"You know," Hyuga said after a while, "in Japan, Valentine's Day is different than how I've noticed things are in America. Here, the men buy the women chocolates and gifts, but back home, it's the women that give chocolate to the men they like."
Rafael laughed. "Are you saying I'm the girl then, since I got you chocolate?"
"I suppose so," Hyuga smiled infectiously. "But I'll take your chocolate as a honmei-choco, and you can expect this favor returned on White Day this year."*
The two kissed again, Rafael chuckling into Hyuga's lips.
"I'll be looking forward to it," he said.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Rafael."
"Happy Valentine's Day to you, too, babe."

* Author's Note: "Honmei-choco," (literally meaning "true-feeling chocolate) is chocolate given by women to men in Japan on Valentine's Day. Honmei-choco is only given to a man that the giver has romantic feelings for, including a husband or boyfriend. The gift of honmei-choco is usually reciprocated on March 14, White Day, when men give presents to women.
I am fascinated by the Japanese culture references in the story. I would very much like if you continued this, let us know how Hyuga and Rafael met, how come Rafael knows Japanese, etc...
