It was Valentine's Day.

As a school tradition, each student was required (Francis likes this rule) to give chocolates to someone they like. Alfred received some from Arthur. Francis got tons from different people. Ludwig gave some to Feliciano, who was very happy in receiving them. Lovino, on the other hand, claimed that he made some chocolates last night for Emma, but had some extras. So he gave the extras to Antonio, who was delighted.

Kiku made chocolates, all right. He just didn't know who to give them to.

Kiku walked from classroom to classroom, thinking of who to give the chocolates to. Well, he already had half a mind to give them to Meimei, but his heart stubbornly refused.

Passing by the classroom of a friend older than him, he peeked inside and realized that there were only a few people inside. Some were eating chocolates, while the rest of the students left the classroom to give chocolates to the people they fancied.

Surely, at the far back end of the room beside the window, he saw a man with somewhat long black hair, and a cat on his head. He was snoozing peacefully despite the noise.

Kiku entered the classroom cautiously and caught sight of Ludwig. Kiku waved at him sheepishly and Ludwig gave him a thumbs-up. Kiku continued walking towards the sleeping guy's table and tapped him awake. Or rather, the cat meowed loudly, so the sleeping man woke up.

"Oh...why hello there, Kiku..." he said sleepily.

Kiku bowed his head. "Konnichiwa, Hercures-san," he said.

Hercules looked at him and saw the chocolates in his hand. "Who are those for?"

Kiku's face reddened and he quickly hid it behind his back.

"Are those...for me?" Hercules said curiously.

Kiku turned tomato red and held out the chocolates to Hercules, who took them and smiled. "Thank you," he said. His cat purred in agreement.

"You're wercome," Kiku replied.

"Hey, you two should kiss!" Francis (how did he even get there?!), who was sitting on one of the seats said. Apparently, matters of love summoned him anywhere abnormally. He's got some mysterious yet interesting abilities right there.

"So...should we?" Kiku asked for Hercules's permission.

Hercules nodded sleepily. "Well...if you want to."

Kiku held Hercules's hands, went on tip-toe, and kissed Hercules's cheek. Everyone in the classroom (including Ludwig) gasped as if Kiku announced World War III.

Francis clapped and threw roses. "Yes, my friends! Another ship sailing from Asia to Europe! How romantic, indeed!"

Raivis slapped him over the head. "You be quiet-it's just a kiss on the cheek! No need to overreact, you stupid frog!"

Ah, what a lovely day Valentines' is as the students fought against each other.
