VERY VERY VERY LATE VALENTINE SPECIAL

"Sugar." Eren said

"Oh, here."

"What- oof!" Eren grunted when (Y/n) threw a sack bag at him.

Eren raised a brow at her and she just grinned at him. He placed the sack bag on the counter and slightly gasped when he opened it.

Inside the sack was full of sugar. Eren looked at (Y/n) with wide eyes.

"How?!" Eren exclaimed, making (Y/n) laugh.

"Secret!~" (Y/n) sang and giggled.

"Okay, we'll start with the choco- wait, where's the cacao?" (Y/n) asked and looked at Eren.

"Cacao? Oh! Hold on, wait here." Eren said and left the kitchen, leaving a confused (Y/n).

"Eh?"

Eren ran through the halls and went outside. He walked on the little set up he did behind HQ and removed a cloth that was covering a pot full of roasted cacao beans.

He already roasted the beans yesterday when (Y/n) was asleep after training and since he had a day off from training, he did it alone instead. He's definitely not shy about asking Mikasa or Armin for help. He got the job well done.

He did it behind HQ because he didn't want Sasha to smell the beans. He would be lying if he said it doesn't smell good. He was glad that he decided to ferment the beans for a week before roasting them.

Anyway, Eren started to walk back in, carefully so others won't see him holding a pot full of roasted beans.

Once he got back in the kitchen, he saw (Y/n) playing with a knife with a bored look on her face.

"(N/n), why are you playing with a knife?!" Eren exclaimed and quickly placed the pot down the counter to grab the knife away from her.

"You shouldn't play with a knife, you know?" Eren sighed and shook his head.

(Y/n) slumped her back and pouted.

"Aw, but you were taking too long! Plus, I'm good with a knife, chill." (Y/n) said and Eren deadpanned at her.

"Brother chill. Anyway, what's in the pot? Smells good." (Y/n) said and looked inside the pot.

"Whoa, you already did them!? Since when did you start making these?!" (Y/n) asked in surprise.

"Last week. I kind of got a head start so yeah." Eren said and rubbed his nape.

"All we need to do now is peel them and break it into pieces." Eren added.

"Actually, you peel them. After you peeled one, crumble it into pieces and place them here." (Y/n) said and placed a bowl next to the pot.

"While I make the biscuit for the pocky." (Y/n) said and pointed at the other recipes.

Both of them washed their hands clean first and dried them off before doing anything.

"Okay. What are these pocky you're saying anyways? It's my first time hearing them." Eren said as he started to peel the shell of the roasted beans.

"Pocky is a chocolate-coated biscuit stick. You'll love them." (Y/n) said with a smile.

(Y/n) place all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix them all together using a whisk.

"What about the other one? Pocky game?" Eren asked.

(Y/n) just giggled with a grin on her face, making Eren's brow knitted in confusion.

"Why are you giggling?" he asked, sweat formed in his temple.

"Oh nothing, nothing.~ You'll know what pocky game soon, don't worry.~" (Y/n) grins and places the butter in. She washed her hands again and dried them with a clean towel.
