True Feelings

Summary:

Kagome was offering him chocolates, but Sesshoumaru wouldn't accept them if she was only giving them out of duty.

Notes:

SessKag Monthly Prompt Feb 2020 - Chocolate

Chapter 1: Honmei

Chapter Text

"Happy Valentine's Day, Sesshoumaru!"

Kagome was smiling at him, wide and bright like she always did.

She was holding out a bag of chocolates.

Sesshoumaru's nose twitched.

Based on how her scent permeated them, and the lumpy shape, they were homemade.

Yet, he didn't reach out to take them.

He pinned her down with his stare, arched his eyebrow in the way his mother often did.

"What kind of chocolate is that?" he asked.

Kagome frowned.

"What do you mean? Normal chocolate. Don't you like it?" Her lip suddenly gained a slight tremble. "Is it because you're a dog? You can't eat chocolate?"

"I'm a youkai, not a dog," he growled. "I can eat chocolate. But I won't take any obligatory ones. So what kind is it?"

Kagome bit her lip. Her cheeks glowed pink.

"It's... it's not an obligatory chocolate."

Sesshoumaru reached forward, taking a hold of the bag.

His golden eyes locked with Kagome's blue ones.

"You like me?"

"Yeah," Kagome said- There might have been a slight tremor to her voice but her shoulders squared and her gaze unwavering. "I do."

"Then I will accept them," Sesshoumaru said, nodding.

He took the bag of chocolates from her. "Thank you."

He turned to walk away, and buried his nose to the bag, inhaling deep the sweet scent of chocolate – and her.





Chapter 2: Promise

Chapter Text

The sound of her name stopped Kagome right as she was heading out of the door. 

Sesshoumaru was striding towards her, hands deep in the pockets of his school uniform.

"What?" Kagome asked, her heart skipping a beat.

"Give me your hand," Sesshoumaru said, in his typical bossy manner.

Nervous, Kagome held out her hand. 

"The other one," Sesshoumaru said.

Confused, Kagome offered him her left hand instead. 

Sesshoumaru smiled.

It was a rare sight, and Kagome couldn't help staring. 

Her attention was diverted a moment later, however, when Sesshoumaru gently took her hand in his. 

Holding her breath, Kagome watched as Sesshoumaru dug something out of his pocket. 

And started to slide it onto Kagome's finger.

"W-what's that?" she squeaked.

"Your return gift for the chocolates," Sesshoumaru said. "It's White Day."

"Right," Kagome said. She might have forgotten the date, but she still wasn't sure what was going on.

She brought her hand in front of her face, admired the slim, elegant ring. It glinted silver.

"It's pretty," she said, suddenly a bit shy as she offered him a smile.

"I just braided some strands of my hair," he said dismissively. "Your chocolate was homemade so I wanted to make something for you in return."

"I love it," Kagome breathed, her stomach aflutter with butterflies. 

She looked up, his steady golden gaze solid and solemn as a promise – as were his words when he replied. 

"One day when we're older I'll get you a better one. A proper one."

Words failed Kagome then, so instead she took his hand, stepped close and bravely planted a quick, soft kiss on his flushed cheek.
