The next morning, Kaylee had gotten out of bed before the sun came up and snuck outside.

"Where are they...c'mon c'mon c'monnnn..." She whispered to herself, looking for her desired items before she finally was able to locate them.

"Perfect!!! They bloomed too even though the sun isn't fully out? Doesn't matter." She said to myself before immediately picking and neatly creating a bouquet of Bluebell Flowers.

Tanjiro woke up early like usual and went outside. He took an hour-long walk around The Butterfly Estate to start the day off with a clear head. As he was slowly walking he glanced around and saw Kaylee, he raised an eyebrow in curiosity as he went closer. He was surprised to see her picking Bluebells out of all the flowers out there, so he walked over to her.

"Y'know, it's pretty early out to be picking flowers right now." He stated.

Kaylee looked up.

"Tanjiro? You're up early." She giggled.

Tanjiro smiled.

"I'm always up early, though I could say the same thing for you" He glanced at the Bluebells in her hand.

"Are those Bluebells? What are you doing with them?" He asked.

A blush appeared on Kaylee's face.

"A-Ah those-! I-I um...J-Just decided to pick some is all!" She nervously rambled.

Tanjiro raised an eyebrow when he saw her blush.

"Is there a reason you picked Bluebells specifically? There are much more colorful flowers out here." He wondered

"W-Well uhm—" The real reason was because they were Inosukes favorite flowers.

"They uh- y'know blue is a really rare color to find in nature so—" Kaylee blushed.

Tanjiro heard her explanation. He smiled faintly.

"Bluebells are a beautiful flower choice, you're not wrong. I never realized how rare blue is until now, I guess I never really thought about it!" Tanjiro smiled and looked at the flowers again.

Kaylee nodded.

"Y-Yeah...recently I've been noticing how well blue and green really match..." A soft and almost dreamy smile appeared on her face.

Tanjiro noticed her smile, he saw the look on her face. She looked so happy as she spoke and looked at the flowers.

"Blue and Green...they match well don't they?" He thought for a moment and then a realization came to him.

Tanjiro looked at the Bluebells again, and then back to Kaylee. He then understood why she picked them specifically. It clicked. They were Inosuke's favorite. He smiled at her.

"You know...Inosuke is really quite fond of Bluebells isn't he?" He laughed.

Kaylee's face turned bright red.

"O-Oh he is—!? I uh- oh what a coincidence!" She quickly replied.

Tanjiro chuckled when he saw her flustered reaction. It was obvious she was trying to hide something.

"It IS quite a coincidence. You randomly decided to pick Bluebells early in the morning, and they just so happen to be Inosuke's favorite flowers?" Tanjiro questioned.

"Yep-!" Kaylee replied, her face still bright red and trying to hide the obvious fact she's picking these up for Inosuke.

"T-Total coincidence!" She added.
