How could he have forgotten? He'd been memorizing it all morning in his head... and yet, he still forgot, moreso at the last moment. It was ten minutes before his mother was due to come home, he desperately needed to go and grab the flowers his father had ordered; a motif both father, and son included in all of mom's birthdays.

But with Kira applying for College his mind had been a tidal wave of information, and that apparently makes it hard to remember something you've been repeating all morning in the mirror.

So with haste Kira was running down to the florist shop his father had placed the order from. Checking his watch, he had eight minutes to get there and get back. Easy, right? Well, as Kira stepped into the shop he was met two old people chatting animatedly with each other. He hardly didn't care, but infront of them stood a tall man with a bouquet in hand wrapping up his purchase with the cashier, that unfortunately the tall man blocked.

'Damn!'

Kira thought as he scowled at his watch and noticed he had six minutes. Taking out his phone he texted his father he would probably be held up.

"...ello?"

"Hello?" A Feminine voice asked, as she poked his shoulder. Taken out of his thoughts Kira turned back around and came face-to-face with... an Angel! So entranced by the beautiful girl Kira just stared at the girl mouth opening and closing sporadically.

"Um... Are you okay?" The girl asked, her long pink-hair flowing as she tucked a stray strand behind her ear. Gulping, Kira finally remembered about his order.

"Ah yes, I'm here to pick up the Alexander's order." Kira supplied.

The girl's eyes lit up as she snapped her finger and walked to the counter.

"The bouquet of Pink Roses right? Such beautiful flowers, aren't they?" The girl asked, as she moved past Kira with an empty bouquet, he noticed that she was walking to the front of the store where the Pink Roses lay.

"Y-Yes they are." Kira answered, oddly standing there trying to keep his eyes of this mysterious girl's beautiful body. Considering, she's bending forward smelling the flowers.

"The order said it had to be thirty-nine flowers." The girl said, filling the bouquet, and continued, "That's strange considering many people just buy fifty in one go, if I may ask what is it for?" The girl asked, still filling the bouquet.

"W-Well, it's for my mother's birthday." Kira said, scratching his cheek as he swore the store just got hotter, or was that him?

"So you bought the Pink Roses as a way to congratulate your mother?" The girl said, packing in the last three flowers.

"U-Um...?" Kira unintelligibly squeaked.

"Pink Roses symbolizes "Thank You," "Congratulations" and is commonly used in weddings." The girl explained, as she handed the bouquet to Kira and it was at that moment that Kira noticed that her eyes were crimson-red.

"That'll be 1000 Yen." The girl said as she headed back to the cash register. All while Kira dug through his wallet and handed her the money.

"Thank you." Kira said, bowing as he walked way. He was stopped when he heard the girl ask him:

"What's your name? Mine's Mana."

"Kira Alexander, it was nice to meet you." Kira answered.

"Well, as this is my shop you're welcome anytime." Mana said from behind the counter as she waved Kira goodbye. Kira left the store with a smile on his face as he kept repeating Mana's name over and over., one reason for him to come back.

Wasn't he forgetting something?

Looking down at his watch his phone suddenly vibrated, pulling it out it was a text from his father asking him where he was with the flowers.

"Crap!"

A/N: This was actually inspired by me visiting a local florist and sadly I didn't meet my dream girl, but this struck me as I recently had a renewed spark for GC.
