'Magical Green Thumb'
The flower was red and brightly so. The petals were big and proudly bloom. Kuroko wondered how this big and bright flower could grow on such a small cactus. He knows it's not impossible for flowers to grow on cacti but this is the biggest and brightest he had ever seen.
"Taiga had always have such magical fingers."
Kuroko turned around and meet a smiling face. Himuro Tatsuya, Kagami's suppose brother figure. From what he knew, they had a bit of misunderstood before but it wasn't mistaken that they're mending their relationship back.
Kuroko move a bit to give the older a space besides him. He watched the brother leaning forward to touch the petals softly. The an never cease his smiles.
"You were saying…" Kuro didn't know what pushed him to continue the hanging conversation. Ah, maybe it's the curiosity to learn more about his dear friend and light.
It didn't surprise the shadow when Himuro looked startled. The man really looks like his mind is away from his body.
"Back in L.A, Taiga had a special garden in his backyard. Almost all of the yard filled with flowers and small fruit and vegetable crops. His mother told us that taiga tended the garden himself. And she was only helping him while he's away in school. Right, Taiga?"
Kagami who had heard the calling from the kitchen, turned to them. Himuro explained when the redhead gives a confused looks.
"Ah the garden you say? More or less. It all started when I saw a group of boys stepped on a daisy. I didn't know what motivated me to scooped the flower and brought it home to nurse it back. I didn't even know how the daisy could even survive." Kagami-kun's soft reminiscing laughter leaves butterfly in Kuroko's stomach. He wondered if Himuro (have ever) feel the same.
Kuroko knew it's not his place to ask what happened in L.A so he resort to other question. "So why didn't you continue it here?" Kagami tapped on his chin with thoughtful look.
"Time, maybe." He didn't stop there. "Not to mention the lack of space. Tending plants aren't easy as people thought. It was messy and takes a lot to sacrifice. Time, love, patience. That's just few parts of what needed."
Both Kuroko and Himuro know that Kagami have more to say, if not for their former teacher, much to Kagami's horror, came out from the bedroom with little to none clothes covering her.
Kuroko wondered if he will ever have the chance to see the 'magical garden' with his own eyes.
