The tumour was spreading fast and time was running out. Bokuto's condition became worse. He no longer had the ability to walk so Akaashi would always take him to places by his wheelchair. Thankfully, he hasn't lost his ability to speak, yet...

Valentine's day was coming up. It's next week and Bokuto was planning a surprise for Akaashi, with the help of Tetsurō of course.

He planned on getting 1,000 white Bouvardia flowers to fill up his hospital room as they were his favourite. He was also planning to propose to Akaashi...

Flashback to 2 weeks ago

"You're getting weaker by the day Kōtarō. I don't think you'll make it another month. You were lucky once, you might not be lucky this time."

"I know doc. I'm ready, but I don't think Akaashi is. I'm scared. I don't want to leave him." He was angry. Angry at the universe for giving him such an illness.

"Why did it have to be me? Why not anyone else?" Bokuto stared at the ceiling, closing his eyes.

"Well, everything happens for a reason and there's nothing we can do about it. It's our choices in life which lead us to where we are today. Instead of being angry at the universe, why don't you be happy it gave you one more month to live."

"What's so happy about that?", slowly opening his eyes to look back at doc.

"Because it gave you more time to spend with Akaashi."

Who knew one sentence could lead to Bokuto having a wide smile plastered on his face?

"Doc what day is it today?", he questioned.

"It's Saturday."

"No, I mean the date."

"Oh, it's the 7 of February. Why do you ask?"

"I want to prepare a special surprise for Akaashi for valentine's day and I was wondering if you'll be able to help me out?"

Whipped. And whipped he was.

He placed one hand behind the back of his head to lessen the tension and awkwardness that started to surround the both of them.

"Oh... Of course! I'll do anything to do to help!"

"Great! Also, I need your help with one more thing."

Tetsurō sat closer to Bokuto, placing his ear near his mouth and in a few seconds, his jaw dropped to the floor.
