Mondo and Taka had been friends for a while, they were closer then usual friends.
They hung out all the time, people first thought it'd be a honeymoon phase and sooner or later they'd separate a little more.
That never happened.
They'd been friends for two years now and still are in that "honeymoon".
Always hanging out, constantly getting along.
Everytime they saw each other they smiled and waved.
Mondo was getting less detentions because he was actually behaving now, Kiyotaka was relaxing. (VERY rarely though. But better then never..)
The two were like two peas in a pod.
Two birds of a feather.
It was, unnerving at times it course.
The constant "bro!".
But, third year, something happened between the two.

༺═──────────────═༻
"Oh my stars these were..more then I expected.."
Taka had been saving up money for years to buy something.
Something special.
He got all this money from summer jobs, doing tasks for teachers, and tudoring.
He got at least 200-400 every summer, but he would spend it on food, school supplies, and bus referrals to get to his dad's every other weekend.
He unfortunately blew through it all on neccesties.
Though, Kazichui suggested he'd buy the prefect's bus tickets since he also rode it every weekend.
The mechanic took weeks convincing the prefect to let him do it.
Once he was, though, Taka realized he could save for something special.
Something that might help him.
"Do you need help sir?"
A kind blonde haired women with a red white polka dot band around her hair asked in the store's work uniform, since Taka had been staring at prices for minutes.
"O-oh! Oh no no no I'm fine-! Just trying to work around my budget.."
"Alright, just call if you need assistance!"
She then walked away.
Kiyotaka was at a small market ran by a group of friends that sold hand-grown fruits, vegetables, flowers, plants..mostly nature related things.
He found where they kept their flowers and was admiring them.
There was one bundle, though, that he found perfect.
It was a basket of beautiful, fresh lavender.
The basket was woven and came with the flowers, and since there was a lot of the plant plus the basket, the price was quite high.
He finally decided, it would be it.
He grabbed the basket and walked up to the counter, where a extremely muscular young man with curly ginger hair was, sorting through papers.
"Pardon..?"
Taka asked, and then soon the employee noticed him and quickly put the papers down.
"Are you all checked out?"
The man nervously asked.
Taka nodded and placed the basket down, and the young man checked it out.
Taka payed and off he was with the basket of lavender.
It was spring so the air was nice and you could hear children playing in their yards.
The peaceful sound of life was soothing to the student.
He then looked at his watch, and then the basket.
He continued to walk to the bus stop, where Kazichui was as always.
"Dude! What's up?"
The pink haired upperclassmen smiled to the monitor.
"Hello, Souda."
Taka greeted the boy.
"Ooh! Someone's got flowers? What's the plans, huh? Never thought Sir Perfect would get hitting with someone."
Kaz winked, nudging the boy.
Kiyotaka huffed in annoyance.
"Ight ight, where you going? Your dad's again?"
"No, Hope's Peak today."
"Ight ight, know let's wait."

Taka carefully held the basket close to him, speed walking to his dorm.
He was trying to get there as fast as possible and so no one would see him.
He finally got to his dorm until he heard a familiar voice.
"Ayo, bro!!"
He looked behind his shoulder, and saw the man running up to him waving.
"Mondo! No running!"
The boy scolded.
"Fine, what's up? Haven't seen ya in a while!"
The biker chuckled.
"Nothing, stopped down to a market. Got myself something.."
Taka said, unlocking his dorm.
"Sick! What was it?"
Mondo asked, it was obvious the smaller boy was trying to hide something, but Mondo still asked in curiosity.
"Nothing- nothing important."
Taka asked, opening his dorm door.
Mondo huffed awkwardly, Taka was hiding something from him- and he didn't necessarily like it.
What could the boy be hiding?
Taka turned to the boy while swiftly hiding his arm behind his back.
"I have some work to do, friend, so unfortunately I cannot chat."
Taka smiled to the taller one,
"But once I'm done we can hang out and do what you want to make it up to you!"
Taka smiled.
Mondo nodded,
"Alright, cya."
He waved and Taka closed the door.
He quickly placed the basket on his desk.
"My Starclan, Taka you are HORRIBLE at hiding things.."
He facepalmed.
But it was okay, he got into his dorm without Mondo seeing it.
The boy huffed and looked at the calendar.
A certain day had a circle around it in red pen.
"Two more days."
Taka whispered.
He then turned to the basket and put it on the window sill.

Today was it.
Taka knew exactly what to do.
He had it planned and everything.

Step 1,
Make plans with Mondo.

Hello, bro! Are you free today? Sorry to bother.
( ・ั﹏・ั)

oh no ur good im free

Great! Could we maybe meet at the park? The cherry blossoms are in season and look amazing! (☆▽☆)

yea when

Maybe in a hour? Of course if it isn't too soon.

perfect see u there

Step 2,
Meet Mondo there.

Taka waited on the bench, the basket had a beautiful red bow out of ribbon on the handle with a card tied to it, dangling in the wind.
The prefect tapped his foot, waiting silently.
He heard footsteps and quickly hid the basket under the bench.
"Bro!"
Mondo waved and shouted to the boy.
"Ah, bro!"
Taka waved in return.
The biker ran up to the bench and sat next to Kiyotaka.
"What's up?"
"Nothing important or worth telling."
"Eh, yeah."
Taka then inhaled, reaching under the bench.
Mondo made a noise of surprise.
His face grew red when he saw Taka pull up a woven basket full to the brim with delicately displayed, beautiful and fluorescent lavender.
"I thought you'd might like this, it is June 9th, yes?"
Taka looked the boy in the eyes.
Mondo suddenly widened his eyes,
"Uh, yeah.."
"Then,"
Taka cleared his throat.
"Happy birthday, Mondo!"
Kiyotaka held the basket and motioned it to Mondo.
The taller man took the basket with hesitance.
He plucked the card off of the ribbons.

Mondo!

Happy birthday, my friend!

I hope you enjoy the gift, it was quite costly.

But no pressure, I hope you enjoy the flowers!

Cheesy? Yes.

Predictable? I sure hope not-!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy today!

Love, your best friend,
Kiyotaka! (*˘︶˘*).。*♡

Mondo's mouth was agap.
Kiyotaka nervously fiddled with his fingers,
"Do...do you like it?"
He whispered.
Mondo slowly closed the card and looked at the basket, his face a saturated red.
"UH, YEAH IT'S GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH-!"
The boy could only shout.
Taka lightly giggled, then looked Mondo in the eyes with that smile.
That damn smile..
Mondo thought, biting his lip.
He could feel his heart beating at an extreme speed, his palms sweaty as fuxk.
"UH, UH TAKA- I KINDA- HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU-."
Mondo thought,
Well fuxk it might as well.
"Mhm, go on?"
Taka nodded.
"A-ARE YOU FREE TO G-GO OU-OUT ON A DATE THIS WEEKEND?!"
Mondo stammered, his heartbeat going (surely in a unhealthy way) extreme fast.
"O-oh-!"
Taka was taken off guard, but he only smiled.
"Yes, I'd love that."
