----------------------------------------------------------------------

An addiction.

Tsuzuku knew he had one, he had always known. It would bug and bother him until he finally came undone from the urge. It wasn't something he was proud if, but luckily it didn't seem like anyone noticed yet. He was addicted to eating flowers. Roses to be specific. Sure it may have been obvious at first. What with the way he munched and munched on them for their video Emily. What could be say? Rose petals were tasty as hell.

Which was why he felt so ashamed of himself when he got up late at night to run to the local 24 hour super market only a stones throw from his apartment. He was running low on them again and didn't want to be crying about it later. This sort of thing wasn't uncommon, especially at this time of year. It was about five in the morning and a special day.

It was a month after Valentine's day, or 'White day' as it was more commonly known. Guys all over the city will be buying flowers and gifts for their lovers but Tsuzuku didn't have one. But it could look like he had one if he bought the white ones this time.... He had to wonder how the white ones tasted because he always ate the red ones.

The supermarket's outside flower shop was still open with a young lady standing in front of it. She looked tired but happy to be there. Tsuzuku walked up to her, his palms sweating nervously.

"Hello!" She chirped at him. "Here for an early gift for that special someone, hmm?"

Swallowing he just smiled as best as he could. His first thoughts directed him to Koichi and what they did the other night... Quickly he shook the thought away.

"U-uhm, yes I am," he answered shakily. "Uhm, do you have any white roses?"

The woman looked happy to help as she turned around to scan her flowers, humming as she did so.

"Hmm hmm, ah yes, we have four bouquet sizes in today. The small one with five roses for 500 yen, the medium with ten roses for 1000 yen, the large with twenty for 1500 yen, and our deluxe package with thirty roses and a small white teddy bear plush for 2500 yen. So which will it be?"

Immediately he blurts out his answer.

"The deluxe! Um, please," he said after shouting loudly. The woman seemed surprised but in a good way because she giggled.

"Wow, what a lucky lady she must be to have such a dedicated boyfriend!" she exclaims and grabs a big display from under her counter. Immediately Tsuzuku's eyes widened at the size of the bouquet. The white roses were wrapped in pink garland paper then placed in a clear vase, and a cute little bear plush, about the size of his palm, was tied to it with a red ribbon. His mouth started to water and he felt his neck grow clammy with more sweat. At this point he was strugging with all he had not to yank them from her hands and devour the sweet looking flowers right then and there. Oh if she knew what his true intentions were she would be horrified.

""Y-yeah, of course she is," he stuttered and fished his wallet from his back pocket. "So that's 2500?"

"Yup! We accept credit cards and cash, how will you be paying today?"
