"They would look great together."
"A prince and a princess..."
"More like King and Queen...look how elegant they are, it's brightening..."
"This seems interesting now, Ryosuke-sama~" – Lucy teases Ema and Yuusuke, who is sitting beside Lucy, they stifled up watching the scene in front of them, and a blushing Ryosuke shakes his head off to get rid of some ideas.
"I can give you a friendship chocolate." – she grins
"And then I'll put all my love into Misa-chan and Hiro-chan."
"Should I feel jealous of my siblings?" – he chuckles, causing Lucy to giggle while shaking her head gently, that ruffled her golden hair.
"You guys seem close." – Yuusuke said
"Did you guys forget? I told you before I bumped into someone at the store yesterday with his siblings who happened to be there. I thought I told you about it to you guys on that night?" – Lucy answers.
"You know Ema and Yuusuke?" – Ryosuke asks
"Oh right, I do remember Lucy mentioning it." - Yuusuke said, scratching his head.
"Of course, I am staying with them at least until the school year is over and do whatever." – she replies
"Oh, that makes sense... well, it's time to head home as I still need to get something for the kids." – Ryosuke said in return.
"Alright, bye-bye ~" – Lucy sang.
"Well...you want to go to the supermarket, right?" – Yuusuke asked as she nodded.
"Let's go!" – Ema smiles, grabbing her things and walking out of their classroom as she heads straight to the location of Lucy's car.
The trio drives towards the supermarket to buy ingredients for Lucy's chocolates that she will need to make Valentine's chocolates for the Asahina brothers, little Ema, her family in the dragon realm and her celestial friends, her classmates at the school, and the Sato family.
In the supermarket, Yuusuke pushes the cart while Ema and Lucy look for the correct ingredients they'll buy and materials used as containers for those homemade chocolates.
"I can probably make chocolates mixed with strawberry, and some of the chocolates will have hazelnut in there... something for the class and then a fish-flavored for Happy. Maybe I should make dark chocolates for some people who are not a fan of sweets." – she murmured to herself.
"That's a lot of things; I can help you make it, Lu-chan." – Ema smiles
"Arigatou~ well, we need strawberries, cocoa beans, I know some other stuff we have at home, parchment paper, ribbons, heavy cream...sigh~ this is gonna take a while." – Lucy sulks, thinking about the things they need to buy and get, even making it will take a long time.
After an hour and a half of shopping for groceries full of chocolate ingredients, they finally managed to get each ingredient she needed for this year's Valentine's Day. And her being the thoughtful person she is, she decides to make everyone something. When they got home, everyone are automatically greeted in the kitchen by the three teenagers carrying bags.
"That's a lot of bags..." – Azusa sweatdrop.
"No wonder you didn't come home yet." – Iori said, gawking at the full bags as they settled on the table.
"So, what's in there?" – Natsume said, visiting the house for the day.
"These are all Lucy's." – Yuusuke sulked into the chair gasping for air slightly as the same as Ema who are also breathless and tired from carrying those bags. Lucy didn't even break a sweat carrying the grocery bags, it does not compare to her hellish training in the dragon realm so carrying those bags is an easy feat for her.
"Is it for Valentine's Lushie~" – Happy plopped onto her head like the lazy cat he is.
"Yuppies." – Lucy smiles happily replying to the lazy Neko blue cat taking all the things out of the bag and then putting it on the shelf in the kitchen.
"Is Lucy nee-chan making choco for someone?" – Wataru hugs Lucy's waist acting cute with his puppy eyes out for Lucy to focus and mumbling about how adorable and precious Wataru is as she pinches both of his cheeks.
"That's right." – she answers
"Can we know who Lucy-chan is gonna make a chocolate for?" – Tsubaki inquires, wrapping his arms around Ema's shoulder, causing Julie to hiss at him.
"Nope~" – she sang
"Anyways how was school today?" – Masaomi asks sipping on his coffee at the table as he shot a jealous stare at Tsubaki being close to Ema, Lucy notices the looks of the older brother giving Tsubaki which cause her to slyly smile planning some things in her mind.
"Lucy already got the whole school fawning over her." – Yuusuke leaned his head on Ema's head while wrapping his arms around her waist, causing Tsubaki to withdraw his arm over Ema's shoulder.
"Tch everyone kept talking about how a goddess or an angel she is." – Fuuto crossed his arms over his chest, a scowl sketched to his arrogant face.
"Is someone jealous?" – Tsubaki teases as he pulls Ema towards him, hugging her in the process and making Julie jump onto the table because of the sudden movement. Yuusuke glares at him as he already misses the warmth and scent of Ema. As for Lucy, she watches in amusement because of the blush on Ema's face and these brothers are fighting for her attention and affection.
"Of course, because the princess is a beautiful young lady." – Louis commented before walking to sit on the couch as he touches Lucy's hair in adoration.
"Valentines..." – Subaru muttered, Hikaru was sitting there with a smirk, seeing the brothers are full-out jealous.
"Oh yeah, that's right I almost forgot next week the temple is holding a festival." – Kaname said on the sidelines.
"We can stay at the family villa near there." – Ukyo suggested
"A festival? Well, that's weird, my mom called me yesterday saying she is forcing me to perform next week for a festival and she was smirking the whole time with this scary aura surrounding her." – she shivered at the thought of remembering it.
"Waahhh~ I can see Lu-chan perform again." – Ema said excitedly, escaping from the two brothers having a glaring contest and then running towards Lucy, hugging her on the side.
"Perform? You can sing?" – Fuuto asks, bewildered, she just shrugged it off.
"Who knows~" – Lucy teases making Fuuto feel irked at it.
"Now we have a better reason for going to the festival." – Hikaru chuckles
"What did she say? What kind of performances do you have to do?" – Masaomi inquires
"A traditional style...I'm used to this kind of performance as they would always make me do it at the castle anyways." – Lucy sighs helplessly.
"Alright then I'll put in some calls for next week." – Masaomi said walking away before giving Ema a good night kiss on the forehead which made her blush putting the tomatoes in shame.
"Hime-same." – Virgo appeared out of nowhere, shocking everyone
"Yes, Virgo?"
"Layla-sama has requested I give this to you." – she handed her clothes and accessories for the performances that will happen at the festival next weekend.
"Really...alright Arigatou Virgo." – Lucy sweatdrop
"You're welcome princess, punishment?" – she said ever so expressionlessly, everyone looks bewildered with wide eyes, Lucy shakes her head no and she disappeared into golden dust.
"Punishment?" – they ask in unison
"Each of my spirits is all unique and for some reason, she has picked up on that one, but I don't comply with it." – Lucy sighed
"What's punishment?" – Wataru asked looking up at Lucy as everyone's face become red like a tomato.
"It's only called punishment, it's like... (Lucy trailed off making them worry about Wataru's innocence) ...this" – she kissed him on the cheek making their jaws drop and causing Wataru to squeal in happiness and delight.
"Virgo is full of surprises." – Happy muttered to herself, which Julie heard, causing him to nod his head.
"Can I get one then Lucy-chan?" – Tsubaki smiled but got hit in the head by Azusa scolding him for his straightforwardness: 'Don't say stuff like that baka.'
"Lu-chan, how about we start making the stuff for Valentine's Day, I'll help, so you won't be too tired out." – Ema suggested earning a smile and giggles from Lucy.
The blonde girl agrees wholeheartedly to little Ema's suggestion, both of the girls and their pet/partner walk along with them as they headed towards the kitchen to do some baking for Valentine. The brothers watched the two girls walk away from the living room and then disappear around the corner before striking up a conversation between them.
"Angel-chan is too cute." – Kaname chuckles to himself
"She's full of surprises herself." – Azusa said, sitting down on the couch
"Chocolate..." – Iori muttered before walking off towards his bedroom, thinking about what kind of chocolate should he give to the two girls.
"I wonder who Lucy-nee-chan is making chocolate for?" – Wataru asks no one
"She did say she would be making some for the class." – answered Yuusuke
"The class that's a lot." – Subaru said surprisingly
"Yeah, I bought way too many things so if you all want you can make chocolate too for your favorite certain someone." – Lucy said to the rest of Asahina's brothers with a sly smile hinting to them to make chocolate for their beloved Ema to earn her attention and affection they solely want. This clue didn't go unnoticed by them as they blush furiously.
