3rd PoV

Yahaba always had the same routine for Sundays, the rest of the week could have been a piece of shit, but Sunday was always his reset day. It all started with a simple walk around the neighborhood.

Yahaba put in his headphones and started walking down the sidewalk. It was only a half-mile around his block, so time flew by.

As he took his final turn onto his street, he saw other people who had begun to walk their dogs or get the mail. Everyone was saying hi to each other and greeting one another. Yahaba made sure to be friendly. He said hi to Mr. Sakori and Mr. Usui. He even stopped by Mrs. Isaka, who was outside watering her garden. Yahaba just said hello, but Mrs. Isaka decided to discuss her week instead.

"Oh hi sonny, how are you? I had a great week. My roses are even shining with joy."

"Thats great! I am doing ok. Later today, Í' going to go to the flower shop around town. I was going to pick up some snapdragons!"

"I was just around there yesterday. I picked up some beautiful tulips. They were in this grand old pot. But I could not carry them, so a young man working there said that he could deliver them to my house today. He is inside right now."

"Oh, you should probably go check on them. Who knows, maybe theý'restealing your stuff. Normally people don't go inside people's houses without the homeowners keeping an eye on them, you know."

"Oh please, Yahaba. He was a fine and trustworthy young man. I'm sure you two would get along just fine."

"Do you think I could wait around and meet him?"

"Of course, just only if you help me get the thorns of these darn roses."

Yahaba then helped the old lady in her garden, planting and cutting off little thorns. After Yahaba had gotten pricked with a thorn that he did not see for the third time, his hands and arms were a bit bloody. He asked Mrs. Isaka if he could go inside and put on some band-aids. She said that it was fine, and Yahaba went inside. He had been in Mrs. Isaká'shouse before, when he needed to use the bathroom after a jog or if she had made some brownies that she could not finish. He made his way to the bathroom where the band-aids were. He was surprised that the door across from the bathroom was open, and there was someone in there. It had to be the boy who brought in the tulips for Mrs. Isaka, but why had it taken him this long? It was just a few flowers.

Yahaba poked his head inside the room where the boy was. Yahaba then saw an atrocious sight. The room had carpeted floors trashed with mud and dirt and tulip petals, and on top of it all, Kyoutani was trying to pick off the dirt piece by piece. He looked like he was having a nervous breakdown because of the mess. Yahaba knocked on the door frame. Kyuotani's eyes had glued shut, and he started talking fast.

"I'm so sorry, Mrs. Isaka, I dropped the pot with the tulips. The dirt got everywhere. I was trying to clean it before you came inside so you would not give me a bad review and get me fired from a job I got yesterday!"

"Calm down, Mad dog, it's just me."

"Oh, what the fuck are you doing here."

"Getting band-aids for the holes in my hands and arms."

"Oh, when you finish that, help me pick up this dirt."

"I don't have to do anything for you. I could go tell Mrs. Isaka that you ruined her carpets."

"Fine, fine, I'll do it myself, but please don't tell Mrs. Isaka about this. It will only take like 15 more minutes to clean up."

Yahaba walked back to the bathroom and disinfected his cuts. He put on his band-aids and thought about going back outside but instead went to find something from the hall closet. 

Yahaba went back to the room where Kyoutani was in and knocked on the door frame once again.

Kyoutani's head shot up. He saw Yahaba standing next to a vacuum.

"Oh! Thank fucking god, creampuff."

"No problem Mad-dog."

They vacuumed up the mess and went outside together to see Mrs. Isaka.

"Oh, there you two boys are. I was getting worried about you guys. Is my tulip safe and sound?"

"Yup! The tulip is in its spot."

"Oh! Thank you so much, deary, it was too big for me to carry to my house."

"It was no problem Mrs. Isaka"

"Ah wonderful, oh I almost forgot here is your tip," Mrs. Isaka handed Kyoutani some money and turned her attention to Yahaba, "Did you find the band-aids? How are your arms?"

"I found them no problem. I'll be good as new by Wednesday."

"Alright. Well, I'll see you two boys soon, ok?"

Kyoutani and Yahaba both nodded and waved and started heading up the road.

Yahaba turned to his driveway. But Kyoutani grabbed him by the wrist. "Wait up for a second," said Kyoutani.

"What's up?"

"Here," Kyoutani handed Yahaba the money from Mrs. Isaka, "I would have been fucked if not for you."

"Splitsies?"

"No, if you're offering, I'll take it all," Kyoutani grabbed the money and started walking back down the road. Yahaba just stood there awe-struck at the other.

Oh fuck, Yahaba thought, tomorrow is Monday.
