the afternoon came by fast as baji slept on the couch while aiichiro tries to finish as much homework as she possibly. looking at the clock infront of her, she stood up and went to wake him up.

the boy groaned, turning around the other way while his eyes open slowly. he sat up and had his eyes followed her to the kitchen. she grabs him a cup of water to drink after a long nap.

"i'll go get ready-" turning her heels to the other direction, she felt his hand grabbing onto her wrist. she turns her head to him as his expression showed a little bit of shyness in it.

baji grabs the bag that he brought over with him for her. he pushes the paper bag to her face, shielding his own for her to not see his ears turning a little red. aiichiro only looks at him, clueless as to what the bag was for.

"its your present.." he spoke up. the sounds of the paper bag crumbling from the sides echoed the room as she grabs onto it.

his gaze slowly looks at her, which resulted in his eyes to grew wide and his face to warm up. she had a soft expression, not like she never did, but at that time it was the softest. her smile was wide and genuine as her eyes, filled with love, innocence and pure happiness, shines from his sweet gesture. her cheeks had a tint of pink.

"thank you very much, baji-kun." she said, gentle and soft before heading into her room to change. the black hair male only sat still as the image earlier continues to repeat in his mind.

"man, im so whipped for her." he covers his face with his hands, looking down to the wooden flooring. his heart skipping a beat every time the image appears.

after awhile, she comes out of her room.

"im ready, lets go!" she said with alot of excitement in her tone.

"wait for me, i need to grab the bag." baji told her as he rushed to her room to grab the same brown paper bag that he gave to her earlier.

kneeling down to wear her shoes, a large piece of fabric wrapped around her shoulders. she quickly stood up and turns around as he stood there, smiling with his hands behind his back.

"you didn't open the bag.. so i decided to open it for you and help you wear it." he apologized, showing the paper bag that was now empty and hollow.

aiichiro scans sweater as it felt familiar to something, to which she looks at his jacket. it had the same design, black background with white-lined squares. the girl proceeds to wear the sweater as it drop and covered until half of her thighs.

baji observed, trying his best not to spurt out at how cute she looks to him. he brought her to the venue, where he took so much effort on. her eyes became droopy since the sweater was so comfortable and that hugging her boyfriend made it feel more comforting.

took him awhile to reach the place, parking the motorbike and they were all set to walk to the special venue.

aiichiro kept rubbing her eyes after trying her best not to sleep throughout the ride because if she does then she would probably fall off and die. her boyfriend held onto her hand as to guide her sleepy state to their dinner place.

"its been awhile, are we there yet?" she yawned then wonder her eyes around, staring at the trees that blocked the moonlight from shining pass. the scary dark atmosphere had her shiver but she knew everything would be alright as long as there is baji there to stand beside her. 

they soon came into a halt, aiichiro bumped herself to his back as she didn't noticed him stopped walking. she apologized as he pulls her to stand side by side. he told her to look forward and she did, and oh did she not regret doing so.

it was absolutely stunning. a big tree way at the corner, standing tall as the cold wind brush against every leaf. the moonlight shining on that circle area and that area only as the pond in the center reflects the light and glows. the many different beautiful flowers decorating the smooth cement ground, making it look more colorful. she couldn't believe her eyes, it felt like it came straight out of a fairytale. it felt ethereal.

aiichiro continues to admire the place, looking around as every glance she took, it got more gorgeous. baji took the opportunity to quickly grab something from the other side of where she was standing. he runs back to her, tapping her shoulder to gain her attention.

"for you.." he pulled out a bouquet that wasn't too small and wasn't too large either. the beautiful red amaryllis flower and yellow coreopsis flower had such a pretty contrast to each other, adding in the light purple and light blue hydrangea flowers. 

she took it into her hands, now she has something else to  admire about up-close. the male felt his ears warming up as he tries not to show it. making effort to hide his red ears, his lover held his wrist and drag him to where the pond was. she looks down to the pretty pond as the small fishes swim from one corner to the other, water lilies blocking their path as they couldn't see through the dark.

after for some time chatting and mostly looking around, they decided to head back to their homes. sending her back to her place, she continues to look at the bouquet as she suddenly humming a sweet tune, to which he only listens to and not disrupt her.

she got off the motorbike and stood infront of baji to bid him a 'goodnight' but he suddenly pulled her in for a hug. his hand supporting her back as he noticed that she was close to tripping when he pulled her to him. he soon pulled away after a few seconds.

"i decided.. that in a few years in time, people will be calling you mrs. baji. and i will do anything for that to happen, whether it'll kill me or not.." he blurted out all of the sudden. the girl only laughed at his words before looking at him with sincerity in her eyes.

"you should say that when we're atleast together for about more than a year. now is too early." she said before hiding her face behind the flowers that she couldn't help letting go off. 

baji nodded, the corner of his lips lifting up as a smile forms on his face. the two separated as he head back to his place. all he could think of was her, as if that doesn't happen often. he smiled like a creep as the engine growled loudly.

also, thanks to mitsuya for helping him with the flowers and decorations. the boy nearly panicked, thinking he lost the bouquet but thankfully mitsuya was there before them to do some last minute touch-ups and he had it in his hand since he didn't like how a delicate bunch of flowers that was to be gifted to a delicate young lady is just lying down on the dirty cement floor.
