"Sors avec moi."

Valentinian Mindaro clamped down on his urge to curse out loud, his brain having managed to work faster than his mouth for the first time in his fifteen years of life. Except he'd have really liked for it to have done its fucking job ten seconds earlier, because it got its ass into gear too late to stop him from shitting the bed. His chest was throbbing in shame, and he could feel all the blood rushing up into his head from the embarrassment. His hands were clammy with sweat, but he fought back against the urge to wring his own goddamned neck with them. He was seriously already à chier. No way was he gonna be some retarded diarrhoea-ridden dog too.

This was supposed to be his fucking moment. But instead of doing it properly like on TV or whatever the guys said was the right way, he'd done his usual asshole schtick. Godfuckingdamnit. Il ne sait rien faire de ses dix doigts. Three weeks of hand-wringing and he'd trashed it like he'd coat-hanger'd a baby.

He tried not to look at those pretty green eyes of hers. There was zero chance of salvaging this shit. The only thing on his mind was just all that shame and loathing filling him up. Hah, fucking Valentinian Mindaro finally getting his face shoved into the dirt because he screwed up with a girl. With his best friend. That was a riot and a half.

Except ... she wasn't saying anything.

Valentinian coughed into a pale fist. Fuck. Why wasn't she saying anything? This was getting really fucking awkward for him, okay? He didn't know how to do this shit. Was this supposed to happen? Shit, did she not wanna talk to him or something? Maybe it'd be better if she didn't? He had zero fucking idea on what to do. Look at her? Look away from her? Run away like some pussy bitch with their tail between their legs? The atmosphere of awkward ... c'est des conneries.

"Just fucking say it," he blurted out. His face was burning red. He couldn't handle it. If he'd completely screwed it, then fuck it, there wasn't any way out. That feeling of black despair twisting around his heart - he just wanted it fucking gone. "Severa, just fucking ... refuse or something. I dunno don't just stand around and ..."

He trailed off. God, he wished he could time travel and coat hanger himself right now. It was like his brain had been replaced by some drowned retard's. A drowned retard who was in the middle of screwing over his oldest friend just because the other guys told him to ask her out. And instead of thinking it through, he'd straight up just confronted her in the middle of a hallway. In front of so many fucking other students. Shaming both of them with his disgusting failure of a confession.

"Ah, um -"

Severa's face was red too, and she was trying to look anywhere but at him. In this case, she was looking down at her textbooks. Valentinian couldn't blame her for that. He didn't wanna look at himself either. Or at the whispering crowds. Once again, he was reminded that he'd really fucked it all up. There was no other way to explain why she had steam coming out of her ears like that.

Valentinian held a palm to his forehead, a frustrated hiss leaving his mouth. "Goddamnit, fuck. I'm sor-"

"I'm sorry!"

Severa's eyes were squeezed shut. His stomach fell even more. Here it was. Failure time inbound.

"But you have to buy me chocolate first!"

... What?

It started three weeks ago.

Hanging out on the rooftop had become a favourite past time of Valentinian and his pals, mostly because the view was pretty fucking sweet. As much as it reminded them of how shitty they were compared to those Sanctum kids up on that floating mountain, it was hard to deny that floating mountains were still cool as shit. And the rooftop gave them a perfect look of that floating campus. He wasn't exactly an artist or anything, but it was like some Claude Monet shit right there, and they didn't even need to sneak into a museum to see it.

Sure, school rules said they weren't allowed on the rooftop either, but none of les profs actually gave a single shit. Who would, anyway? It wasn't like them tripping over the side and splattering against the concrete like a pancake was gonna change much.

"You should avoid splattering against the concrete like a pancake."

Valentinian didn't need to look up to know who'd just approached. Even if he was hanging upside down off the edge of the rooftop, he could tell if his best friend was nearby from miles away. He heard her voice everyday, for one, and besides that, she ate the exact same brand of cheap chocolate every single day. That sweet scent was instantly recognisable. Her arteries or whatever were going to burst if she kept doing that. Or she'd get diabetes. Or turn into a fatty monster. Either way, she really needed to cut back on it. It'd be a shame if a cute girl like her got done in by chocolate of all fucking things.

"Humans aren't pancakes," he replied, swinging up. His pal sitting next to him (Gazon) grabbed him and pulled him the last few inches so he was properly sitting upright. Severa was standing in front of them, lips quirked up in a mild smile. "So stop thinking you'd get to eat my corpse or something. That's fucking gross."

"Maybe if you accepted more of my sweets you could approach edibility, Val," sniffed Severa, crossing her arms. "You reject my generosity all the time."

Getting all sugar'd up wasn't gonna make him taste sweet anyway. Funarius'd actually went to the effort of testing that (was that what scientists were supposed to fucking do? Perform weirdass experiments for no reason?), and that guy didn't get stuff wrong much. Besides, there was no way he was accepting Severa's sweets anyway. Not when she always looked like a kicked puppy whenever she was handing over any part of her precious candy stock.

"Be more honest with yourself first," he snorted. "Every time you're trying to force feed me your choco it looks like you're gonna cry."

Severa seemed mildly offended. "My, I certainly wouldn't cry!" she declared, stepping forth to gently prod him in the chest. "I'll show you that I can give out all my choco with nary a tear!"

Valentinian's steely gaze was bland. "You sure?"

"Of course. Here, Gazon, you can take this bar."

His pal caught the chocolate wordlessly, giving a thumbs up in return. Severa's expression didn't seem to change at all.

Or at least, she was keeping it in well.

"Give it all to Gaz and we'll talk."

"I'm not giving all of my chocolate to Gazon, that's unhealthy for him."

Hypocrite - the word that Valentinian knew was going through the minds of every single boy currently monopolising the edge of the rooftop.

"Then divvy it up with everybody else. You'll be in tears for sure."

Severa hesitated for a second, before her expression became firm. She nodded, as if reassuring herself, and immediately placed down her plastic bag in front of them. "Here then, this is my generosity! All of you are allowed to take as much as you want!"

Valentinian's friends all went straight for the bag. He, on the other hand, didn't. Instead, he was watching her face, noting the twitching of her facial muscles every time another portion of her hard-earned cache of candy was taken by the mates. She was seriously stubborn about this, wasn't she? Man, the gal really needed to be more fucking honest.

"You're a real top dame, lady."

"Fuckin' A."

"Sweet."

Sounds of approval rose from his group of friends. Severa was still trying her best not to react.

"See?" she said once all the sweets had been consumed. "I didn't cry! I'm not so greedy that I can't give away all my sweets!"

It sounded pretty legit, but Valentinian was sure that it would've been more believable if she wasn't trying to awkwardly shift her face away from view.

"Anyway -" Her back was already facing them. "I just came by to remind you to come to class in the afternoon. You can bask in the glorious taste of the choco."

She was already shuffling away.

"She's finding a place to cry," said Valentinian once she disappeared from view.

"Don't be so harsh on cute girls, man," Gazon said. "You ain't gonna catch her like that."

"Thought she's already sa copine?" asked one of the others. "You two sure act like it."

"Nah they're not a thing," corrected another. "Lucky for us, cuz we got a chance too."

"That's sure not very comradely."

"Hey, just sayin'. You'd think Val'd gone for it already, right? If he hasn't, then it's fine if we try."

"It's not that important" said Valentinian dismissively, feeling very confused by his friend's conversation.

There was a moment of silence.

"Man, you're a dense motherfucker."

"You two are like, already dating man."

"Go seal the deal quick else you're outta time."

"That's right," said Gazon with a nod, placing a rough hand on Valentinian's shoulder. "I dunno if you've noticed, but people already think you're tight. But if you're not ..."

He trailed off for emphasis.

"... look, just go for it man. You pretty obviously dig her, you just haven't realised."

Valentinian brushed his friend away. "I get it, I get it," he replied, slightly irritated. "Look, it's fine. Severa and me are great amis. You don't need to worry about it."

Sure, Severa was a pretty girl, but they were best mates. That was fine. She had a really cute smile, great personality, and he enjoyed hanging out with her whenever. Even if she as super stubborn a lot of the fucking time. It was really easy to tease her like that, too. That was all he needed. There wasn't really anything else to it. No need to get closer.

No need.

Definitely no need.

"Let's go hit up class. Don't wanna make her worry."

But the thought seriously just wasn't leaving his fucking mind.

"Le chocolat," she repeated, her face flushed with red. "Tu achètes. Pour moi. Oui?"

Her tone was equally as embarrassed as his. Valentinian awkwardly looked down. She ... wasn't rejecting him? That was right, right? He hadn't fucked up. The whispers around them had grown louder. He had no fucking clue what to do in this situation. It wasn't like he had any experience before or anything? What the fuck was he supposed to do?

And why buy her chocolate?

What the hell was that supposed to mean?

"You were responsible for me giving away all my choco," she repeated firmly, looking at the ground. "So you have to buy me more. We'll go out to the supermarket. Okay? That's where the date is. You're buying me choco first."

Oh.

Valentinian could feel the relief bubbling up from within. That was what she meant? She was still annoyed by having to give away all her sweets? He couldn't fucking help it. He just had to laugh. The sonorous chuckling that immediately quietened so many of the bystanders. Man, she was so fucking stubborn about her chocolate, wasn't she?

But, this was fine.

He liked that part of her anyway.

"Fine fine," he said. His grin had widened immensely, but he couldn't be fucked caring about it. It didn't matter. "We'll get you your fucking choco."

Seeing that bright, cute smile of hers made everything else worth it.
