Work Text:
Holidays weren't celebrated at all at school.
Not that the girls didn't try of course, but getting any type of special items was almost impossible and giving those items away was out of the question.
Which is why there was no expectation from Kame that she would get anything.
Even with her ranking in the school, gifts were sparse.
“Kame~” Of course there were exceptions to every rule and surprises around every corner.
“Konoka.” There was a small item thrown into Kame's lap on the book she was reading. (Not for fun, there were no fun books to read, not at this school.)
“What's this?” Kame furrows her brows looking up as Konoka flops down beside her on her bed, something that was explicitly not allowed.
“A gift!” Kame picks it up, confused but trusting; Konoka usually wouldn't go out of her way so it must be something important.
it was..
A small chocolate bar, fitting for valentines day.
“How did you get this?” She fiddles with the candy, hesitant to open it. It was stupid but she had rarely gotten gifts so sue her for wanting to savor it.
Konoka hums to herself thoughtfully, her hands playfully going to hold one of Kame's.
“Maybe you should thank me first?”
“I’m not doing that.”
“At least I tried!” The other girl laughs and squeezes Kame's hand which offers little resistance.
There's a smile on her face as she actually begins to recall how she had come into the possession of the chocolate.
It was a long and convoluted story, it involved people Kame was sure that she had never met which wasn't a very big pool.
But at the end of it Konoka took her hands back and lazily shrugged.
“-I don't like chocolate anyway so i just gave it to you.”
“hm.” A lie if Kame had ever heard one, Konoka loved any and all sweets contrast to Kame's almost detestment of the flavor.
Konoka didn't seem to pick up on Kame's suspicion, instead beginning to rant about another random topic.
So with an exasperated sigh Kame dreadfully opened the candy and popped the chocolate in her mouth, murmuring a quiet thanks as she did so.
“Aw! Kame~ you're so sweet!” Konaka's palpable excitement almost made the horrible, downright shitty chocolate worth it.
