AN: Tumblr prompt: Spider-Man, Danny, Deadpool, and Nova go to Japan to visit the cherry blossom trees
Drabble 13-Cherry Blossoms
Peter had never been so excited about a vacation in his life. He wanted to be cautious but ho could he when all he could think of were the beaches of Japan and the beautiful, stunning, exquisit-
"Hello, earth to Parker! You alive? You better be," Sam Alexander, AKA Nova said. "The only one who's allowed to be dead is him," he jabbed a thumb at Danny, who was currently occupying their stowaway, Deadpool.
Deadpool, once learning that they had a dead friend who's not really dead (makes perfect sense, right?) wouldn't shut up and he wouldn't leave Danny alone. If Danny hadn't learned how to get his temper under control (Thanks, Jazz) then he would have thrown Deadpool out of the window a long time ago. But thankfully there were some low key meditation things he could do to still pay attention but also keep his temper in check.
"Give me another reason why we're letting him stay," Peter asked, hoping for an actually god, legit reason that didn't involve how great Deadpool was.
"Do you know of any way of actually getting rid of him?" Sam countered. Peter thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"Point taken. But at least he won't be in our hair."
"I can hear you, you know," Danny griped.

It was their third night in Japan, and they had seen so, so many sights. But one they all wanted to see, including Nova of all people, was the cherry blossoms. He would never admit it though.
"Hey, pssst, Dan-Dan. You awake?"
Danny wanted to groan into his pillow, but he couldn't for fear of waking up Peter and Sam. He turned around and glared at Deadpool, who had changed the red suit for some civilian clothing, hiding what he really looked like with a hood and some Hello Kitty sunglasses. But now though, in the dark room, his hood was down and his sunglasses were off. He probably thought Danny's eyesight was as bad as Fury's in this light, but he could see Deadpool's face clearly. The scars and crevasses and burns and just…Everything.
"What's up?" Danny asked, losing any previous fire he had. He sat up on his elbow and turned all the way over, letting his hair fall into his eyes without a care in the world.
"If you don't mind me asking…And you don't have to answer this if you don't want too…But how did you…You know…Die?"
There was the unmistakable concern Danny had heard so many times. And, for the first time that trip, he knew he could trust Deadpool with this information. But he still didn't even know the guy's real name.
"I'll tell you. But first you have to tell me your name," he whispered, a small smile on his face.
"It's…It's Wade…"
"Well, Wade, it was a lab accident. My parents were scientists and paranormal specialists and, well, something was bound to happen, right? They don't know, though. I…I can't tell them…"
"Oh…Okay. Night."

The next morning they acted like nothing had ever happened. The good news was, they didn't really have to try that hard. Because it was their last day in Japan, and they had one more significant place to be: The cherry blossom trees. With that on their minds it was easy to forget anything awkward that happened the night before.
Their long, dreadful walk had been cut short with a little ghostly powers thanks to Danny. And on a day like this, it was so worth it.
They were in full bloom, and the petals were swirling round and round with no care in the world. Pink filled their vision as they laughed and stared in awe at the natural beauty around them, at their feet, their very fingertips.
They stayed their for hours, munching on the sandwiches they had brought for lunch, and laughing at Sam getting some petals stuck up his nose.
They were so busy laughing that they hadn't noticed when Wade had put flower crowns made of cherry blossoms on their head, expertly woven and looking better than the store bought ones. There was a fourth one too, for him, but he didn't put it on. He just put it to the side and watched as the others marveled at their new head gear. Except Danny.
Instead of marveling at it like his peers, he grabbed Wade's as slowly took off his hood before placing the crown on his bald head.
"Hey, look at that, guys," Danny said with a heartwarming grin. "The flowers match his sunglasses."
Danny was grinning ear to ear, along with Peter and Sam.
"Looking good, dude!" Peter said, giving him a thumbs up. Sam nodded in agreement, unable to say anything with his mouth full.
"I think this is safe to say that this is the best spring break ever."
