"Hey, Laceless," Eging Jr slowly approached the small boy. "Do you know what Pocky day is?"Laceless looked up from the flower book he was reading. "N-no, w-what is it?"Eging held up a box of chocolate Pocky sticks, which, unbeknownst to Laceless, were Prince's favorite."It’s when you play the Pocky game with friends!" Eging grinned. This was the perfect way to get his OTP together. Laceless and Prince were crushing on each other. It was so obvious.The problem was, both boys were too shy to confess."W-what's the P-pocky game?" Laceless asked quietly. Eging explained it to him. "It's when two people hold a Pocky stick in their mouths, and then race to see who can eat the middle first! Why don't you and Prince go try it?"Laceless blushed, sensing where this was going. "I d-don't know i-if he'd like that... b-but I can ask!"Eging grinned. Pocky day was always his favorite day, because it meant he could get people to kiss, and possibly confess. It was how he'd gotten Emperor and Gloves together, and N-pacer was already asking her crush platonic friend she swore she had no romantic interest in, due to having lost a bet the previous week.He smirked. This was a good day."Um, P-Prince? I w-wanted to ask you something..."Prince paused the movie he was watching. "What's up? Is something wrong?" Laceless blushed, seeing Prince's smile. He has such a beautiful smile...Laceless closed his eyes and thrust the box of Pocky toward Prince."D-doyouwanttoplaythepockygamewithme?"Prince looked confused. "Can you slow down? I can't understand what you're saying."Laceless breathed in. Why was he so nervous? It's just his teammate Prince! It didn't matter how cute that teammate was or how pretty his smile was."Do y-you want to p-play the Pocky game with me?" Prince smiled. "Oh, I know what that is! You race to eat the middle, right? You've even got my favorite flavor, that's so sweet!"Prince put one end of the Pocky in his mouth, waiting for Laceless to grab the other end.Laceless bit down on the other side, carefully eating to the middle. He felt Prince's lips on his. Laceless immediately jerked back, blushing hard. Prince kissed him. That was fine.He looked up to see Prince also blushing. "What happens when we get to the middle at the same time?" He asked.Laceless' entire face was flushed now. "I-i guess I-it's a t-tie!"Prince looked at the smaller Inkling. "Do you want to try it again without the Pocky?"Laceless stood on his toes and kissed Prince on the cheek. "I-I love you."Prince kissed him back. "I love you too."Laceless took Prince's hand. "Are w-we boyfriends n-now?"The taller Inkling giggled. "I'm pretty sure everyone already thinks we are." Eging Jr quickly left his spot behind the door. He couldn't help spying, and he'd gotten some good pictures. The sweet moment lasted about two minutes before Emperor yelled from the closest room in their family's large mansion. "Stop with all the mushy stuff! Gloves and I are trying to watch a horror movie, and you're being too distracting!"Both Inklings blushed. "Want another Pocky?" Asked Prince.Laceless took it, and they again began to race to the middle.

"Hey, Vintage. Do you know what day it is today?" Red-Sole poked Vintage's cheek.Vintage swatted her. "Leave me alone." Red did not leave him alone. "It’s the day where you ask out Emperor!" Vintage groaned. Last night had been the X-blood's monthly game night, (Omega winning most of the games) and during a game of truth or dare, Red had dared Vintage to play the Pocky game with Emperor the next day, and then ask him out! He was exhausted at the time, so Vintage, being an idiot, agreed to.Now it had come back to bite him.Vintage had had a crush on Emperor for the past few months, and he was down bad.The problem being that he thought it would be a good idea to tell Red-Sole about it.(Spoiler alert: it was not a good idea.)Red poked him with a Pocky box. "Come on, I want to see some cute gay people! Get up!"Vintage reluctantly got up. He didn't want to do the Pocky game, but it was either that or be teased by Red forever.And, well, the choice was fairly obvious.
Ding-dong
Emperor answered the doorbell, coming face to face with a grumpy Vintage."Hello. I did not think you would be coming over."Vintage stuffed his hands in his pockets. "If it was my choice, I wouldn't be."Vintage held out a box of Pocky sticks. "I have to play the Pocky game with you.He hoped Emperor didn't notice him blushing.Emperor took the box. "I've heard of that. I believe Prince was playing it with Laceless earlier."The tips of Vintage's ears began to turn red. "Just put the dumb thing in your mouth already." Emperor held one end in his mouth, bending down so Vintage could reach properly.Vintage bit the other end, and soon their lips were touching.Vintage quickly moved away, blushing hard. Emperor put his hand on the shorter Inkling cheek."Are you ill? You're very warm.""...Shut up." That night, Vintage lay in bed, still hearing Emperor's voice in his head. He had a handsome face too, Vintage thought....He should have asked Emperor out. Vintage was a chicken.Red was going to tease him nonstop tomorrow.
