[Today is February 14.

The day girls in Japan traditionally give chocolate to guys they like.

Souji is not a girl.

This is not stopping him from taking over part of the kitchen in order to make chocolate.

It will be the best chocolate, if he can stop absently eating the ingredients, which is what the feed is currently capturing him doing as he looks over the recipe he's using.

Anyone want to taste test this stuff?]

[masukukunai]

You didn't have to do that...

[He doesn't seem displeased; just embarrassed. Like always.]

[eatsyourscience]

I wanted to.

[masukukunai]

Yeah, I figured.

Man, homemade and everything...

[eatsyourscience]

It's good. [He tested it.]

[masukukunai]

Probably because you've already ate half of it while you were cooking.

[eatsyourscience]

...Less than that.

[masukukunai]

I knew it! You just can't help yourself, can you?

[eatsyourscience]

The baking chocolate doesn't taste good. [So he had to eat the sweet stuff.]

[masukukunai]

Duh. I don't think you're supposed to eat raw ingredients.

[eatsyourscience]

[The sad thing, is he learned that it tastes bad years ago. And he really doesn't have an excuse. So time to change the subject.]

I can bring it to you in a little while.

[masukukunai]

[Lol oh Souji.]

Uh... Sure. That's okay.

[Better than in public, for now.]

[eatsyourscience]

I can bring curry, too.

[masukukunai]

Curry and chocolate? That's an unorthodox Valentine's.

[But he knows it's because it's his favorite, so he doesn't go any further than that.]

[eatsyourscience]

At least I'm not putting them together.

[Mint chocolate in curry? Really Chie?]

[masukukunai]

Oh man. I miss the girls, but I sure don't miss that.

Although you're probably the one that'd have to eat all their rank cooking.

[eatsyourscience]

I don't mind not having that part. [But he does miss them.]

[masukukunai]

Being popular must be hard.

[Sarcasm: Drippng.]

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji's look clearly says "you say that like you don't also have six close friends who would do anything for you."]

[masukukunai]

Romantically popular. High levels of swag. Chick-getofication.

[eatsyourscience]

I didn't date anyone in Inaba.

[masukukunai]

...Really?

[eatsyourscience]

Really.

[masukukunai]

[This makes Yousuke think for a minute. He always just assumed he was a special case and Souji was otherwise heterosexual. Maybe he didn't have eyes for girls from the beginning? There were so many ways this could go.]

Why not? You could've had any of them if you wanted.

[eatsyourscience]

We were a little busy. [Until Christmas, anyway.]

[masukukunai]

Ah-- haha, yeah. That's true...

[And of course, there's a perfectly simple explanation.]
