ZY: Hello everyone. I'm letting everyone know that each chapter will be themed in one way or another. Enjoy. I do not own Toriko in any way.

Plan A: Flowers
}i{ }i{
Zebura ran his fingers threw Coco's shiny black locks. Coco purred as he nuzzled his cheeks against Zebura's chest as the giant continued to pet him. Zebura then started rubbing the back of Coco's neck, there was a content sigh from Coco as his eyes fluttered closed. Zebura smirked "Enjoying youself Coco?" Coco opened his eyes a little bit and blushed at the older Heavenly King's comment. "Hey, it feels nice, all right," Coco muttered softly, but he knew that Zebura could hear him. The taller of the two stopped petting the shorter one's neck in favor of moving his hand to gently tilt his head up so that the taller could look into the brownish-black eyes of the shorter one. "Don't I get a kiss?" Zebura seemed to state rather than ask. Coco's cheeks turned pink and his eyes darted to the side. Zebura chuckled and thought 'He's adorable when he blushes.'
While his eyes kept to the side, Coco moved his arms around Zebura's neck, well actually only his hands were able to reach Zebura neck, and muttered "You're going to have to lean down a bit, I can't reach." Zebura smiled, actually smiled at that comment. Zebura was 255cm (8.36ft) tall while Coco was 200cm (6.56ft) tall, so yea, even if Coco stood on his tippy-toes he couldn't kiss Zebura on the lips unless the giant leaned down. As one hand held onto Coco's chin, Zebura wrapped his other arm around Coco's waist, and then started to lean down towards Coco. Just as Zebura was mere centimeters away from kissing Coco, a thundering crash was herd. Zebura jolted awake.
}i{
Still in bed, Zebura growled in annoyance. 'Damn idiots. Who the hell gets into a car crash this early in the morning?' He wasn't sure what was more aggravating, being awaken by a horrible noise or him finally having the love of his life in his arms, but only to realize that it was all a dream. Zebura sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. He really should tell Coco how he felt, but Zebura wasn't sure how Coco would react and he couldn't risk the already existing trust he has with Coco. Zebura sighed again, he'll just keep his love for his fellow king in his heart until the day he dies and he'll make sure all who know will keep quite as well. When Zebura got out of bed, he realized that he needed to go to the bathroom to take care of a certain morning problem.
}i{
}i{ Meanwhile, with Komatsu, Sani, and Toriko }i{ (note: the three will be ether texting or writing when they are making there plans in order to prevent Zebura from finding out what they're doing)
)Any words between the inverted parenthaces it ether text or written(
Sani came up with the idea of having Zebura giving Coco some flowers. Toriko liked that idea, but Komatsu wasn't sure Zebura would do such a thing. )I mean, I just can't picture Zebura giving roses to anyone, let alone Coco,( Komatsu stated to the two kings. )We're not going to use roses,( Both the kings stated at the exact same time. Komatsu merely asked )Why?( Toriko responded with )Because Coco's allergic to all types of roses.( Sani nodded and added )And because of that, we could nev'r celebrate Valentines Day with roses, but it wasn't much of a problem though, because all the decorations where still beautiful.( Komatsu was surprised by this, but this did explain why Coco didn't go to the IGO's rose themed Valentines Day party last year, no matter how many times he was asked. )So if roses are out, what kind a flowers should we get Zebura to use?( Komatsu asked Sani and Toriko. That was a good question, and a better question was how to mention it to Zebura without letting him onto their plan?
}i{

Zebura was definitely not in a good mood. Why the hell would he be on a delivery mission of the lowest kind. Zebura growled "I'm not a fucking flower delivery guy." A better question was who would use the IGO for a flower delivery? Edible flowers, maybe. But where Red Orchid Tulips (1) edible? When Zebura finally got to the building that had the flowers he needed to pick up, he made sure that all of the people in there knew he could end all their lives on a whim. He got the flowers. Ten in total, all around 121.92 cm (4ft), all in individual pots inside a green-box (a miniature greenhouse to be exact) that was 90.718 kg (200 pounds), and 152.4 cm (5ft) tall. After Zebura left the building, he made sure to let everyone he passed know that if he heard even the slightest chuckle, they where going threw the nearest wall. When he gets back to the IGO headquarters there's going to be rivers of blood, or maybe an ocean of blood.
}i{
Zebura had currently been attacked by ten different groups of bandits, all of whom are in no condition to move at the moment. This made Zebura wonder if these flowers were worth something, guess he'll have to ask someone from the current group of bandits he was practically obliterating. He grabbed one of them by their collar and simply said in his I'm-going-to-kill-you-if-you-don't-answer-my-question tone "Mind telling me why ya bastards want these stupid flowers. Ya better answer now." The bandit gulped and told Zebura everything. Red Orchid Tulips where a rare hybrid flower that were hard to grow and breed, and the nectar from these flowers made honey that was positively packed with vitamins. Zebura spared that bandit, who took the chance to flee, and went on his way back to the IGO Garden.
Ok, so the IGO was in it's right mind when they sent a Gourmet Hunter to retrieve the flowers, but would have been nice if they told Zebura this at the begining, then he wouldn't have sent the poor soul, who told him to get the flowers, into next week. The fact that the flowers could make vitamin enriched honey made Zebura think about Coco. Yes, Zebura knew that the gentleman liked a good balanced meal and Red Orchid Tulip Honey sounded like something Coco would like. Zebura sighed, but then he got an idea. Perhaps he could 'persuade' the IGO in-charge of the flowers to give him first batch of the honey. Oh, Zebura could just picture the image, or fantasies in this case, of him giving Coco the honey.
}i{ Zebura's fantasy begins }i{
* Zebura gave Coco a medium size glass jar filled to the brim with honey made from the red tulip orchids. Coco was surprised that Zebura got him such a thoughtful gift. After Coco took the jar he said "Zebura, did you really go out of your way just to get me this," as he looked at the honey in aww. Zebura smirked and stated "It wasn't to much trouble, besides I know ya like food that's balanced in nutrition." Coco's cheeks acquired a soft dusting of pink as he said "Th-thank you Zebura, it means a lot that you care enough to know what I like to eat." Zebura smiled and said "I hope ya enjoy tha honey," as he turned to walk away. Before Zebura got fifteen paces away from Coco, the shorter of the two called out to the taller. Zebura looked over his shoulder to see Coco, now with a pink hue on his cheeks, looking down at the ground and muttered "Do you want to eat some of this honey with me? I know how to make a dish that will go well with it," although Coco spoke softly, but Zebura heard it perfectly clear. Zebura smiled and said "As long as I'm eating with you, the food'll be delicious no-mater what it is." Coco was now flushed red and the only word to leave his lips was "Zebura" *
}i{ Zebura's fantasy ends }i{
With the grin on his face, Zebura continued on his way, eliminating any and all bandits who dared crossed his path; although, 80% of the bandits that where lying in wait didn't attack because of Zebura's toothy grin scared them into ether retreating or wetting themselves. There was nothing scarier than the most dangerous person in the world having a grin on his face, which could mean the end of some one.

Golden Honey Hornet-Bees (around the size of a human head) (Capture lv 10 for an individual, lv 45 for a swarm) (2) are a venomous hybrid that makes honey so delicious that was it was practically liquid gold. There was a relatively large swarm of Golden Honey Hornet-Bees inside the IGO Gardens, so they needed flowers so that they can make their wondrous honey.

To put it simply Red Orchid Tulips + Golden Honey Hornet-Bees = Honey with vitamins and amazing taste.

Zebura really wished they could have explained this at the beginning, but when he mentioned that he wanted first dibs on the first batch produced, the IGO said that he would be the first to be notified, and Zebura didn't have to threaten anyone. The IGO did ask Zebura to help with planting the flowers, at first Zebura refused, but when the IGO told him that the other kings were going to help out too, Zebura agreed, mostly to see Coco. When Zebura got to the Garden, with the Red Orchid Tulips, he saw his fellow kings there. Toriko moving boulders out of the way in order to make a clearing for the flowers. Sani 'feeling' around for spot to plant the flowers that they would grow the best, and marking them with an X. Coco was sitting on a giant boulder, Zebura wondered why he was just sitting there, but when he heard some of the hornet-bees hovering nearby, Zebura knew that Coco was here to keep them away while the flowers where being planted.
Nine of the IGO gardeners were planting the flowers where Sani's X marks were, leaving only one Red Orchid Tulip in the mini greenhouse.
Zebura looked at the lone plant, looked at the employees carefully planting the flowers, looked at Toriko eating a huge origini nearby, looked at Sani stating that the flowers were beautiful, looked at Coco watching the hornet-bees, looked at the solo flower in the box again, and looked at Coco once more. Zebura carefully picked up the flower by the pot, walked over to Coco, and set the flower next to Coco. The raven haired king looked at the flower and then looked at Zebura, surprised that the giant did what he did. "It smells nice, thought you'd want'a take a whiff, since yar tha only one who hasn't yet," Zebura said doing his best to look anywhere but Coco. There was a few seconds of silence before Zebura finally looked at Coco, who was smiling at Zebura. That caught Zebura off guard, ok, yes he fantasied about Coco smiling at him but he never expected Coco to smile at him in real life. Coco carefully picked up the flower, breathed in its sweet aroma, and smiled once again. Zebura's heart fluttered at that scene. "Thank you Zebura, it does smell lovely," Coco said with a smile. Zebura could hear the sincerity in Coco's voice, one of Zebura's favorite sounds. The giant smiled back and said "No problem."
}i{
Toriko and Sani watched the whole thing. Sani happy the plan worked, Toriko was also glad the plan worked, though he was also surprised that it did work. In order to prevent Zebura from hearing anything, Komatsu, Toriko, and Sani agreed that the signal that they should use would be facial expressions. Furrowed brows would mean that the plan failed, smiles would mean that the plan worked, while a raised brow would mean that the plan sort-of worked. Both Toriko and Sani were raising their brows to one another. Ok, so Zebura didn't confess to Coco, but at least they got the two closer together. Maybe the next plan would work.
}i{ Plane A: Partial success. }i{
}i{ }i{
(1): Red Tulips stands for Declaration of love and Orchids stands for Love, beauty, and mature charm.
(2): Golden Honey Hornet-Bees are only found in this story. My creation, so hands off.
