Short Ishimondo Valentine's fic. Enjoy.

~~~

The kitchen smelled smokey, and the air was thick with black clouds. The smoke detector wailed without mercy as Ishimaru fanned at it with an old magazine from the table. His eyes stung with smoke and tears welled up, although that could also be attributed to his endless failures in the kitchen that night.

Once the haze had cleared, he wiped his eyes and checked the time on the wall. His heartbeat quickened when he saw that he only had 40 minutes until Oowada said we would arrive... and dinner was no where near ready. And it was no where near ready 30 minutes ago when he fail at a different dish. The kitchen was an absolute mess, and so was Ishimaru, his apron drenched in sauce and he arms dusty with numerous spices. The garbage was filled with food, blackened and of questionable origin. It seemed, as much as Ishimaru had studied all the cookbooks in his home... perhaps he was not cut out for cooking.

He heaved a shaky sigh, tears insisting they fall, and looked in the fridge. He had already used most of the available ingredients, and buying new ingredients was out or the question at this point, due to time constraints and the fact that his family didn't exactly have a lot of extra spending money. He frowned as he took note of the lack of food, and pulled out a package of sliced ham and a bag of frozen hashbrowns... This...this was not a romantic dinner... He tossed them bot back in the fridge.

He had made such a big deal at school that day about how he would prepare something special for Valentine's day.. but every attempt he made failed horribly. He looked at the clock. 35 minutes. There was no way he was going to come up with something suitable in time... maybe he should just call Oowada and cancel--

There was a knock at the door.

Ishimaru looks up at the front door... oh no. Was he.. early? Oh, the one time he wouldn't mind him being a little late, he had to arrive early. He pulled off the dirty apron and wiped his arms down, hurrying to the door as the knocks persisted, getting impatient. The door swung open halfway through another knock, Oowada's hand almost colliding with Ishimaru's face, but he stopped himself in time.

"Uh, hey! 'm early. Hope ya don't mind. Uh.. shit, 'course ya don't mind." He chuckled, remembering who exactly it was he was talking to.

"O-of course.. Thank you for coming." Ishimaru greeted. Oowada looked down at him.

"You, uh... you got something on yer shirt." he pointed to the very dark streak on Ishimaru's clean white dress shirt. The hall monitors eyes widened in distress.

"Oh goodness!! I had an apron on and everything! Let me get changed, come inside! I'm so sorry!!" Ishimaru said as he scrambled away and up the stairs to his bedroom. Oowada slid into the house, closing the door behind him. He walked into the dining room and noticed the very obvious stench of burnt food. Walking into the room further, he caught a glimpse of the trash can over flowing with charred, smoking food. He soon heard footsteps stomping quickly down the stairs again, and Ishimaru joined him in the dining room, wearing what looked to be the exact same shirt, just clean. That wasn't surprising, though. Ishimaru was known to have a thousand copies of everything.

"So. How's dinner comin' along?" Oowada's question brought back Ishimaru's deep frown.

"M-my apologies... I tried.. But..." he broke away from Ooowada's gaze, "...we'll have to cancel out plans." Ishimaru had hoped that if he turns far enough, Oowada wouldn't notice the tears in his eye that just made their comeback.

"Cancel?? What the hell-- I just got here!"

"I'm sorry! I promised you dinner but.. I couldn't do it! I need to get better but I can't in the time it'll take to get dinner ready so... W-we have to cancel!!" Ishimaru sniffled his gaze shamefully locked on the floor as his  sobs shook his body. He soon felt a hand on his shoulder, looking up the see Oowada, leaning down to eye level.

"Listen. I don't care if you messed up supper. S' not important."

"Yes it is! This was...", Ishimaru protested, his face lightning up in a bright shade of pink, "..This was supposed to be special."

"Tch.. dinner ain't gonna make tonight special you idiot." Ishimaru frowned and looked up at him, upset with the sudden name calling. So upset in fact it took him a moment to notice the blush on Oowada's face, matching his own.

"It's special 'cause we're together!" He said.. a little bit loudly. Ishimaru blinked in confusion.

"But... All of the magazines said dinner was the most important part of a Valentine's date..." He looked down at the magazine in his hand, only briefly before Oowada grabbed it an tossed it aside. Before Ishimaru could complain, his words were stopped when Oowada pressed his lips against his. Ishimaru squeaked in surprised and stared into his eyes even long after the kiss had ended.

"..That's what Valentine's Day is about. Y'know.. Love." His voice shook nervously, it betrayed his tough nature.. but it made Ishimaru smile.

"Haha.. Of course." He jumped up, pecking Oowada on the lips in return.

"I love you too, Mondo-kun."

Series Swap - Ishimondo week

Black Rock Shooter

While this swap isn't as thought out as the other ones, I felt like this wouldn't be too bad of a swap.

Ishimaru and Oowada are best friends, and just like Mato and Yuu in blackrock, their otherselves fight in the Otherworld. Ishimaru's otherself was born from his desire to bring wrongdoer's to justice. Insane BRS is Ishida, essentially.

Sorry I don't have more to say, It's been a while since i watched the anime. I've had this drawing sitting around for a while and when i heard this was coming up decided to post it. Anyone is welcome to be smarter than me and flesh this out better.
