when sqh buys pocky on 11/11, he's not thinking of anything besides wanting a snack; he's been studying in the lab with mbj for hours.
he misses the cashier's wink and wide smile at him as he counts change for his strawberry flavored pocky.
he only has sights for opening his pocky and misses the couples walking by doing the same thing and finally, he's back in the library with mbj.
mbj's eyes immediately zero in on the pocky. sqh sits back down across from him with a sigh.
"this is so boring," he complains, finally opening the packaging.
mbj doesn't respond and sqh thinks nothing of it. he carelessly chooses a pocky stick, and it turns out it's one that broke in half. /broken pocky is still pocky/ he thinks to himself with a shrug and puts the stick in his mouth.
before he can munch on the pocky, mbj is suddenly leaning over the table, thin lips opened wide and he chomps on the other end of the pocky.
sqh stares into ice blue eyes in shock, unsure what to do next.
and then their lips are touching, more like a brush of skin against skin but sqh /feels/ it all the way down to his toes. his eyes remain open, even as mbj's close and all he can think is /he tastes like strawberries./
when mbj pulls away, eyes opening slowly, the only evidence the spontaneous kiss affected him is the light dusting of red across his upper cheekbones. he clears his throat.
"happy pocky day."
