Knock, Knock, Knock
The door of the Xsoleil student council president’s room was knocked in the middle of the night. The owner of the room who was laid down on the sofa suddenly got up and opened the door.
Ver opened the door and immediately pulled the guest into the room. He craned, looked left and right in front of the room to make sure no one had seen what had happened tonight, then quickly closed the door and locked it.
“Did you bring ‘it’ with you?”
The magenta-haired guy smile, showing off his small canine teeth. Then show ‘it’ to his president.
“Of course”
“Nice!” Ver smiled with satisfaction. “Go sit down and wait a sec”
Doppio sat down on the sofa. He looked inquisitively at Ver who walked to close the curtains on every windows. But Doppio didn’t say anything about that. He just looked and waited silently. Until Ver walked back and sat down next to him.
“Are you sure no one knows about this?” Ver asked in a serious tone
“No…but—”
Doppio didn’t finish his sentence, the president’s eyebrow immediately furrowed.
“But what?”
“…”
There is no answer to that question from the younger man. He stared at the boxes Ver asked him to bring with. with a pure confusion on his face.
When Ver saw the first year's behavior, his worry doubled up.
“Doppi, but…what?”
“I don’t understand Ver”
“don’t understand what?”
“…”
Doppio still didn't say anything. He looked at the boxes in his hand before flipping it over and over again to find that it was all black box, no patterns or anything indicating what’s inside.
Ver feels more stressful every second Doppio used silence to answer his question.
Under that calm expression, waiting for the answer from the person in front of him, his worry almost tore through his chest and shook Doppio to answer the question.
“Doppi, what don't you understand?”
“I don’t understand…” Doppio looked at Ver “I don’t understand why you have to sneak around like this? It’s just a box of chocolates.”
Ver gave a sigh of relief. He snatched the box from doppio’s hand and slowly opened it.
“It’s not just a chocolate Doppi”
Ver locked eyes with the other’s eyes.
“It’s a liqueur chocolate”
“So what?”
“So what? I can’t believe the duke of discipline asked me that question. The Xsoliel boys’ dormitory Rule, page 10, number 12, prohibits students from bringing food or beverages containing all kinds of alcohol into the dormitory.”
“But this is candy, kaichou.”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
They looked at each other in silence.
“That’s not the point Doppi! All I’m saying is, we’re breaking the rules, and we're the student council.”
“So what?”
The student president was so done now
“Damn it, Doppi”
“If you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything. Who will knows?”
“Yes, but—”
“No one knows, Ver. I bring it because you said you want to try, now let’s eat it”
They opened the box, and as soon as they saw what’s inside, all the worries suddenly disappeared. Instead, there was a smile of excitement and the sparkle in Ver’s eyes.
“looks so good!”
“I know right. Try it. Have you ever had a drink?”
“I used to drink a little, but it didn’t taste that good. So, I wanted to know what it would taste like if liquor was mixed with chocolate.”
Then the sweet tooth took the first piece. The younger man looked at Ver without taking his eyes off.
Ver’s expression changed every second. From excitement to surprise followed by a strange expression on his face, then closing his eyes, looking up and receiving the taste of blessing from heaven.
“Is it good?”
“This is amazing Doppi”
Doppio chuckled fondly.
“Well, I can tell that from your face”
“You can try some” Ver said, with a second piece in his mouth.
Doppio tried one, and Ver watched the other person’s reaction while enjoying the chocolate in his mouth.
“how is it?”
“Delicious!”
“Yeah! this is worth your time and effort to find it. Thank you Doppi!” Ver said, proving what he said by eat it more and more, chewing without stopping.
Doppio looked at Ver who was happy with his gift and chuckled.
“I knew you’d like it”
In the silence of the president’s room, there is a soft sound of the game they’re playing, Ver and Doppio chilling on the couch, their eyes focused on the screen while their fingers pressed the game controller. Even though they have a game to focus on, they did not forget to take a chocolate into their mouths.
Over a half of the liqueur chocolate in the box was in their stomachs, but most of it seemed to be in Ver’s.
When the intense competitive game ended, they moved on to a more relaxing game.
Ver half-sitting, half-lying on the couch. He changed poses to relieve stiffness and then rested his head on Doppio’s shoulder, one hand pressed against the game controller, and the other hand steadily fed himself with chocolate.
As soon as the younger man felt the weight and a soft gentle smell of shampoo from Ver on his shoulder. Doppio felt like he had stopped breathing for a moment. He looked down at Ver. But he couldn't see anything else but soft, reddish-black hair and soft-look cheeks that kept chewing a chocolate.
Doppio pulled his eyes back to the screen, praying that the game sound might be loud enough to drown out his fast beating heart.
After a while, there are only a few pieces of chocolate left in the box, along with Ver who began to turn into a liquid cat. From where he used to lean on doppio’s shoulder, now he is almost lying on doppio’s chest.
“Are you sleepy?” asked the first year
“Huh…nahh not yeeet~ ”
Ver’s drowsy tone that response has given Doppio the expected answer.
Ver may not be sleepy yet, but he’s definitely drunk.
Doppio looked at the large box of chocolate, which now had only two pieces left, and he was not surprised at all.
“Are you drunk?”
“Noooo~ ” answered the man who buried his head in Doppio chest, and then looked up at him.
When Doppio look at the other’s glossy drunk reddish eyes, he felt like he was drinking pure alcohol without chocolate for a whole box.
“kaichou…”
“Huh? What Pio-chan”
Doppio didn’t even know when he stopped breathing, but the president’s eyes and his smile right now were something he didn’t expect to see in his life.
This is too much
Too close…
At first, he prayed that the game sound might be loud enough to drown out his heartbeat. But at this moment, Ver’s face was snuggled against his chest. Doppio could only pray that Ver was drunk enough to not to notice his wild heartbeat inside.
But God has never had mercy on the duke of discipline who breaks the rule.
“Pio-chan, your heart is beating so fast… are you drunk?”
Ver’s eyes,
Ver’s voice,
Reddish tint on Ver’s face... There was nothing he could resist.
The student council needs to add new rule. ‘Do not let the student council president get drunk!’
“You’re so drunk Ver. Shall I leave? so you can sleep”
“Nooo don’t go~ we haven’t finished the chocolate yet. The rest is for you”
It sounds like a pleasure to have sweet lovers like Ver share his favorite chocolates, but the rest Ver said refers to two pieces of chocolate.
“O-Okay… if I finish these, then I’ll go back to my room”
“Uh-huh” Ver nodded vigorously on Doppio’s chest and looked at him without blinking.
Doppio took deep breaths, trying desperately to distract himself from the cutest thing in the world on his chest and finish the liqueur chocolate as fast as possible, so that he could get out of here before he had a heart attack from Ver’s cuteness.
He took one piece of chocolate in his mouth while Ver’s glossy drunk eyes looked at him. He tried to ignore it. Hurry up and chew it all up and reach for the last piece of chocolate.
But the rule-breaker must be severely punished…
Severe penalty such as…the way the student president who he secretly has a crush on moves up and sits on his lap and raises up his arms around Doppio’s neck, with the pretty face reddened by alcohol that moves closer and closer to a level that he could easily freak out.
Doppio felt that the temperature in the room suddenly heated up, even though the air conditioner was still doing its job flawlessly.
What is happening here? He had never seen this side of Ver before, and didn’t expect to see.
“Pio-chan made a mess~”
The man on his lap moved even closer. Close that Doppio can feel the warm breath mixed with the scent of liquor and chocolate poured on his cheek.
The heat started from face, spread all over his body, along with a wild heartbeat.
And then Ver stuck out his tongue to licked the chocolate stain on the corner of Doppio’s mouth. The younger man's head was completely blank immediately.
He thought he could die once. But this student president proved that’s wrong.
Doppio froze, letting Ver’s hot tongue lick from the corner of the mouth to his lower lip, and biting lightly as if it were his favorite sweet jelly.
By the time Doppio regained consciousness, the person on his lap was trying to stick his tongue in to eat chocolate in his mouth.
He gently pushed Ver’s shoulder. But two arms that wrapped properly around his neck refused to move.
“Nooo~ can I have some more?”
“Wait Ver!”
Doppio tried to stop Ver, even though he has no power to resist this man.
“Let me eat some more Doppi, please~”
Both the tone and the pleading eyes of Ver, Doppio cannot resist anymore.
The kiss that mixed the taste and smell of chocolate and liquor made Doppio's brain stop working. He could not tell whether this was reality or a dream. Or it's just drunkenness that would blow away as soon as he’s sobered.
Doppio felt like Ver’s temperature and flavor of the kiss would make him melt like a chocolate.
He blames everything, blames the rules and himself for breaking the rule, blames the alcohol that makes his head dizzy, blames the sweetness of chocolate that makes him want to eat it more and more.
And blames his student president for having caught his eye at first sight and making him fall in love more and more every day.
“Um…”
Their lips parted lingeringly, leaving a clear line connecting them together as don’t want to be separated.
And then Doppio saw the sight that made him uncontrollably intoxicated.
He saw himself reflected in Ver’s beautiful eyes. The reddish tint on Ver’s cheeks spread to his ears, and lips that had turned redder from the kiss.
“Ver—”
“Shh”
The man on his lap softly pressed his index against Doppio’s lips, the heat from Ver’s finger spread over Doppio’s body.
“There’s still one piece left… good boy, you have to eat it all.”
At that moment, Doppio had decided he would no longer hide his feeling for Ver anymore.
Then their lips touched again.
Sunlight went through the crevices of the curtains into the student president room.
The sleeping president’s eyelids moved slightly before slowly opening, he blinked a few times to adjust to the outside light.
Ver pushed himself up into a sitting position, then found that he was covered with a blanket.
He looked around in a daze. In his head, it was so full of fog that he couldn’t think about anything. He looked at the table next to his couch, there were two game consoles and an empty box of chocolate.
Wait a minute.
A box of chocolate?
A box of chocolate…
The lazy morning brain of the student council president began to process.
Chocolate…
The brain began to retrieve memories last night.
A liqueur chocolate…
The brain had successfully recovered from what happened last night.
Yes! liqueur chocolate!
And now those memories were making Ver’s face slowly turn red.
Last night… What did I do?
Ver covers his completely blushing face with two hands.
All of the memories last night replayed again in his head.
memories of everything, every action…
What, where, who, with whom, and how? He remembers everything clearly.
He remembers the taste, smell, and touch…
Ver covered himself with a blanket, curled up in a round mass, his hands covering his face, and let out a desperate whine in his throat.
What did I do!
How do I face Doppi after doing something like that!
But the fact that Doppio kisses back—
“ahh”
Ver shook his head hoping to get those embarrassing memories out of his head. But unfortunately, they were too deep into his head and body to be forgotten overnight.
He may have been drunk, but he’s not drunk enough to do anything mindlessly. He knew and remembered what he had done.
He kissed Doppio, but Doppio didn’t reject, plus he kissed back.
What does it mean?
But somehow, he should apologize to Doppio for doing that, and tell him to forget about it.
Doppio wouldn’t feel that way about him anyway, it’s only him who…
Ver suddenly emerged from the pile of blankets.
I have to apologize, even if Doppi is angry or doesn’t want to see me anymore, I have to apologize!
He hurriedly got off the couch, took a deep breath, encouraged himself then grabbed the doorknob, ready to open it and face the younger man.
But before he opened the door, the bathroom door opened.
There is someone in the bathroom?
“Oh, you awake?”
The person in his bathroom is no one else but the man who had been together all night.
Ver felt like he couldn't find his voice. He looked at the first year in shock, and didn't expect to see him so quickly.
When Doppio saw the president didn’t say anything, he realized something. He walked closer to Ver.
They were facing each other, one person looked at the other as evaluating something, and the other bowed his head down, leaving only red blushed ears.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m okay…I just…” Ver didn’t know what to say. He wanted to apologize, but didn’t know how to start.
But Doppio knew exactly how to start.
“Do you remember about last night?”
Ver nodded, still looking down at his own feet.
“I’m sorry” said Ver, without looking at the other’s eyes.
He was supposed to look at Doppio and apologize properly, but he couldn't… his body refused to move.
“I don’t want an apology”
That response made Ver look up at Doppio immediately.
He was stunned to speak. Was this something he should have prepared to admit that Doppio might be angry, but hearing this with his own ears was more painful than he thought.
Doppio’s face was expressionless, only his beautiful colored eyes that Ver liked, looking at him with a look he had never seen before.
“Are you angry, Doppi?”
The president’s heart deflated like a wither balloon.
Ver don’t want to be hated.
“I don’t need an apology because I have a question, I want to ask you”
“Ask what?”
Doppio leaned closer and stopped beside Ver’s ear, which was still tinted red. And used his low pitch voice to whisper.
“Did you like last night’s chocolate?”
Ver immediately covers his ear ticklishly. Then he sat down on the floor, burying his face into his arms. And let out a little whine in his throat.
Doppio sat down and laughed softly and satisfied that he succeeded in teasing the other party.
Doppio knows that his student president is a smart person. And he knew Ver understood that chocolate doesn’t mean chocolate.
“What’s your answer kaichou. Just one word, you like it or not”
“…”
Ver didn't move or say anything. He still hugs himself into a lump.
The time passed until Doppio began to be apprehensive that the answer would not be what he had hoped for, and all the reaction that Ver showed toward him doesn’t mean anything at all.
The storm of confusion grew stronger and stronger in Doppio’s mind, but Ver’s soft voice swept the whole storm away.
Ver raised his head and made eye contact with the person in front of him.
“I’m not sure yet, but if I say I want to keep trying… Is that okay?”
In the first second after he said that, Ver saw Doppio’s beautiful multicolored eyes widen, with a smile that lighted the world, and the next second, he received a warm embrace he has ever received form Doppio.
“Really? Is that the truth?!”
“um” Ver nodded his head over the other’s shoulder.
“Thank you Ver”
“um” Ver nodded stronger in the same place.
“Well then… I’ll bring chocolate to eat together again. There are several boxes left in my room”
Ver pushed himself out of the embrace and looked at Doppio in shock.
“Wait, how many boxes do you have? What will you do if you get caught?!”
The person who had illegal items in possession laughed loudly.
“Even a time like this, kaichou is still kaichou”
“I’m not joking. That’s a big risk, Dopp—”
And all the sermons that were coming out from Ver’s mouth were stopped, by a gentle kiss from doppio.
“Then you should come help me eat so I can finish it all quickly”
The bad behaved duke of discipline took advantage of the chance while Ver was still shocked by the kiss. He leaned closer to whisper beside that red ear with a mischievous smile.
“Eat… just like last night”
