Pointless Valentine's Day Fluff
Hisoka looked at the box that Tsuzuki had plunked onto the desk in front of him. "Ano... what's that?" he asked, trying to keep the suspicion out of his tone. It was difficult.
"Don't you know the date?" Tsuzuki asked, grinning widely at his younger partner.
"It's February fourteenth," Hisoka said, clearly missing the point.
"It's Valentine's Day!"
Hisoka's eyebrow twitched. "No," he said firmly. He picked up the box and deposited it in the trash can next to his desk. "I am not a girl, and I'm not going to accept a Valentine's Day gift from you, nor am I giving you any chocolates on White Day out of some strange sense of obligation."
"But Hisoka..." Tsuzuki gave the other Shinigami his best set of puppy dog eyes. "You could at least open it."
"See aforementioned comment about my gender." Hisoka flipped open the casefile and did his best to ignore his partner.
"Even if you're not a girl..." Tsuzuki leaned over and whispered something into his ear, something that made Hisoka turn bright red and thwack Tsuzuki on top of his head with the sheaf of papers.
"I-Idiot!" he snarled, his cheeks stained crimson. "That has nothing to do with it!"
Tsuzuki just smiled. He had known better to refer to their bederoom activities, really he had, but the expected blush and stammering had been simply too tempting to ignore. "Just open the present," he wheedled.
"Fine, if it'll make you shut up," Hisoka snapped. He fished the box out of the trash can and tore the ribbon off, opening it to reveal a large heart made out of solid chocolate. "What on earth were you thinking?" he asked. "You know I don't really like sweets." Just the idea of eating that gigantic thing made him want to gag.
"You could share..." Tsuzuki suggested innocently.
"Share." Hisoka gave his partner a look. "By which you mean you bought it for me because you knew I wouldn't like it, and then you'd get to eat it, but that can't be considered your fault because you bought it for me."
Tsuzuki gave Hisoka his best winning smile.
Hisoka considered. While he was tempted to try to eat the candy anyway, just to show Tsuzuki how stupid he was being, he knew he wouldn't even get through a quarter of it before he was too sick to finish. He sighed and pushed it away. "Fine, then, have it."
"Sankyuu, Hisoka," Tsuzuki said brightly. He picked up the chocolate out of the box and started to eat with enthusiasm. In an attempt to ignore him, Hisoka picked up the wrapping to put it back in the trash can, then noticed there was more in the box.
He picked out a piece of paper, cream with golden edging, to find a gift certificate to his favorite restaurant. It was plenty large enough to feed two -- which meant that most likely, Tsuzuki had a nice evening planned.
"Hey, was there something else in there?" Tsuzuki asked, still trying to feign innocence.
"Idiot," Hisoka said, hiding his smile.
"Yeah," Tsuzuki agreed cheerfully, "But I'm *your* idiot."
