Pocky Day"Aruji, what is it that you eat”

“Mm Ah… Hime-san, good afternoon.” Fuji smiled. “This is pocky, a kind of chocolate snack… Do you want some”

"Mmm, No…” he grunted. “More importantly, I need your help.”

“What is it” Fuji asked worriedly.

“It’s about the mission… I will explain…”

Then they spent several minutes discussing the problem for the mission. The pocky was left on the floor, forgotten.

“So that’s my plan. Do you think it’s okay, Himetsuru-san”

“I think that’s good enough, Aruji. I will tell the other later.”

“Thank you, Hime-san. I will be counting on you then.” she smiled.

“I will stay here for a bit until it’s time to go. You don’t mind, right”

“Please. Feel free. And tell me if you had anything else you had in mind; I would help you if I could.” Fuji said it genuinely.

“Then…”

“Then”

Himetsuru didn’t continue his words. Instead, he took one of the pocky sticks that was left forgotten on the floor and popped one into Fuji’s mouth. Fuji started to chew slowly. She was confused, but she waited patiently.

“Does it taste good” Himetsuru asked. Fuji nodded, and Himetsuru fed her another stick.

Now he was smiling; he liked taking care of Fuji like this; even just the mere act of feeding her snack made him feel closer to her. After all, he was the only one staying beside her right now. He was the one closest to her, and all of her attention was focused on him.

“Do you not want to try” Fuji asked again. “You keep feeding me, we can eat something else you want too, you know…”

Himetsuru shook his head. “I just like feeding you.”

She smiled, and her face started to turn pink. After all, no matter how many times Himetsuru acted like this, it always made her bashful.

“But you know… I will try one if you really want it…” He suddenly said after feeding her another pocky.

“Oh sure You can take one” Fuji said, happy that he finally took her offer.

But instead of eating a new pocky from the box, Himetsuru leaned down and ate the one he just fed to Fuji. Now they shared the same stick of pocky, and Fuji was frozen on his track, her mind unable to find anything for her body to respond.

Himetsuru kept going, taking small bites from that pocky while keeping eye contact between them. Their faces were now so close that they could feel each other’s warm breath. Surely… Himetsuru would stop, right

Except he didn’t. Instead, he grabbed the back of her head and pushed their lips together in a slow, soft kiss. Their lips tasted sweet, just like the pocky they just shared. Fuji couldn’t help but sighed into the kiss, feeling her heart fluttered while the other guy was licking her lips sensually.
But the kiss ended just before it could escalate into something more. And Fuji was left with a tingling sensation on her lips.

“Aruji, if I did well on this mission, would you share another pocky with me” He said it while smirking and wiping his lips with his thumb.

What choice does Fuji have except to nod to that question
