🌷imagine: tulips

"Another tulips." your best friend giggle beside you. It was the third day that you received a tulip.

"Wow, it's three."

"There's no note or something?" you frown and shook your head.

It's quite surprising that this person is giving you some pretty tulips with an unknown reason.

"Who do you think gave this?"

"Well—I have guess." you tried to take out the answer in her but before she could even say something you were interrupted by a boy.

"Uhm... Excuse me."

"S-Sorry." he smiles in appreciation and headed to his seat.

🌷🌷🌷

"Hey, Y/N wanna hangout later?" one of your boy classmates asks you out. But you know what it means since he's the top student in your class. Meaning: study and do homework.

You nodded with a beam while gazing at your 4th day tulips. It made you wonder who continuously give you these flowers.

" Let's go?" he said, offering a help with your books.

"Let's go!"

🌷🌷🌷

"What? No tulips for today?" your best friend asked, you nodded.

It made you quite sad seeing your desk with no any beautiful flower, but just an empty and lonely desk.

" Well, maybe he just got worn out giving me already."

"Don't be like that, Y/N—"

"He didn't even left a note for me to thank him." something inside you wanted to glance at a particular person. But you didn't bulge.

" Maybe he's just too shy or scared to tell you his feelings." with that—you were left confused and was about to ask what your best friend meant. But the class bell interrupted you.

🌷🌷🌷

You waited patiently hiding behind the classroom door. You're adamant to know whose the person giving you the tulips.
You covered your mouth preventing to yawn as a person made an entrance inside the room.

He's reluctantly walks in front of the class and stops in front of your desk.

"Wait—are you..." you stutter, making the boy look down. His back faces you.

"Joshua?"

"H-Hey." revealing him

"What're you doing here—wait are you the one whose been giving me the tulips?"

Joshua let our an embarrassing sigh.

"Y-Yeah, I guess." he shyly turn down gripping the bouquet different colors of tulips.

"Are those for me?" a smile appears at the corner of your lips when Joshua became flustered.

"Uhm... I g-guess...?" he extends his arms giving you the wonderful bouquet. Joshua's face redden when your eyes met his hazel ones.

"Why were you giving me this, Joshua?"

"W-Well—I think er..." He struggles while scratching the back of his neck.

"I just want to give you these—"

"For free?" you raised a brow, making him shook his head instantly but then it hit him and stopped shaking his head.

"Then what's the ca—"

"Go out with me?" it was your turn to become all flustered. Joshua couldn't help but to place a thoughtful grin as you cough.

" Only on one question?"

"What is it?" as if with a flick his shyness disappeared and replace with such eagerness.

"Uhm... Why tulips?" that made the boy in front of you pause.

"W-Well, you see..." Joshua leans and turn to the bouquet.

"Uhm... tulips are associated with love and you probably already knew that—" you nodded in motion for Joshua to continue.

"But with every different color has different significance and it speaks and shows what the giver wants to say... Like yellow tulips, means 'there's a sunshine in your smile'. Then the next one is, white which means 'I admire your respect and innocence' . Orange shows 'I'm fascinated by you'. And..."

"The red tulips?" you asked ignoring the fact that you were about to have a hard attack at how close the two you were.

" The red tulips." Joshua repeats, picking a red tulip flower in the bouquet.

"The red tulips, means—it might be insane but—" Joshua's dodge the fear and plucked the courage to say:

"Y/N, believe me I love you."
