Chocolate Box 2022

[schadenfreudere]

Dear Chocolatier:

O M G it's 2022. Already. Where did 2021 go? This is my first year signing up for Chocolate Box, but one of my resolutions is writing more consistently, so here we are.

Below are my Do Not Wants, as well as a few suggestions. I am an absolute sucker for shippy things from vanilla to spicy, so just do what sparks joy!

With your comfort in mind, my NSFW Likes/Do Not Wants are on a separate link.

Thank you for participating!

Warm Regards,
sakuramacaron

Pretty Boy Detective Club/Bishounen Tanteidan
I love nisioisin series, especially for the witty monologues and dialogues, but the theme of creating memories you can look back on fondly instead of cringing really struck a chord.

Doujima Mayumi/Soutouin Manabu

• Going on a fake date as reconnaissance (dressed up or not)
• Dancing under the stars
• Years after they've left school behind, the two reunite and reminisce

Doujima Mayumi/Fudatsuki Lai

• Lai and Mayumi meet up for another chat
• Mayumi hangs out with Lai at the casino after hours
• Playing a game with Lai (with or without cheating)

Doujima Mayumi/Fudatsuki Lai/Soutouin Manabu
The only specific situation I'd like to avoid for this pairing is jealousy on Manabu's side, since he seems really unbothered and encouraging regarding Mayumi continuing to engage with Lai. It's refreshing, let's keep it that way.

• Playing a no-stakes game together without cheating
• Lai gets dragged to the Detective Club's room
• Lai and Manabu team up to surprise Mayumi
