Takahashi Keisuke pulled his yellow RX-7 into a parking space, switched off the engine and reached behind to get his parka on the back seat. He put the heavy jacket on and sighed when his stomach growled in hunger. "Later," he told himself, "you can eat later. Maybe get Takeshi to go somewhere and get something to eat."

His stomach growled again, as if in protest. Groaning, Keisuke opened the glove compartment and after some searching, he found a bar of chocolate he remembered that he had bought two days ago; apparently he had stored it in the car and had forgotten all about it.

Keisuke tucked the bar of chocolate into his pocket, stepped out of the car and locked it. He then walked to the office building where Takeshi worked, occasionally shivering in the cold winter breeze. Once he reached the building, he leaned against the wall near the entrance and resigned himself to wait. Takeshi had to work late again, and he may have to wait for quite a long time.

His stomach growled again for the third time that night. "All right," Keisuke grumbled as he reached inside his pocket for the bar of chocolate. He peeled off the aluminium foil wrapping and took a large bite. He chewed slowly, savouring the rich flavour of the dark chocolate. He was about to take a second bite when he heard Takeshi's voice.

"How long have you been standing there?" Takeshi asked as he stepped out of the doorway.

"Takeshi!" Keisuke greeted happily. He walked to where Takeshi stood and embraced his lover, kissing Takeshi noisily on one cheek.

"Oi!" Takeshi protested, blushing and squirming in Keisuke's arms.

"Oops," Keisuke muttered in apology, seeing the mark the chocolate on his lips had made on Takeshi's cheek. "Hey, this looks like lipstick!" he exclaimed, gently fingering his chocolate-stained lip prints on his lover's face. He grinned as Takeshi's cheeks turned even redder. Takeshi was so fun to tease, since he blushed easily and was adorable when he did.

Takeshi slipped his hand into his pocket, took out a handkerchief and wiped the chocolate mark on his face. "You eat just like a little boy," Takeshi grumbled affectionately as he gently cleaned off the chocolate smeared on Keisuke's mouth. "Messy."

Keisuke pouted, making Takeshi laugh. "You want to go somewhere and get something to eat?" he asked.

Takeshi nodded. "Yeah," he replied, "I'm hungry." He looked at the chocolate bar in Keisuke's hands. "Can I have some of that?"

"You can have anything in the world you want," Keisuke replied, breaking off a piece of the chocolate. "Here," he said, holding the piece of chocolate up to Takeshi's mouth. "Open wide."

Takeshi opened his mouth obediently and let Keisuke feed him. "Come on," he said as he chewed, at the same time reaching out to hold Keisuke's hand.

Keisuke smiled and grasped Takeshi's hand a little bit tighter. The two young men then walked to the car, still holding hands as the first few snowflakes of the night fell down in a gentle swirl from the skies.
