"For our 17th roses, Zenitsu Agatsuma!" the emcee announced. Another spotlight follows Zenitsu as he approaches the debutant. It's the last dance of her 18th list.

The blonde boy walked towards her with the stem of the red rose between his teeth making the audience clap and shout at his extra entrance. Zenitsu wears a light blue suit matching Aoi's theme. His shoes were with light beige yacht loafers.

"So extra," Aoi murmured, smiling at her friend. Aoi wears an elegant blue beaded with white pearls tulle ball gown paired with white heels that can barely see. Her hair was fixed in a braid crown and a silver tiara was on top of her hair. Her make-up was light, which was exactly what she desired. Her Farah earrings were glistening when a light met it. Zenitsu flashed a smirk.

"For our debutant," he said before giving his rose to her. The two spotlights emerge making a big circle and landing on the two.

"Don't worry I did make sure that my saliva won't touch the rose," he defended, Aoi chuckled and accepted the rose, she rested her hands on his shoulder.

"I wasn't even gonna say that," she replied, Zenitsu put his hands on her waist. The two chuckled then they slowly danced as romantic music played in the background while the spotlights followed them.

"Why didn't you invite him?" he started, Aoi looked at him in bafflement then it hit her.

"You mean HIM?" she questioned, emphasizing him in her words.

Zenitsu nodded, she looked away into his eyes. Aoi focused on the audience who was watching them with a smile carved on their faces.

"Well uhm—," she sighs, why didn't she invite him again? Oh, she remembered she saw him that day. And that exact day she had her first heartbreak.

"I saw him with a girl when I was going to invite him last Friday," she said, pain evident in her voice. Aoi looked down, still dancing. "She clings her arm around him then Ino leans down so the girl can kiss his forehead—." the scene flashes before her eyes.

"Did you see what she looks like?" Zenitsu asked, she snapped back at reality and looked up at him. She shakes her head. Aoi focused again on their feet, trying to hold her tears. It's her birthday she can't be sad or cry to some guy.

"I did see her but only her back. She has blue tips down to her long hair and she's also petite," she replied, "Can we switch the topic?" she asked looking up at him. Zenitsu smiled softly making Aoi confused.

"That Friday, if I'm not mistaken Inosuke told us that his mother would fetch him," he stated, "Also from your description, I think that's his mother. I saw his mother when he invited us to his house—." his voice became distant when she saw a familiar figure standing in her peripheral vision. She looks at the figure intently to see it.

"What the fuck?" she replied, she looks at the boy who was dancing with her.

"So you were saying that's his mother?"

Zenitsu nodded in response, "And the guy who was standing there was him?" she continued.

His lips rose, and he nodded again in response. "I figured it out when you told me that she has blue tips 'cause I've never seen a girl with blue tips in our school," he says, "And yes, he's here" he continued. Zenitsu winked at her before the emcee announced the last dance.
