ikebana means the art of arranging cut flowers that follow strict rules
華道

ikebana are truly beautiful arrangements

never before have i seen any flowers come together so beautifully

they remind me of you

you are a perfect mix of kind and beautiful

strong and passionate

outgoing and soft

i know that i will probably never get the chance to try and make one

but being with you would make it alright

we are slowly creeping up on the end of the semester

and with it the end of the semester dance

maybe by then i'll have worked up the courage to ask you

just do me a favor and wait for me?


markus stared at the letter in disbelief. this mystery writer basically just asked him out to the dance. josh read the letter over his shoulder and nudged his arm.

"ooh! looks like you just got half asked to the dance, what are you gonna do?"

markus thought on it for a moment before turning back to josh, "i'll hear them out and see if i want to go to the dance with them, if they reveal themselves that is..."

"but?"

"but there's someone i want to ask"

josh gasped but before he could ask questions markus sped off to class not wanting to be late.

upon walking in he noticed simon fell asleep with his head on the desk. he sat down in his normal seat and drummed on simon's shoulders, consequently waking him up. simon turned around and jokingly glared at him.

after half a minute of intense eye contact they both broke into giggling fits. simon shook his head and handed the earbuds back, showing him the name of the song on his phone at the same time. arms tonite by mother mother. the spelling of tonite was weird and bothered me slightly but the song was good.

we were assigned our final projects and had the next two weeks to work on them in class the next two weeks for work on them. markus's project was on equality through certain tactics but being open to switching tactics. simon's project was amount equality and making sure every party is happy.

the had to spend the next to weeks doing it but they didn't mind, it meant that they could continue to listen to music during class.

after school they met up before football practice, simon sat down in the bleachers while markus practiced for their game tonight. they were 7-0 so far and tonight's game would be an easy win. if they won this one and next week's game, they would face off against their rival the friday night before the dance.

after practice, markus just talked with simon and got dinner until the game started. it was an easy win for the detroit-high lion, making their score 8-0. (i know nothing about football lol).

after the game the two walked down to the new ice cream place huddle soft serve. it was pretty good and they decided to call it a night after they finished up.

"hey si?"

simon giggled at the nickname, "si? is that a nickname or something"

"so what if it is" markus smiled smugly but ended up laughing. 

"well what did you want to ask... i got nothing on a nickname"

markus snickered before taking a deep breath, "do you have any plans in say, two weeks on friday?"

"ya"

"oh" markus frowned a bit, but he tried to hide his disappointment.

"i'm going to the football game to watch you play duh"

markus let out a deep sigh of relief and glared daggers into simon's very soul. they laughed it off as they parted ways for the night.
