((IT'S FINALLY HERE! YAAAY!!!))
OHC and Chocolates
Valentine's Day. A day where the love birds don't hold back and the scent of roses and chocolate is in the air. Which brings this story of love and passion to a secret island where only the most prestigious club resides. Many men live on this island as a need for their job. And many women live among them. Why a place like this exists? Well.. It's only possible for this place to be the one and only Otaku Host Club. And on the day of February 14th... Heh. If I just told you, then there would be no story, now would there? So let's begin this play on a couple of coziness and similarity between the two.
"D-Dino...!"
"Ah? Si, amore?"
The tall blonde blinked and looked back at a curly-haired brunette running towards him. She stopped right in front of him, looking down with a slight blush and carrying a small pink gift bag. She nervously held it up to him.
"I-I made you these chocolates, Dino. Happy Valentine's Day, Amore <3" Chero said shyly.
Dino chuckled and accepted the chocolates. "Grazie, Chero." he smiled and gave Chero a kiss in return. She returned the smile and kissed back.
In the background, the sound of clicks were coming from the bushes. Leaves rustled as someone tried adjusting themselves.
"Tch. Why can't we get these kind of innocent photos when we're all together?"
"Really, Hime? You're asking that now?" A girl with very short brunette hair looked over at her partner with much longer hair of a darker shade. Pushing up her glasses, the short-haired girl spoke again. "We're too obnoxious and nosy for them to be this 'innocent' around us."
Hime laughed loud enough where Dino and Chero wouldn't hear. "Oh yeah, that's right! Thanks for reminding me, Jenny." She quieted down again and resumed her spy work on the couple that was getting even more cozy than before.
Jenny took a few more pictures as well and sighed. "Is this how we're going to be spending our Valentine's Day?" she glanced at Hime, who seemed to be having more than enough fun getting more blackmail photos than cute ones. Pausing, she looked over at Jenny.
"Well of course it isn't, why would I want to spend my day sneaking around in the bushes? That's just lame." Putting away the camera, Hime stood up. "Didn't you say you had chocolates you were gonna make for a certain 'Hero', Jenny?" she grinned and began to walk away.
Jenny closed her eyes and blushed a bit. It's true, she wanted to make chocolates for America. But she felt like she was much too nervous to do so herself. Sitting in the bushes for a few more moments, she was startled by nearing footsteps and then a shadow blocking the sun.
"JENNY! What are you doing in the bushes?"
Jenny looked up to see the so-called 'disaster' twins looking over the bushes to see what their friend was doing. Kiki tilted her head in confusion while Mocha just blinked and stared.
"what? I can't use the bushes as my hiding spot?" Jenny replied, getting up.
Kiki just shrugged as Jenny walked out from the bushes. "Anyways! Happy Valentine's Day, Jenny!" Kiki and Mocha both gave Jenny a hug. Jenny laughed and hugged them both back.
"Thanks, you~ Ditto <3"
The trio began walking around the area.
"So," Mocha began. "Are you going to the Valentine's Day party, tonight?"
Jenny blinked. "Party? Since when? I didn't think we were having one this year."
Kiki reached into her pocket and handed the invitation to Jenny. "Everyone one got in their mailbox this morning."
Jenny took the invitation and looked at it. "Well that explains a lot, I haven't checked my mail since yesterday."
"So you're coming then, right?" Mocha asked again.
Jenny smiled as she returned Kiki's invite. "Of course, I'm going!"
Kiki smiled back at Jenny. "We'll see you tonight, then!"
The three parted ways, Jenny to her own home and the 'twins' off to wherever.
Jenny arrived home and stood with her back leaning against the front door while she pondered over what to do about her plans for the night. She really wanted to make chocolates, but at the same time, she knew how "great" she was at making sweets. Walking into the kitchen she looked around. The brunette had no idea where to even start.
Turning on her laptop, Jenny searched 'how to make homemade chocolates'. While she read, everything was just nonsense to her. Placing her laptop on the coffee table in front of the couch, she pulled out her phone.
"I really hate to bother her after I've already seen her..." Jenny just settled for sighing and quickly dialing her friend's number.
"Hello~?" A perky blonde's voice responded on the other end. The line was still silent for a moment. "He-"
"OMIGAWDKIKIINEEDHELPNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!" Jenny practically yelled at top volume into the phone.
Kiki twitched on her end, holding her phone arms-length away from her ear. She was sure that Jenny just busted an eardrum. After making sure everything was now quiet and safe, she returned the phone to where she can hear properly without any yelling.
"Jenny. You know I love you. But you're going to make me go deaf one day. Now take a deep breath, calm down, and slowly and QUIETLY repeat what you just said." Kiki couldn't help but laugh a little bit.
"Kikiiiiii..." Jenny whined. "I need help."
More silence. "Well..." Kiki started. "I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong."
Jenny sobbed. "I need help... making chocolates, for Alfred."
Kiki smirked. She loved her ships. Plus, she couldn't refuse the chance to make more sweets. "I'll be right over~!" She chirped as the phone line hung up.
Jenny slipped her phone back into her pocket. A smile broke out on her face while she started to think about how perfect tonight was hopefully going to be. A fun party with friends, spying on already together couples, and hoping that her host accepts her chocolates.
Spending a few minutes in the kitchen, trying to figure out which pots and utensils needed for this little project, Jenny wasted time while she waited for Kiki to arrive. Soon enough, a knock was sounded throughout the small home. The brunette hurried over to the door to open it for the blonde.
"KIKI!" Jenny tackle hugged her short friend once the door was wide open. The blonde stumbled back a bit but kept her balance so she wouldn't be crushed by love. When she regained her stance, she finally hugged back.
"Alright~!" Kiki said, sliding her way out of the hug and walking inside. "Shall we get started making these chocolates?" She easily found her way to the kitchen and quickly grabbed all the supplies needed.
Jenny joined Kiki and just stared at everything that was going on. How did her blonde friend know all of this so quickly? Without being able to come up with a reasonable answer, she walked over and tried to help out.
"Okay~ Time for a lesson in making the perfect Valentine's day chocolates!" Kiki chimed in after finding all the tools that they would need. "The first thing we need to do is melt the chocolate." She said, setting up the pots on the stove and pouring in the hard chocolate.
Jenny wrote notes in her small notebook, she was sure that she'd need this information in the future.
The two girls stirred the chocolate until it was fully melted. The brunette pulled out several sheets of heart shaped molds and got them ready while the blonde carefully poured the chocolate into the molds.
"Now let's leave this in the fridge for awhile, and you'll be all set!" Kiki smiled as she closed the door to the fridge.
"Great! Thanks Kiki-dear <3" Jenny responded. Silence filled the kitchen while the two wondered what else to do. "Well... what now?"
Kiki cupped her chin and looked her friend up and down, and then looked down at her own attire. Once she figured out what to do, a snap of her fingers was heard. "I got it!" She pointed to her confused friend. "You don't think that we're going to the party dressed like this, do you?"
Jenny wore a short-sleeved, graphic T-shirt with a heart design on the front. Her blue jeans were ragged at the bottom from being worn so many times. Kiki wore a similar outfit. Her long sleeved shirt was red at the sleeves and black for the rest of the shirt. Her jeans were smooth looking at the bottom for they were new, and too short to even touch the ground. The two had the same idea. This obviously wasn't proper party uniform.
The tall brunette sighed. "Yeah. We can't go to the party like this. But... I don't have anything in my wardrobe that's good enough for tonight!" She began to worry. Her closet consisted of T-shirts, mostly dark colors, plaid blouses, jeans, and either too long or very short skirts.
Heading for the door, Kiki chimed in again in response. "So that's why we're gonna go shopping!" Jenny couldn't resist the idea of shopping. The two quickly left the house and made their way to the mall.
The mall was full of almost all the girls out buying chocolates and picking out dresses for the party. With how busy the place was, it was a surprise that there was still anything left. The two made their way for a stylish clothing store. On their path, they ran into their accident-prone friend Danni. She was teasing Dante about something but continued to fluster as her plans backfired with every comment. Dante was the first to notice their little spyers. He gave a smirk which made Danni turn around to see what was going on.
"Happy Valentine's Day Kiki, Jenny." Dante said smoothly. The brunette and blonde waved with 'hello's and 'happy valentine's day's. Danni went all "Sharky" after she was tightly hugged by her friends.
Jenny was the first one to start asking questions. "So what brings you two to the mall today?"
Danni crossed her arms over her chest as her cheeks started to pinken a bit. "Dante said he has a surprise for me. But all we've been doing is walking around and talking."
Jenny raised a brow. "JUST talking?" She laughed at Danni's reaction.
"Y-YES!" Danni's face turned more red, either from agitation or embarressment. Dante just chuckled.
"Anyways!" Kiki interjected. "Are you both attending the party tonight?" She smiled brightly.
Dante smiled back. "Well of course we are. Besides, events like these are practically mandatory, are they not?"
Small agreements were muttered while they looked back to all the other partys held by the club. Everyone who was anyone that lived on the island all went to the parties. No if, ands, or buts about them. They all continued the small talk until Kiki realized the time.
"With as much we'd love to chat some more... We really need to get outfits for tonight." Jenny nodded in agreement as she checked her phone for the time as well.
They all said goodbye and parted ways. Jenny and Kiki to their store, and Dante and Danni off to their 'conversations'.
Walking into the store, Jenny immediately squealed at the first outfit she noticed. "Kiki! Look how cute this outfit is!!" She held up the display outfit to show off.
The dark red dress flowed to just above the knees. The belt around it was a faded pink a diamond-like studded heart buckle to hold it around the dress. It was strapless but it came with a black sweater that was sleeveless and went around just below the chest.
Kiki inspected it closely, know that it missed a thing or two. She made Jenny stay were she was as she hurried off to find what was missing. The blonde returned with a heart choker, which was outlined in blue, the very middle was red, and the rest was colored white and a pair of black gloves without their fingers and stop at the wrist. She also placed one of Jenny's favorite style hats on her head, it was a black and white plaid design with a white band going around it. Kiki gave a thumbs up of approval once Jenny tried it all on and posed in it.
Now it was Jenny's turn to help Kiki look for an outfit. She desperately wanted her lovable short friend to wear something with a skirt, but the blonde kept refusing. So they eventually settled on a fancy bright pink blouse, long flowing black dress pants. Since Kiki refused a skirt, Jenny insisted that she at least wore a pair of high-heeled boots. With a sigh, she went to try on her outfit. Jenny couldn't help but take pictures with her phone once her friend came out posing.
"I wish you would go a bit more fancy." Jenny said with a pout as they paid for their outfits.
Kiki took her bag and puffed out her cheeks. "Well I'm sorry that I don't want to be embarressed if my outfit is too flashy." The brunette just sighed as they left the store with their bags.
"Well well well. If it isn't my amicas Kiki and Jenny." A chuckle followed right behind while the two turned around to see Chrysta walking towards them.
"Chrysta!" She chuckled as she accepted the glomp from the two younger girls.
"What brings you here?" Chrysta asked.
Jenny held up the bag she held in her hand. "We were out shopping for the party tonight~"
Chrysta chuckled. "Oh~? I hope you had fun with that adventure of yours."
"Of course!" Kiki chirped.
"I suppose I'll be seeing you both at the party." Chrysta smiled. "Will you be bringing any dates?" She chuckled at the girls slightly pinkened cheeks. "Well I need to go find Sesshumaru. Ciao amicas." She passed them with a wave and left.
Jenny strectched once they left the mall. "So... think we're going to run into anyone again on the way back?"
Kiki just shrugged. "I dunno. Maybe. It's a good possibility, since everyone is out getting ready for the party."
They walked down the street of mini stores and window shopped while they tried to waste time. They talked about who would be at the party, what kind of games Luna would be hosting, and wondered if there would be any kind of prizes. Jenny managed to sneak in a small tease that made Kiki punch Jenny's arm, lightly of course. As they walked, an agrument over movies and bars and such could be heard. They kept walking closer and closer to it, and the volume seemed to rise with ever step.
"SOD OFF, YOU BLOODY WANKER! Your movies are annoying and stupid compared to mine!"
"COME ON, DUDE! You totally don't even know a good movie when you see one! My movies are filled with action, romance, and everything in between!"
"My movies have those!"
"Yeah but they're totally BORING!"
"Why you...!"
"Whoa whoa whoa!" Jenny hurried over and placed herself in between the two countries before the bushy-browed one could strangle the laughing one.
Since Jenny dropped her back to run over and stop the fight, Kiki followed afterwards holding both hers and Jenny's bags. England narrowed his eyes at America but straightened out and brushed himself off, since he was a gentleman in front of the girls, after all. America just laughed in victory since he knew that he wasn't going to be strangled this time.
"JENNY! DUDE!" Before she could get a chance to say hello back, she was scooped up into a tight bear hug, making it hard for her to breathe.
"A-Alfie... C-can't breathe." Jenny managed to cough out. America laughed as she felt his hold around her disappear. She took in a breath as she was able to breathe again. A smile formed once America was done laughing. "Happy Valentine's Day, Alfred~ oh, you too, Iggy!" She glanced back at the brit with a smirk.
England scowled at the nickname, but regained his posture. "Happy Valentine's day, dear." He said, but was drowned out by America's louder greeting.
"So Jenny! You're gonna be at the party tonight, right!?"
"O-of course I am, Alfie!" Jenny replied, curious as to where this up-bringing was going.
"Awesome!" America said. "Well... I was wondering if-"
"Jenny!" Kiki called to get her attention. Jenny responded in understandment.
America gave a pout of stubborness as Jenny began to walk towards Kiki. "I'll see you at the party tonight~!" She called back before she joined her friend. America waved back with a wide smile. "LATER JENNY!" The two left, but not quickly enough before they heard the countries arguing again over something. Even though the girls couldn't understand them anymore, they at least knew it wasn't over culture or anything along the lines of that for once. Jenny thought she heard England say something about America taking all the attention for himself, but then again, he always said something like that. So the thought was shrugged off.
By the time they parted ways and Jenny returned home again, there was almost an hour left before the party was supposed to start. She checked on the chocolates to make sure they were ready. When she noticed that they were, she emptied all of them into a cute little Valentine's day themed bag and closed it off with a red ribbon. Trying not to waste any more time, she hurried into her bedroom to change into her new outfit, pulling out a black pair of short-heeled sandels. The heels weren't completely thick, but they were thick enough where she could walk without falling or making a fool of herself. Since she never wore any anyways, she didn't even bother with make-up. Mostly for the fact that it was already time to go. Grabbing her purse and making sure she remembered to grab her little present, she left and headed to the party.
Flashing lights, balloons, streamers, a disco ball, a DJ, and everything and everyone else was crowded into the event building. All events were held here, no matter how much work needed to be changed on the inside. Strobe lights flashed and glow sticks helped light up the place. It was everything that Luna always loved. Even if it wasn't the 'proper' holiday for it, Luna always needed to have a rave if she were going to have a party. At least the glow stick colors ranged from Red, White and Pink.
A group of four were crowded together while they waited around for their other friends, if they were even coming in the first place. Hime absolutely knew that Chero was being stolen by Dino. She eventually left in search for them, leaving Mocha, Kiki, and Jenny by themselves.
"Well..." Mocha began. "With Hime off to find Chero, I'm assuming that Danni must be with Dante and Crysta with Sesshomaru." Kiki nodded in agreement until she noticed a spike of white hair sticking out of the crowd and coming closer to them.
"We're apparently going to lose another group member." Jenny smirked.
And the suspicions were correct. Toshiro had arrived in a tuxedo-like outfit and was holding a crystalized rose. He was looking away and blushing as he handed it to Mocha. Of course, she accepted it. Not without a blush of her own, though.
Kiki and Jenny were left alone again while Mocha had asked Toshiro if he wanted to dance with her for a little while. But since neither of them really danced, they were more than likely to go outside and just talk.
Jenny sighed for about the tenth time after glancing around the dance floor. She noticed a kissing booth set up in the corner, the sign said "$1 for 5 minutes - no limitations~ <3". Jenny and Kiki agreed to stay far away from that after it having been brought up. They took a walk outside since it was starting to get crowded in the dance floor room. They noted the tunnel of love that was set up outside. Also, another attraction that they would try and stay away from. Games were scattered around, including the pocky game booth. At the moment, Sasuke was being forced by Kira to attend the booth. A short Chi flailed in disapprovement as she tried to wave off any customers, but was drowned out with fangirls flooding the booth immediately. Kiki had to drag Jenny away from the crowd that she began to drift towards. The blonde definitely wouldn't allow temptations to distract her brunette. Especially not on the night of Valentine's Day.
The two found a place to stop and rest after walking around for about half the party. While they were resting, Luna had announced that the contest for the cutest couple was going to be talking place soon, and whichever couple won would be receiving a fully paid trip of romance to Venice, Italy. Italy himself came up with the idea of Venice being the perfect spot for a prize trip. He, of course, was the supposed 'leader' of the Italian hosts. And since he was one of the most flirtatous, he knew all of the perfect places to travel to.
Right after the announcement ended, a tall blonde vampire began to walk their way. Kiki blinked in surprise and immediately stood up. "I-Ichijou!" The vampire smiled brightly in repsonse to the greeting.
"Happy Valentine's Day, ms. Sunshine." Ichijou took hold of Kiki's hand and kissed the back of it, which made her face go from lightly pink to a bright red. While she was distracted, Jenny took her chance to take picture after picture.
"Would you let me have the honor of leading you in a dance, Kiki?" Ichijou asked smoothly with a soft smile. Kiki couldn't answer. One, if she said yes, she would have to dance, which she always refused. And two, if she said no, she would upset Ichijou. And she really didn't want to do that.
Jenny gave Kiki a little poke to the back. The blonde squeaked, but leaned down to hear what the brunette needed. "Go on and dance with your Vampire, Cookie-dear <3" she whispered. Kiki raised her finger to scold her friend on using that title, but Jenny quickly held up her phone, making the blonde hush up. "Ah-ah-aaah~ If you refuse, I could just as easily send this to our friends <3". She laughed with a kitty grin. With a huff and a pout, Kiki agreed to go dance with Ichijou.
Jenny sighed with a small smile as she watched the two walk back into the building. The party was beginning to wind down, so mostly slow songs were being played inside. All the hosts and girls that were outside retreated back inside once the wind started to make the temperate colder than what it was before. The only one who remained outside was Jenny. 'This breeze is nice.' She thought as she walked away from the bench she was sitting on and started towards the gazebo.
"Jenny!" A call from the inside somehow made its way outside. Jenny looked up from the small pond that she was overlooking. She looked behind her in curiousity to see America struggling his way out of the crowd. "Jenny, Dude!! Where have you been! I've been looking everywhere for you!" He laughed and joined her in the small area.
"You have?" Jenny said, a faint blush beginning to show. "S-sorry Alfie...! It was just getting too crowded in there, so I wanted to stay out here and enjoy the breeze."
America pouted a bit. "B-but... It's a party, dude! You're supposed to be inside enjoying it with all your friends!" From this remark, the assumption was made that he found everyone in Jenny's group in search for her, but had no luck. Jenny smiled and laughed a bit.
"I'm sorry, Alfie." She stepped towards him and gave him a hug, which he surprisingly gave a loose one in return.
America released her and she stepped back again, hoping that the blush on her cheeks wouldn't spread. It was silent for a few moments before a gasp of rememberance came out of Jenny's throat. "O-oh! That reminds me!" She rummaged through her purse for a second. Once she found what she was looking for, she held it out and looked away. "I might've needed help with these, but I made you some chocolates for Valentine's Day, Alfie. I hope they're good..."
Another moment of silence. Just when Jenny closed her eyes in fear that they weren't going to be accepted, she was once again pulled into a crushing hug.
"DUDE, YOU'RE TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!" America cried out.
Jenny practically had to struggle out of his grasp again just so she wouldn't be crushed to death by his over-loving hug. America happily took the bag of chocolates and rambled on about how happy he was and how he felt bad about not having anything to give in return.
Jenny only laughed. "It's okay, Alfie! As long as you're happy, I don't need anythi-"
"I'VE GOT AN IDEA!" America interupted. Jenny tried to agrue, she was eventually caught speechless when she felt a kiss planted on her cheek. Her little hope of the blush not spreading was broken. Her face turned completely red in a snap, while America laughed and pulled the flustered girl into a hug one more time. "Thanks a lot, Jenny! Happy Valentine's Day~!"
"H-Happy Valentine's Day, A-Alfie." Jenny stuttered, taking in the lucky moment that was happeneing to her.
"Dude, let's go dance before the party ends!" America suggesting, taking ahold of Jenny's hand and dragging her to the door before she could even answer.
"A-Alfiiiie! I-I don't dance, though!" Jenny replied. America just laughed it off as he dragged her back inside the building.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~BONUS ENDING~
Luna took hold of the of the microphone on stage with her free hand, for her other one was being held by her fiance, Ichigo. "Alright, my lovelies!" the long-haired leader spoke, making the entire crowd go silent. "It's time to pick the cutest couple and see who wins the romantic trip to Venice, Italy~!" Everyone cheered. Chants of the different couples went off, scattered through the different groups that were hoping for their preferred couple to win.
"Now, Now~" Luna spoke again. The crowd immediately hushed. "You all had the chance to choose between many different couples. Those choices were for either Dino and Chero-" A LARGE cheer flooded the room. "Myself and my Strawberry~" another cheer that was almost as loud. "Sunshine and Gin, Karmira and Ezio, Sasuke and Chi, and a few others~" Whispers waved through the crowd with gushes of those who hoped for their couples to be the outcome winners.
"After a long and patient wait, we finally have your winner!" Another loud cheer broke out and ended just as quickly as it started. "Without further adieu... Sunshine~ The envelope please <3"
Kira walked onto the stage and walked over to Luna, handing over an envelope that was sealed with a heart sticker. "And the winner of this years 'Cutest Couple' contest is..." Luna slowly unsealed the envelope, very slowly in hopes to add to the dramatic suspense that was already as high as it was going to get.
She pulled out the sheet of paper and stayed silent for a moment. The crowd watched anxiously while they waited for their leader to speak again.
"DINO CALVALLONE AND CHERO AOYAMA!"
A cheer erupted and confetti poured down onto the crowd. Dino lead Chero up to the stage and they were handed a large bouquet of roses by Italy. "Veh~! Congratulations Dino~! Chero~!" His curl bounced happily as he placed cute little crowns on top of Dino and Chero's heads.
"These two will have the pleasure to spend a romantic week in Venice, Italy~ Enjoy, you two! You deserved it!" Luna said.
Another new chant began to become understandable as more and more people repeated it. "KISS! KISS! KISS! KISS!" The couple knew who started it the chant. It consisted of the deadly duo, a pair of "twins", a "shark", and a fellow italiano. Even if they were all scattered about the place, having been taken away by their "men", they all still had the same thing in mind at the same time. Thus, how the chant had begun.
Dino chuckled as he faced his amore. "I guess we should give our fans what they want, eh, Amore?"
Chero's face was red, though she still managed to nod. She could get revenge on her friends later. But for now, she was more than happy. The two kissed and more confetti began to rain down.
"And that concludes tonight's party~ Happy Valentine's Day, all~!" Luna said, bringing the party to a much too early end.
And according to a select few members of the club, it would be a Valentine's Day that they would never forget.
