
“Haa?”
Saaya suddenly stole my bag and tried to check the contents of my bag.
“What the hell are you doing?!!”
“Because, you might have received chocolate, right?”
“…..What are you going to do if there are any?”
“…… What do you think I’m going to do?”
“Well, ….”
I’m in a cold sweat for some reason. …… What’s this feeling that I’m going to be thrust into a worse and worse future, even though I’m not supposed to have done anything wrong……What on earth does it feel like before a husband cheats on his wife and she finds out?
Then Saaya eventually found the chocolate Yuki had given me. …..
“……. as expected, this is your favorite, right?”
“No. ….. No, Saaya.”
“No? I think it’s right though.”
“…… She just gave me surplus chocolate. … so”
Yes, Yuki just gave me surplus chocolates and topped the bag with a little something while practicing for the upcoming Valentine’s Day. …… The mistake must be corrected.
“……. So?”
“Eh?…..”
“So what’s the point …. You think that’s true?”
“No, because she’s …..”
“That’s just an excuse to give you chocolate. ….. Can’t you even think about that?”
“No, she’s not the kind of girl who thinks that way.”
“Really?….Are you sure about that?”
“Well, that’s …..”
“I don’t know who that is…… Who’s your partner now?”
“It’s Saaya……”
“Right …….? That’s why.”
Saying that, …… Saaya took something out of her bag.
“Is this ……?”
“Yes, the chocolate you’ve been dying to have.”
“Eh, …..?”
I was so surprised and stunned. …… Because I thought that Saaya would not give me any more chocolates.
“…I knew you would get the chocolate from Yuki. But I thought it would be fine for Yuki. However, I decided to give it to you at the end to strengthen the impression of my chocolate. I wanted to, that’s all.”
“Is that so…”
Honestly…I was so happy. After all, I thought I wouldn’t get chocolates from Saaya, but I did.
“Haha… It’s just as you calculated. My head is full of your thoughts.”
“Hehe…That would be great.”
Saaya gave me a perfect cute smile and I smiled too.
This happy routine …… Let’s keep hoping it doesn’t fall apart…… Let’s just keep on chewing on this happiness.
