This is my first try writing this series and definitely a different writing style for me, so hopefully it makes sense. I love Okazaki and Nagisa and although it is short, I'm planning to give them a longer story soon :)

I do not own Clannad or any of the characters. Also, I haven't played the visual novel so I apologize for any discrepancies.

The heart-shape of the confection along with her softly blushing cheeks led me to conclude I had just received my first honemi choco.

Shimmering eyes turned nervous as the silence stretched on. "I understand if you… if you're-"

You deserve better…

I grabbed her fingers before she could slip away, pulling her

close enough to feel her chest rise and fall, eyes locked, unblinking.

But far be it for me…

"Arigato, Nagisa." Gently I pressed against her lips, lingering only a moment before withdrawing. Surprise blossomed into delight as she launched herself at me, eyes now filled with happy tears.

A/N - in Japan, it is tradition for girls to give chocolate on Valentines day. Giri choco is what you give to your boss or co-workers, but honmei choco is what you give the guy you're serious about. If you've watched enough anime, you should already know this :)
