[fic] TGZ: Valentine's Chocolate
Reserving the Right to Post this on MC1T if this Week's Challenge is indeed Valentine's Day.
So there.
Oh, yeah. Opening Olympics was very crack-tastic. Very pretty tho. Hey, were those Rennisance Costumes actually period?
+++ Takes place while they're travelling the States+++
They were arguing, of all things, about Valentine's Day Chocolate.
Without consulting the other, they had each gotten a chocolate bar from what passed as the local convenience stores and smuggled it on to the bus. After the ride had started they'd each casually handed the other the sweet, only to be pleasantly surprised to receive one in return.
For two guys on the run, that had actually been pretty impressive of themselves.
After some quiet snickering and eating of said chocolate bars, the debate had started.
If he wanted to be honest --and really, where was the fun in that?-- Kaito started it. There was only so much 'safe' conversation that could be tolerated before you could start to feel your brain dribble out of your ears in rotten oozing green masses.
"I think I should get two chocolates." He commented in Japanese. Partly to hear his native language again --Americans had different accents and dialects depending on where they went, but in general it was a more staccato sound than the British he'd gotten used to-- partly for security reasons. They were dressed as Japanese students currently anyway.
One of Saguru's eyebrows had almost touched his hairline. "-Two- chocolates?"
"One for me, one for my other half." He announced loftily.
Saguru frowned, peering at him suspiciously. Except for a slight twitching of his lips, Kaito had kept a pretty straight face. "In that case..." Saguru said slowly. "I should get two chocolates too. One from each half."
"You did." Kaito pointed to the chocolate wrapper that was the remains of Saguru's chocolate. "It came in two pieces."
The former blond pulled out the wrapper and held it up, like he was holding a snake by the tail about to bite him at any moment. "That doesn't count."
"Why not?"
"It has coconut in it." Saguru pointed under the word 'Mounds' on the red and white wrapper to where it said 'coconut'. "Therefore it doesn't count as Valentine's Day chocolate."
It was Kaito's turn to look sceptical. "Since when does coconut have anything to do with it?" At least he hadn't gotten the one with the nuts in it.
He got a smug smirk in return. "Coconut's White. So it's for White Day."
Okay, so the detective had a point. "But there's chocolate. So it's for Valentine's Day."
"So?"
"So you still got two pieces of chocolate and I only got one." He back tracked. Still, his had been a solid chocolate bar. Not quite as creamy as the Meiji chocolate bars back home, but still, chocolate was chocolate.
"Do you want to check the weights and see if they're equal too?" Saguru snarked. The tone might have been bitter sounding, but his expression was amused.
Kaito grinned back, warming up to the argument.
It was St. Valentine's Day and they were arguing chocolate.
No flowers, red hearts and soppy romance for their Valentine's Day, thanks. They'd continue on as they had began.
