"So you have it then..?"

"..yeah..flowers.."

"A bit of a better way to say it"

"I guess so...how about..flowers of love~!"

"... heh"

"so then I suppose I have flowers of love..."

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

The loud taps of shoes against smooth pavement filled the silent, empty halls. All the chatty students had already pooled out of the school, leaving nothing but abandoned pencils and useless fliers on the floor.

But, there was still three left.

can you guess their names?

Mikaela Shindo, Yuichiro Amane and Shinoa Hiragi...

those are the three.

...Yuichiro Amane and Shinoa Hiragi...

Ahh-yes. those two. well, as much as Yuichiro likes to deny it, the duo does definitely have some chemistry going on between them.it is so obvious that even a blind man could see it. their "love".

or that's at least what Mika calls it.

'Goddamnit, how could I be so stupid, so naive' The blonde thought as he sprinted out the school gates. The tears brimming at his blue irises hindered his vision but Mika was too despondent to turn back now. The scene he had replayed in his mind. taunting him continuously.

Two figures in the distant. a girl and a boy standing underneath a large cherry blossom tree. It's beautiful pink and white petals crusading around them. The girl with some hesitance, shyly says something. The raven haired boy smiles gingerly scratching the back of his head, almost as if he was agreeing. Then the girl smiles. The setting sun creates a pastel orange aroma around them, as the girl leans forward, closer and closer, until... Their lips meet.

All Mika could think was 'that should have been me'. but it wasn't was it?no matter how much Mika wanted to believe it was a trick of the light, he had seen it clear as day.

There was no illusion of the bitter truth.

Panting, the blonde slows down. Recognising his surroundings, he had finally reached his destination- the beach.

The honey glow of the sun reflected onto the water creating the illusion of pastel pink water. The waves violently rocked up onto the shore, clawing away at the sand beneath its waters. The beach was completely deserted, the only person left was himself.

This. This is where Mikaela needed to be so, so badly.

Steadily, an unbroken stream of tears rolled down Mika's face. The blonde harshly gripped onto his soft gold locks as loud cries racked up his shivering frame. Mika dropped to his knees, wailing loudly. His screams overpowering the crash of the waves. Hands buried in the sand, grasping at the grains as if it were his life line.

Abruptly, his heavy sobs were swiftly replaced with a rough choke. Clutching a hand over his mouth as he felt something crawl up the back of his throat. The coughing got worse and worse until.. it suddenly stopped. Mika slowly pulled his palm away from his mouth to reveal a single, delicate, cerulean blue petal in his palm. Shocked, the blonde boy dropped the small petal and held his head in his hands as more tears edged his crystal blue puffy eyes once more.

and that's where it all started.

with that one damned petal.
