On the road, the sun was already setting.

The streetlights would soon come on.

Riki put his hand in his pockets and could feel the evening air caressing his skin.

"Thanks Riki, that was really great. I still can't believe I touched a starfish."

He laughed and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm glad you liked it Sora, I really enjoyed that date."

Sora remained tight-lipped. "A date ?"

He nodded. "Didn't you know ?"

"Of course I knew."

Riki turned his head to Sora and saw her confused look.

"Do you mind ? " he ran his hands over the back of his neck. "You know, about Taiyo." Sora didn't reply, so Riki added. "Forget what I said."

But she shook her head. "It was a pleasure, I really liked this date Riki."

He couldn't help but smile.

"What's your favorite flower, Sora ?"

Sora didn't really know what to answer. She thought a bit and finally answered, "I don't really know Riki, I don't know much about flower meanings."

I can see that Sora.

Taiyo really manipulated you on that one point.

You thought he loved you,

but he gave you lots of messages that proved the opposite.

I hate him.

They passed a white hydrangea and Riki ran towards it. He picked one and handed it to Sora.

"To make up for the flowers I crushed."

"It doesn't matter, given its significance." Sora looked up and took Riki's flower in her hands. She smelled the new scent, but Riki took the flower back and put it behind Sora's ear.

"You're much prettier with this flower, hydrangea girl."

Riki's hand slid along her jaw until his thumb caressed her chin.

Sora felt herself blush and Riki started walking again.

By the time they reached Riki's house, the moon was almost full. They could already see the stars properly and there were no clouds.

"Come with me up the hill Sora, it's a nice day, let's enjoy it."

Sora nodded and the two of them went up the hill.
