Kenren didn't, not really, it seemed rather ridiculous and pretentious to him. A lovers' day? To express love? Lovers can do that on any day, why make a fuss out of it? But he could grasp the significance of why Tenpou would make a special mention, and knowing Tenpou, there's always something.
Very well. Kenren was not that dense. He'll show Tenpou.
Exactly one week later he'd slipped down to earth to hunt for flowers and candy, and it wasn't his fault that nobody told him about the specific condition that guys gave girls flowers. Certain particular flowers at that, like red roses, and nothing much more.
He hadn't wandered around far when what caught his eye were gardenia shrubs, the white, fragrant flowers, clusters of petals like lips puckered. The whiteness of it reminded him of Tenpou's labcoat, even though the latter was now far from white again-Kenren made a mental note to do something about it-and it smelt nice. He yanked a few out, dragging up leaves and roots and creating showers of soil. He frowned; why would people give each other such messy things? Besides, they were killing the plants too. If that's the way they did things down below…mortals practiced some weird traditions.
