How to address Fujiwara-san, Fujiwara, Towa-kun, Fujiwara-kun depends on how close the speaker is to the listener.
Who initiated the idea of giving chocolates on Valentine's Day?
He really wanted to knock it upside down.
He, Inaba Tamaki, is seventeen this year. Single for as long as I am And no one has ever given chocolate on Valentine's Day for that many years.
The boy sat with his chin on his back as he glanced at the popular boy in his class, Fujiwara Towa, out of the corner of his eye. There were also girls on the other side. Surrounded as usual
I saw the intricately wrapped chocolates in the hands of the girls. Those young men became even more sullen.
A pop boy is still a pop boy. Even though he never accepted any of those chocolates. But every year there are still young girls who want to come and try out the products. And this year is no exception.
Only Fujiwara Towa still sets his sights on breaking the record of breaking girls' hearts. For another year
The class bell rang and the girls finally left. At the same time, the cause of the chaos returned to sit at the table.
“Why don't you get some? They are pitiful and will die. You can make me mean every year.” Tamaki turned to look at the person who walked to sit at the study desk to his right.
“Give hope even though you have no heart. That is cruel.”
“Such a pop boy's words,” Tamaki rolled his eyes. “You could at least give it to me to eat.”
His gentle face froze for a moment. Before Towa could smile
“Tama-chan.”
"what"
This time Tamaki's response was curt. When he was about to complain that the other party called him by a childish nickname, Towa continued speaking with a fake smile on his face.
“Don't be so greedy.”
The young boy's eyes widened. Prepared to scold back But the sound of the door opening rang out as a middle-aged man wearing glasses with an erudite appearance walked in. Tamaki swallowed the curse back in his throat. before turning to glare at the other person. and opened his mouth and frowned
"I'll see you in an hour."
Lunch arrives and the escape of the girls begins. Fujiwara Towa is the culprit, but the person in trouble is Inaba Tamaki.
The young boy looked up at the tall man who was dragging him around like he was carrying a doll. Then he slammed the palm that was holding his shoulder hard.
“This year I was unlucky with you again,” Tamaki muttered, if it weren't for the fact that someone was trying to give Towa too much chocolate. Would they have to run around and find a place to hide like this? “Even though there really isn't one for me.”
“Nice, Tama-chan.”
“I didn't even account with you this morning. Stop calling me that name. I'm seventeen this year. Seventeen, not seven!”
Towa smiled before correcting the call, "Alright Tamaki."
Tamaki rolled his eyes, they had been friends for so long that he knew the other was only temporarily changing to calling him that. Then he would come back and call him that childish name again when he wanted to tease him. or are irritated
“So where are you going to hide this time?”
"I don't know. I keep changing places."
“Stop studying from the beginning and it's over.”
“No, you'll ruin the name of all my students.” Towa leaned back against the maple tree that only had branches left. “Besides, even if I don't come. They're going to leave the chocolate with you anyway, right? You're a soft-hearted man.”
Tamaki didn't argue. that he had to go on a fateful adventure with Towa Because of the girls I know that the two of them are close. Again, Tamaki is still soft-hearted. Accept gifts Easier than the real goal
"So what? I can't let you go out and face the cold weather all lunch break like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man sneezed once, the tip of his nose turning white and light red.
Towa didn't say anything. Then he raised one hand and pulled his best friend into his arms. And Tamaki buried his cold face into the other's shoulder.
The entire action happened so naturally, it was as if the two of them had done it hundreds, if not thousands, of times.
A muffled voice sounded softly.
“Why is it that only you get chocolate?”
Towa didn't reply. He wrapped his arms around his best friend and walked back into the building.
The muffled voice sounded again.
“Then why don't you accept it from anyone for a year?”
“..." The tall youth looked outside. A complicated look appeared in his eyes for a moment. “I told you, receiving it even though you didn't feel anything was cruel.”
“Besides, those who want it never give it.”
The last sentence was so soft that Tamaki couldn't understand it. The boy looked up at his best friend and frowned slightly.
“What did you say just now?”
"nothing"
“What about you? Do you really want to have a boyfriend?”
“Huh?” The young man felt that the other person was acting strangely. But I don't know how strange it is.
“I see you really want chocolate,” Towa said, reaching into his jacket. “Every year you say you really want a boyfriend?”
I don't know why Tamaki felt lonely in Towa's voice.
“Not really, but getting chocolate from a girl is every boy's dream.”
“It's not me.”
“Yes, Pop Dad.”
Tamaki rolled his eyes with a stunned expression. People who get things easily How can I understand someone who has never had it?
“For me, receiving chocolate from thousands of people is a blessing. It's not the same as getting it from just one person you like.”
“So you already have that person?” Tamaki looked into the other person's eyes. And Towa looked back. Two pairs of eyes meet One couple flashed a dazed expression. The other couple showed signs of weakness.
"did not answer?"
"Heh, I thought you just said it coolly."
For a moment, Tamaki was secretly relieved. He was a little afraid that his childhood friend would run off and get a girlfriend first. But when he saw Towa looking back, his face remained calm. The young man was sure that there was no secret crush on the other party.
Well, they were stuck together for almost twenty-four hours.
“Tama-chan.”
Tamaki frowned as soon as he heard his name called, "What else?"
"stupid"
“Suebue”
“Hey hey.”
Tamaki didn't even have time to protest. His head was rocked back and forth.
“People who fall in love with Tama-chan are really pathetic.”
Tamaki rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time that day.
“The person who fell in love with you is pitiful.”
Towa laughed softly.
“They didn't fall in love with me. They fell in love with my face.”
“Towa, you are so annoying.”
Towa smiled.
"thank you for watching"
Winter gets dark earlier than usual. After finishing the evening class Both of them finally freed themselves from the girls. Favorite challenge Tamaki put his things in his backpack and turned to his best friend.
“Hurry back before your beloved ones come.”
Towa frowned, “Dearest, what? I don't like any of those women.”
“So the fan club?”
“There's no need to find definitions for you guys. Hurry back.”
"um"
Tamaki stood up, but when he started walking he was stopped by Towa.
"what"
“Did you take everything home?”
“It's complete.”
"sure?"
“Sure, what will it be?” Even though his mouth said that But the young man still crawled under the cage. Then his fingertips stumbled upon a box about the size of the palm of his hand. “Huh?”
"what"
“I don't know what's inside.”
“Take it out and have a look.”
For a moment, Tamaki felt like a close friend who seemed strangely devious. But he didn't have time to pay attention as he took out the mysterious object and looked at it.
A delicately wrapped light blue gift box stood out against a white palm. The moment he saw what was on Tamaki's palm, it felt like a dream. His white cheeks brightened before he stammered.
"this..."
“What?” The tall young man frowned.
"chocolate?"
“A lump of curry?” Towa rolled his eyes and pulled his best friend by the arm and walked out of the classroom. “Hurry up and go. I can't go home now.”
In the blink of an eye, Tamaki arrived home. The young boy blinked his eyes. When I turned, I saw my best friend sitting on the side.
“Can you please slap me?”
Towa didn't reply. After a moment Tamaki moaned.
“Why did you hit my cheek?”
"Well, you told me to hit you."
“I really didn't want to do it.”
“That's really a big deal,” Towa made a tickling noise in his throat. “What you got is just a box of chocolates.”
Tamaki's face turned red when he heard the word chocolate. Just now, if Towa hadn't brought him home. Perhaps right now the young man wasn't sure where he stood.
“What are you going to understand?”
“Um, I don't understand, it's just a box of chocolates. Got it from someone, I don't know. What are you so happy about?”
"...Let's stop being friends, Towa."
The tall boy pursed his lips, “Alright, I, this fool, doesn't understand anything. Please explain.”
Tamaki smiled with satisfaction on his face.
“One, it was the first box of chocolates I received. It wasn't the girls who gave it to you.”
Finishing this sentence, Tamaki gave the troublemaker a slashing look.
“Two, secretly giving it to me like this must definitely not be polite chocolate.”
Let's just say he never got chocolate as a courtesy. Because he had a presence that was like a scorching fire that attracted insects to his side.
(Mainly, there are chocolates that are given to people who really like them. With chocolate that is given according to the etiquette that women give to men so that they don't feel lonely because no one gives them chocolate)
"So what? You're going to date the guy who brought you chocolate?"
“That requires looking at who the giver is.”
Towa's expression changed in the blink of an eye, mixed with confusion, nervousness, and a little bit of happiness. before the young man's face returned to normal
"You...don't you get along with people easily?"
“Before you love someone, there must be a learning period, right? It's not like dating today and getting married tomorrow. If you like it, become a lover. If you don't like it, you won't be a fan. It's easy and you'll die."
Tamaki raised his head in a boastful manner. Even though in my heart I knew that I was just talking like that. To be honest, until now the young man still didn't understand the feelings of love and affection for each other. He felt that the star was very beautiful. This idol is cute. End of admiration
Sarcastic lips directed at close friends like that. If he had girls Surrounding each other like that is not acceptable. In truth, Tamaki just wanted to experience the feeling of being the center of attention and receiving lots of gifts.
“Did you ever think that the giver might be a man?”
Tamaki froze, “Are you saying that someone wants to tease me?”
“How do you understand the issue?”
“If a man brings you chocolate, doesn't that mean he's deliberately teasing you?”
Tamaki turned to look at his best friend with an expression on his face. On the other hand, Towa's face dropped.
“Why, are you saying that one man purposely giving chocolate to another man isn't bullying?”
“Then why does a man giving chocolate to the person he likes have to be bullying?!”
The tone was a little angry. It made Tamaki flinch.
"Ha?"
“You said a guy liked me?”
Towa froze before quickly covering up his expression.
“What are you saying? I'm just saying that if someone gives you chocolate, it's a man. What are you going to do?”
“I will record it.”
"Why"
“I was deliberately teasing each other. That guy must have seen that I really wanted chocolate from the girls so he secretly gave it to me. When I'm done being happy, he reveals himself and laughs.”
Towa sighed, his expression clearly not understanding this friend's thoughts.
"I told you, he probably didn't want to tease me."
“If he didn't want to tease me, why would he bring me chocolate?”
“..." Towa glanced at the person beside him and stammered. "If he likes you..."
This time Tamaki was silent. The expression on his face is like a student preparing for an exam who has stuffed too much study material into his brain.
“If a guy likes me?”
“Yes, what are you going to do?”
“Me?” Tamaki seemed to be thinking deeply. In seventeen years, no one had ever confessed their love to him. Don't just talk about women. I don't even have a dog. Would it be a bit too hardcore to suddenly jump on a man? "It's me."
“Yes, that's you.”
“Is that possible? The person who should eat both men and women is you.”
Towa blinked. before pointing at himself, “Me, what am I like in your eyes?”
“Mr. Handsome”
“Don't argue.”
Tamaki pursed his lips, "Please argue."
“Continue talking.”
I don't know why. The other party smiled brightly. Tamaki frowned slightly. I feel like I want to pinch my best friend's forehead.
“You are a good student.”
“That's true.”
It's not worth admiring.
Tamaki rolled his eyes inwardly and patiently continued without pushing his tall friend off the bed.
"Tall Mr."
“Mr. Good Body”
“Mr. Nice personality.”
“You are very kind.”
Tamaki quickly spoke together. Prevent Towa from interrupting. But even the other party will not interrupt. He smiled until his mouth was touching his ears.
“In conclusion, you are a model man. If someone were to choose a lover Between you and me, he has to choose you.”
“That's not certain.”
“If that person is blind, maybe yes. I can't see your face and I won't be hit in the face by your handsome aura.”
Towa laughed, reaching out to caress Tui's head. of close friends
“You don't understand. Each person has their own specs. In my eyes, you are the best.”
Tamaki pursed his lips and held back a smile. Because I'm always stuck with Towa. Even if it looks better than this Study better than this. Others couldn't see him anyway.
Because of Fujiwara Towa is too outstanding.
But even then Tamaki was never disappointed. He was also extremely proud of this friend.
“In my eyes, you're the best too,” Tamaki lightly poked his tall friend with his elbow. “Ah, but less than my parents.”
“Can't you just let me have sweet dreams a little longer?”
"What kind of sweet dreams are you going to have, young man Pop? He's good at school, an outstanding sport, and is so popular. Why are you dreaming sweet dreams because of my praise?"
“It's not the same.”
“What is different?”
“Your compliments and other people's compliments.”
“Awesome”
“Tell the truth.”
For a moment Tamaki felt strange. Even though the other party may want to tease you. But he was a little happy. Not like everyone else means special, right? To be accepted by a popular guy would be so satisfying.
And in order not to hurt his face, the young man looked away.
“Is it because other people praise you on the outside and not on the inside?”
“No, because the person watching is you.”
“What is that?” The young man looked away and laughed. “So what should I do with this one?”
Tamaki picked up the blue gift box and looked at it and smiled stupidly. No matter how taunted by close friends He couldn't deny that this gift made him smile without stopping.
Towa rolled his eyes, "Maybe it's chocolate."
The cheerful expression instantly changed. The strange feeling in Tamaki's heart disappeared along with the teasing expression on the other person's face.
“Are you jealous of me?”
Tamaki then received a disgusted look from Fujiwara Towa again, "What do you think? Oh, I'm still tired today. I almost died avoiding girls."
Tamaki looked at the man who had smashed his own limbs with an exaggerated expression and became upset. "Can't you just let me hold you back a little?"
"no"
“But actually, I'm jealous of you too.”
“Are you saying that you're jealous of being able to live a peaceful life?”
"No, I'm jealous that you're dishonest."
Tamaki scowled. One hand reached out and pinched the skin on the side of his best friend's waist. "Yes, young man Pop, who would go to school to do well in sports and be ganged up on by girls like you?"
“Oh, that's enough, you person who likes to use violence. Go ahead and eat some chocolate.”
At first, Tamaki intended to unwrap the present. Then it was like something flashed in. “Who said it might not be chocolate?”
The other party still kept a straight face, but in Tamaki's eyes, it was extremely suspicious.
"Whatever you look at, guess what? Guess. Do you understand?"
“Oh?”
"um"
“Suspicious”
The young boy frowned. Trying to find clues on the face of a close friend But before he could sense his suspicions, Towa pushed the young man's face away and hurried.
“Hurry up and unpack.”
“Yes.”
Tamaki's concentration returned to the gift box in his hand. Even his heart beat faster than usual. He slowly unwrapped the light blue paper. And when he opened the cardboard box, he found a large piece of star-shaped chocolate with wings.
Tamaki glanced at the person next to him. Try to find the suspicious look on your close friend's face. The chocolate in the box looked too weird. And he had never seen a store that sold chocolate that looked like this. So it must be handmade chocolate.
Even though handmade chocolate is very special and shows the intention of the giver more than bought chocolate. But when he saw this chocolate, Tamaki felt strangely annoyed.
“Do you think his face is strange?”
Fujiwara's expression Towa remains unchanged.
“No, hurry up and eat.”
Tamaki looked back at the chocolate in the box. He stared and stared, as if trying to find a clue to the sender.
“I have never seen chocolate shaped like a fried egg.”
...In addition to being oval-shaped, there are also wings growing out of it.
“I've never seen it before.”
“...This must be the chocolate that someone teased me about.”
“What are you kidding? Your name is Tamaki. Giving them chocolate in the shape of a fried egg is okay.”
“My Tama comes from Haku in Kohaku Fei. Not the tama in medamayaki!”
(Tamaki's name is spelled with 珀 季, the letter 珀
tama
Comes from 琥珀
kohaku
Meaning amber, fried egg is 目玉焼き.
medamayaki 玉
The only one reads:
tama)
“Nice.”
Looking at his best friend's face, Tamaki was even more certain. The guy who plays pranks There was only one dead face around him.
“What about these wings?”
“Props that enhance cuteness.”
“What kind of crazy prop? Those wings clearly come from your name.”
(Towa's name is 登羽. The wa means wings. It is usually read as
hane)
Fujiwara Towa smiled, his eyes sparkling.
“I think a lot.”
“What are you thinking about? This is right!” Tamaki huffed as he picked up the chocolate and took a bite. As soon as his tongue picked up the familiar taste, he became even more enraged. “The taste is right, this is clearly the chocolate you made. How many years do you think we've been friends? Am I not going to remember the taste of the food you made?”
A popular young man, Fujiwara Towa, besides being good at school and an outstanding sport, everyone who sees him is fond of him. Still has the qualities of a butler. One of them is cooking. And Inaba Tamaki isn't the one testing out the new recipe.
The tall boy's eyes widened briefly before returning to normal.
“What is it, Tama-chan? To the point where you can remember the taste of my hand?”
“Yes!”
“So shy.”
“What the hell are you so embarrassed about, Towa?” Tamaki grunted, looking at the person who was acting shy. “What do you think about bringing me chocolate?”
"Don't you want chocolate?"
"want!"
“Here it is, what is there to complain about?”
The more he saw the other person's expressionless face, Tamaki almost shook his head.
“It's not.”
“It's nothing. Here's the chocolate you want. Or will you only receive it from girls? Are you being too smart?”
Tamaki looked at his best friend wide-eyed. I want to find words to scold. But he couldn't think of a single word.
“Mr.
"what"
"do not have anything!"
After being attacked alone, Tamaki sat in the corner of the bed, grumpy, all alone. In the mouth, chew the chocolate that is the cause.
Actually, it wasn't that he wanted chocolate from women that much. But if a girl gives you chocolate, it's like getting attention. Tamaki just wanted to experience being a popular guy with him. But the real pop boy doesn't understand.
The more he looked at his close friend, who was looking at him with soft eyes on the other side of the bed, the more Tamaki became annoyed. and violently chews chocolate in the mouth, assuming that he is chewing the other person
“This is Tama-chan.”
“I don't know, I won't tell.”
“What are you angry about?”
“I'm not angry.”
"I can see that he's angry."
"Heh"
“Aren't you that happy about getting chocolate from me?”
The other party's tone was so lonely that Tamaki had to look back. Towa's helpless expression made him feel uncomfortable and he had to put his pride aside.
“I'm not upset about getting chocolate from you. But I'm not happy that you pretended to make me think I got it from other girls.”
“You think about it yourself. Nowhere does it say that the women gave you this chocolate.”
“Are there only girls? That gives chocolate.”
The tall boy sighed, “Tama-chan, the culture where women give chocolate to men is just a ploy by the sweets company. The real purpose Today's thing is to commemorate Saint Valentine. And in other countries, there are only men who give flowers and gifts to women. It is only our country that places the burden on girls.”
"You're telling me I'm a girl!"
Tamaki got a lot of eye rolls.
Towa tapped his best friend's forehead before asking with an impatient expression on his face.
“You said so much, this is all you can think of?”
Tamaki brushed the other finger away and asked with a frown, "So what do you think?"
Fujiwara Towa was silent. There was a faint trace of fear in his eyes, “It's just…”
“Just?”
“I want you to remember that this is a festival of love. Sending gifts to each other is a representative of good feelings. It's not a measure of popularity. The reason I sent you the gift was because...”
Tamaki felt that Towa's face was strange now. But no matter how strange it is, I can't tell. It was like a child staring at a sweet treat through the window, wanting it, wanting it, wanting it, but not being able to get it.
"because?"
“Because I like you.”
Tamaki felt his heart skip a beat for a moment. before quickly brushing off that strange feeling.
“Um, I like you too. I like you the most.”
The tall young man was about to smile. But the corners of his mouth didn't lift before they fell when he heard the next sentence.
"Well, you're my best friend."
Towa froze, Tamaki looked at the person next to him in confusion. Whatever happens to him, he smiles and then looks sad.
"What's wrong"
Fujiwara Towa was silent for a while before opening his mouth. “Nothing. Is the chocolate delicious?”
“Delicious, what you made is already delicious.”
Tamaki lifted the chocolate and took a crunch. The sweet, gentle flavor spreads throughout the mouth. Not too sweet And not too bitter Towa has always been good at cooking. Except for the occasional small mistake, there was never such a mistake when Tamaki cooked food.
“Delicious is good.”
There was silence between the two for a while. Tamaki glanced at his best friend out of the corner of his eye as he munched loudly on the chocolate. Fujiwara's expression Towa seemed to be used up and silent. Then he thought of the other party's words.
“Because I like you.”
As those words came back into his head, Tamaki almost choked on the chocolate he was eating. Aside from chocolate, no one has ever openly said they like him. Aside from parents and siblings, it seems that only Towa used the word 'like' to him in a very wasteful way.
I like you
These are the words that Tamaki has heard from Towa since he was little until he grew up. Even though just now it seemed unusually serious. But it's still the same. It's a preference as a close friend. Even though this time it sounded a bit like a love confession.
Tamaki rubbed his ears and felt his face heat up a little.
In fact, even ordinary words Even when the young pop man spoke, he still listened and made the face feel so hot. Maybe if Towa went and talked to the girls. Those girls are probably dead.
Luckily I only spoke to him.
The large piece of chocolate was eaten and it didn't take long. Tamaki licked the bits of chocolate off his finger before looking up. Then his eyes met the eyes of the person who was looking.
"...what"
"do not have anything"
“Then why are you looking?”
“Looks delicious”
“Tell me too late, I ate it all.”
After this sentence was finished, no one said anything further. Until a tall young man opened his mouth first.
“This is Tamaki.”
"what"
“Next year, you can make me some chocolate.”
Tamaki looked at the other person with a stunned expression. "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Clearly, these words caused Towa Fujiwara to be a little shaken. The young man was speechless before speaking indirectly. “If I stood guard while you did it, it wouldn't be that bad.”
“Are you crazy? Does anyone stand and direct others to make chocolate for themselves?”
“This is me.”
Tamaki was speechless. My best friend's expression was too serious.
"Girls, I don't know how many pieces of chocolate you gave me. Why aren't they enough?"
“I want it from you.”
"Ha?"
“This year I give you Next year you have to repay me.”
"...Would you like me to vomit?"
"No, how can I give it back if I eat it? Tamaki, next year you have to make me chocolate."
Tamaki looked at his best friend's expression of determination and fervor and sulked. No matter how much I want to protest, I know that's all I'm saying. He didn't know what the hell was going on with Towa. But since he wants to do it like that, he has to agree to do it.
"Oh, if you die, don't blame me."
"You can die, at least before you die..."
The next sentence was so soft that Tamaki couldn't hear it. The young man listened intently for a long time but couldn't understand what the other person was saying.
"what"
"do not have anything"
Fujiwara Towa smiled.
Nothing, it's just that at least before I die I want to feel that I've received some love back. That's it.
Drunk with Khun Kyo
It's a short story for Valentine's Day that until White Day, it still hasn't come to the end. Haha. Let's just say it's finished. When writing, I secretly thought that it would be a really long story. A love story of a teenage boy, but the story of this age group is known only through cartoons. So I thought it was better to do it first. Let's go finish the old story first. There's nothing to say. Let's just say that someday I might make it a long story.
チョコの味 smells of chocolate
Tamaki's dream of receiving chocolates for Valentine's Day came true at the age of seventeen. Only, the person giving the push wasn't the little girl I had dreamed of...

Sometimes suffixes such as sang jung kung sang klai are added to the word 'khun'. Jang is often used with female names. Normally used for boys.
example
Fujiwara Towa
Fujiwara - last name
Towa - name
How to address Fujiwara-san, Fujiwara, Towa-kun, Fujiwara-kun depends on how close the speaker is to the listener.
Who initiated the idea of giving chocolates on Valentine's Day?
He really wanted to knock it upside down.
He, Inaba Tamaki, is seventeen this year. Single for as long as I am And no one has ever given chocolate on Valentine's Day for that many years.
The boy sat with his chin on his back as he glanced at the popular boy in his class, Fujiwara Towa, out of the corner of his eye. There were also girls on the other side. Surrounded as usual
I saw the intricately wrapped chocolates in the hands of the girls. Those young men became even more sullen.
A pop boy is still a pop boy. Even though he never accepted any of those chocolates. But every year there are still young girls who want to come and try out the products. And this year is no exception.
Only Fujiwara Towa still sets his sights on breaking the record of breaking girls' hearts. For another year
The class bell rang and the girls finally left. At the same time, the cause of the chaos returned to sit at the table.
“Why don't you get some? They are pitiful and will die. You can make me mean every year.” Tamaki turned to look at the person who walked to sit at the study desk to his right.
“Give hope even though you have no heart. That is cruel.”
“Such a pop boy's words,” Tamaki rolled his eyes. “You could at least give it to me to eat.”
His gentle face froze for a moment. Before Towa could smile
“Tama-chan.”
"what"
This time Tamaki's response was curt. When he was about to complain that the other party called him by a childish nickname, Towa continued speaking with a fake smile on his face.
“Don't be so greedy.”
The young boy's eyes widened. Prepared to scold back But the sound of the door opening rang out as a middle-aged man wearing glasses with an erudite appearance walked in. Tamaki swallowed the curse back in his throat. before turning to glare at the other person. and opened his mouth and frowned
"I'll see you in an hour."
Lunch arrives and the escape of the girls begins. Fujiwara Towa is the culprit, but the person in trouble is Inaba Tamaki.
The young boy looked up at the tall man who was dragging him around like he was carrying a doll. Then he slammed the palm that was holding his shoulder hard.
“This year I was unlucky with you again,” Tamaki muttered, if it weren't for the fact that someone was trying to give Towa too much chocolate. Would they have to run around and find a place to hide like this? “Even though there really isn't one for me.”
“Nice, Tama-chan.”
“I didn't even account with you this morning. Stop calling me that name. This year I'm seventeen. Seventeen, not seven!”
Towa smiled before correcting the call, "Alright Tamaki."
Tamaki rolled his eyes, they had been friends for so long that he knew the other was only temporarily changing to calling him that. Then he would come back and call him that childish name again when he wanted to tease him. or are irritated
“So where are you going to hide this time?”
"I don't know. I keep changing places."
“Stop studying from the beginning and it's over.”
“No, you'll ruin the name of all my students.” Towa leaned back against the maple tree that only had branches left. “Besides, even if I don't come. They're going to leave the chocolate with you anyway, right? You're a soft-hearted man.”
Tamaki didn't argue. that he had to go on a fateful adventure with Towa Because of the girls I know that the two of them are close. Again, Tamaki is still soft-hearted. Accept gifts Easier than the real goal
"So what? I can't let you go out and face the cold weather all lunch break like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man sneezed once, the tip of his nose turning white and light red.
Towa didn't say anything. Then he raised one hand and pulled his best friend into his arms. And Tamaki buried his cold face into the other's shoulder.
The whole action happened so naturally, it was as if the two of them had done it hundreds, if not thousands, of times.
A muffled voice sounded softly.
“Why is it that only you get chocolate?”
Towa didn't reply. He wrapped his arms around his best friend and walked back into the building.
The muffled voice sounded again.
“Then why don't you accept it from anyone for a year?”
“..." The tall youth looked outside. A complicated look appeared in his eyes for a moment. “I told you, receiving it even though you didn't feel anything was cruel.”
“Besides, those who want it never give it.”
The last sentence was so soft that Tamaki couldn't understand it. The boy looked up at his best friend and frowned slightly.
“What did you say just now?”
"nothing"
“What about you? Do you really want to have a boyfriend?”
“Huh?” The young man felt that the other person was acting strangely. But I don't know how strange it is.
“I see you really want chocolate,” Towa said, reaching into his jacket. “Every year you say you really want a boyfriend?”
I don't know why Tamaki felt lonely in Towa's voice.
“Not really, but getting chocolate from a girl is every boy's dream.”
“It's not me.”
“Yes, Pop Dad.”
Tamaki rolled his eyes with a stunned expression. People who get things easily How can I understand someone who has never had it?
“For me, receiving chocolate from thousands of people is a blessing. It's not the same as getting it from just one person you like.”
“So you already have that person?” Tamaki looked into the other person's eyes. And Towa looked back. Two pairs of eyes meet One couple flashed a dazed expression. The other couple showed signs of weakness.
"did not answer?"
"Heh, I thought you just said it in a cool way."
For a moment, Tamaki was secretly relieved. He was a little afraid that his childhood friend would run off and get a girlfriend first. But when he saw Towa looking back, his face remained calm. The young man was sure that there was no secret crush on the other party.
Well, they were stuck together for almost twenty-four hours.
“Tama-chan.”
Tamaki frowned as soon as he heard his name called, "What else?"
"stupid"
"Suebue"
“Hey hey.”
Tamaki didn't even have time to protest. His head was rocked back and forth.
“People who fall in love with Tama-chan are really pathetic.”
Tamaki rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time that day.
“The person who fell in love with you is pitiful.”
Towa laughed softly.
“They didn't fall in love with me. They fell in love with my face.”
“Towa, you are so annoying.”
Towa smiled.
"thank you for watching"
Winter gets dark earlier than usual. After finishing the evening class Both of them finally freed themselves from the girls. Favorite challenge Tamaki put his things in his backpack and turned to his best friend.
“Hurry back before your beloved ones come.”
Towa frowned, “Dearest, what? I don't like any of those women.”
“So the fan club?”
“There's no need to find definitions for you guys. Hurry back.”
"um"
Tamaki stood up, but when he started walking he was stopped by Towa.
"what"
“Did you take everything home?”
“It's complete.”
"sure?"
“Sure, what will it be?” Even though his mouth said that But the young man still crawled under the cage. Then his fingertips stumbled upon a box about the size of the palm of his hand. “Huh?”
"what"
“I don't know what's inside.”
“Take it out and have a look.”
For a moment, Tamaki felt like a close friend who seemed strangely devious. But he didn't have time to pay attention as he took out the mysterious object and looked at it.
A delicately wrapped light blue gift box stood out against a white palm. The moment he saw what was on Tamaki's palm, it felt like a dream. His white cheeks brightened before he stammered.
"this..."
“What?” The tall young man frowned.
"chocolate?"
“A lump of curry?” Towa rolled his eyes and pulled his best friend by the arm and walked out of the classroom. “Hurry up and go. I can't go home now.”
In the blink of an eye, Tamaki arrived home. The young boy blinked. When I turned, I saw my best friend sitting on the side.
“Can you please slap me?”
Towa didn't reply. After a moment Tamaki moaned.
“Why did you hit my cheek?”
"Well, you told me to hit you."
“I really didn't want to do it.”
“That's really a big deal,” Towa made a tickling noise in his throat. “What you got is just a box of chocolates.”
Tamaki's face turned red when he heard the word chocolate. Just now, if Towa hadn't brought him home. Perhaps right now the young man wasn't sure where he stood.
“What are you going to understand?”
“Um, I don't understand, it's just a box of chocolates. Got it from someone, I don't know. What are you so happy about?”
"...Let's stop being friends, Towa."
The tall boy pursed his lips, “Alright, I, this fool, doesn't understand anything. Please explain.”
Tamaki smiled with satisfaction on his face.
“One, it was the first box of chocolates I received. It wasn't the girls who gave it to you.”
Finishing this sentence, Tamaki gave the troublemaker a slashing look.
“Two, secretly bringing it like this must definitely not be polite chocolate.”
Let's just say he never got chocolate as a courtesy. Because he had a presence that was like a scorching fire that attracted insects to his side.
(Mainly, there are chocolates that are given to people who really like them. With chocolate that is given according to the etiquette that women give to men so that they don't feel lonely because no one gives them chocolate)
"So what? You're going to date the guy who brought you chocolate?"
“That requires looking at who the giver is.”
Towa's expression changed in the blink of an eye, mixed with confusion, nervousness, and a little bit of happiness. before the young man's face returned to normal
"You...don't you get along with people easily?"
“Before you love someone, there must be a learning period, right? It's not like dating today and getting married tomorrow. If you like it, become a lover. If you don't like it, you won't be a fan. It's easy and you'll die."
Tamaki raised his head in a boastful manner. Even though in my heart I knew that I was just talking like that. To be honest, until now the young man still didn't understand the feelings of love and affection for each other. He felt that the star was very beautiful. This idol is cute. End of admiration
Sarcastic lips directed at close friends like that. If he had girls Surrounding each other like that is not acceptable. In truth, Tamaki just wanted to experience the feeling of being the center of attention and receiving lots of gifts.
“Did you ever think that the giver might be a man?”
Tamaki froze, “Are you saying that someone wants to tease me?”
“How do you understand the issue?”
“If a man brings you chocolate, doesn't that mean he's deliberately teasing you?”
Tamaki turned to look at his best friend with an expression on his face. On the other hand, Towa's face dropped.
“Why, are you saying that one man purposely giving chocolate to another man isn't bullying?”
“Then why does a man giving chocolate to the person he likes have to be bullying?!”
The tone was a little angry. It made Tamaki flinch.
"Ha?"
“You said a guy liked me?”
Towa froze before quickly covering up his expression.
“What are you saying? I'm just saying that if someone gives you chocolate, it's a man. What are you going to do?”
“I will record it.”
"Why"
“You're deliberately teasing each other. That guy must have seen that I really wanted chocolate from the girls so he secretly gave it to me. When I'm done being happy, he reveals himself and laughs.”
Towa sighed, his expression clearly not understanding this friend's thoughts.
"I told you, he probably didn't want to tease me."
“If he didn't want to tease me, why would he bring me chocolate?”
“..." Towa glanced at the person beside him and stammered. "If he likes you..."
This time Tamaki was silent. His face was like a student preparing for an exam who had stuffed too much study material into his brain.
“If a guy likes me?”
“Yes, what are you going to do?”
“Me?” Tamaki seemed to be thinking deeply. In seventeen years, no one had ever confessed their love to him. Don't just talk about women. I don't even have a dog. Would it be a bit too hardcore to suddenly jump on a man? "It's me."
“Yes, that's you.”
“Is that possible? The person who should eat both men and women is you.”
Towa blinked. before pointing at himself, “Me, what am I like in your eyes?”
“Mr. Handsome”
“Don't argue.”
Tamaki pursed his lips, "Please argue."
“Continue talking.”
I don't know why. The other party smiled brightly. Tamaki frowned slightly. I feel like I want to pinch my best friend's forehead.
“You are a good student.”
“That's true.”
It's not worth admiring.
Tamaki rolled his eyes inwardly and patiently continued without pushing his tall friend off the bed.
"Tall Mr."
“Mr. Good Body”
“Mr. Nice personality.”
“You are very kind.”
Tamaki quickly spoke together. Prevent Towa from interrupting. But even the other party will not interrupt. He was smiling until his mouth was touching his ears.
“In conclusion, you are a model man. If someone were to choose a lover Between you and me, he has to choose you.”
“That's not certain.”
“If that person is blind, maybe yes. I can't see your face and I won't be hit in the face by your handsome aura.”
Towa laughed, reaching out to caress Tui's head. of close friends
“You don't understand. Each person has their own specs. In my eyes, you are the best.”
Tamaki pursed his lips and held back a smile. Because I'm always stuck with Towa. Even if it looks better than this Study better than this. Others couldn't see him anyway.
Because of Fujiwara Towa is too outstanding.
But even then Tamaki was never disappointed. He was also extremely proud of this friend.
“In my eyes, you're the best too,” Tamaki lightly poked his tall friend with his elbow. “Ah, but less than my parents.”
“Can't you just let me have sweet dreams a little longer?”
"What kind of sweet dreams are you going to have, young man Pop? He's good at school, an outstanding sport, and is so popular. Why are you dreaming sweet dreams because of my praise?"
“It's not the same.”
“What is different?”
“Your compliments and other people's compliments.”
“Awesome”
“Tell the truth.”
For a moment Tamaki felt strange. Even though the other party may want to tease you. But he was a little happy. Not like everyone else means special, right? To be accepted by a popular guy would be so satisfying.
And in order not to hurt his face, the young man looked away.
“Is it because other people praise you on the outside and not on the inside?”
“No, because the person watching is you.”
“What is that?” The young man looked away and laughed. “So what should I do with this one?”
Tamaki picked up the blue gift box and looked at it and smiled stupidly. No matter how taunted by close friends He couldn't deny that this gift made him smile without stopping.
Towa rolled his eyes, "Maybe it's chocolate."
The cheerful expression instantly changed. The strange feeling in Tamaki's heart disappeared along with the teasing expression on the other person's face.
“Are you jealous of me?”
Tamaki then received a disgusted look from Fujiwara Towa again, "What do you think? Sigh, I'm still tired today. I almost died avoiding girls."
Tamaki looked at the man who had smashed his own limbs with an exaggerated expression and became upset. "Can't you just let me hold you back a little?"
"no"
“But actually, I'm jealous of you too.”
“Are you saying that you're jealous of being able to live a peaceful life?”
"No, I'm jealous that you're dishonest."
Tamaki scowled. One hand reached out and pinched the skin on the side of his best friend's waist. "Yes, young man Pop, who would go to school to do well in sports and be ganged up on by girls like you?"
“Oh, that's enough, you person who likes to use violence. Go ahead and eat some chocolate.”
At first, Tamaki intended to unwrap the present. Then it was like something flashed in. “Who said it might not be chocolate?”
The other party still kept a straight face, but in Tamaki's eyes, it was extremely suspicious.
"Whatever you look at, guess what? Guess. Do you understand?"
“Oh?”
"um"
“Suspicious”
The young boy frowned. Trying to find clues on the face of a close friend But before he could detect any doubts, Towa pushed the young man's face away and hurried.
“Hurry up and unpack.”
“Yes.”
Tamaki's concentration returned to the gift box in his hand. Even his heart beat faster than usual. He slowly unwrapped the light blue paper. And when he opened the cardboard box, he found a large piece of star-shaped chocolate with wings.
Tamaki glanced at the person next to him. Try to find the suspicious look on your close friend's face. The chocolate in the box looked too weird. And he had never seen a store that sold chocolate that looked like this. So it must be handmade chocolate.
Even though handmade chocolate is very special and shows the intention of the giver more than bought chocolate. But when he saw this chocolate, Tamaki felt strangely annoyed.
“Do you think his face is strange?”
Fujiwara's expression Towa remains unchanged.
“No, hurry up and eat.”
Tamaki looked back at the chocolate in the box. He stared and stared, as if trying to find a clue to the sender.
“I have never seen chocolate shaped like a fried egg.”
...In addition to being oval-shaped, there are also wings growing out of it.
“I've never seen it before.”
“...This must be the chocolate that someone teased me about.”
“What are you kidding? Your name is Tamaki. Giving them chocolate in the shape of a fried egg is okay.”
“My Tama comes from Haku in Kohaku Fei. Not the tama in medamayaki!”
(Tamaki's name is spelled with 珀 季, the letter 珀
tama
Comes from 琥珀
kohaku
Meaning amber, fried egg is 目玉焼き.
medamayaki 玉
The only one reads:
tama)
“Nice.”
Looking at his best friend's face, Tamaki was even more certain. The guy who plays pranks There was only one dead face around him.
“What about these wings?”
“Props that enhance cuteness.”
“What kind of crazy prop? Those wings clearly come from your name.”
(Towa's name is 登羽. The wa means wings. It is usually read as
hane)
Fujiwara Towa smiled, his eyes sparkling.
“I think a lot.”
"What are you thinking? This is right," Tamaki huffed, lifting the chocolate and taking a bite. As soon as his tongue picked up the familiar taste, he became even more enraged. “The taste is right, this is clearly the chocolate you made. How many years do you think we've been friends? Am I not going to remember the taste of the food you made?”
A popular young man, Fujiwara Towa, besides being good at school and an outstanding sport, everyone who sees him is fond of him. Still has the qualities of a butler. One of them is cooking. And Inaba Tamaki isn't the one testing out the new recipe.
The tall boy's eyes widened briefly before returning to normal.
“What is it, Tama-chan? To the point where you can remember the taste of my hand?”
“Yes!”
“So shy.”
“What the hell are you so embarrassed about, Towa?” Tamaki grunted, looking at the person who was acting shy. “What do you think about bringing me chocolate?”
"Don't you want chocolate?"
"want!"
“Here it is, what is there to complain about?”
The more he saw the other person's expressionless face, Tamaki almost shook his head.
“It's not.”
“It's nothing. Here's the chocolate you want. Or will you only accept it from girls? Are you being too smart?”
Tamaki looked at his best friend wide-eyed. I want to find words to scold. But he couldn't think of a single word.
“Mr.
"what"
"do not have anything!"
After being attacked alone, Tamaki sat in the corner of the bed, grumpy, all alone. In the mouth, chew the chocolate that is the cause.
Actually, it wasn't that he wanted chocolate from women that much. But if a girl gives you chocolate, it's like getting attention. Tamaki just wanted to experience being a popular guy with him. But the real pop boy doesn't understand.
The more he looked at his close friend, who was looking at him with soft eyes on the other side of the bed, the more Tamaki became annoyed. and violently chews chocolate in the mouth, assuming that he is chewing the other person
“This is Tama-chan.”
“I don't know, I won't tell.”
“What are you angry about?”
“I'm not angry.”
"I can see that he's angry."
"Heh"
“Aren't you that happy about getting chocolate from me?”
The other party's tone was so lonely that Tamaki had to look back. Towa's helpless expression made him feel uncomfortable and he had to put his pride aside.
“I'm not upset about getting chocolate from you. But I'm not happy that you pretended to make me think I got it from other girls.”
“You think about it yourself. Nowhere does it say that the women gave you this chocolate.”
“Are there only girls? That gives chocolate.”
The tall boy sighed, “Tama-chan, the culture where women give chocolate to men is just a ploy by the sweets company. The real purpose Today's thing is to commemorate Saint Valentine. And in other countries, there are only men who give flowers and gifts to women. It is only our country that places the burden on girls.”
"You're telling me I'm a girl!"
Tamaki got a lot of eye rolls.
Towa tapped his best friend's forehead before asking with an impatient expression on his face.
“You said so much, this is all you can think of?”
Tamaki brushed the other finger away and asked with a frown, "So what do you think?"
Fujiwara Towa was silent. There was a faint trace of fear in his eyes, “It's just…”
“Just?”
“I want you to remember that this is a festival of love. Sending gifts to each other is a representative of good feelings. It's not a measure of popularity. The reason I sent you the gift was because...”
Tamaki felt that Towa's face was strange now. But no matter how strange it is, I can't tell. It was like a child staring at a sweet treat through the window, wanting it, wanting it, wanting it, but not being able to get it.
"because?"
“Because I like you.”
Tamaki felt his heart skip a beat for a moment. before quickly brushing off that strange feeling.
“Um, I like you too. I like you the most.”
The tall young man was about to smile. But the corners of his mouth didn't lift before they fell when he heard the next sentence.
"Well, you're my best friend."
Towa froze, Tamaki looked at the person next to him in confusion. Whatever happens to him, he smiles and then looks sad.
"What's wrong"
Fujiwara Towa was silent for a while before opening his mouth. “Nothing. Is the chocolate delicious?”
“Delicious, what you made is already delicious.”
Tamaki lifted the chocolate and took a crunch. The sweet, gentle flavor spreads throughout the mouth. Not too sweet and sharp And not too bitter Towa has always been good at cooking. Except for the occasional small mistake, there was never such a mistake when Tamaki cooked food.
“Delicious is good.”
There was silence between the two for a while. Tamaki glanced at his best friend out of the corner of his eye as he munched loudly on the chocolate. Fujiwara's expression Towa seemed to be used up and silent. Then he thought of the other party's words.
“Because I like you.”
As those words came back into his head, Tamaki almost choked on the chocolate he was eating. Aside from chocolate, no one has ever openly said they like him. Aside from parents and siblings, it seems that only Towa used the word 'like' to him in a very wasteful way.
I like you
These are the words that Tamaki has heard from Towa since he was little until he grew up. Even though just now it seemed unusually serious. But it's still the same. It's a preference as a close friend. Even though this time it sounded a bit like a love confession.
Tamaki rubbed his ears and felt his face heat up a little.
In fact, even ordinary words Even when the young pop man spoke, he still listened and made the face feel so hot. Maybe if Towa went and talked to the girls. Those girls are probably dead.
Luckily I only spoke to him.
It didn't take long for the large piece of chocolate to be eaten. Tamaki licked the bits of chocolate off his finger before looking up. Then his eyes met the eyes of the person who was looking.
"...what"
"do not have anything"
“Then why are you looking?”
“Looks delicious”
“Tell me too late, I ate it all.”
After this sentence was finished, no one said anything further. Until a tall young man opened his mouth first.
“This is Tamaki.”
"what"
“Next year, you can make me some chocolate.”
Tamaki looked at the other person with a stunned expression. "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Clearly, these words caused Towa Fujiwara to be a little shaken. The young man was speechless before speaking indirectly. “If I stood guard while you did it, it wouldn't be that bad.”
“Are you crazy? Does anyone stand and direct others to make chocolate for themselves?”
“This is me.”
Tamaki was speechless. My best friend's expression was too serious.
"Girls, I don't know how many pieces of chocolate you gave me. Why aren't they enough?"
“I want it from you.”
"Ha?"
“This year I give you Next year you have to repay me.”
"...Would you like me to vomit?"
"No, how can I give it back if I eat it? Tamaki, next year you have to make me chocolate."
Tamaki looked at his best friend's expression of determination and fervor and sulked. No matter how much I want to protest, I know that's all I'm saying. He didn't know what the hell was going on with Towa. But since he wants to do it like that, he has to agree to do it.
"Oh, if you die, don't blame me."
"You can die, at least before you die..."
The next sentence was so soft that Tamaki couldn't hear it. The young man listened intently for a long time but couldn't understand what the other person was saying.
"what"
"do not have anything"
Fujiwara Towa smiled.
Nothing, it's just that at least before I die I want to feel that I have received some love back. That's it.
Drunk with Khun Kyo
It's a short story for Valentine's Day that until White Day, it still hasn't come to the end. Haha. Let's just say it's finished. When writing, I secretly thought that it would be a really long story. A love story of a teenage boy, but the story of this age group is known only through cartoons. So I thought it was better to do it first. Let's go finish the old story first. There's nothing to say. Let's just say that someday I might make it a long story.
