"Hey want me to buy you anything?" Francis looked at Arthur from where he was laying on the grass.

"No, I am fine with just laying here in the shade," Francis said laughing. "Besides, you are spoiling me with the roses you keep bringing! You must be wasting a fortune on them!"

"Not really. They may be the finest flowers in the area, but they are among the inexpensive ones. Kiku told me that since he gets a lot of customers he doesn't see the point of charging a lot."

"Who's Kiku?"

"The owner of the flower shop. We became friends after I went there a couple of weeks ago."

"Oh," Francis said as he sat up. "Suddenly I am in the mood from some frozen lemonade. Come let's get some!" Arthur rolled his eyes at Francis before following him to where the vendors were. As Francis debated on what to get Arthur looked around to see what the others were selling. The vendors were located at the park's center where the water fountain was. After Francis chose the strawberry frozen lemonade they walked around to see what other items were on sale.

"Hey! Arthur! Let's make a wish at the fountain!" Francis said as he grabbed Arthur's hand and pulled him to the large water fountain. Francis fumbled around and took out two pennies. "Come on! Wish for something and then throw it in." Both of them closed their eyes, and then threw the pennies in. When Arthur opened his eyes he spotted a lonely figure walking around and carrying a small wooden basket. Without saying anything he grabbed Francis's hand and quickly made his way to the person who was already leaving.

"Hey! Kiku! Wait up!" Kiku stopped walking and looked around wondering who had called his name. Then he turned and spotted Arthur approaching with a person he didn't recognize.

"Oh. Konnichiwa Asa-san! What a surprise to meet you here. And may I ask who the person next to you is?"

"This is my boyfriend, Francis Bonnefoy. Francis this is Kiku Honda, the owner of The Garden of Eden"

"Konnichiwa. It's a pleasure to meet you Francis-san. Asa-san talks a lot about you."

"He does?" Francis asked looking at Arthur, who was sheepishly grinning back at him. "And what has mon amour said about me?" Next thing Arthur knew those two were suddenly talking as though they were the best of friends. Then all three of them headed to one of the park tables and sat down.

"Do you have any family, Kiku? Francis asked after they had exchanged personal data.

"Yes, I do. My parents are still alive, and I have an older brother and three younger siblings. I don't see them much anymore since they don't live anywhere around here."

"That's sad mon ami. Where do you live? Who do you hang out with?"

I live above the shop, and I usually don't hang out with people."

"It's 4:30 already Francis and I have to go to class." Arthur said looking at his watch.

"Oh, you're right! You don't want to be late again. Sorry Kiku, but it looks like we have to go." Francis said as he and Arthur got up.

"It's alright," Kiku said as he stood up with them. "My break is almost over anyway, and I need to head back to the shop before anyone arrives." They said their goodbye's before going their separate ways.

"Wait Francis-san!" Arthur and Francis turned to see Kiku running to them.

"I forgot to give you this," Kiku explained as he took out a red flower from the basket he was carrying. "It's a chrysanthemum. I want you to have it as a token of our friendship."

"Thank you mon ami, but I don't have anything for you."

"It's alright. You can give me something another day. Sayounara!" Kiku said as he turned and quickly hurried back to his shop.
