Chapter 4 - Red
It all started with a not so normal day. The sun was shining brightly yet the rain was falling lightly on the ground making small sounds of tapping. A petite girl sighed in content as she finished the filings starting from 8:01 – she was late by one minute – to 10:55 am. Ah how life can be cruel to her. She was scolded because she was late by a minute, she burned her hand while making tea, she had five paper cuts and most of all her boss didn't care.
"That jerk! Making me do such things in my condition…" Mai mumbled as she arranged her desk properly, slowly but surely.
As the petite girl was busy arranging her desk properly, the door creaked open revealing a bassist/monk holding a bunch of such fresh roses, neatly tied in a red bow.
"Yoo~!" The monk chimed as he sat on the sofa, looking around as if looking for someone.
"Hello Bou-san…"Mai greeted gloomily, still arranging the desk but as she looked at the monk she then said in surprise, "Whoa! Bou-san, what's with the roses?"
Bou-san looked at Mai with a nervous expression, "Well…you see, Mai-chan…have you seen Ayako?"
Mai winked at the monk who blushed, "Oooh~! Good luck with her!" Mai sighed and looked at the flowers longingly, "Sometimes I wish someone would give me flowers too…"
Bou-san, who didn't hear what she said then bid farewell to the SPR workers. Monk may not hear it but someone did.
A very special someone.
Flowers, flowers, flowers, she loves flowers? And so he left.
…
The bell chimed as the teen-in-black walked into the flower shop. The florist, who's an old lady around her late 50's looked up and somehow felt sorry for the teen.
"I'll buy some flowers…fresh ones."
"For what occasion or to whom dear?" The old woman asked, looking at Naru's expression.
"…It's for a girl."
The old woman smiled sympathetically at Naru and pulled out some red flowers which seemed unfamiliar to him yet he trusted that the florist would know what would be the best flowers he would give.
Naru paid as the woman gave him the red flowers.
…
"Uh, Naru…are you sad or something? You want me to die or something?" Mai asked confusion and amusement written all over her face.
"What are you talking about?" said an irritated Naru.
"Pfff…" Mai laughed as she looked at Naru's oblivious face, "Oh gosh! This is the flower Cypress which means death or mourning! Go figure!"
"Well damn that florist…" Naru said before retreating to his lair with a flushed face…
...Here's what the florist though a moment ago…
The young boy must be sad because his expression is so solemn even with him dressing…all black.
Sorry for the very late update...I got school you know!
