Fruit, Gateau au Chocolat Manhua

Title: Fruit, Gateau au Chocolat Genre: Yaoi(BL) The air was thick with the aroma of freshly baked pastries as Kouki stepped into the quaint patisserie, a small box in hand. Hayato sat at their usual corner table, lost in thought, a slight frown creasing his brow. Kouki's heart fluttered at the sight, knowing that the box in his hand held the key to turning that frown upside down. Setting the box down on the table, Kouki couldn't contain his excitement. "I found it, Hayato. The most exquisite gateau au chocolat in all of Tokyo," he exclaimed, his eyes shining with anticipation. Hayato's gaze shifted from the book in his hands to the box before him, curiosity sparking in his eyes. With a gentle smile, Kouki opened the box to reveal a decadent slice of chocolate gateau, adorned with delicate swirls of cream and a dusting of cocoa powder. The sight took Hayato's breath away, a soft gasp escaping his lips. As they indulged in the rich dessert, a comfortable silence settled between them, punctuated only by the clink of forks against plates. The velvety chocolate melted on their tongues, filling their senses with a symphony of flavors that spoke volumes where words fell short. In that moment, Kouki saw a spark in Hayato's eyes, a glimmer of something unspoken yet profoundly felt. It was a silent acknowledgement of the bond that had blossomed between them, transcending mere friendship and skirting the edges of something deeper, more intimate. As the last crumbs of gateau disappeared, Kouki dared to voice what had been lingering unspoken between them for far too long. "Hayato, I... I care for you more than I can express in words. And I... I want you to know that you mean the world to me." Hayato's gaze met Kouki's, a myriad of emotions swirling in those deep, expressive eyes. And in that moment, amidst the lingering sweetness of chocolate on their lips, they both knew that their connection was something rare and beautiful—a delicate blend of flavors that only grew richer with each shared moment.
