A Primrose Promise.

Botany

What? Why was this happening? The blood and petals seeped into the toilet, if he didnt do something about it quickly, it might stain. Aiko grabbed a fistful of petals and blood. The blood oozed down his hand but he didn't care. He couldn't identify the flowers, which bothered him. He let the blood trickle off his hand back into the toilet bowl and threw the flowers in, all except four petals; which he had grasped in his hand. He flushed the toilet and wiped his hands. He washed the four petals and arranged them to look like a full flower. He went back to his room, flower arrangement in hand. He steadily walked over to his phone. Three notifications. Aiko checked to see that two of them were from Haru, one from Liam. Aiko didn't bother to see Liam's, he knew that his energy to check his boyfriends Snapchat and to finally answer was soon to return to him, just not at the moment. He opened his and Haru's texts to reply to the unread messages. He shoved the small flower arrangement into his pocket.

So whatcha doing?

Haru<3
I'm assuming you left-

-Now-
Hey I'm sorry but you are right, I did leave and honestly, I have to go for a while longer- I'm going to a friend's house, but thanks for talking with me!!

Aiko let out a big breath. He knew that his good friend Mei Yatoyo would know just what to do. He didn't wait for a response from Haru, he shoved his phone into his other pocket and pushed his brown hair out of his eyes. They sparkled bright blue and purple in the sunlight. You could tell he was ready due to the look of determination which echoed throughout them; that and the small hint of fear for what was to come.

Aiko: Dad!! I'm going to Mei's house-

Aiko's Dad: Sure bu-

Aiko scrammed down the stairs and out of the house before anything else could be added to the but, he slammed the door behind him a little too hard. Oh no, his dad would surely be fuming when he came back- He wasn't supposed to slam doors. Oh well- What matters is that right now, he needed to desperately go see Mei. Mei was always there for him, she was also a Botanist. She had books upon books about flowers and there was no doubt in Aiko's brain that she could identify the flower he had previously thrown up.

He shut the door slightly behind him as he hurried down the street. His pace growing faster with every growing second. He knew for a fact that Mei only lived a small ways away, maybe a half block to a full block down the street? Whatever, he had almost arrived anyways.

What stands in front of Akko is a big house, painted a beige rose gold-pinkish color with white awning pasting itself across the bottom and sides; also adding a nice accent. It was three stories high. The flowers and trees protruding from the sides and the big vines flowing up and down the walls of the house proved Mei to definitely be a confirmed fairy. She loved plants so much and her parents where so chill that plants where on all the window sills and the front garden was as majestic as ever. Rows of rainbow tulips littered the area. Big, round, juicy plums that looked good enough to make your mouth water hung from branches on trees. Akko noticed a few roses on the vines, which seemed to be growing in season. A silver weather vein with a sunflower design was on top of the house, creaking slightly with every wind breeze.

Aiko took his phone out of his pocket and quickly messages Mei. He decided it was quite impractical of him to come over before finding out if she was even home.

Hey, I'm at your house. I have something really important to show you, please-

Bestie Mei!!
Yeah sure, come on in! I'll be at the door in one second, you know where the spare key is 😉👍

He instantly glowed, knowing that meant he had permission to open it on his own. He reached his hand into a flower pot and took out a small, silver key. He walked up to the big, mahogany door and slowly turned the key inside the hole, watching it slowly push open. He slipped the key back into the flower pot before walking inside. Mei was just walking down the stairs.

Aiko: Mei, thank goodness you're here-

Mei: This is my house, take a chill pill, let's go upstairs and discuss whatever this important business is-

Mei turned around and swiftly disappeared upstairs- that was no fair!! Aiko had just literally ran all the way over here. Aiko slumped up the stairs, tired from all the running he had just done- why did he have to do more? He arrived in Mei's room shortly after.

The ceiling was a plain white, though hanging flower pots had been hung from it. Fake Ivy crawled up the walls and lamps that looked like orbs of light where also hung from the ceiling. Plants in every corner of the room, a four poster bed with light purple bed sheets, a see through curtain hanging from the top; a big window and a bookshelf under it, filled to the brim with plant encyclopedias. The light echoed in from the window, pouring down upon Mei's room like a blanket being set to rest. It just all looked magnificent, stunning, and practically just creating the fairytale affect to take over the whole room. It didn't help that there was a single daisy on the window sill, a lonely one, in a flower pot. Daisys where basic, though somehow, Aiko always seemed to like that one lonely Daisy...

Aiko: I need your help with identifying a flower.

Mei: I am studying botany, you came to the right gal!!
