Flowers pt.1~🌸

 A/N: I have trans Kaoru brain rot, so I decided to write trans Kaoru. This is also likely to have a few parts to it as well.

Kojiro had just turned five and was ready for his first day of school. He wondered if he would make any friends, and hoped that someone would like him. He remembered his nonna had told him that giving flowers to his friends would strengthen their bond, now all he had to do was make a friend. It's never too hard for a five-year-old to make friends, but Kojiro was feeling nervous. He was always told that he was annoying by his sisters and he didn't want to seem that way to anyone else.

Still, Kojiro made his way to school with his mum, gripping her hand tightly as they made their way through the front gate. Kojiro's eyes widened when he saw the number of other children running around, feeling smaller than ever when he saw that most of them were much bigger than him. He took a deep breath and looked around at the other kids around his age, wondering which one would be his new best friend.

"Koji," his mum whispered, leaning down slightly. "You're going to do so well today, I just know it."

Kojiro smiled and nodded before his eyes landed on a girl with pink hair. Or, Kojiro thought they were a girl. They were wearing the boys uniform, but their pink hair was down to their shoulders and held back with pretty clips that Kojiro's sisters would wear, and their face was definitely more feminine.

He didn't know what made him so focused on the girl, but Kojiro tried to get as close to her as possible as they lined up to go into the classroom. He hardly remembered saying goodbye to his mum because he was looking at the girl with pink hair. Kojiro noticed that a much older man was with the girl, and maybe the appearance of the man is what made Kojiro focus on them. The man was wearing a simple waistcoat and trousers, and Kojiro found it funny. He wasn't used to seeing people dressed like that, especially not at a school.

Soon, Kojiro's class went inside the school building, led by a nice man in casual clothing. He introduced himself as Matsuno-sensei, and the whole class instantly fell in love with his humour. Well, nearly all of the class. Kojiro noticed that the pink-haired girl was standing away from Matsuno-sensei and that he had a worried look on his face. Kojiro shrugged before focusing again on what his teacher was saying, knowing that his parents would scold him if they found out he wasn't paying attention.

"Right, then," Matsuno-sensei said once he finished introducing the class to everything. "Find a buddy and we can start the tour of the school."

Kojiro watched as the others looked at each other with wide eyes and soon enough, nearly everyone was holding hands and smiling at their buddy. Kojiro was one of the last few people who wasn't partnered up and smiled a little when he saw that the pink-haired girl was also without a partner. He quickly went over to her before anyone else could and gripped her hand.

"What are you doing?" The girl hissed, her narrowed eyes directed at Kojiro and a small shiver ran through Kojiro's body.

But Kojiro didn't stop smiling, nor did he move away from the girl. Instead, he loosened his grip on the girl's hand and scratched his head.

"My name's Nanjo Kojiro," he said loudly. "What's yours?"

The girl gave him another glare before sighing. "Sakurayashiki, and you're too loud. Go away."

Kojiro's smile faltered slightly but became strong again when he realised that everyone already had a partner. He proudly declared this fact to Sakurayashiki, who just frowned and crossed her arms over her chest.

"You're really pretty," Kojiro blurted out as the two of them walked around the school with the rest of their class.

Sakurayashiki frowned and looked away, and she seemed to look sad, which surprised Kojiro. "You think I'm pretty?" Sakurayashiki asked in a serious tone.
