Teru smiled as she pulled weeds from the school's garden, the warm sun on her back. The daisies growing in this bed were beautiful. Looking at her favorite flower made her stop and think about her favorite person, Daisy. She had just found out that Daisy, the one she loved like family ever since her brother had died, was actually Kurosaki her "master" and the school's janitor.
To most girls this would've been crushing, but not for her. Daisy may have been her only family, but Kurosaki was already becoming her everything. She shook the thoughts out of her head. She was just a silly teenage girl who had no shape and didn't wear make up, she could never date a man who dated women who were more beautiful than her.
She sighed and looked up at the hot sun, she wasn't even half done with her work yet, and after school when she went home she still had her half of an apartment to clean. She stood up with the bucket of weeds in hand and looked over at Kurosaki who was enjoying his lazy day sleeping under the shade of a large cherry tree. Suddenly an evil idea possessed her as she walked towards him. She took her bucket and dumped it on his chest.
He woke up with a start, "What on Earth!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. Teru could hardly contain her laughter as he tried to wipe the dirt off his shirt. He finally gave up trying to clean himself off and decided it would be much easier to take his shirt off. Teru's giggling stopped as he removed the soiled t-shirt. Kurosaki noticing her lack of laughter turned around. "I know, I have hot abs. No need to drool slave."
Teru suddenly put on her best "game face" and started to punch him; even though it didn't hurt he laughed and said, "Whoa, easy killer!" Teru frowned and looked down, "Go bald, Kurosaki!" She yelled at him while still looking at the ground, and stormed off. Running his hands through his spiked dirty blonde hair he wondered out loud, "Was it something I said?"
Later that day there was a knock at her apartment door, she wondered who it could've been. Ren-chan was out at a conference so it couldn't have been her, and her friends were just as bogged down with homework as she was, so she doubted it was one of them either. She put the finishing few words on the last sentence of her homework and strode towards the door. She opened it and looked down, there was a small bag placed in front of the door. On the bag there was a gift tag with only one thing written on it, "DAISY" Teru lifted up the small package and brought it inside, she set it on the table where she was doing her homework and she opened it.
Inside was a note, it read;
"Dear Teru,
In your last message you mentioned wanting to try looking more feminine, I being a guy, had no idea what you were talking about. But I talked to a dear friend of both of ours, and she told me a verrrrrrry long speech about girls. For the record, I didn't understand half of what she said. But with the bit I did understand, I decided to get you a gift.
I don't know anything about cosmetics or summer or winter colors, and things but I think these will look nice on you. And yes, I do agree that you are old enough to start trying to look more adult, but please don't over do it. Don't try to grow up too fast or you'll find yourself looking back at all you've missed.
-DAISY"
She smiled and set down the note, sometimes it made her laugh that Kurosaki had such a sensitive side. She reached into the package; inside there was a small mirror, a tube of a very light pink lipstick and an eye shadow pallet with differing shades of pink, blue and brown. She smiled as she folded the tissue paper and tucked it back into the gift bag. It was silly to want to save the wrappings, but to her this was one of the best gifts she had ever gotten.
