[Modern!AU] Kissing Booths [Hanji x Reader]

It was the usual sights that could be associated with this holiday. The sights of people whispering sweet nothings to their loved ones, some receiving love in return and others lost on an island of rejection and surrounded by a sea of their own self-pity.

The colors of pink, red, and white clashed together to form some type of love-sick stew of colors. Along with the physical aspects, there was the sweet smell of fresh scratch made chocolate boiling not far off from where you were stationed.

The sugary, drool inducing smell in the air was enough to make your stomach grumble. You had been standing here for hours, without any sign of someone you recognized. Someone you could beg to bring you food. Just a little.

Lost in thought, you lazily leaned your head against the counter. Chocolate sounded really good right now. The work that went along with setting up the event made it impossible for you to get gifts from your friends that day. And, from a certain someone.

“Yahoo! [Name]!” You froze. Quickly, scanning around for that voice. That oh-so-familiar voice that seemed to appear wherever you may be. There was no way you were going to let that person see you like this. She would never let it go. You lowered yourself behind the booth, just so the top of your head and eyes were visible, but it was too late. “[Name]-chan!”

Not far off, there was a brunette girl waving her arms eccentrically in the air, her tied brunette hair bouncing behind her while she pranced towards your direction. You stood to greet your excitable girlfriend. Just as she was in range, she threw her arms around your neck and nearly flipped you over the counter with a windpipe crushing hug.

“H-Hanji!” you gasped. You tried to push her off of your neck before you fell under from the lack of oxygen. Failing to pry her off of you, you let Hanji have her way with strangling you before she finally let go. Your face left red from the need for precious air in your lungs and the invasion of personal space by the brunette. Not that you necessarily minded when it came to her.

With a grin that only Hanji could manage to pull off, she leaned to eye-level with you and slowly took in your appearance. Your face darkened. She was too close.“[Name]~ What are you up to?” she asked inquisitively.

“People watching...” you chuckled. The girl nodded in understanding, yet she still seemed unconvinced by your unusually festive attire. You forced yourself to remain nonchalant during her investigation, deciding to take the time to eye her in the process. Then, you noticed that she was wearing the exact same uniform, except for the badge that read “confectionary”,

“Aren't you supposed to be in charge of making chocolate?” you blurted out, although you meant to think instead, but your tongue decided to draw her attention to you instead of your frilly-pink clothing.

Her mouth immediately widened into a smile. Excitement was glistening in those two hazelnut colored eyes from the mere chance at answering the question. You knew from experience that when Hanji had that glint in her eyes, which happened very often especially during chemistry, that she was thinking of an experiment...

“I was!” she cheered before her face suddenly transformed into an ecstatic expression. “Then, I had this amazing idea-” Her voice was hoarse and giddy. She folded her hands together in front of her face. She chortled excitedly.

“Oh, boy,” you thought.

“You know what they say [Name]. Science was born in the kitchen. So, I thought, what if we added Capsaicin from the chemistry lab into the recipe?” she explained, reenacting every small hand gesture she had when she first had the idea. “We could sell the chocolate for a higher price, then it would make your tongue tingle when ever you ate some!”

You nodded, despite not having much clue what she was talking about. You watch the brunette pace back and forth as she continued her thought process.  Listening to her story, you somewhat drew a conclusion to what Hanji was babbling on about. “Capsaicin... Isn't that from chilli peppers that makes your mouth burn?”

“Exactly!” Hanji stopped and shuffled back to you, obviously impressed you were still listening to her. She grabbed onto your shoulders excitedly and shook. “It would be a mixture of spicy and sweet. I even drove to the school to get some, but when I came back that shorty told me to 'Get lost, shitty glasses. We don't need your weird chocolate creations. You might poison somebody.'” The girl finally released you and went back to sulking in her thoughts. She threw her hands into the air. “If chocolate can have phenylethylamine, why not Capsaicin or any other compound?”

You chuckled at her antics. “I don't think that sounds quite right, Hanji.” You secretly thanked the gods that Levi manage to catch her before anyone got sick, even if it made you upset that your her imagination was down played. You'd be sure to thank and kill him later.

You were to busy with your thoughts to notice said girl pulling out some wrapped pocky from her purse and holding it out. “But, I saved some just for you, [Name]~“ she cooed.

You inspected the chocolate pocky stick suspiciously, not wanting anything to do with another one of Hanji's experiments, especially after the last one. But, that's a story for later. The breaded stick was covered in the cooled chocolate.

It resembled pocky seen at the store, except the chocolate was a blaring color of red. The kind that reminded you of fire, and fire reminded you of heat. The type of heat that would require a gallon of milk to deviate. “I can't, Hanji. I'm... on a diet.”

The brunette frowned and suddenly her voice took a more serious tone. “But, you're perfectly fine looking to me, [Name]! Especially in that uniform. Besides, a little chocolate doesn't hurt anyone, and I saved it just for you.” She said, coming on more forceful about her creation.

“No-No! It's really okay!”

"What am I supposed to get you for Valentine's Day then. I made this whole plan to surprise you with my new creation!"

You just chuckled and then said the first thing that came to your mind. It was amazing how single minded you had become when it came to standing behind a kissing booth all evening. “H-How about a kiss instead?” She seemed to like your idea better, because she all too eagerly agreed and rushed at a chance to kiss you.

Smooth lips met with your own. It much resembled two guppies eating each others faces rather than a kiss. That thought was thrown away and so was the face that you were in public.

The two of you left fleeting kisses on each others lips. Leaving each others feel temporarily before smacking your lips back together at a completely new angle. She captured your bottom lip  between her own plump, pink tissue and bit down. Her teeth gently scraped the delicate skin of your lip. Rather than worrying about the slight pleasurable pain that erupted when she bit down harder, you focused on the pleasure of her slick tongue running against the bruised area.

She pulled away from you again. Both of you swallowed a quick intake of air before meeting again, except you met her tongue with yours this time before meeting her lips. The slick soldier invaded your mouth, and left a tingling sensation against every warm crevice it explored. There was a strange sensation left in your mouth, much less the sensation. The feeling of your skin tingling against her tongue while it continued to ravage and explore your mouth was mind-boggling.

It was more of the taste than the feeling. The taste of chocolate, but with the overbearing flavor of different spices. It wasn't necessarily bad. More like overwhelming. Maybe, it was the fact that you practically had each others tongue down one anothers throat each time you kissed. It was quickly becoming to much along with the fact the two of you were beginning to draw a crowd. A mostly male crowd.

You broke away from her with a gasp, panting slightly for air. Hanji, being the eccentric she was, seem to have no need for this product that humans called oxygen, which was apparent from her amused smile. You licked your lips tentatively, reminding yourself of the flavor of Hanji's mouth. The sweet, yet burning taste, and the tingling sensation that followed it. “W-Why does your mouth taste so spicy?”

“Oh, that? I had to try the finished product of course! What kind of scientist would I be if I didn't?” she set her fist on her hips and laughed triumphantly, nearly causing you to groan in displeasure right then and there. Mainly, from the mix of chocolate and various, un-complimenting, spices in your mouth. Though, you didn't have the mindset to tell her that she might have created a mild aphrodisiac rather than a new flavor.

“On a serious note, [Name],” she whispered in your ear, “Will you be my Valentine?”

"Isn't that obvious?"

Hanji clapped her hands together while a high-pitched squee left her lips. “Now, ditch the shorty and come with me.” She winked and grabbed your hand. She lead you towards the parking lot and away from the crowd of people, leaving you to ask exactly where were you going. “We're going to have some fun~”

Suddenly, you forgot your grumbling stomach...
