Palette's POV a few weeks later, lunchtime
"Hey Palette! Great to see your recovery is going smoothly!"Niko says
"Nice new ssssstyle! Lookssss good on you!"Meelo says with a rare purr with the hiss
"Thanks!"I say as I sit between them at the lunch table.
The rest of my friends fill in the seats and start chatting away. I casually eat my food as they giggle and gossip. Then I hear a gasp.
"Wooaaah! Where did you get the purple rose, Goth? Those are super rare, especially in the winter!"Niko says
"It was taped to my locker..I dunno from who but they left it there..."He says, sitting with us
"Definitely a new way to treat the month."Niko says
"Way too sweet for Calludo's tastes or intelligence. Too much planning and exploring that would need to get his dainty hands dirty."Shadei says
"I am so glad that December is over! And I bet you are as well Goth!"Niko says
"Yeah, with that assshole creeping on you and trying to force you into uncomfortable places! So many mistletoes!"Meelo says
"But that means that we didn't get the chance to put you and Palette under the mistletoe! Opportunity wasted and missed!"Mika sighs
"Oh as if we'd get a chance with Aleena and Madeline chasing after him like two clingy pets begging for attention or stubborn bulls."Niko says, elbowing me jokingly
I chuckle, watching Gothy hold the purple rose delicately, gazing at it with a small smile. Then he glances up in surprise and smiles widely.
"Palette! You're back!"He cheers
"In his rightful place."Niko says proudly
Gothy gets up from his seat, dropping the flower on the table. His wings unfold, slapping Calludo in the face and knocking him down as he attempted to walk past us and eye Gothy. Gothy paid him no mind, quickly coming around the table to hug me.
"I'm so glad that you're back! I..."He cheers, then hears Calludo groan
He glances over for a moment, then shrugs it off and leans closer to me.
"I missed you, Palette."He whispers
I smile at him and he gazes at me carefully, seeming to notice my change in clothes. His cheeks turn a shade of lavender and our friends giggle. I grab the rose and hand it to him.
"Don't lose it too quickly now. Whoever gave it to you took a lot of care to get it."I say
Niko chuckles, knowing the meaning behind my words.
Gothy nods, going back to his seat with it held carefully. He smiles at me nervously.
"So, Goth...We hear that your parents are letting you into the tradition this year."Niko says
"It's more of testing the waters."Gothy says with a shrug
"Interesting. Maybe you'll get boxed with Palette again."Niko says
"And actually reach the destination."Mika says
Goth's face burns and I smile a bit.
"I'm not sure about that guys."I say with a chuckle
"So, what's with the new look?"Gothy asks
"I was doing yard work and my clothes got dirty. Gave me a chance to try on these new clothes though."I say
