Suzaku isn’t sure if giving Lelouch chocolate for Valentine's Day would be appropriate. He spends some of his free time researching different types of confections, anyway: sweet, bitter, with nuts or berries. There’s a lot more to choose from than he thought, and if it were a gift for himself, he would want something simple. But this isn’t for himself; it’s for Lelouch.What kind would Lelouch even like? he wonders. Instead of asking his boyfriend, he ends up dwelling on the idea for so long that, when the holiday finally rolls around, he has nothing to give him.Every girl in school seems to be handing Lelouch chocolate, store-bought and tucked inside small tins. Each encounter ends up with Lelouch attempting to graciously refuse the gift, but the offerings are always shoved into his hands before the gifter runs off."I'm not really a fan of chocolate," Lelouch admits later when they’re alone in the hallway. "But you look like you might be."He pops open one of the tins, picking out a small piece of chocolate to devour. Suzaku watches him curiously, and before long, Lelouch takes a step toward him.When he kisses him, he tastes sweet.
